Santos squad backs Neymar in clash with Robinho

Columnist Paulo Vinicius Coelho reports the squad defended Neymar not to condone the slap, but because Robinho’s representatives filed an extrajudicial notice, seen as a "spoiled" attitude that isolated the player. Consequently, Robinho is benched for the match against Recoleta while Neymar starts. freshyourfeel.com

Santos president Marcelo Teixeira is investigating the assault, and concerns remain regarding Neymar's behavior for the 2026 World Cup, given his history of indiscipline.
