Robinho, unsettled at Manchester City for most of his time there returned to his home land of Brazil where he will join is first club Santos on loan for 6 months. Robinho hasn't had the best of careers in Europe ... Real Madrid he was not having the best of times although he was getting regular playing time but as the time went on was falling out with the board in Madrid and he demanded a move. He went to Manchester City but as we all saw it hasn't worked out...
So he returns to Brazil and he get some reception with a helicopter entrance to the middle of the field in their stadium PACKED with thousands of Santos fans. He wasn't alone in this presentation, he had some guy named Pele with him. Don't be surprised if this move turns permanent because Santos isn't exactly a club looking for money, they have quite a bit to spend...
Will this revitalize his career like Ronaldo and Adriano who also returned to Brazil? Can regular playing time and if he shines can get him back in the Dunga's mind for the World Cup squad? These a re questions that remain to be answered, we will just see in 4 months...
This seems to be a sign of brazilian weaknesses towards the upcoming World Cup , i haven't seen a single brazilian stand out in performance and glisten like they could, would and should. Ronaldhino has been in a good stride of a form recently, but is it enough to progress the team through an entire World Cup? My guess is doubtful of them. after proving mental weaknesses partying away after a slumping performance against 9 man inter team. For me, the most part of a brazilians career, they could have a bright individual display of that typical quick footy play and only amongst less concerned defenders. This brazilian disfunction has been lingering much too long for me to feel belief in players of robinho, ronaldinho, andriano and others status. they stand little or no chance against top europe countries such as the mighty lions and solid defensive teams elsewhere.
ReplyDeletewell Dunga instill in this side a SOLID defense and they ran England all over the park when they played in October i think ... the won the confederations cup with the solid defense and they also breeze through qualifying ...
ReplyDeleteto me they have the best team in the world .. but Brazil has soo much talent that the likes for Robinho and Ronaldinho might not (probably won't) get picked for that squad ... Brazil has the best squad going in ...
YUP very true they have a wide range of players to select from but unfortunately it is exactly this range working against them, they have world wide experienced international players who are having hard times finding their feet and meeting solid ground. it's Their high-profile brazilian stature from historic mindful legends gives them ( every single cat, dog, rat and ghost) the belief to venture so far and so wide through to europian nations as also "LEGENDS", missing many of the fine tuning steps along the way, so half way through their escapade they find themselves drunk out after a night by a bar, sleeping with prostitutes for couple g's or in an unknown discontent despondency with their present teams. WHY HAS ROBINHO FLOWN BACK AND FOURTH SO MANY TIMES SINCE MAN CITY? hmmm...a) family crisis; death? birth? wedding? or b) discouraged by his new surroundings to find complacency? there choices are pending on matters similar of this, super star caliber players or a brand new home bread brazilian strike force so the world hasn't got much preparation to what they've been keeping some "top-secret" as if no one knows brazil has got inclining new talent. PERSONALLY, i would go with the evil i know and prepare their younger ones heads with what is further ahead of them. dude, chinoman don't get me wrong, brazil is fundamentally a fantastic football team with a remarkable foundation for the game, but frankly, dunga has had to instill a "SOLID" defense, football speaking and culturally. They are so naturally gifted moving the football forward and themselves along with their country but at times leaves their back line vulnerable. im still speaking on both football sake and culturally. they progress with high fashion and flare on all grounds but remains thin at the end. so the teams are short fleeted and there style of play only remains as "popular" and in this instance not a good thing as it is overly known. THAT being said, i believe after that FRIENDLY match, which was honestly not much of a display from either teams, F. Capello has taken a good gander at the brazilians expectations for the world cup 2010 and WILLFULLY place the needed strategies in his team to contain their counterparts.
