Robinho returns to Santos

Robson de Souza, or Robinho, for friends, continuing its downward journey in this case, returns to his country to defend the colors of the Saints. In principle, arrives on loan for six months, which can be extended if the Brazilian club he purchase the pass.

"Descending said? Sure. The man was bought by Real Madrid in exchange for 25 million dollars, then to have an outstanding season in Brazilian football. He arrived at the Bernabeu with the obligation to outshine Ronaldinho, who by then would break at Barca. The truth is that never managed to live up to the gaucho, or the height of what he promised at the start of his career. Too individualistic in the field, troubled off it, decided to move to the Premiership when he got tired of Madrid.

And that's when you start the downward curve of Robinho's career: being able to choose a club with aspirations, preferred the millions Khaldoon Al Mubarak offered to join Manchester City. In my opinion, came too early to Citizens, when no had made major purchases that allow them to have the campus with that count today. The Brazilian quickly regretted his decision, flirted with some clubs, but his reputation had closed many doors of conflict (in fact, recently learned that Xavi and Puyol pulled down the thumb on his arrival in Barcelona.) As happened in Madrid at the club the player is tired, and both Hughes at first, as we Mancini, decided not to tell him anymore.

Thus, relegated in the City, pushed and finally got the club on loan yield to Santos, where by virtue of his idol is supposed to have continuity. Today, its presence in South Africa is hanging by a thread, and will have to break in these six months to get a place on the list. What is certain is that his career is on a toboggan, and while the man does not change some attitudes will be difficult to take back a place in the elite of world football.
