I don't regret the decision to leave Madrid, only the way that I left, which wasn't the best.
— Robinho
I was a young player at Real, but working with players like Zidane and Beckham every day taught me such a lot: how you win and lose as a team and how you must respect your team-mates.
I feel really sorry for the way I left Madrid, but the fans don't always understand what happens in these cases.
Manchester is a sensational venue for football but an awful place to live... the winter, the cold and the dark nights. It's very hard for a young Brazilian.
It is a big challenge for me to come to the Chinese Super League.
From the day I arrived, I could see City's project was destined to be a success and the club would grow - but I didn't think it would be quite so fast.
It is terrible to be injured; you want to return to playing football.
I am very happy at Manchester City, and I intend to continue playing here for a long time.
I have always wanted to play at clubs like Barcelona. It's a great club. Any player would be happy for them to show an interest.
You can only be content with winning.
In Spain, they go to the stadium and treat it like going to the theatre. In England, they go to support their team, to scream and shout, and do everything they can. I love that.
I came to Manchester City because I see them growing and getting bigger. Can they be as big as Real Madrid? Yes, I hope so.
I've played three seasons at Real Madrid; I've given my all. I've scored goals, I've won two leagues, and that's not easy.
I play football like I dance.
I have always had a good relationship with Real Madrid fans, and I feel dear to them.
Since I've been in Manchester, people recognise me all the time in the city. And they have been very kind to me.
I always get lucky against Chile.
I am a special footballer, and I need to be happy when I'm playing.
Guangzhou Evergrande is a very unique club.
I had one-and-a-half years of joy in Manchester, despite the city being a lot colder than Madrid!
I want to be champion.
It is an honour that a coach like Guardiola speaks highly of me, for him to rate me as highly as I have read that he does. I genuinely appreciate it - from the bottom of my heart.
It's not easy to say no to a club like Barcelona. They are European champions, they're in a lovely city, and I like Spain a lot.
I have played for the national team many times, so I am used to good things - and bad things - being said about me.
I used the bus when I was growing up in Brazil. I don't want to diminish anyone who travels on the bus, but I haven't done that for a long time.
Kaka is fantastic and has so much ability. He is strong, intelligent, and fast.
I dream of playing in the English league.
Football is all about having fun.
Deco is a very skillful player. He thinks very fast on the pitch.
The language of football is universal. You don't need to speak the local lingo in order to be able to communicate with a ball.
The Premier League is one of the best in the world, without a doubt. The stadiums are always full, and the atmosphere is incredible, but not every footballer is able to play in England. The character can be difficult for a foreigner.
I am Brazilian, and I can't offer my best performance if I'm not happy in every aspect of life.
Milan, I was surrounded by great players; it wasn't the same at City.
At City, when I was playing, I knew that at some point, the substitution board would go up, and I was going to come off because the manager didn't have trust in me. Then, you start to lose your confidence on the pitch.
I am enjoying playing English football. It is very beautiful. With every game I play, I feel more comfortable.
Of course I would like to play for Barcelona. Who wouldn't?
The Premier League is very strong, physical football, and I am not a strong player.
When you leave Real Madrid - a famous club worldwide - it's normal to get criticism.
I hope to make history at the club and become one of the great heroes of Manchester City.
My dream is Chelsea. They are great, and my objective is to play there.
I want to stay at Real Madrid for a long time.
Real are the best club in the world. Any footballer dreams about playing there, and I am no different.
