In Júlio César's participation in the "Mundo GV" podcast, the legendary Flamengo player discussed the moments in which Clube de Regatas do Flamengo conceded goals in the two games of the Copa do Brasil final. Furthermore, the former goalkeeper discussed Sampaoli's decision in relation to the red-and-black team's starting line-up.
''Matheus (Cunha) could suddenly have played in the final. But there was an option made by the coach that has to be respected. I wouldn't change it because he's a goalkeeper who comes in a sequence of games, minutes... In the São Paulo goal (at Maracanã), we goalkeepers know that it's a very difficult ball to read to get out, because when the cross comes from the line deep, almost on top of the line, it's one thing", said Júlio César.
In the second match in which Rossi played as a starter for Flamengo, he found himself in the decisive game of the Copa do Brasil final. During the 1-1 draw against São Paulo, some fans criticized the Argentine goalkeeper for the goal scored by Nestor, immediately after Bruno Henrique had scored. However, Júlio César, a former player for the Rio club, did not attribute blame to Rossi for the goal and explained the play.
"It wasn't a mistake. Getúlio, how many times did you punch the ball there in the 'bololo' and the ball went forward. Sometimes you can't execute the correct movement. You have to do it at that moment there, make the movement that allows it to be done. We know that the goalkeeper can't punch into the middle of the box, but his didn't even hit the middle of the box. It was much more due to the guy who kicked. The ball he (Nestor) caught is very difficult", said Júlio to the podcast "Mundo GV", by former Flamengo goalkeeper Getúlio Vargas.
Before the clash against São Paulo, Rossi was selected as starter in the game against Goiás, which ended in a goalless draw. In that match, the Argentine goalkeeper had little work to do, as the opposing team only shot once towards Flamengo's goal. However, last Sunday, Rossi faced a greater threat in goal. In addition to his skills as a goalkeeper, he also stood out in terms of passing the ball for Flamengo, taking advantage of his ability to play well with his feet, distributing 33 passes with an accuracy of 73%.

After talking about his decision to leave Flamengo , striker Gabigol received good news last Friday (4). The player was acquitted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) of the accusation of cheating on a doping test when he was still playing for Rubro-Negro. With that, the player used social media to vent and recalled the reaction of the Mais Querido fans and his fans.
CHECK OUT GABIGOL'S OUTBURST:
“Justice was served. But the wound remains. These were almost two of the most difficult years of my life, when I was unjustly accused, accused of something I never did. No prohibited substance was found, but they still wanted to punish me for an alleged “attitude”. I saw my character being questioned, my word being discredited, my family suffering, my fans divided.
I carried the burden of being seen as guilty before I was even tried. I experienced the pain of seeing potential new paths closed and young people who look up to me confused about who I really am. CAS today acknowledged the obvious: that there was no fraud, that there was no tampering.
Justice for justice is not persecution. I hope that my case serves as a reflection so that no athlete, or anyone else, ever goes through what my family and I went through. I leave this process with my head held high, but with the certainty that I will never forget those who walked with me. The truth always prevails! ”
ACCUSATION AGAINST GABIGOL
It is worth remembering that Gabigol was punished in March 2024, after being accused of trying to cheat on a doping test. Amidst the confusion, the player managed to be released to train with the squad the following month and returned to the field in the game against Amazonas.
However, Gabigol was only able to get rid of the accusations once and for all this Friday (4). Thus, the former Flamengo player remains free and unpunished from any other FIFA measure related to punishment for attempted doping fraud.
