Ex-coach of Emerson Royal predicts his future at Flamengo | OneFootball

Emerson Royal arrived at Flamengo in the last transfer window

Right-back for Flamengo, Emerson Royal continues to seek more opportunities in Filipe Luís’ team. The player, who arrived to fill the gap left by Wesley’s departure, is expected to appear among the starters in the match against Juventude on Sunday (14th). Former coach of the athlete and current manager of Figueirense, Elio Sizenando, guarantees that the number 22 will succeed at Mengão.

— He hadn’t been playing before, and the injury got in the way a bit. Filipe Luís seems to me to be a coach who likes to help the athletes as well. I think Flamengo has a lot to gain from Royal’s playing style. He fits in very well at Flamengo. He likes to get to the byline a lot and fulfills his defensive duties well. It’s about working every day and learning from the staff and the players,” concluded Emerson Royal’s former coach, Elio Sizenando.

It’s worth noting that Coluna do Fla spoke exclusively with coach Elio Sizenando.

When did Emerson Royal arrive at Flamengo?

Flamengo completed the signing of Emerson Royal in the last transfer window, after the red-black board negotiated Wesley with Roma (ITA). Thus, the Most Beloved shelled out nine million euros (about R$ 58 million) to take the player from Milan (ITA). Now, the player is competing for a spot with Varela in Filipe Luís’ team.

Will Emerson Royal get another chance in Flamengo’s starting lineup?

The expectation is that Emerson Royal will reclaim his spot among the starters in the next Flamengo match. That’s because Varela, who has taken over the right-back position in recent games, has developed a case of pubalgia. Thus, the club’s medical department will re-evaluate him next Wednesday (10th), after the end of the FIFA break, which could open up space for the number 22 to reclaim the position.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14th) to face Juventude, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Furthermore, the match will take place at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media.
