Robinho uncut - the Brazilian wants to leave the Bernabeu
Brazilian football star Robinho has officially let loose.
"My mind is now at Chelsea," he said.
These are the comments that have started a conflict between Robinho, Real Madrid and their manager Bernd Schuster.
Robinho organised a six minute press conference to make his motives clear on where he stands at Madrid.
The Brazilian midfielder stated that he has been used as 'meat' for possible Madrid player targets, none more so than Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The current Madrid midfielder desperately wants a move to Chelsea.
"The situation has not changed. The negotiations are still going and I remain desperate to leave Madrid," he says.
"I want to play in Chelsea. I have told the president of the club and I have told the manager. I am now telling this to the press. My mind is at Chelsea."
Later, Robinho would take aim at Madrid coach Schuster.
"He is not my father, he is my coach. He is not going to force me to do anything. He is looking at his objectives and I am looking at mine," Robinho says.
"Until now, I have had no problems with him. The president and the directors of the club are letting me go.
"The club has no problems in me leaving but Schuster wants to recuperate me at the club. That's his problem. I want to leave Madrid."
Robinho finally showed his disappointment at the Spanish champions saying they have let him down after the Brazilian superstar was offered as bait in exchange for other big name signings.
"I am sad because months ago, my father and my representative intended on renovating my contract, but the club was after Ronaldo and they had no interest in re-signing me.
"Now that they could not get Ronaldo, they want me to stay? I have my pride as well."
