He told the club's website: "My number is 33 because it's my lucky number. I was born on 3 August and I always liked the No3. In all my clubs I wore the No33 – in Roma and Chelsea and now I took this number as well because it's my lucky number and I feel good with it.

“I have a tattoo with this number as well, so for sure I had to have it and I was happy to see it was free here!"

Emerson also said: “The project is clear – to try to win every game and to try to make a good season because I think that's our level, the level of this team, and the Club deserves it. The project is this, it's clear, and we have to try to make this way."
