The bench of a former Boca goalkeeper to Armani :: Olé

Agustín Rossi remains the starting goalkeeper Flamengobut the memory of his performance in Boca, a team in which he clearly established himself as a starter until being called up to the Argentine National Team. One of his peculiarities: he had a very good response in penalties.

The footballer was consulted about Franco Armani’s bad streak in retaining shots from the 12 steps. “In penalties, the one who always has the loser is the goalkeeper. Franco is a great goalkeeper, he has been having a great year and that is why the call to the Argentine National Team, with the possibility of being in another Copa América. These are moments of the game. The play (for the goal) came from a side, the goalkeeper is the last one to have the responsibility after saving the team. It is said that the team’s defense starts from the forward. It can also be said that River missed two penalties, so the goalkeeper can help you, but if after what they kick they have to miss or the other goalkeeper saves… “These are moments of the game,” said Agustín.

“I don’t know if he’s going to be a penalty specialist.. It also goes through trust. Then, the issue of machetes… On the field you decide what you think. If you have a kicker who has five penalties on the left, you go to the left and he just finishes to the right… You can’t blame the goalkeeper,” he added in Un Buen Momento (La Red).

“I don’t know if Armani has little confidence. You see on the networks what the Temperley fans say. If he is a great goalkeeper in the 90s, it could also be on penalties, he can reverse the situation,” Armani was benched again.

Agustín had already stated that he would not play for River, and maintained his position. “Because of everything I had to live through and the time I had in Boca, today I would say no to River. I am in Flamengo, I don’t think about anything else. What comes forward are options, but if today I have to give an answer , it would be no,” he said.

Regarding the National Team, he said: “I always have the hope of getting into a call-up, but you have to perform and do things well in your club for the possibility to arrive. Because of the good performance I have, I know that sooner or later it will be arrive, I don’t take it as a disappointment”. Remember: Agustín already trained under Scaloni.

In addition, he said that Flamengo ruled out an offer from the Premier League for his transfer.
