Manchester City star Robinho has said there are no differences between he and manager Mark Hughes and has sung the Welshman's praises.

The Brazilian maintained that he was happy at Eastlands and is aiming to win trophies with the club.

"There are no regrets on my part about coming here," Robinho told the club's official website.

"Of course this is only my first year, and I try to get better and better every year. Hopefully in the future I will be even happier at this football club.

"My relationship with the manager is very good. Our manager is a very good manager, an excellent manager.

"Of course expectations are high over how the team will do. But my aim is to remain here for a long time to come.

"The manager gives me total confidence, and he and the whole team help me to produce my best football for the club," Robinho added.

"That goal gives me a lot more confidence to score more in the matches that we have left."
