"Today I'm fine and I'm finally happy again. Coming back here after so many years away was special. We're playing in two important competitions, and one of the reasons I chose to come back was to make myself better known to the people of my hometown, after having spent so much time abroad. It's a wonderful feeling to feel appreciated."
"When he plays against Milan, yes (laughs). Antonio is a coach who taught me a lot, especially in terms of mentality. He talked to me a lot, sometimes he seemed pushy, but I saw it in a positive light. I knew his goal was only to help the players improve. He has a strong character, but we shared some wonderful moments together at Tottenham."
Emerson Royal returned to Brazil to join Flamengo after a brief, unsuccessful spell at AC Milan that followed his move from Tottenham. Flamengo departed for €9m, which represented a loss for Milan. Milan fans heavily criticized Emerson, and he said their criticism went too far. Emerson feels happier back in Rio and appreciates local support while competing in two important competitions. He follows Serie A when possible, keeps friendships such as with Rafa Leao, and credits Antonio Conte with teaching mentality and pushing players to improve.
