In a sport as passionate as football, it is gratifying to see talents like Agustín Rossi being recognized and celebrated not only locally
|
0A goalkeeper on the rise behind the goals of Flamengo has attracted attention not only in Brazil, but also beyond national borders. Agustín Rossi, with his impressive run of clean sheets this season, is gaining prominence in the Argentine news, especially in the renowned 'Diário Olé'. The publication classifies Rossi as "one of the keys to Flamengo's success", describing him as a true "wall between the goals".
Agustín Rossi's impeccable performance in the red-and-black goal gained international recognition. Since the start of the season, the Argentine goalkeeper has been a key player in Flamengo's defense, keeping his goal clean in official games so far. This defensive consistency did not go unnoticed by football observers, with the Argentine press highlighting his contribution to the success of the Rio team.
Although he maintained an impenetrable defense in official matches, Agustín Rossi did not completely escape conceding goals. The only goal he has conceded in 2024 came during a friendly against Orlando City in January. This setback did not shake his confidence nor diminish his impact on Flamengo's performances during official games.
Rossi's recognition beyond Brazil's borders reflects not only his technical ability, but also his ability to adapt and thrive in a new environment. His successful integration into Flamengo demonstrates not only sporting talent, but also resilience and determination.
Agustín Rossi's journey to a prominent position in the club Flamengo is a testimony of his hard work and dedication to the sport. Since his arrival at the club, he has shown a commitment to improving his skills and becoming a vital member of the team. His journey so far is an inspiring example for young players and a source of pride for Flamengo fans.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Rubro-Negro is not having a good time in the Brazilian Championship
|
0Flamengo has not been going through a good phase in the 2024 Brazilian Championship. Last Sunday (18), Rubro-Negro was beaten 4-1 by Botafogo, which meant that Tite's team reached a bitter milestone in the competition. With 25 goals conceded in the Brasileirão so far, the Rio team owns the worst defense of the G4 teams.
Currently, Botafogo, Fortaleza, Palmeiras and Flamengo make up the G4 of the Brasileirão. Of these teams, Rubro-Negro was the one that conceded the most goals in the competition so far, with 25 balls in the net. At the same time, Alvinegro were leaked on 24 occasions, Fortaleza on 20 and Palmeiras, with a less leaky defense, conceded just 19 goals.
With Palmeiras' last-minute victory over São Paulo, Alviverde reached the same 41 points as Flamengo but is ahead due to goal difference (12 against 11). Rubro-Negro was only overtaken due to the defeat they suffered. If they had lost by one or two, the team would have remained in third place.
Despite still having a game in hand in relation to Botafogo, the Rio rival opened a five-point gap over More Dear in the classification. Just like Flamengo, Fortaleza, who is in second, also has a game to play.
