Sale 'top': Emerson continues in free fall at Tottenham

The season was for beginning and the FC Barcelona had several problems on the table. The right side was one of the greater incógnitas inside the first team, since although Ronald Koeman trusted Sergiño Dest and Sergi Roberto, the true is that they were not any guarantees by the band. It is thus that the Barcelona decided refichar to Emerson Royal, one of the defenders of the Real Betis, that already had showed to have a big level and could be an important piece inside the first team.

However, in the last day of the market veraniego, the Tottenham Hotspur called to the offices of the club to ask after the Brazilian with an offer of 30 million euros under the arm. The culés had serious economic problems and to inscribe players, by what no thought it to him twice and sent him with direction to England. Now, it seems that his sale has been one of the best movements of the directive of Joan Laporta.

And it is that his performance inside the 'Spurs' has gone from bad to worse. From the beginning, to the eleven days to arrive, did with the titularity by the side and his physical deployment in the Betis seemed that it left clear that would not do him lacking adaptation. At all more far of the reality. With the arrival of Antonio Conte to the bench, the paulista has lost leadership by his low performance, and this Tuesday was the centre of the criticisms by his performance in front of the Middlesbrought in the FA Cup.

One fails that it leaves him exposed

Precisely a his error cost him the elimination to the Tottenham of the competition in front of a rival of Second Division. Entirely absent of the played, in the extention remained descolgado of the rest of his mates and finished enabling to Josh Coburn, the one who would finish annotating the only goal of the commitment. The ire of the means and of the fans did feel immediately, because it has escaped him in front of a rival 'inferior' the possibility to compete by a title in this campaign.

With a valid agreement until 2026, is not being a simple year for Emerson, that could be in the ramp of exit to less than a year to arrive to the group londinense. For the moment, it seems that the Barça did a business 'round' when leaving him leave, in spite of that the right side is precisely one of the points that Xavi Hernández wants to reinforce in summer.
