Last Wednesday night (1), Flamengo beat Amazonas 1-0, in the first leg of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. Rubro-Negro was unable to count on the presence of Erick Pulgar, Arrascaeta and Everton Cebolinha, who are treating an injury. After the match, Tite commented on the players' absences.

IN a post-match press conference, Tite was categorical in stating that Everton Cebolinha, Erick Pulgar and Arrascaeta will not be able to be present in the match against Red Bull Bragantino, in the fifth round of the Brasileirão .

Emphatically, Tite replied: “The three are out against Bragantino, they are not playing”. According to information given in the official broadcast of the match, on SporTV, Arrascaeta and Everton Cebolinha will only be available in the game against Palestino, however, Pulgar will only return in 15 days.

FLAMENGO'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST AMAZONAS

With three absences, Flamengo managed to beat Amazonas. However, the team's performance has been widely criticized for its lack of repertoire and for being a predictable team for the opponent. After the clash, Tite acknowledged Mais Querido's bad game.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT MATCH

With the team needing to win by playing convincing football, Tite commands this Thursday (2 ) the start of the squad's preparation for the match against Bragantino. The game will be next Saturday (4), at 6:30 pm, at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
