Robinho Focused On City

04 April 2009 09:09
Robinho insists he is totally committed to Manchester City - and has backed the club to win the UEFA Cup. The Brazilian's future has been the subject of much discussion since his shock move to Eastlands from Real Madrid in the final moments of the August transfer window. The striker has scored 12 goals this season but none this year and he also hit the headlines for the wrong reasons after leaving a training camp without permission and flying home to South America. Robinho told The Sun: "I know about rumours linking me with different teams but I am not pre-occupied by them. My head only has time for City and I want to be the star of this club. "I am totally convinced City can win the UEFA Cup. A title in my first season in England will be magnificent. "City are preparing an enormous project for next season and I am totally focused on this adventure. We could really be big in the table in a few months." Meanwhile, winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has revealed winning the UEFA Cup would mean more than any of the medals he picked up at Chelsea. The 27-year-old won a Premier League title, League Cup and FA Cup with the Londoners but struggled to hold down a regular place and returned to City last summer. Wright-Phillips told the Daily Express: "I said when I rejoined City that it was like coming home. This is the club where it all started for me so winning one thing here would mean as much as maybe three trophies down there. "I know how long it is since this club won something. It would be an overwhelming feeling to win a trophy that I'd have played a major part in." City travel to Hamburg in the first leg of their UEFA Cup quarter-final on Thursday.
