Goalkeeper praises Flamengo’s rout over Vitória, but highlights that the challenge against Grêmio will be greater

After thrashing Vitória, goalkeeper Rossi highlighted on Thursday (28) the challenge for Flamengo to maintain the lead in the Brasileirão. That’s because the red-and-black club faces Grêmio this Sunday (31), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

— We have to leave behind what happened against Vitória, it was a great rout, but it doesn’t help us to think about this game [against Grêmio]. Obviously, now Sunday’s game is a new match ahead of us to stay on top of the Brasileirão, with our fans, The Nation, at our home. So, we have to keep preparing for the week in the best way possible. To arrive well for Sunday’s game and try to do our best to get another win,” said Rossi in a video published by Flamengo.

What rout?

The Most Beloved steamrolled Vitória last Monday (25) and delivered a historic 8-0 rout, with a show from Samuel Lino, Arrascaeta, and Pedro. Given the opponent’s inefficiency, Rossi spent part of the game watching the outfield players dominate the 21st round of the Brasileirão at Maracanã.

Does Flamengo have absences against Grêmio?

The only absences are Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Alex Sandro, who is treating an injury to his left calf. Therefore, Filipe Luís will decide between Matías Viña and Ayrton Lucas for the position.
