Real Madrid attacker Robinho insists he has no problem with coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo after he was ordered not to take their second penalty in the 1-0 win on Sunday against Real Zaragoza.
 
Robinho missed Real's first spotkick during the game and it needed the usual taker, Roberto Carlos, to settle the match after the hosts were awarded a second penalty. Both of which were won by Robinho.

"Both penalties were correct," said Robinho. "I would have liked to have taken the second of them, despite failing before, but it is important to have humility and to know that perhaps it was not the best moment for taking another one."

"It can be that the ideal thing was that Roberto Carlos took the second because when things are not well it is better to go that way."

"I know Luxa and I know of his experience, so I believe that the decision he made was the right one. I was not scared of taking the second."

"We are not playing well and we must improve. I am already thinking about beating Barça in the next round."
