Scolari spoke to Robinho and gave him strength."<br />It is believed Madrid are reluctant to let Robinho go until the Ronaldo saga reaches its conclusion, and the Brazilian himself has claimed to be happy in Madrid.<br />But Ribeiro revealed the Spanish champions' inclusion of Robinho in a proposed swap deal for Ronaldo could have caused permanent damage.<br />He said: "In the meeting (with Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen last week) I said that Robinho was at one of the best clubs in the world, he earns a good wage and today he's known worldwide because of Real.<br />"Madrid is one of the best cities in the world to live in. In other words he has it all.<br />"The only unpleasant thing is the club's assessment of his value, and he feels undervalued for having become a part of some trade deal."MELOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08339980916849003005noreply@blogger.com
