Robinho recently claimed that he couldn't have fulfilled his potential
if he had remained with Real Madrid beyond last summer, when he became
tired of his fringe status and made a mega-money move to newly-rich
Manchester City.
He's impressed in England thus far, despite
some fitness worries, but it is widely considered that he has a long
way to go before he can be placed alongside world football's elite
players, just as City are still struggling despite their huge
investments.
Regardless, the Brazilian has got his sights on
Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who also happens to be a United
star and Mancunian counterpart.
"With respect to Cristiano, it
is unacceptable that they wanted to use me in negotiations," he seethed
previously, referring to Madrid's botched pursuit of the Portuguese
powerhouse.
Now that they share the Premier League, though, Robinho is keen to knock the winger off his pedestal.
"Cristiano
is an excellent player and he deserves to have won the Ballon D'Or and
FIFA World Player awards," the Brazilian admitted to the Daily Mirror. "But I am neither better nor worse than him.
"Cristiano
has his style and I have mine. I don't like making comparisons, because
I focus on playing football. It is up to others to judge who is better."
"Still, in Manchester I can fulfil my dream of being the best."
