Flamengo legend Julio Cesar hails current player: “Wonderful job” | OneFootball

Flamengo Legend, Julio Cesar Analyzed Rossi's Moment at Flamengo

One of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of Flamengo, Julio Cesar has the authority to evaluate all the goalkeepers who have been at the club. This Friday (10), the former goalkeeper spoke about Agustín Rossi, who has been defending Mengão from 2023 to the present day. According to the idol, the Argentine has been fulfilling his role well in the red-black goal.

— He is a goalkeeper who maintains great consistency. This is important for playing at Flamengo, the pressure is enormous and we know that. Rossi is doing an exceptional job, and replacing Diego Alves is not easy — said Julio Cesar, after an event held at Maracanã.

— After the beautiful history that Diego built here at Flamengo, with many titles, often being a protagonist. I think Rossi is doing a wonderful job. (Rossi is obtaining Brazilian citizenship, is there a spot in the national team?). I think he will want to play for his own national team (laughs) — concluded Julio.

WHAT DID JULIO CESAR ACHIEVE AT FLAMENGO?

Among the titles won with the red-black jersey, Julio Cesar won four State Championships, a World Champions Cup, a Champions Cup, and a Mercosur Cup. However, the former goalkeeper was noted for saving Flamengo from some relegations in the Brasileirão.

The former athlete also made history with the Brazilian National Team and Inter Milan (ITA), even being elected the best goalkeeper in Europe (2009/10). Additionally, Julio had stints with Queens Park Rangers-ENG, Toronto FC (CAN), and Benfica (POR).

AND ROSSI?

At Flamengo since 2023, Rossi has three titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa, and Carioca. Furthermore, the Argentine entered the club's history last year when he broke the record for the most consecutive minutes without conceding a goal with the Sacred Mantle. Additionally, the number 1 dreams of two more trophies with Mengão: the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
