He didn’t play against Paraguay not even in the last minutes of the match and the next day was part of the reserve team for the training. Robinho that was so smily at the beginning of the competition is now a ball of nerves, frustrated by his new position in the team.
“I don’t think an athlete has to stay satisfy. I understand Robinho and i don’t see anything absurd in is attitude. This is a personal reaction that we have to respect,” Mano Menezes said. “We always talk. I have a perfect relationship with all the players. And I always explain to a player why he is out of the team, which is what happened with Robinho, which is what a coach should do.”
