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.
Now back on international duty with Brazil after an impressive start to 2023 with Tottenham, Emerson was asked about his boss in wake of that explosive post-match press conference following the 3-3 draw at Southampton. Opening up on his relationship with the 53-year-old, Emerson has discussed what it is like working with the experienced boss.
"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.
