Robson de Souza was born on January 25, 1984 in the municipality of Sao Vicente, on Sao Paulo, Brazil.
That today Robinho is an undisputed starter in two of the most powerful teams in world football is practically a coincidence.
From the age of five Robinho played in indoor soccer teams, where the pitches are much smaller and faster than in eleven soccer.
His first team was the Beira de Mar, from where it happened to Saints, also in indoor soccer.
One day by pure chance one of the field assistants of the Santos starting team saw a 9-year-old boy score more than 7 goals in a single game and decided to try his luck.
In that same tournament, Robinho had already scored 76 goals, so when he turned 16 he was transferred to major league football.
The March 24, 2002 made his great debut on the grass courts, triumphing over Guaraní by 2 to 0.
That same year his team reached the Brazil Championship and he continued well in the following tournaments thanks to Robinho’s incredible ball handling.
In the 2004 Santos won the Brazilian Championship again and he himself was named as the Player of the Year.
Unfortunately, the insecurity of the moment caused his mother to be kidnapped for more than 40 days, which forced Robinho to emigrate as soon as possible to feel safe.
Luckily for him, the Real Madrid he already had his chips on the pass and at the beginning of the 2005 bought the whole of it.
That same year he was chosen to form the national team of Brazil which subsequently won the Confederations Cup.
Together with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Dida, Roberto Carlos and other greats of Brazilian football, he became the favorite and starter of the World Cup Germany 2006.
At the moment it is still part of the Real Madrid and he is one of the most beloved Brazilian players on the Iberian Peninsula.
