''We have sold to the City by Robinho humane reasons''

Robinho did not play from next week at Chelsea; will do in Manchester City. In an unexpected twist for an evening of remembrance in the history of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon accepted the offer 'in extremis' City, which paid 40 million euros. The exclusive announced himself president in VEO TV.

"I'm the head at Chelsea," said Robinho had in his incendiary press conference on Sunday. Hours later, his wish was nothing. Half failure, half revenge. The club tried to blank until the last moment of the evening-midnight in the market was closed-the signing of David Villa, which came to offer up to 60 million. Vincent Soriano, the highest representative of Valencia refused outright to the impossibility of being able to react to the hiring of a big striker.

The bad news was that for Robinho stayed at Real Madrid; good was that its representative was still moving so desperate. Robinho and Real Madrid march was not found time to a strengthening of the social power sufficient to counteract the motion of a footballer who, misguided or not, still has a five-star label. He was not helped, of course, their attacks to the club on the morning of Sunday, but even with that ido would have been if Chelsea had been a little more persuasive and Ramon Calderon had given the euro's crazy enough to last minute.

The president of the club white explained before TV cameras VEO's decision to hand over Robinho. "The only thing that has all the information myself," said so outright, a clear defensive tactics before the bombing that had just let go. "Following indications from Pedja Mijatovic and Miguel Angel Portugal [those responsible for the direction sports], Robinho progress is due to reasons of human nature. His transfer has been a significant figure, the fourth largest in history. Robinho has a morale problem more important than we thought. Every time I talked about this issue with him crying ", tried to explain.

Since morning, Real Madrid was aware that Roman Abramovich would not stretch to 40 million, so we sent unambiguous signals that the afternoon could be quiet. At one point in the distant Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, Bernd Schuster insisted that his club not only keep Robinho in the template, but you notice as a forward. And this is one of the keys to what can happen from now on. It has been said, by the way, over the summer, that the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo would have been so steadfast linked to the departure of Robinho. But Schuster shouted in silence: he wanted to Ronaldo, of course, but not at the expense of losing another striker. The cuitas after the German defeat at the Riazor are therefore higher than at the beginning of the preseason. Now you have a player less.

Deepenings in the march of Brazilian, Calderon said having spoken with his technician before settling the situation: "I talked with him yesterday [on Sunday] and tells me the same thing he said when the match ended in Riazor, which looked at bench and had no front. And I said that I would try to make an effort on the market in winter, but we must move to 'desfichar'. "

Calderon tried to cool the matter regarding a possible friction between the coach and the club's direction: "The coach is very confident in his squad. If we analyze line by line, we have a comprehensive plan and I am convinced that we will give great joy to our fans. Last year we were the team more scorer, the least goals. All teams lose. "

Naturally, the month of December, as happened two years ago, the Real Madrid to build on what might move in line with how the team is in the league and in Europe. Not all the dome of Real Madrid was unanimous to sell Robinho, who has two seasons remaining contract. The next summer, its value has been halved. Now there must listen to Schuster, especially in private because German had a rebound of impressive dimensions. Calderon spoke with him at night before signing the operation and promised that the market would make a great effort winter.

With regard to negotiations throughout the night for the hiring of David Villa, Calderon was rather disjointed: "What has happened today [on Monday] is that different people have called for the club to make an offer. Already at that time I was told about a figure, but Real Madrid did not agree. Madrid said no to an offer that seemed overstated. It is clear that Villa wanted to come. The same thing happened with Cazorla. I do not want to give the impression someone that Real Madrid has acted badly. I do not want, and I told the president of Villarreal. "
