The Argentine had an outstanding performance in the match against Athletico-PR, especially at the end of the game. Plassmann spared no words to demonstrate his admiration for Rossi's attitude, stating: "Rossi is already Flamengo!!! Nothing is missing."
The match in question was marked by a tense moment at the end, when Athletico-PR managed to score a goal. In situations like this, the pressure on the goalkeeper is immense, and the way he reacts can significantly impact the team's performance. Rossi showed impressive calm, even after conceding a goal in the final minutes of the game. His calm posture was maintained even in the face of an adverse situation, where he was attacked after taking a penalty.
FLAMENGO UNITED E AGUERRIDO
Rossi's attitude caught the attention of Plassmann, who highlighted the importance of calm and leadership in critical moments. For the former goalkeeper, Rossi's ability to maintain his composure and still motivate the team to seek a draw is an essential quality that defines a true Flamengo player. In his publication, Plassmann highlighted that Rossi doesn't need anything else to be considered an integral part of the team.
Agustín Rossi, who arrived at Flamengosurrounded by expectations, it has demonstrated with each match that it lives up to its challenges.

Flamengo defeated Argentina's Estudiantes 2-1 at the Maracanã Stadium . The red-and-black team decided the match in the first half with goals from Pedro and Varela. Mengão gave Estudiantes no time to breathe in Rio de Janeiro with a lightning goal.
Just 15 seconds in, Pedro capitalized on a pass from Plata, turned on his marker, and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring. The quick goal undermined Argentina's strategy and galvanized the Rio de Janeiro team, who continued to press. A few minutes later, Ayrton Lucas crossed from the left and Varela hit a beautiful volley into Muslera's corner, extending the red-and-blacks' lead in the first half.
Even with a two-goal lead, Flamengo maintained control and nearly made it three with Pedro, whose shot was spectacularly saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper. Estudiantes , for their part, barely threatened Rossi's goal and only managed to partially level the score in the final minutes of the first half . The feeling at Maracanã was that the 2-0 scoreline was a cheap one for the visitors.
In the second half, the pace dropped. Coach Eduardo Domínguez made substitutions, trying to give the Argentine team more momentum, but he ran into the red-and-black defense. The match was not without its tense moments, with cards for Saúl, Samuel Lino, and Alexis Castro, and Plata's sending-off after a second yellow card in a dispute with Facundo Rodríguez . At the end of the second half, Estudiantes scored in the 46th minute to leave the match open in Argentina.
With the 2-1 victory, Flamengo takes the lead in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for the 25th, at 9:30 pm, at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in Argentina. Before that, the team led by Tite faces Vasco next Sunday (21), for the Brazilian Championship, again at Maracanã.
