Flamengo beat Deportivo Táchira 1-0 on Wednesday night (28), at Maracanã, and secured their place in the next phase of the Copa Libertadores. But, even with the positive result, part of the fans left the stadium protesting, with boos directed at the team's performance - which deeply bothered goalkeeper Rossi.
The Argentine, who is the regular goalkeeper for the red-and-black team and one of the team's leaders, spoke out at the end of the match and defended his teammates. For him, the focus of the night was to secure qualification, and that was achieved. Therefore, he did not see any sense in the reaction from the stands. — I think it was a bit unnecessary (the boos). We wanted to qualify and we did, so we should celebrate — said Rossi, still on the Maracanã pitch.
Even without putting on a great performance, Flamengo dominated most of the game, controlled possession and created good chances, especially in the first half . The winning goal came from Léo Pereira, after a precise cross from Luiz Araújo . Even so, the fans expected a more convincing performance against a technically inferior opponent. The discomfort was visible especially in the final minutes of the match, when Táchira pressed with aerial balls and almost snatched the draw.
Rossi, however, recalled that the team is still alive in all competitions and compared it to the 2023 Copa do Brasil campaign, when Flamengo won all away games in the decisive stages. — We are alive in the Brazilian Championship. Happy about that. I know everyone wants to decide at home, but last year we always won the Copa do Brasil away. In this sense, it is unnecessary (the boos) — he added.
The goalkeeper has been one of the main names of the season. With important saves and consistent performances, he has earned the trust of the coaching staff and most of the fans . The irritation with the protests, therefore, also reflects the leadership role he has assumed in the squad. The game also marked the return of some starters who were rested over the weekend, such as Arrascaeta and Everton Cebolinha. Even with a practically complete squad, Flamengo was unable to excite. Coach Filipe Luís, in fact, avoided effusive celebrations on the bench and preferred a more restrained stance.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Mengão will start selling tickets for the next three home matches in the Brasileirão on Monday (4).
