At this same press conference, Agustín, and Flamengo's football director (Marcos Braz and Bruno Seidel ) commented on the difficulties presented by the player in negotiating with the Argentine team. In addition to being away from training for signing with Flamengo, the archer had to wait for months until his former club accepted a proposal. ”Yes, I was looking forward to it, but we had to wait for the 1st of July, we tried to make it earlier, but we couldn't”, said Rossi.
Rossi also told journalists how much he was looking forward to debuting on the team. For him, playing for Flamengo – at the age of 38 – is a dream come true. The goalkeeper is already regularized by the CBF to debut with the Sampaoli team.
