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 .

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.

Although he has not yet debuted with the Manto Sagrado, the Colombian midfielder stated that playing for the Rio de Janeiro club represents an important milestone in his professional career.
"The truth is, I came to Flamengo with a purpose: to work, compete, and achieve the best for the club. The short-term goal is to play and earn matches. I'll work hard, focus on the clear objective, and the lineup will depend on the coach," the player declared.

Carrascal talks about the deal with Flamengo: "For me it's a dream"
"As everyone knows, Flamengo is a very big team. A South American team that means a lot. It's a dream for me to play in Brazil, so I believe I made the best decision for my career," added the athlete, who had been playing for Dynamo Moscow before the transfer.
Despite being physically fit and training with the group, Carrascal is still awaiting official registration with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to make his debut. The player's name must be included in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) to officially play for the team.
