Neymar Reacts Angrily, Slaps Teammate Robinho Júnior After Dribble in Santos Training
A tense incident unfolded at Santos' "Rei Pelé" training center involving Neymar and young player Robinho Junior, son of former Brazilian star Robinho. The event occurred during a training session specifically for players who did not participate in the team's most recent match.
According to Brazilian website Globo, the incident began when Robinho Junior successfully dribbled past Neymar during a drill. This reportedly irritated Neymar, who asked the young player to play with less intensity. However, the situation quickly escalated into a heated argument between the two, which included a physical confrontation on the pitch.
The same source reported that in a moment of anger, Neymar slapped the young player. The confrontation reportedly intensified further, culminating in a strong tackle that brought Robinho Junior to the ground.
The incident took place during a training session for players who did not feature in the recent match against Palmeiras. Santos FC has chosen not to comment on the matter, and neither Neymar nor Robinho Junior, or their representatives, have issued any statements.
Information suggests that the situation was later defused within the team after several individuals present intervened to calm things down, according to the same source.
