A hero in decisive moments since he took over as a starter, goalkeeper Rossi is enjoying a solid phase with the Flamengo shirt. In an interview with MengoCast, from Flamengo TV, the Argentinean commented on adapting to the new FIFA rule that limits the time with the ball in his hands to eight seconds, already valid in the Libertadores , Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil .
It's time that is lost in a game..."
“It interferes (with the work), but I think it’s a rule that makes sense . Many times, when we’re losing and we have to speed up the game, there were goalkeepers who would spend almost a minute with the ball in their hands. So, that’s time that is lost in a game trying to get a draw, a comeback, all that. I think it’s a rule that was a very good choice for that reason , to speed up the game more and not waste as much time as was lost before,” explained the number 1, who also reinforced that he prefers not to take risks: “If we forget this, we’ll get a corner kick against us. And that could be a dangerous play. So it’s better to avoid it.”
Rossi faced resistance at the beginning of his time at the club. With few chances in 2023 , he only gained the fans' favor after a decisive performance against Bolívar, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores last year. Since then, he has established himself as a starter and gained the support of the red-blacks.
“It seems like I don’t notice it, but I can see it on the field. I want to thank the fans who go to Maracanã for their support , and the fans who suddenly can’t go to the games but keep sending me support from home. Maybe it’s also a little difficult, after so long without Flamengo having a foreign goalkeeper, to come and break that barrier . Nowadays, you can see that this is changing a little over time. The fans now have more confidence in me, and I have more confidence in them, ” said the Argentine.
Confirmed in goal, Rossi will be a starter in the match between Flamengo and Fortaleza, this Sunday (1), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship . Rubro-Negro can retake the lead if they win and Palmeiras stumble against Cruzeiro , at Mineirão. This will be Mengão's last match before the trip to the United States for the Club World Cup .
Tricolor fans promise to fill Arena Fonte Nova against Mengão in the decisive game of the 2025 Brasileirão, with more than 45 thousand tickets sold

Flamengo returns to the field away from home next Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . The clash promises a full house: so far, more than 45 thousand tickets have already been sold , confirming the expectation of a large audience in Salvador.
Ticket sales began on a staggered basis last Sunday (28), with priority check-in for members of the Tô na Fonte category. Even after the general opening, members can still guarantee a place in the stadium . Prices range from R$33 to R$280, with half-price tickets available and free admission for children up to 11 years old.
On the field, the match carries strategic weight for both teams. Bahia, defeated by Botafogo in the last round, is looking to close in on the top four and continues to monitor the results of direct competitors like Botafogo and Mirassol. On the other side, Flamengo is looking to extend its lead at the top of Série A and maintain its strong run of results this season.

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.

In the goalless draw between Flamengo and Cruzeiro , last Thursday (02), striker Gabigol experienced a special reunion with the red-black fans at Maracanã . Even with few minutes on the field, the former Fla player relived memorable moments of his time at the club.
Before the ball rolled, Gabigol greeted players and members of the Rio de Janeiro team. Among the photos, a hug with Filipe Luís, Flamengo 's current coach and former locker roommate, stood out. The number 9 also posed smiling alongside Arrascaeta and hugged old friends like Rodrigo Caio and Léo Pereira.
During the game, when visiting his former teammates on the bench, the striker even reproduced the famous “ fusion ” celebration, which marked the successful partnership with Bruno Henrique in Flamengo's golden days.
Gabigol only entered the field in the 42nd minute of the second half, right after William was sent off for Cruzeiro. After the final whistle, he made a point of praising the result on social media: " +1 point, thank you blue nation for the support! Now we'll see you at home ."
After the draw with Cruzeiro, with Gabigo, Flamengo does not have much time to rest . On Sunday (05), the team faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere.
