"Robinho has the ingredients to be one of the best players in the world," he said. "He has personality, he is in the Brazil national team and now is at Real Madrid, but when Denilson came here he was in almost the same situation as many thought he could become the best player in the world."

Denilson, touted as one of the country's most talented players when he joined Real Betis for a world-record $35 million in 1998, sank without trace in Spain and has recently been loaned out to French side Bordeaux in an attempt to resurrect his career.

"Robinho's advantage is that he has a Brazilian coach in Luxemburgo," said Belletti. "He knows him and he coached him before and the fact that he will play alongside people he knows like Ronaldo will also help him a lot."
