“Now it is time to have audacity, joy and personality. Santos is going through a very good phase and the time has come to win the Libertadores,” Robinho said in an interview to the official website of Alvinegro Praiano.
He praised Santos style, believing that it will be their biggest strength against Penarol. “Santos always plays forward, they try to score all the time. And a team who plays like this has a better chance to win,” he said.
In 2003 Robinho was in the team that lost against Boca Juniors in the final. This time he will watch from the stands: “Unfortunately I missed my chance, but one day I’ll win the Libertadores with Santos, but on Wednesday I’ll be with the fans.”
