I truly dedicate myself to my club.
— Robinho
I played in England for a year and a half, and I know how English teams play - very well.
It is a physical game here in England, but I can cope with it.
Individually, I think things have been very, very good for me in my first season in England.
Rio Ferdinand is the hardest opponent I have faced - strong and quick. He didn't kick you. He was so classy. I could do all my step-overs, but he would watch the ball and tackle so immaculately. He only got the ball.
It's no good if you are at a so-called best team, but you sit on a bench.
I know what I'm worth, and I don't feel I should be talked about as currency for someone else.
The city of Madrid is a beautiful city, and my family loved living there.
I've learnt that being second is worthless.
Roberto Mancini did not make the most of me.
I liked Manchester, the club, the restaurants... but let us not forget the discotecas.
I do think I fulfilled my potential.
I get depressed when things are not right.
I feel happy here and want to stay in Milan for ten seasons and then retire at the age of 36.
In every dressing room in the world, players say things to each other after a defeat, and then it gets forgotten.
I want to win the Scudetto.
I saw United matches on TV as a kid in Sao Paulo. I loved watching Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was a hero for me because of the way he scored goals in all competitions.
Sometimes I am questioned why I play better for the national squad than at Manchester City. I am the same at both places, but City is one team, and the Brazil national squad is another.
Unfortunately, my departure from Madrid was not pleasant, but those things are in the past, and I have learned a lot and matured.
I owe a lot to playing on the street. And what was even better than playing on the street was playing football with my friends in the local graveyard. It was fantastic. We forgot what the time was and didn't even go home for our meals.
People wonder why I smile a lot. It is because I am doing what I love best: to play football for people who love me. It makes me happy.
The national team has always been a priority for me.
At Madrid, I was only used for important matches.
In football, you know anything can happen and that everything can change from minute to minute.
When you build a house, you have to start from the floor. You have to start from the bottom, the defence, and then you fix the attack.
For me, you can only be content when you're champions. You can only be content with winning away.
In Brazil, I didn't have it easy growing up.
Italy was the hardest league to score goals in. Those guys just love defending.
I know some people expected me to be a Ballon d'Or winner.
Barcelona are a great club, and Brazilians have always done well there.
Winning a derby is always a beautiful thing.
The family is the foundation of everything.
I want to be king of Manchester City.
United are a club known all around the world. No matter where you grow up, if you love football, then you'll know about Manchester United.
I would love to win the Champions League.
I had a wonderful time in Spain. I had the pleasure of being a league champion twice in a row and playing for a big club like Real Madrid, which gave me a higher profile.
I play for the love of football, not for the money.
People expect that you will play well and score a lot of goals, but it is not always possible.
I want to win the World Cup. I want to be the world's number one.
I think speaking English is beautiful.
I have to look for my happiness, and that is being out on the pitch, playing well, and scoring goals. That makes me happy.
When a Brazilian player comes to England and is successful, he ends up opening doors to other players.
At Real Madrid, I learned a will to win.
There was an image of me as a party guy. And yes, I liked to party.
If you ask my one regret, it is that I could not bring those City fans a trophy. That's the only thing that leaves me a little sad.
In Brazil, the coach respects the player's characteristics. In Europe, they are used to playing with two lines of four players, and they don't want to know what you can do. There, if you are a forward, the coach sends you on to the pitch just to run. You have to run, and that's it.
Kaka is a personal friend to me.
I am footballer, not a public relations person.
I'm blessed in that I have a family that has always helped me in everything I ever needed.
When I signed for Real Madrid, it was like a dream.
