A Quote by Robinho

Sometimes I am questioned why I play better for the national squad than at Manchester City. I am the same at both places, but City is one team, and the Brazil national squad is another.
My first aim is to play well for my club, Manchester City. If I do, I am sure that will come to the attention of the national manager.
When Pep Guardiola accepted the Manchester City job, he would have asked himself one question about the club's current squad: is this a team that can win me the Champions League?
I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City. My exposure would be better because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league.
I've shown I am deserving to be in the England squad, but I don't just want a place in the squad; I want to be in the team.
I'm not sure how I became that way. But I've always been that way. Every team has to have at least one emotional player on the squad, or it wouldn't feel like a real squad. That lifts the squad up whenever it's down. That's what I try to do.
City has helped me and Chelsea has helped me to be in the national squad.
Diego Tardelli has a very good history with the national team, and left a legacy of his time in Dunga's squad.
Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there - and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend's family is from Manchester.
Like cricket has their 'A' team that plays against other international 'A' teams and get exposure. Hockey should also have a similar development squad, which can play in non-premium international tournament, while the national team plays in bigger meets. This way, we will have players ready with international exposure.
For me, I have always thought a squad comes before everything. I always make decisions for the good of the French national team.
The Brazilian national team will always be special in the career of every player. Only those who make it by here can imagine what it feels like to see your name in the squad.
You will never see United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the media taking problems he has or the squad has or the club has into the open. Never, ever. But you do see that at Manchester City.
It's not easy, especially for a German national team player who did great things in the past and maybe is struggling. That's why I think most of the German national team play abroad because if you don't play for Bayern Munich and you don't always win, it's difficult.
You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.
I was always attracted most to joining City, and I am pleased to be at such a good club with such a big ambition as Manchester City.
When you have a small, balanced squad, you can work better. First of all everyone is involved in every squad list, a meeting can be a good training session.
