‘I crossed the line’ says 34-year-old Brazil forward
Neymar hugs teenage teammate after Santos goal
Neymar has publicly apologised to his Santos teammate Robinho Júnior for slapping him during a training session, as the pair appeared to put the dispute behind them during a game on Tuesday.
Santos said they had opened an investigation this week after the altercation between Neymar and the 18-year-old son of Robinho, the former Real Madrid and Manchester City striker.
“If you want an apology in front of the press, here it is. I had already apologised to him and to his family. I crossed the line,” Neymar told reporters after Santos’ 1-1 draw against Recoleta in Paraguay.
