Goalkeeper Rossi participated this Friday (23), in the program “Resenha do Jogo”, on FlaTV, and talked about his very important performance in the qualification for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The number 1 also projected the next match against Bragantino, on Sunday (25), at Maracanã, and much more. Check out some excerpts from the interview:

Flamengo and Bolívar
"We played a great game there. We closed out the series in Bolivia, but the game started at the Maracanã. We played a great game here, and we continued playing a great game there to seek qualification, which was the goal of the group and the club."

Feeling of playing at altitude
"Playing there is different because of the oxygenation the body needs and the speed of the ball. We needed time to get used to the timing of the ball, the control, and the passing. In my case, I had a headache at the end of the warm-up and at the beginning of the game, but I got used to it quickly; I don't have to run much."
 
Duel against Peñarol
"It'll be important to recover the players who are suffering from short-term injuries and also the reinforcements that will arrive, like Michael, who is already here. We need to continue preparing to continue competing in the three competitions. Sunday we have a very important game, on Wednesday we have the Copa do Brasil, and then we have Corinthians. It's very gratifying for the group to be in all three championships. We're united and moving forward, because it's an important week. We were very happy with yesterday's qualification."
