'''Robson de Souza''' (born [[January 25]] [[1984]] in [[São Vicente, São Paulo|São Vicente]], [[São Paulo]]), nicknamed '''Robinho''', is a [[Brazil]]ian [[association football|footballer]] playing for [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]<ref>{{cite news |title=El Manchester City se hace con Robinho por 42 millones de euros |url=http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/1a_division/real_madrid/es/desarrollo/1160327.html |location=Madrid, Spain|publisher=Marca.com |date=2008-09-01 |language=Spanish |accessdate=2008-09-01 }}</ref> and the [[Brazilian national football team|Brazilian national team]].

==Biography==
Robinho was born in Parque Bitaru, a poor neighborhood of São Vicente in Santos, where he began playing football at an early age. When he was six years old, he was signed to the Beira-Mar, a local footballing academy; his team won the championship in his first year.<ref>[http://www.ofutebol.com/view.asp?ArticleId=9 Futebol | Alex Bellos Articles<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> One of his teammates at the time was [[Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior|Marcelo]], once Robinho's teammate at [[Real Madrid]]. In 1993, at the age of just nine, Robinho scored 73 goals for the Portuários [[futsal]] team. He later joined Santos' youth program, which at the time was overseen by Brazilian football legend [[Pelé]].

==Club career==
===Santos===
In 2002, at the age of eighteen, Robinho signed his first professional contract with [[Santos Futebol Clube|Santos]], making 24 appearances in his debut season and scoring nine goals as Santos won the 2002 [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Campeonato Brasileiro]]. He enjoyed his best attacking season in 2004. He reached the final of Libertadores Cup with Santos, but lost the final against Boca Juniors.

His form had brought him to the attention of many European clubs in the summer of 2004, but Robinho remained with Santos after the Brazilian club rejected all offers. However, his form suffered in the 2004-05 season after his mother, Marina da Silva Souza, was kidnapped by gunmen at her [[Praia Grande]] home on November 6, but she was released unharmed six weeks later after a ransom was paid.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/brazil/story/0,,1347504,00.html Footballer's plea for kidnapped mother]</ref> He managed only four goals in eight league games, but his value nonetheless continued to increase and at the end of the year, Santos were finding it increasingly difficult to hold on to their star player. Finally in July 2005 Spanish giants [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] signed Robinho by agreeing to pay 60 percent of the buyout clause in his contract belonging to Santos ([[Euro|€]]24 million). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1179493,prtpage-1.cms|title=Real add Robinho to their galaxy| accessdate=2008-01-28|publisher=Times of India}}</ref>

===Real Madrid===
{{expand|section|date=August 2008}}
<!-- DO NOT post any rumors, as Wikipedia is not a sports daily. Any such content will be promptly removed. -->
Robinho played his first [[La Liga]] game on [[August 28]], [[2005]] in a 2-1 win against [[Cádiz CF]], coming on as a 65th-minute replacement for [[Thomas Gravesen]]. He ended up making 37 appearances and scored eight goals in his first season.

At the start of the 2006-07 campaign, Robinho fell out of favour with new manager [[Fabio Capello]], and he spent much of the first few months of the season on the bench. Only after the winter break did Robinho find himself in the starting eleven.

Robinho was given permission by [[FIFA]] to skip a [[Copa América]] training session with England so he could take part in Madrid's season finale against [[RCD Mallorca|Mallorca]] on [[June 18]], [[2007]], which they won 3-1 and in the process claimed their thirtieth league title, which was also the third of Robinho's career. He contributed eleven goals and fourteen assists for Madrid in the 2007-08 La Liga season.

===Manchester City===

On [[September 1]], [[2008]], Robinho completed a move to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] for 42 million euro.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Real Madrid and Manchester City agree to terms on Robinho transfer |publisher=Realmadrid.com |date=2008-09-01 |url=http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/1202741576302/noticia/ComunicadoOficial/OFFICIAL_ANNOUNCEMENT_2008-09-02.htm |language=English |accessdate=2008-09-01 |quote= }}</ref>

== National team==
[[Image:Robinho061115.jpg|thumb|right|Robinho playing against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]]]]
Robinho earned his first cap for Brazil in the [[2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] match on [[July 13]], which Brazil lost 1-0 to [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]].

He played in four of Brazil's five [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] matches as a reserve, going scoreless. However, he was in top form in the [[2007 Copa América‎]] a year later. For the tournament, he wore the number 11 jersey, the same number his childhood hero [[Romario]] wore. Robinho scored all four of Brazil's group stage goals via a [[hat trick]] in Brazil's 3-0 group stage match against [[Chile national football team|Chile]], and a penalty in a 1-0 win over [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]]. His last two goals came in a 6-1 quarterfinal thrashing of Chile. Brazil took home the trophy, and Robinho reaped the individual honors, finishing as the Golden Boot winner in addition to being named the best player of the tournament. Robinho has one cap as captain and that was a friendly against [[Algeria National Football Team|Algeria]], due to the absence of [[Lucimar Ferreira da Silva|Lúcio]] and [[Gilberto Silva]].

On [[October 18]], [[2007]] Robinho and [[Ronaldinho]] were at the center of a controversy when they were both benched for the upcoming weekend by their league clubs after they had missed their flights from Brazil back to Spain. Reports by Brazilian newspaper ''[[O Globo]]'' described both players partying with other teammates into the early morning hours at popular [[Rio de Janeiro]] nightclub Catwalk, as a celebration of Brazil's 5-0 win over Ecuador the day before. The report alleged that Robinho was seen dancing with women and that he had asked a security guard for 40 condoms before leaving the nightclub at 5 a.m. He denied the allegations, adding that he was planning to marry his girlfriend, pregnant with their first child, in early 2008. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/10/21/sports/19234220&sec=sports | title=Ronaldinho and Robinho dropped by their Primera Liga teams | accessdate=2007-12-21 | publisher=Malaysian Star}}</ref>
