Robinho furious over Neymar's attack on his son and unwilling to forgive
Former Brazil striker Robinho, currently behind bars, learned from his lawyers about an incident at the training center: Neymar showed aggression towards his son, Robinho Jr.
Details: According to Planeta do Futebol, the ex-footballer is outraged by what happened and is not ready to settle for a simple apology. What stings Robinho most is that he counted on Neymar to act as a sort of 'godfather' and mentor for his son at the academy—just as Robinho himself once looked after a young Neymar at the start of his career.
Now, Robinho is demanding an official investigation: he insists on the release of training footage, a hefty fine for Neymar, and a public apology.
Interestingly, Robinho Jr. himself was ready to let the matter slide after accepting the superstar forward’s apology. However, due to his father's firm stance, the case is likely to escalate, potentially leading to further legal consequences.
Reminder: Neymar was left out of Brazil's national team roster.
