Manchester City dazzler Robinho insists he can match the heights
of Manchester United rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
Robinho told the Mail on Sunday: "I know all about
Ronaldo, of course. I think he deserved to be chosen as the best
player in the world last season, although I am not sure if he will
get the title this year because [Lionel] Messi is playing very
well.
"It's true I didn't have the opportunity to watch Ronaldo's
goals against Arsenal on television. I was playing football with
Robson Junior. Robson likes to play football and I love to see my
family happy. So I played with him. My son is only 18 months but
already he likes to try and kick the football. We will have to wait
and see if the ball likes him as well, but we had fun while the
United game was on!
"One day I would like to be the No1 as well, the best player in
the world. That is my aim while I am at Manchester City. I would
love to do it. Before then, I have a chance to win the Golden Boot.
Unfortunately, the team has not managed to win trophies this
season, but I am looking for this award as the top scorer. Ronaldo
has 17 goals at the moment, I have 14 goals, so I will fight until
the end.
"Individually, I think things have been very, very good for me
in my first season in England. I have been scoring goals, which I
love doing. As a team, I'd have loved to have won the title.
Unfortunately that was not possible this season, but hopefully we
can do it next year. Our aim is to be champions over the next
couple of years, to give our supporters the happiness they
deserve."
