Emerson Royal was asked about working with Antonio Conte and Richarlison's recent comments when speaking to the Brazilian media about his recall to the national squad
Emerson Royal has indicated that Antonio Conte has an "explosive side to him" but he does have a good relationship with the Tottenham boss. Signed by Fabio Paratici in August 2021, the Brazilian had been a regular in the head coach's Spurs side up until Pedro Porro's recent inclusion in the starting XI.
"As for Conte, I have a good relationship with him, he's not that coach that we have a very close relationship with, of talking a lot, it's his way," explained the right wing-back when speaking to Globo Esporte (via Sport Witness). "He's a coach who wants to help everyone, instructs, he shows the role he wants in each one's game. I don't see any problem, I have a good relationship with him.
"Conte is a coach who has this explosive side of him, a personality he created, but he is a coach who tries to help us as much as possible."
"As for Richarlison's interview, I believe he left the game with a hot head," said Emerson. "I respect the opinion, these are things that came from his heart, he wanted to vent, I don’t know if it was the best way, I’m not the one who will judge the way he said or stopped talking.
"However, you could see, even by the way he speaks, that he was hot headed after a Champions League elimination. We wanted to go further, there were several factors that interfered with that."
