MN: ‘Start to re-evaluate him’ – Emerson attempting to ‘win everyone over’ after silencing critics | OneFootball

When AC Milan announced the signing of Emerson Royal in the summer, there were more jokes made than hopeful thoughts. Nevertheless, he is aiming to win over the fans.

Emerson’s career has seen him feature as a range of different players. Once upon a time, he was believed to be one of the next big things, but then a move to Tottenham Hotspur saw his career stagnate.

So when it was reported that Milan were looking to add the Brazilian this summer, the reaction was quite negative. Unfortunately, for the right-back, this continued into his Rossoneri career, and his start to life was rather mixed.

Initially, it seemed like he had brought balance to the side, with him and Christian Pulisic levelling both wings. However, as time has progressed his performances have been questioned, especially as Pierre Kalulu has been excelling in Turin.

Nevertheless, he is now attempting to win everyone over, as Milan News claims. The report states that his effort and tactical focus have made him somewhat ‘stand-out’ ish, despite his limitations, and after a good performance against Empoli, it could be time to ‘start to re-evaluate’ him.

Performances must, of course, be consistent from here on out, but the Diavolo may have made a shrewd decision taking a ‘risk’ on Emerson if they continue like Saturday’s.
