It has two years since Brazilian sensation Robinho left Manchester City for greener pastures, and now at AC Milan, he looks to beat an attacking Arsenal side tonight, when the two European giants clash in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout stage.

The 28-year old said, “Our first objective is to keep them to zero in Milan,

If that happens then we increase our chances of making the next round because we will be able to score in London.

People have also spoken about the problems in the Arsenal defence, and if that is right we will need to exploit this factor, but when you’re in a match every player normally comes up with his best.

But Arsenal does not practice the habitual English game, because they are actually very open.

They have swiftness in attack with somebody like Walcott, but football is not about a quality of an individual, the best team is always from working together.

But they are not the same side and have lost the power without Cesc Fabregas, Nasri and Wilshere – although they have improved in the last few months, and they seem to now attack without fear.

Normally I would say goals would be key, but I think the best defence will be the key for who moves through.”

Some interesting words by the former Santos youth player, who has publicly taken to the Gunners defence. Let the mind games begin !
