Rossi praises Jorge Sampaoli's work. The goalkeeper talks about his playing style being similar to the coach's in the collective in which it was presented this Thursday (06). The Argentine is eager to collaborate with the team as soon as possible, but understands that there are obstacles.

The press conference at the CT Ninho do Urubu covered many different subjects and one of them was Agustín Rossi's style of play. The archer said that he likes to "play with his feet", something that would not be so common, considering his position. He learned to play that way with other coaches he played with in his years of experience with football.

“I watched Sampaoli games , from Flamengo and I like the idea of ​​the game”, added the player, defining that he cannot see much difference between Brazilian and Argentine football. He said in the same press conference that playing with Flamengo is a dream come true at the age of 38 and he is happy to be welcomed by the team and Flamengo fans with so much affection, even though he is a foreigner.

Freshly leaving Boca Juniors (ARG), Agustín Rossi was announced by Flamengo last Saturday (01) and now has a bond with Mais Querido until December 31, 2027. The negotiation battle between the clubs lasted for months.

Disputing vacancies with Matheus Cunha and Santos, Rossi lives the expectation to know when will debut for Flamengo. That moment may not come anytime soon as he has been recovering from an injury since May of this year. He hasn't been on the field for months now and that's why he will have to go through a period of intense training with the Technical Committee. “I have to train, improve and for the competence to be able to play. It is to be calm and wait for the moment to be able to play”, concluded the player. Braz sees this dispute between the goalkeepers as something to be “good to watch”, since everyone is “well qualified”: “I think the club, the fans and the squad win.”

One of Flamengo's main players in 2024, Gerson has been fundamental under Tite's command. Last Sunday (15), in a 1-1 draw with Vasco, the midfielder scored Rubro-Negro's goal and stood out once again. This year, Gerson leads the list of Serie A athletes with the most minutes on the field since returning from surgery at the beginning of the season.

In March 2024, Gerson underwent kidney surgery due to hydronephrosis, a problem kidney that kept him away from Flamengo for around a month and a half. Since his return, the athlete has participated in all 37 Flamengo matches, in addition to two more for the Brazilian National Team.

Top-5 Serie A Athletes with the Most Minutes (After Gerson's Return):< /b>

1. Gerson (Flamengo) – 3246 minutes

2. Marcos Felipe (Bahia) – 3108 minutes


3. Fabrício Bruno (Flamengo) – 3077 minutes


4. Weverton (Palmeiras) – 3028 minutes

5. Agustín Rossi (Flamengo) – 3020 minutes


Of Flamengo's 37 games since the medical problem, Gerson started 32. The midfielder was a substitute in the first three matches of the Brasileirão, while he regained his rhythm after surgery, and was also on the bench in the duel against Botafogo, after playing 90 minutes against Bolívar (BOL) at altitude, in the group stage of the Libertadores.

After that, Gerson started 21 consecutive matches as a starter. He returned to the bench only in the game against São Paulo, in the second round of the Brasileirão return, when Tite opted for an alternative team. Gerson entered the final part of that match.

Next Appointment

With Gerson available, Flamengo is preparing for the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. Fla will face Peñarol (URU) this Thursday (19), at 7pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The return game is scheduled for September 26th, at the same time, at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo.
