00:00Let's go.

00:02Very good, look.

00:03Yes!

00:04Hey, goalkeeper.

00:05The goalkeeper was a little bad.

00:06What memories do you have of the favelas and Sao Paulo,

00:08and what importance did it have for you to grow up in an environment like this?

00:11There are people who have prejudice.

00:13Because you come from the favela, they think you can't get there.

00:18Come on!

00:19Why did you choose the number 22?

00:21Yes, from Kaká.

00:22The 22 is from Kaká.

00:24Surely Kaká is a player who is a reference for us Brazilians.

00:28And when I found out I had the number 22,

00:31I didn't think twice and I took it because I want to follow that legacy.

00:46Everton Royal, thank you for being here.

00:48Welcome to AC Milan.

00:50I'll quickly explain the rules of the game.

00:52Okay.

00:53If I score a goal, it's a personal question.

00:56Okay.

00:57If you score a goal, it's a football question.

00:59Okay.

01:00Perfect.

01:01Are you ready?

01:02Yes.

01:17Red question.

01:18We know you have a very particular tattoo.

01:21What does it mean to you to win or to lose?

01:24I put it in Portuguese, which is to win or to lose.

01:27And it means to win or to lose.

01:29It's a phrase I have in my life because when I was a kid,

01:33I'm from the favela, so I always had in my head to win.

01:37I had to win in life to help my family and especially in football.

01:42When I'm on the pitch, I always want to win.

01:45Even if I'm playing a festive game with friends, I always want to win.

01:49So I got this tattoo because it represents me in every way of my life.

01:53What memories do you have of the favelas of São Paulo?

01:55And how important was it for you to grow up in an environment like this?

01:58I know you also have a very important tattoo of the favelas.

02:02Show us, please.

02:04Yes, I have a tattoo of the favela.

02:08I have the favela here and here with my brother.

02:11And here I have the favela.

02:13What does it mean to you?

02:15For me, the favela is everything.

02:17A lot of people think that the favela only has bad things.

02:22But from the bad things of the favela, you can bring good things.

02:25That's what happened to me.

02:27Because I've never had the best conditions when I was a kid.

02:31And there were always gunshots where I lived.

02:35These things made me mature and I wanted to take my family away from there.

02:39So I dream of playing football.

02:42I told my mother, I'm going to play football and I'm going to change your life.

02:45As I told you before, people told me it was impossible because there are people who have prejudice.

02:51Because you come from the favela, you think you can't get there.

02:54And as I told you, my mentality was always to win or win.

02:59Today I can't go there often because it's different.

03:02Life is changing.

03:04But whenever I can, I go there.

03:06I help the kids, I help the foundations in the favela.

03:09Because I know it's important for them to have someone like me helping them.

03:17Wait, wait, wait.

03:19Wait, wait, wait.

03:23I'm really bad at this.

03:25Is there anyone in particular that you think interferes more with this club?

03:30In particular, my son.

03:32My son, my wife and my wife.

03:34Because my son came to change my life.

03:38And my wife is also doing everything to be close to me.

03:42So they are the two people I think about.

03:45Apart from my family, I have my mother and my siblings.

03:48But the main ones are my wife and my son.

03:51And it's always been my dream to be a father.

03:53So I'm really in love with my son.

03:56I want to be with him all the time.

03:58And we have a connection that can't be explained.

04:01And above all, my wife who gives me a lot of love.

04:05And above all, she has brought me my son.

04:07What's your son's name?

04:09Ravi.

04:10And my wife, Estela.

04:12Wait, wait.

04:13I have to score a goal.

04:14You can't...

04:15We'll try, we'll try.

04:16You can't keep scoring goals all the time, brother.

04:19Look.

04:22Look.

04:25Here my cousin is good.

04:27Look.

04:29First question, Negra.

04:30Two years ago you played against Milan in the Champions League.

04:33Do you remember?

04:34What do you remember about those games and the atmosphere of San Siro?

04:37The truth is that when I entered San Siro, I got a heat in my stomach.

04:42Because the truth is that the stadium is beautiful.

04:45And the fans too.

04:46So before I started the game, I was looking at the fans like this.

04:51Wishing one day to be in that position.

04:54And today I have the opportunity to be here in Milan.

04:56So I want to feel that atmosphere.

04:59But now with the Milan shirt, I'm here to make a difference.

05:05Do you have a nickname?

05:06Do you have a nickname?

05:07What can I call you?

05:08Royal.

05:09Royal?

05:10Royal.

05:11Also my friends call me...

05:12Black Panther.

05:13Black Panther?

05:14Yes.

05:15Terra Negra in Portuguese.

05:18Let's go.

05:21We know that you are a great lover of music.

05:24You have the dance in your blood, like all Brazilians.

05:27Where did your passion for rap come from?

05:30And I don't know if you knew that Rafa Leao also writes rap songs.

05:34Yes, I know about Rafa because I've seen that he has a song that he likes to sing.

05:40And I talked to him too.

05:42I told him that one day we have to make a song together.

05:45I fell in love with music since I was a child.

05:48I started writing samba.

05:50And then I started writing rap.

05:54And the truth is that I have a studio in my house.

05:57And I sing in my house.

05:59I make the music and everything.

06:00In Brazil?

06:01No, in London.

06:02In London.

06:03And also now in Milan?

06:04Now I'm going to put it in Milan.

06:05Can I start here?

06:06You can start wherever you want.

06:0955.

06:10No, but now let me score, bro.

06:12Please.

06:13Be careful.

06:16Take it.

06:17A little bit of luck here too.

06:19Black Panther.

06:20Why did you choose the number 22?

06:22Speaking of Brazilians, the number 22 in Milan is not an ordinary number.

06:26Yes, from Kaka.

06:28The number 22 is from Kaka.

06:30And of course, having that jersey is a very big responsibility.

06:34And I'm here to take it.

06:36And I want to make history like Kaka did.

06:39Surely Kaka is a player who is a reference for us Brazilians.

06:43And when I found out I had the number 22 jersey, I didn't think twice.

06:48And I took it because I want to follow that legacy.

06:51Let's go.

07:01Let's go.

07:03The history of Milan is full of Brazilian footballers who have been successful in the history of football.

07:09Cafu, Serginho, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Pato, Thiago Silva.

07:13How do you feel when you arrive at a club like this and do you have any memories of those players?

07:19The truth is that for us Brazilians, Milan is our team.

07:24It's a Brazilian team.

07:26So it has always been my dream to be here.

07:29Really.

07:30And of course, Ronaldinho has the magic.

07:34And I came to many parts of Milan because I liked seeing Ronaldinho.

07:40I know that the fans like Brazilians a lot.

07:42The club is very similar to us Brazilians.

07:46So I have all the confidence of the team and the fans to do my job.

07:57He's strong.

07:59Yes, a little bit of luck.

08:01He's a goalkeeper.

08:02A little bad.

08:03Why do you feel grateful?

08:05For everything.

08:06Since I started playing football, I have been grateful to God.

08:13I don't know how people are, but I believe a lot in God.

08:16And I am grateful for every opportunity.

08:19And sometimes in life we complain about something.

08:22I was complaining last season about some situations.

08:26And this season I'm wearing the biggest shirt in the world.

08:30New season, new dreams.

08:32New dreams.

08:33Always.

08:35I'm so bad.

08:39The strikers are giving me goals.

08:45Yes, come on team.

08:47In Milan you will find a Portuguese coach like Pablo Fonseca.

08:51As well as one of the leaders of the dressing room, Rafa Leao.

08:55Do you think the language can help you adapt in the dressing room?

09:00Yes, yes.

09:01Of course it can help.

09:03Because I still don't speak Italian.

09:07But it can help me to communicate a little.

09:10But what I have to do is to learn Italian as soon as possible.

09:15And to communicate with all the players.

09:19I like to talk, I like to joke, I like to dance.

09:23I like to do that.

09:24And for that I need to speak the language of the country.

09:27The last one.

09:33No, no, no.

09:41No!

09:42What luck, my friend.

09:45You are winning.

09:46Congratulations.

09:47Thank you, brother.

09:48But let's finish the questions.

09:49Okay.

09:50You have played in Brazil, in La Liga, in the Premier League.

09:53Now the Serie A.

09:54What do you expect from the Serie A?

09:56Yes, when I left Brazil I went to Spain.

10:00It was a slightly different football.

10:03It was a more technical football in Spain.

10:06And when I go to the Premier League it is a football with a lot of transitions, very physical.

10:12And now I come to Italy, which is a football a little more studied, a little more tactical.

10:17And I think that what I have taken from Spain, Brazil and England can help me here to make a good football.

10:24Because I know that La Liga here is difficult.

10:27And I come to compete and to win.

10:29Okay.

10:30I would like to play other times to win.

10:32No, but I can't.

10:33You have a little bit of luck.

10:35Thank you, Troy.

10:36Thank you, my friend.

10:37Nice to meet you.
