Brazil's Ronaldinho has backed his compatriot Robinho to be a huge success at Real Madrid.
Barcelona's flamboyant playmaker was full of praise for Real's summer signing as the pair prepare to team up for the national side against Sevilla in the Spanish team's centenary match on Wednesday.
Robinho made an impressive debut after coming on as a substitute in Real's opening day win at Cadiz and Ronaldinho is fully aware of the player's potential.
"He has everything," the former Paris Saint Germain ace said. "His potential is huge and he is showing why.
"He will become one of the best players in the world.
"I think he will adapt to the Spanish league quickly, which is one of the best leagues in the world if not the best."
Ronaldinho also warned Robinho that sides in La Liga may seek to counter the 21-year-old's brilliance with a robust approach, however the former Santos player insists that he is already well versed in such tactics.
"There are hard players in the Spanish league but there are some in Brazil too," Robinho said. "I know that it will be difficult because Madrid and Brazil are great teams."
