Léo Moura pinpoints Emerson Royal’s problem at Flamengo | OneFootball

Léo Moura commented on the current situation of Emerson Royal

Signed in the middle of last year, Emerson Royal has yet to win over the Flamengo fans. Analyzing the player's current situation, Léo Moura, who played over 500 games with the Sacred Mantle, believes that the former Milan (ITA) player needs to have more courage and personality to succeed at the club.

— Players feel it. Many players won't be able to perform, and he has been one of them. Since he arrived, he has been under a lot of pressure and hasn't been able to respond adequately. This also happens because of the full-backs who have played for the club before. The pressure is high, just like it is with the number 10 — said Léo Moura, in an interview with RomárioTV.

— Some managed to resolve it, others didn't. This will always exist. Playing for Flamengo is different. When the fans put pressure on you, if you don't have personality and courage, it gets difficult. You feel it. Of all the teams I've been on, it's the hardest in this regard. It's daily pressure. You win, there's pressure. You lose, even more pressure. You become a champion, and if you lose the next day, there's pressure. Flamengo is different — added the full-back.

WHAT IS EMERSON ROYAL GOING THROUGH, AFTER ALL?

Whenever he takes the field, especially at Maracanã, Emerson Royal hears boos when the big screen announces his name. Additionally, with every touch of the ball, the player hears the sound of the red-black fans in the stands.

Wednesday (04) was no different. Emerson Royal felt the pressure, made silly mistakes, and was substituted at halftime with Guillermo Varela. The Uruguayan came in well and even suffered the penalty that resulted in Flamengo's draw with Internacional.

WILL ROYAL PLAY THE NEXT MATCH?

As Flamengo plays again at Maracanã this Saturday (07) against Sampaio Corrêa, there is anticipation to see what Filipe Luís will do on the right flank. The match kicks off at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca.
