Rodrigues said in a statement that the executives at governing body CBF and its coaching staff feel sorry for &ldquo;the victims of the brutal crimes committed by the former footballers.&rdquo;
Robinho was jailed on Thursday after a high court authorized his nine-year jail sentence from a trial in Italy to be served in Brazil. This week, Alves got the opportunity to leave prison on bail while awaiting the appeal of his conviction for rape. &ldquo;The yellow shirt that Brazilian athletes wear on the pitch is much more than a jersey. Just like football to Brazil is more than a sport. Those who wear it need to defend the feelings and values of a whole country they represent,&rdquo; Rodrigues said. &ldquo;It is embarrassing that an athlete feels comfortable to commit such perversity as if all he achieved through sport will stop him from being punished.&rdquo;
