Who else commented?

“Open your mouth is Royal. I gave my age now. Be very welcome!”, joked the red-black idol Olivinha, two-time world basketball champion. In addition, the athlete is also six times NBB champion.

Why Royal?

– Royal comes from jelly. When I was little, they said I cried a lot, and there was an aunt who liked to put nicknames on everyone. So she would say: “Look at Royal, big mouth”. Because there was the commercial: “Open your mouth, it's Royal”. So she called me Royal big mouth, because I always had my mouth open. And it stuck. Today I'm more Royal than Emerson -, explained the right-back in an interview with Flamengo TV.

Quiet negotiation for Flamengo?

Milan (ITA) was already negotiating the player's loan to Besiktas (TUR), with an option to buy for 10 million euros (R$ 65 million). However, Flamengo's interest convinced the Brazilian to change plans. Thus, the expectation is that the player will be introduced at Maracanã before the match against Atlético-MG this Sunday (27).
