Robinho: ‘Milan love Brazilians’

Robinho has declared that his current period with Milan is the happiest of his six-year spell in European football.

The Brazilian gave a full and honest interview to Brazilian football website globoesporte.com this week, during which he discussed various topics ranging from his departures from Real Madrid and Manchester City to his dedication to the Brazilian national team. The player began, though, with a glowing account of his current situation at San Siro and of the club’s love for Brazilian footballers.

“I feel at home in Milan. I’m going through a really good time. It is a club that loves Brazilians and treats us very well. I am adapting more and more, I am very happy here.

“In Madrid it was very good too. It is an excellent club and Spanish football is easier to adapt to for a Brazilian player. But there was jealousy during my time there for my trips abroad with Brazil.

“Here it is different, they treat us superbly. Even in Manchester it was good, but the field was very different. English football has a lot of strength and it is complicated for a Brazilian footballer to adapt to it. Even more so for one who plays up front like me.

“In Milan there are only good things. They love Brazilians and always speak well of those that have passed through here. There is this love, this openness from the beginning. I did not expect it was that good.

“To date, there has been much talk of Kaka, Serginho, Dida, Cafu, even of Ronaldo who made more history at Inter, he is highly regarded here. Now we are making our history.

“Of course, when a Brazilian player sits on the bench they get very upset still, but it is part of life, it is normal in football.”

The 27-year-old discussed how he feels he has developed as a footballer since arriving in Europe in 2005 and whether the perception that he has become a more tactical player is correct.

“I think I have changed the way I play. Today I prefer to shoot at goal than try a stepover. But without losing the joy, of course. That is something we must always have. European football has taught me to play more for the team and a little less for the individual.”

The player was asked if he had any regrets for past decisions made in his time with Real Madrid and Manchester City.

“In Madrid I wanted to leave for being dissatisfied with the club, which was not valuing me as I wanted at the time. But I ended up going to a club which is quite difficult to adapt to as a Brazilian.

“Even today if I was to ever leave [Milan] I do not know if I would choose City, with all due respect to the club. The question is more England itself, which is a country that is not so good for my football. I do not regret having left it.

“I do regret the way I left Madrid though, fighting. That was not good for my image, or towards the club. Now I am happy. In Milan, I play and have been helpful to the team. This is most important.”

The No 70 then left an interesting side-comment with regards his current happiness at San Siro.

“Of course, in football things change very fast. A guy might get two or three months on the bench and think ‘oh, I want to make la Seleção, I want to play’ and already they are thinking about returning to Brazil. For now though, I am happy.”

Robinho also took time to press home his commitment to the national team. With kind words for Ronaldinho, Kaka and Adriano, Robinho put himself amongst them in terms of experience he believes is still important for Brazil going forward.

With 90 caps to his name, the attacker also refused to rule out offering that experience to younger players at the Olympics next summer, which incidentally run into the middle of August and pre-season for Milan.

“Everything that is related to Brazil I am all for. I think when a player is called he has to go, this is our country. You must have the will, joy and desire to play.

“I do not know the will of the Coach, if he wants to pick me. So I believe that for the Olympics, no. But I will prepare myself as if I am going to be called up. The Seleção is always important.”

Robinho finished the interview with a reflection on if he will ever be crowned the best in the world by FIFA.

“This will always be a dream, but it is not an obsession. If I am not the best in the world, I cannot feel frustrated by it. I will always work for myself and always want the best.

“If it happens, great. If not, I’ll continue playing my football. There are many players who have not won this award and are marked in history. It is a dream that I hope to accomplish.”

the minute tevez puts pen to paper for Milan, is the minute robinho's last season at milan is announced.

Or maybe Pato's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

- you dont seem to be affected by that one bit, you prefer Robinho to Pato ?

Not really, but I don't think it's fair to Robinho considering him scrap paper like you did in your comment.

[han2503]

It's pretty obvious that Robinho would be the one to leave imo.

And it's not like we're going to get a truck load of cash for Pato atm. It would be really bad business for the management to sell him now. Not to mention the fact the both Berlu and Galliani seem to be 100% behind Pato. No matter what you guys think of him. Berlu reiterating that Pato should be playing more, just this weekend says a lot imo.

And who knows? Maybe we'll keep all 5, loan El Shaa and Pippo seems to be heading for the exit as well. Those are 5 top notch strikers right there, is it too much, maybe, but it also could turn out to be very beneficial for us should they all be kept happy. For me, I don't consider Robinho a striker, he's an in betweener. Playing him as an out and out striker is causing major finishing mishaps. He might have missed a few last season when he was playing the AM position but some of the sitters he's missed this season are just astonishing.

If we don't buy an AM this summer, than no doubt all 5 should be kept, with Robinho being made a permanent option for AM imo

Keeping 5 players for 2 positions happy is nearly impossible. Most teams struggle to keep 4 decent strikers happy. That's without the fact that Ibra is too important to drop.

Yeah, it's more like four strikers for one position, considering Ibra is untouchable like he should be. Keeping them all happy, I can't see it. It would meaning changing strikers every game. I'd rather have a consolidated trio instead. So yeah, one between Pato and Robinho should leave.

You guys seem to be forgetting the injuries. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Pato spends half the year out, anyway, give or take a week or two. And I don't think Ibrahimović is untouchable. In the sense that the guy needs regular rest, and should come from the bench of not at all when we play smaller sides. More often than not, the Swede burns out come the crunch time.

In fact, if we are aiming for the biggest prizes this year and next (Europe), he needs to last the distance.

Even if you consider all possible negative scenarios, five world class strikers are too much. Especially if you consider their egos, too.

[acid911]

I hear ya, but it would be a disservice to whoever that gets the nudge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) 14 goals for all three last season, all three (Pato, Ibra and Robinho) have done their part this season too, up till now anyway. The only solution I see is if we play three forwards each and every match, or either Cassano and/or Tevez starts playing in the hole, the AM position.

And this is discounting both Inzaghi and El Shaarawy. Anyway, apart from Pato everyone can play in the midfield.

[X-Offender]

Well, in that case, it should be:

Boateng - MvB - Nocerino
Tevez - Ibra
Pato

A sort of an offensive christmas tree formation. I'm sure it would make Berlusconi very happy.

[acid911]

It makes me happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) I'd say go for it if we do manage to land Tevez. Much more dynamic!
