Corinthians hero cites Pedro to criticise Neymar | OneFootball

Ancelotti was at the Maracanã to watch Flamengo vs Vasco, which featured a goal by Pedro

Robinho Jr accused Neymar of assault this Monday (04), during a Santos training session. After another act of indiscipline by the No. 10, Corinthians idol and presenter Neto questioned how anyone could still defend calling up the former Barcelona (ESP) player. The commentator then suggested starting a campaign for Pedro, of Flamengo, to go to the World Cup.

— Is this the player you want? Is this the idol you want for the Brazilian National Team? Where was the national team coach? At the Maracanã. Did you see how Pedro played? Did you see Pedro's goal? The penalty he won? -, Neto asked, before adding:

— The kind of player Pedro is, when we don’t have another center forward like him. So, you want Neymar to go, but not Pedro from Flamengo. So, you care about Neymar’s well-being, not the well-being of the Brazilian National Team. Congratulations to all of you -, said the host of ‘Rádio Craque Neto’.

What did Neymar do to Robinho Jr?

Robinho Jr dribbled past Neymar in Santos training on Sunday (03). The No. 10, however, did not like it and went after the 18-year-old. According to the accusations, the 34-year-old player cursed at him, tripped him, and delivered “a violent slap to the boy’s face.”

And what did Pedro do at the Maracanã?

While Neymar was allegedly assaulting a teammate, Carlo Ancelotti was at the Maracanã to watch Flamengo and Vasco. As a result, the Brazil coach witnessed a brilliant goal by the No. 9 in the match that ended 2-2, in the 14th round of the Brasileirão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With their top scorer available, Flamengo will face Independiente Medellín (COL) in the fourth round of Group A of the Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Thursday (07), in Colombia. Coluna do Fla TV will provide full coverage.
