a campaign against him makes it difficult for rossi to move to flamengo/archive
The political group Flamengo da Gente promoted, on social networks, a campaign rejecting the possible arrival of goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, from Boca, to the Rio de Janeiro club due to a complaint of gender violence made against him by an ex-girlfriend in 2016, highlighted the Brazilian press.
“Once again, @Flamengo associates his name with the possible hiring of a player with a history of violence against women. This time, the Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. Rossi was accused of assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend ”, they wrote from The Flamengo Da Gente group on their Twitter.
According to Globo Esporte, the criticism is based on an accusation made against her in 2016, when she was still a goalkeeper for Estudiantes and, at that time, the woman exposed conversations with threats and shared photos with bruises on social networks.
“I was afraid of dying when he locked me up and threatened me,” Segovia stated.
“I am afraid of the Justice that this country has, because when I made the complaint at the City Bell (La Plata) police station, they answered me: ‘You know that this is difficult because he is a player from here,'” the woman recalled in an interview.
This situation arises hours before the trip of the leaders of the Brazilian club, Marcos Braz (vice president of soccer) and Bruno Spindel (executive director) to Argentina to try to specify the arrival of the Boca goalkeeper, whose contract will end on June 30, to the Rio de Janeiro club.
This background had also conditioned Rossi in negotiations he had in 2019 with the Minnesota United franchise, of the United States MLS.
Braz stated that Flamengo only became aware of the situation in the last few hours and reported that the case is being analyzed, but that the club will only make a decision once the transfer is completed.
