If anyone has kept a watch on Brazilian football lately. The next Phenomenon has arrived "Robinho". He has already been labelled the next Pele, some say Garrincha cause the way he bullies defenders into making them look stoopid when he dribbles, he plays for Pele team of santos, he has the same build,height and looks as pele did when at same age. Pele himself had even said "he is a genius, and when i watch him play, he reminds me of myself". If you watched the final leg of the brazilian 2002 championship he single handly won the game for santos. The 1st was he feinted 8 times(Double scissors) over the ball in one move to sucker the defender into fouling him in the penalty. The next 2 drawing defender and then assisting his teamates to easy goals. Defenders have even threatened him, that he will end up with broken legs, if he keeps on making them look ordinary. Just recently Robinho was called up for his Debu for the Brazil National team for a friendly against Mexico replacing an injured Rivaldo. I just hope he keeps the Brazilian tradition and excites the world as many brazilians do and in my judging has so much potential to be the next Pele!
