Manchester City forward Robinho has suggested that he can become the best player in the world while on the books at Eastlands because of the amount of playing time he is afforded.
The Brazilian international has revealed that, although he is grateful to former club Real Madrid for elevating his status in world football, he feels that a limited number of appearances in los Blancos' first team hindered his chances of becoming the globe's best footballer.
"Playing at Real Madrid gave me a lot of visibility and I'm grateful that I had the chance to play there," Robinho is quoted as saying in The Telegraph.
"But I knew that in that squad, I wasn't going to achieve my goal of being the best player in the world. That's why I decided to leave.
"I had the ability and the skill to be in the first team, but I didn't always play. I was only in the team off and on.
"But at Manchester City, I play every match and I've already scored 11 goals - the second highest in the league."
Despite currently being the Premier League's second top-scorer, the 25-year-old has been levelled his fair share of criticism this season, particularly for his performances away from home.
