— He (Costas) is like that. That's his way as a person, as a coach. This ambition gives everyone a lot of confidence, him saying that gives more confidence to the team, to believe in what the return match can be — said Rossi, in an interview with ‘GETV’.

— But what he says or not, we play on the field. We know that on the field, if we do things well, we will be securing the qualification. But there's still a long way to go — added the Flamengo goalkeeper with humility.

AFTER ALL, WHAT DID COSTAS SAY?

Gustavo Costas is famous in Argentina for his 'electric' style on the field and also for impactful statements. Despite the negative result, the coach was unfazed and practically dismissed Flamengo in the Libertadores semifinal.

— It's open, thank the fans for all the support they gave this squad, for coming, for filling their section. And that we have to be more united than ever, because we are more alive than ever. We know that at home we will play the dream of going to Lima. Not just possibly, we are going to Lima — said Costas, still at Maracanã.

WILL WE SEE ON WEDNESDAY?

While Costas has the week free to study Flamengo, Rossi will take the field this Saturday (25) to face Fortaleza. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Castelão, in a game that will temporarily determine the leadership for Mengão.
