Flamengo hero Rossi joins elite list of Argentine penalty specialists | OneFootball

Flamengo overcame Fluminense on penalties in the final of the Campeonato Carioca

The title of the Campeonato Carioca once again had goalkeeper Rossi as the standout player for Flamengo. That’s because the goalkeeper saved two penalties from Fluminense. Thus, the Argentine entered the ranking of the top penalty stoppers in the country.

Rossi has saved a total of 32 penalties in his career, 12 of which were for the Rubro-Negro. Therefore, the Mengão player has pulled even further ahead of Romero, who has saved 29 penalties, in the ranking compiled by the website Noite de Copa.

What is the ranking of Argentines with the most penalties saved?

Of them all, the only one retired is Ubaldo Fillol, who, like Rossi, has already played for the Most Beloved. The veteran wore the Sacred Mantle between 1984 and 1985, which was a short time, but the former player made his mark in the history of Mengão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Rossi available, Flamengo now turns its focus to the Brasileirão. This Wednesday (11th), the team led by Leonardo Jardim will face Cruzeiro, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the tournament.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash between Flamengo and Cruzeiro through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
