Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane has welcomed new signing Robinho.

Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane has welcomed new signing Robinho and issued a warning to the rest of La Liga.

The brilliant Brazilian has completed his move from Santos and Zidane is looking forward to teaching the young master a few of his tricks.

"He is strong," said the France international. "He is even phenomenal.

"What he is achieving as a 21-year-old is impressive.

"When a team has players like him, it is not a problem to be too attacking.

"With Robinho, it will be better and better, and not for our adversaries, it will be worse and worse."

The Samba starlet's move to Madrid helped pave the way for Michael Owen's return to England with Newcastle United.
