Real Madrid coach: Robinho better than Messi

Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo insists Robinho will turn out to be a better player than Barcelona whiz Lionel Messi.

"He (Messi) is a great player, but Robinho will be better. Messi has had more time in Spain and that should be noted. Time is necessary to adapt to the Liga," said Luxemburgo.

"I do not know why he's dropped off. We cannot reign in his qualities, we must give him freedom and simultaneously team responsibilities. Robinho is going to be the best player in the world. I do not have any doubt."
