Zago: Man City winger Robinho reborn at Santos
Palmeiras coach Antonio Carlos Zago says Manchester City winger Robinho has been reborn on-loan at Santos.
Robinho's form at Santos has been rewarded with a recall to the Brazil squad.
Zago, a former Santos and Brazil defender, said: "Robinho is a different player. I do not know what happened to him at Manchester City, but he is now one of the great players of the moment.
"It's fun to see him play for Santos, dribbling, he's like a kid out there enjoying himself."

I think he is not gd enough for epl...I must say that Brazilian players are better in flair but when it comes to epl, it is robust play...if u play like a sissy or too small-sized, u can't make it in epl...but as a professional who is paid millions, he should build up his fitness and play according to his strength...there are others small-sized players who played like a man etc Defoe and Shaun...and these players succeed in epl...but robinho whims and cried...go back to your homeland...he can't succeed in Europe if he dub play like a man.
What happened to him is simple - He joined a club he didn't want to go to, and couldn't make the grade in the Premier League as a result of it. That and he's a loudmouthed crybaby.
