ROBINHO FURY AT REAL
TREATMENT
Robinho - not a happy man.
Robinho's agent has revealed the Chelsea target's anger
and dismay at his treatment by Real Madrid and says that he cannot
stay at the club if he wishes to become the world's best player.
Wagner Ribeiro pulled no punches as he told reporters that the
Brazilian star has become completely disillusioned with life at the
Bernabeu after the club's treatment of him this
summer.
Now Chelsea have made a former offer for Robinho the split
between the player and Madrid has become even wider and the
problems have now been exposed by Ribeiro. "Chelsea have made a
formal proposal to Real Madrid for Robinho. I do not know the
amount, but the offer has been made," he is quoted as saying in
Marca.
"Robinho is very angry with the way that the directors of Real
Madrid have been behaved towards him. "He calls me every day to see
if anyone has told me anything about his future and I have to tell
him that I have received no calls. "I have spent three days trying
to speak with some of the directors at Madrid, but they have all
disappeared.
"Robinho does not understand anything. He wants to be the best
player in the world, but at Real Madrid he cannot achieve that
because they treat him like a normal player. "He has liked nothing
about the way that Real Madrid have gone about their transfer
activity this summer."
Madrid were reported to be ready to include Robinho in a swap
deal with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo and it is the
Spanish club's pursuit of the Portuguese star that caused the
problems, according to Ribeiro. "Real Madrid wanted to sign
Cristiano Ronaldo and have not been able to. The second option was
Van der Vaart. The third one was Villa and then in fourth place is
Robinho;" he continued.
"Things cannot be like that because he wants to be the best and
he does not have the support at Real Madrid. He is also certain
that Real Madrid is trying to sign David Villa."
In recent months, Robinho stated that he only wanted to stay
with Real Madrid, but that was before being made to feel like he
was down the list of the club's priorities. "Robinho's plan has
been to play for Real Madrid for many years and then go back to
Santos. Where is he going to find a better club than Real Madrid,"
Ribeiro said.
"But now he does not have the support he needs, and he knows
that Scolari is wiling to give him that because he knows him and
speaks to him often."
