Furthermore, Royal stated that he deserves to be ‘rewarded’ for the dedication he has shown at Flamengo

Flamengo did not have the start to the season that the fans had imagined. In the meantime, there has been no shortage of criticism directed at the full-back Emerson Royal. Despite this, the player stated that he works both inside and outside the Ninho do Urubu to reach his best physical and mental condition.

In summary, during an interview with GE, Royal opened up and admitted that he sees a psychologist in search of better mental health to deal with criticism. In addition, the full-back also emphasized that he takes care of his diet and health in general, even when he is away from Flamengo’s training center.

— We watch the game, we see the athlete out there for 90 minutes, but we don’t see what’s behind that. How the player is as a human being. I am someone who is very friendly with everyone, I talk to everyone, I support, I work a lot, a lot, a lot. I am a very hard-working guy. I work at the club, I work outside, I take care of my diet, I take care of my mind, I see a psychologist. I am someone who deserves this, he said, before adding:

— For my work, I deserve a reward. The players know about my consistency, my performance, my daily work, the group has affection for me. Besides the players, the people around us always say they root for me to do well because I deserve it. People see that you are a serious guy when you have to be, but you’re also fun, you support your teammates and the people at the club, and that good energy helps things flow, he concluded.
