Tottenham No2 Cristian Stellini has hailed the current form of Emerson Royal.
The 24-year-old Brazilian has gone from a stadium full of ironic cheers when he went off against Leeds in November and boos when he came on in other games to being man of the match on a number of occasions recently and gradually earning a cult status among some of the fanbase.
Stellini believes that the key for Emerson is to keep his intensity high and try not to overthink what he's doing during games.
"Emerson is a Brazilian player. We have different cultures from Europe and South America. Emerson needed time to understand the difference in the culture of football, but at the same time, he has to be himself. He has to show who he is," he said. "Sometimes this type of player loses confidence if he doesn't feel love around him.
"We don't have to stop to give him this, but let him understand the difference in the type of football. When his pace and his intensity is really high, he can enjoy.
"When he thinks too much, he's not the same player. So we have to follow this aspect, to feel Emerson every time being involved in the game."
Stellini is certain that after missing out on the World Cup, if Emerson can continue his recent form then a recall to the Brazil squad will not be far behind.
"If he continues to play like this, I think it's compulsory for Brazil to call him," said the assistant head coach. "I hope for him that that can happen. Also, not to give him an excuse, he lost the pace after the three-match ban (against Arsenal) and the World Cup.
"This season is completely different if you compare with the other seasons. The World Cup changed the pace for many players and many teams."
