Robinho: Milan love boys from Brazil

Milan striker Robinho says he is happy at the Giuseppe Meazza, pointing to his team’s tradition of fielding players from Brazil.

The South American forward has been injury-prone of late for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, and reports from his homeland have even speculated that Santos are trying to bring the 27-year-old home.

However, the Sao Vicente-born star has stated that he has never been happier, and wants to commit his future to the Scudetto holders.

“I feel at home in Milan,” the former Real Madrid man told La Repubblica.

“I’m going through a really good period. It is a club that loves Brazilians and treats us very well. I am adapting more and more, I am very happy here.”

“In Madrid it was very good too. It is an excellent club and Spanish football is easier to adapt to for a Brazilian player. But there was jealousy during my time there for my trips abroad with Brazil.”

“Here it is different, they treat us superbly. Even at Manchester City it was good, but the game was very different.”

“English football has a lot of strength and it is complicated for a Brazilian footballer to adapt to it. Even more so for one who plays up front like me.”

“In Milan there are only good things. They love Brazilians and always speak well of those that have passed through here. There is this love, this openness from the beginning. I did not expect it to be that good.”

“To date, there has been much talk of Kaka, Serginho, Dida, Cafu, even of Ronaldo who made more history at Inter, he is highly regarded here. Now we are making our history,” he said.

Milan, who take on Chievo on Sunday, are three points behind leaders Udinese.
