After Flamengo's 1-0 victory at Maracanã, the right-back revealed that he asked the doctor to administer an injection so he could continue playing.

— My attempt to stay on the field was to help Flamengo. I could have raised my hand and asked to leave. But that's not part of my personality. I even asked the doctor at halftime to give me an injection, to do something. I told him: "Please, do something. I want to try". But opting not to return, as my performance would have decreased even more — said Emerson Royal on Wednesday (13).
