Emerson Royal reacts to Nuno Espirito Santo rumour

Emerson Royal has talked about his relationship with former Tottenham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo. The 22-year-old gave an interview when Nuno was in charge and spoke about how the coach would not give him orders in Portuguese, something that made it more difficult for him during his start in north London. But Emerson has now rubbished rumours of him having a problem with the ex-Tottenham manager, via Sport Witness.

"Let me explain this rubbish. When I gave an interview talking about it, it wasn’t that he didn’t translate to annoy me," the Brazilian said.   "He used to say this to me: you have to learn English. I’ll go through the training and you’ll get by to understand the training, because that way you’ll learn. So he did it for good.   "And I spoke in the interview, I spoke relaxed, and people understood that he was messing with me. I wasn’t complaining. That was good. The things I know in English, that’s why. Because I had to learn."
