The Flamengo faced boos and criticism from the fans after the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Libertadores, which took place this Thursday (19). The fans' discontent was evident, creating a tense atmosphere in the stadium. However, goalkeeper Rossi defended the team and appealed for the fans' support, arguing that booing creates a harmful environment for everyone, both players and coaching staff.
Rossi was clear in stating that booing negatively affects performance of the team, creating a demotivating atmosphere: "It creates an environment that is bad for everyone. And it seems like we are doing our job poorly. So we need support." With this statement, the goalkeeper makes clear his concern about the emotional impact that constant criticism from fans can have on players, especially in delicate moments like the current one.

The Flamengo, one of the most traditional clubs with a massive fan base, faces constant pressure to present positive results. The defeat at home to Peñarol intensified this demand, and the dissatisfied fans did not hesitate to express their discontent. The boos echoed at Maracanã, a reflection of the frustration of a fan base that is used to seeing their team compete at a high level, especially in international competitions like the Libertadores.
Despite the defeat, Rossi also highlighted what he considers positive points of Flamengo's performance during the game. According to the goalkeeper, the team was superior to Peñarol, especially in terms of ball possession: "More than 70% ball possession (Flamengo had it in the game) and we're still alive." The red-and-black team controlled most of the match, but were unable to turn that dominance into goals.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.

Despite being signed only in the last transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez has already become one of the most important players in Flamengo's squad . The Spanish midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer and quickly established himself in the starting lineup.
Spanish newspaper Marca highlighted the athlete's rapid adaptation. " The former Atlético de Madrid player arrived at Flamengo with the mission of becoming an important player and maintaining a prominent role in the starting lineup . His adaptation didn't take long," the publication reported.
According to the publication, Saúl is experiencing "a second youth" in Brazilian football and has already established himself as a key midfielder. Despite only registering one assist in eight games , he has played a more defensive role in Filipe Luís's team.
In the victory over Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , Saúl started alongside Allan in midfield and provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Saúl Ñíguez should once again be among the starters for the red-black team.
