According to Emerson Royal, his coach, Leonardo Jardim, has recommended that he focus on his main characteristics and do the simple things well in order to consolidate his turnaround. This advice has been key to Royal's recent improvement at Flamengo.
Royal has been training in boxe in his free time, which he believes helps him maintain his physical fitness and contributes to his performance on the pitch. He has also been praised for his recent improvement, which he attributes to the work of coach Jardim.
Royal is currently competing with Varela for a spot in Flamengo's starting lineup and may be given the opportunity to start against Botafogo in the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
