He previously played for Santos, helping them win two Brazilian National Championships (2002 and 2004), and in two editions of the Copa Libertadores, helping that team finish runners-up to Boca Juniors in the 2003 tournament. Robinho's contributions to Santos attracted a great deal of attention from the top European football clubs.
Ability
While Robinho is one of the smallest forwards physically, his low center of gravity plays to his strengths. Among Robinho's strengths are his attacking instincts, his sheer speed, acceleration, agility and dribbling.
As often happens with talented young Brazilians, Robinho has been compared to the great footballers Pele and Garrincha by both fans and pundits and has been hailed by them as Pele's successor in Brazilian football.
