Sport And Fun: Robinho (Robson de Souza) Bio And Wallpapers

Robson de Souza (born January 25, 1984 in SÃ£o Vicente, Brazil), nicknamed Robinho (Little Robson), is a Brazilian footballer currently playing for Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team. Robinho has earned praise for his expert use of the pedalada and field speed. He is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world.

Born in Parque Bitaru, a poor neighborhood of SÃ£o Vicente, Robinho took to playing football when he had little other. At six, Robinho was taken on by Beira-Mar, a local escolinha, and they took the championship in his first year.[1] Robinho was claimed to look just like his teammate Marcelo, the spanish fans called them "the two twins".
In 1993, at the age of nine, Robinho drew attention by scoring 73 goals for the PortuÃ¡rios futsal team. Robinho joined the Santos youth program, at the time was overseen by Brazilian football legend PelÃ©. PelÃ© brought Robinho into the Santos FC youth dorms, where Robinho received his first regular schedule of three meals a day.

In 2002, Robinho graduated to the Santos first team. His work at the front helped them win the Brazilian National Championships in 2002 and 2004, as well as place second to Boca Juniors in the 2003 Copa Libertadores. Robinho's contributions to Santos attracted a great deal of attention from the top European football clubs. A world class player that looks to be on the verge of a European move.
Robinho's skill drew the offers of several European clubs, but it took the kidnapping of his mother in late 2004 to convince him to leave. On July 31, 2005, Robinho signed with Real Madrid for five years at $30 million and joined his fellow Brazilian internationals Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and JÃºlio Baptista. He made his La Liga debut on August 28 in a 2-1 victory against CÃ¡diz as a second half substitute for Thomas Gravesen. In his first season, Robinho scored eight goals, but the arrival of JosÃ© Antonio Reyes has brought the length of Robinho's stay into question. One of his most recent performances though, in the "El ClÃ¡sico" against Barcelona, which he earned the Man of the Match award may have impressed Fabio Capello. It has been reported that on 12th February Robinho may be allowed to leave Real Madrid for a fee of â‚¬30 million at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Robinho backed again that decision saying he'd like to prove himself that he is capable of impressing his coach and teammates.
National team
In 2003, Robinho was called up to join the prestigious ranks of the Brazilian national football team. His first international appearance came in the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup final, where despite his team's loss, Robinho displayed his talent on the international stage.
Robinho played in each game of the 2006 FIFA World Cup group stage, but only started in the final game against Japan. Many fans say he should be on the starting lineup, but his small size is a disadvantage when playing against bigger players.
However, whenever he had the playing chance he showed impressive signs and managed to dribble past even the world class defenders.
