Robinho is delighted with the
new steel Manchester City boss
Mark Hughes has added to his squad.
"What is encouraging is to see the team being built from the
back this season," said Robinho,
who lines up against Portsmouth
at Fratton Park today.
"When you build a house it is a must to start from the
foundations and this summer you can see how much effort the boss
has put into dealing with this.
"We have signed two of the best central defenders in the country
and that gives the attacking players confidence. When you know you
have players like Kolo and Joleon behind you, you feel confident
and it allows you to play your game.
"You can have the best attacking players in the world, but if
the foundations are not there you are going to find it very hard to
be successful. It was a long transfer for Joleon, but he expressed
his desire to be here and now he can get on with what he does
best."
