About ROBINHO
On January 25, 1984 in São Vicente, Brazil), nicknamed Robinho (Little Robin) is a Brazilian football player (forward), considered by many to be one of the best players in the Campeonato Brasileiro since his debut for Santos Football Club in 2002; in addition to excelling in the Brasileiro, he is also one of the most promising prospects for the Brazilian national team.
Robinho made his debut for Santos in the 2002 Brasileiro, where along with teammate Diego, he helped lead the club to a championship, the club's first since Pelé's departure.
