The start of the season for Robinho Júnior at Santos has not been easy. With high expectations, the young player did not live up to them in the first matches of the year and lost playing time under coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, not being used in the derby against São Paulo this Saturday.
Furthermore, the arrival of Rony could make Robinho’s season even more difficult, as he competes for a spot with Barreal, Thaciano, Miguelito, and Rollheiser.

Robinho has faced a lot of criticism from fans for his recent poor performances, especially against Chapecoense and RB Bragantino. As a result, he faces additional pressure every time he steps onto the field for Santos.
In 2025, Robinho played 15 times for the professional team, with one assist but no goals scored. Santos returns to the field this Wednesday for the derby against São Paulo, at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the Brasileirão.
