Goalkeeper Agustín Rossi experienced, this Friday (09), an afternoon of mixed emotions at CT do Ninho do Urubu. On one hand, the celebration for reaching the symbolic mark of 100 games with the Flamengo shirt. On the other, the repercussion of the episode of violence he suffered hours before, when he was the target of an attempted robbery on Linha Amarela, in Rio de Janeiro.
During the tribute organized by the club, the Argentine received a personalized shirt and received affection from colleagues and directors. In an interview with FlaTV, Rossi took the opportunity to speak publicly for the first time about the shock he experienced when returning from Argentina to the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
— I was even talking to director José Boto about renewing my contract after what happened, but the truth was that it was just a scare. I dealt with it on the trip back. Now I'm calmer. The memory will stay, but what calms me down is being here with everyone and ready to play against Bahia — said the goalkeeper.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday (08), near Bonsucesso. The car in which Rossi was traveling was hit by four shots: one in the driver's door, one in the passenger's rearview mirror, another in the rear window and another in the mudguard of one of the wheels. Despite the tense situation, Rossi was not injured. According to initial reports, the goalkeeper was driving alone when he noticed the suspicious movement and tried to accelerate the vehicle, when the shots were fired.
The Argentine remained silent until Friday's ceremony. At the training center, in addition to receiving the honor, he gave a statement to the Civil Police. The case is being investigated by the 16th Police Precinct (Bonsucesso), which is responsible for the area where the attempted robbery occurred. Internally, Flamengo is closely monitoring the development of the investigation and provided logistical and psychological support to the player. The club also reinforced the security protocol for nighttime travel of athletes who use their own vehicles.
Despite the scare, Rossi trained normally this Friday and is confirmed for the match against Bahia, on Sunday, in the Brazilian Championship. The goalkeeper expressed relief and gratitude for the support he has received since the case came to light. Rossi's performance at Flamengo has been solid since his arrival. With good performances and a low profile off the field, the goalkeeper has won over the fans. The milestone of 100 matches reinforces his status as an undisputed starter under Filipe Luis.
