"He was my idol since childhood" – Robinho Jr. addresses the public amid Neymar scandal

Neymar found the strength to apologize.

Details: Robinho Jr. made a statement in an interview regarding the recent scandal with 34-year-old Neymar, which led to a training ground altercation at Santos.

Robinho Jr. admitted that Neymar has been his idol since childhood and that there are now no disagreements between them:

"I was upset, he was my idol since I was a kid, I love him very much. When I was eight, he gave me a jersey—I cried so much back then and I still keep that shirt to this day. The situation got way bigger than it should have. Even if it was a mistake, he already apologized and acknowledged it [...] he was man enough to admit his error, and now everything is fine. People say a lot of things that aren’t true. It’s all settled now," Robinho Jr. stated.

Earlier, media reported that Brazil's head coach Carlo Ancelotti decided not to call up Neymar for the World Cup because of this incident.
