RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazilian forward
Robinho visited his new Santos team mates before their 2-0 win
over Oeste that took them top of the Paulista championship.
Robinho arrived in Brazil on Saturday to begin a six-month
loan spell with Santos from English Premier League side
Manchester City.
"Amid a climate of much happiness and relaxation, the star
Robinho made a surprise visit to the King Pele Training Centre
this Saturday afternoon," Santos said on their website.
The 26-year-old asked City for the loan move in a bid to
improve his chances of making Brazil's 2010 World Cup squad
after struggling in England.
Robinho's official presentation at the club where he
started his career, and with whom he won the Brazilian
championship in 2002 and 2004 before joining Real Madrid, will
be on Monday.
Neymar scored one goal and laid on the other in the 2-0 win
in the Paulista (Sao Paulo state) championship match.
