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."
