Robinho: No Brazilian clique at Real Madrid

Real Madrid attacking ace Robinho insists he is "calm" over the indifferent start to his European career.
 
The Brazil international has been dropped to the bench after dazzling on debut against Cadiz, but told AS: "I am calm. When you play well you are talked about positively and when you don't, you're spoken about badly. I work with humility and seriousness to help Madrid.

"All players want to play, for Madrid and for any team in the world. When I begin to play well again, I hope to be in the starting line-up."

Robinho also denied stories of a divide between Real's Brazilians and the rest of the squad.

"In Europe there is a different culture. In Brazil the celebrations are different, but the group is very united. There are no cliques of Brazilians nor of Spaniards. Here we win and we lose together."
