Adriano explains why he left Inter Milan and went home to Brazil

“I think I am one of the most misunderstood footballers on the planet. People don’t really understand what happened to me. They have the story all wrong.”

Adriano in his own words.

[ramonnelson]

He lost his dad and lost his fight and love for football depression is a hell of a thing but I’m happy he is okay

[chilledllama]

He had a short career but did just enough to be considered a Legend and Emperor, not many can pull that off. 👏🏼

If you want to talk about someone who could of compared to R9's talent, this is the guy. He had it all for a striker, size, balance, pace, shot power, dribbling, and heading ability.

[BAvalon]

Damn he was soo good at Inter. L'imperatore Adriano, che bomber! The death of his father changes him forever. Even in this video you can see how much still hurt to him that. I really wish him the best, he's a good human.

[tarikmokafih]

Such a modest person, he is proud of playing alongside great players. I say those players should be proud to have played with Adriano

[nataliep]

I still have a autograph'd Adriano - Inter shirt at home <3
My favourite player of all time!
(I'm from Denmark)

[gabrielstanley]

One interesting thing is how fast he answered without second thought, Ronaldo R9 is the best ever player he ever saw.

Sarai sempre nel cuore di noi interisti ... nostro campione .... nostro imperatore ... ti auguro tutta la felicita di questo mondo ...!

[lellosbarello]

Sarai per sempre il nostro imperatore Adri. Buona vita 🖤💙🇧🇷

Adriano admiring you as a player was easy, you are the Emperatore, but we'll never stop admiring how humble and authentic you are as a human

One of the saddest stories in football.. Adriano on Pro Evo was just god 😔

[DavidLucian]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Adriano: "I mean I played with great champions. I played with players that already were 'WOW', I played with players that I saw were a talent and then became 'WOW', but the one I felt could do it longer, and he didn't do it, was Adriano when I was at Inter. When I came to Inter, the first thing I said to the president was, I demanded him to stay because he was the player I wanted to play with. Because, the way he was, he was an animal. He could shoot from every angle, nobody could tackle him, nobody could take the ball, he was a pure animal. But it lasted for a short time... I don't know why, like I said, 50% of everything you do is the mental part. If you don't have it in your head, it's difficult. In his case, I enjoyed playing with him, playing against him, but it's a shame that it lasted such a short time." ☯️

Man nothing but respect he could easily used Massimo Moratti who was known for his loyalty and love to his players and milking million for another 5 years contract
But he decided not to, what a stand up man
And what great player he was

[thdawg]

Glad to see him happy at least. Football is not life. At least he made choices that he doesn't regret till this day. I could listen to more of his storys all day long. Even though his career was short, he appreciates alot. Top bloke.

[Amazinghacks]

Was so so so talented. Unbelievable player. My PES 2006 striker in all of my teams.

[roshanthomas]

He is an honest soul. God bless the Emperor.

[capitalt]

It's difficult. Grief got the better of him, and who knows the other issues that came up. Copa 2004 and Confederations 2005....Adriano was godly

[jonhattanaguilar]

Im glad to see him doing so good, and most importantly, happy. God Bless

[Clue]

Wow, really gave it all up because of the pain, In search of peace. So deep. God bless

[sentiasatransformasi]

the power of adriano's left foot can never be matched by anyone in this era
