Brazil football legend, Ronaldo de Lima, has apologised to Neymar for suggesting his compatriot does not have a good relationship with the current CBF president, Ednaldo Rodrigues.
He had also claimed Neymar blamed the CBF chief for his ACL injury in 2023.
Speaking on the Charla podcast, Ronaldo said: “As far as I know, Neymar doesn’t get along with Ednaldo.
“He accuses Ednaldo of having injured his cruciate ligament in Cuiaba because of the unevenness of the pitch.
“That’s what I heard, I don’t know if it’s true. But it’s possible.”
However, Ronaldo has now taken to X to apologize to Neymar.
He wrote: “I would like to apologize to @neymarjr for having spoken about his relationship with the president of the CBF.
“As a former player, I know how badly told stories can harm us. I also know how much his talent can make a difference in the Brazilian National Team. That’s why I support him!”
