In 1997, at 12 years of age, Robinho was picked by Brazil legend [[Pelé]] as his heir apparent<ref>[http://www.robinhoofficial.com/pt/artigos.asp?AjrDcmntId=638 Robinho Official football website] {{in lang|pt}}</ref> and, in 2002, went on to lead [[Santos FC|Santos]] to their first [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Campeonato Brasileiro]] title since Pelé himself played for the club.<ref>[http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ultimas/2008/11/05/ult59u176713.jhtm Pelé pede validação de títulos nacionais do Santos nos anos 60] UOL Esporte {{in lang|pt}}</ref> Afterwards he went on to win a second title with Santos, two more with Spanish club [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], and the Italian [[Serie A]] title in his first season at Milan. At international level, Robinho has won one [[Copa América]] title and two [[FIFA Confederations Cup]]s with the Brazil national team, and played at two [[FIFA World Cup]]s.
