good news from robinho

Not once you’ve found yourself screaming at the screen after yet another Robinho miss as the Brazilian forward missed a load of chances, including two memorable ones this season: against Genoa and Barca.

Even though finding the net is a rather tough task for Binho, he finished the last season with 15 goals to his name, and he says that if he could score more he’d be regarded one of the best forwards in the world.

“Mamma mia, I couldn’t sleep [after the miss against Genoa]. I have to be more ruthless, more and more concentrated,” Robinho told the Rome-based sports daily il Corriere dello Sport. “I’m sure that if I were to score 15-20 goals a season, I’d be one of the top 5 attacking players in the world. I’m working at it.

“Sometimes you’re sure you’re going to score and then the concentration betrays you. I’m not sharp in front of goal because I run a lot? Maybe, because in fact I run a lot and I often go to help the midfield, but that cannot and must not become an excuse. I agree with Ibrahimovic when he says that we miss Cassano.

Alexandre Pato has been linked with a PSG move but Adriano Galliani made it clear today that Pato is not for sale. The Brazilian thinks Pato should stay at Milan as he has great potential. “Pato just needs a bit of patience because he has great qualities and is still young. In my opinion, he can win the Ballon d’Or.”
