Reflecting on Emerson Royal’s time at AC Milan, his agent emphasized the importance of happiness and consistent playing time as key factors in the player’s resurgence. He highlighted how Milan has provided the perfect environment for Emerson to thrive, stating, “The biggest goal is this: for him to be happy.

The new Champions League format and Milan’s chances

When discussing the new Champions League format, Emerson Royal’s agent acknowledged the challenge that AC Milan faces but remained optimistic about their chances. With Milan set to face Real Madrid early in the tournament, he remarked, “Right away, they will play against Real Madrid, the biggest champion. Very easy (laughs). So it’s already a trial by fire. It’s a big test.” However, he stressed that to become champions, they must approach every team with the same intensity, stating, “I think that whoever wants to be champion has to face everyone on an equal footing, they have to do their best.” He also highlighted the benefits of the new format, noting that with more games, Emerson will have greater opportunities to prove himself. “There are more games, so there you have more chances to show your work. It’s a little longer… with more games, he will have more opportunities to show his work.”
