Adriano arrived at the 2006 World Cup with great expectations with a squad and a huge attack from Brazil such as “fat” Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Kaka. But people only see the shadow of “Emperor”. The player scored just 2 goals against Australia and Ghana but barely touched the ball in the defeat to France in the quarter-finals.
At that time, Adriano was only 24 years old, but he only had 12 more caps for Brazil and 156 times at club level. At that time, Adriano was only 24 years old, but he only had 12 more caps for the national team. Brazil and 156 times at club level.
In the 2006/07 season, Adriano scored only 6 goals for Inter and in the 2007/08 season, the situation did not improve. Inter president, Massimo Moratti, has favored his “baby” to the point of allowing him to return to Brazil to rest and regain his spirit. After that, Adriano was loaned to Sao Paolo again.
However, when his passion for football was extinguished, Adriano never found the light again. Not only that, his wild instincts exploded. In Sao Paolo, Adriano was repeatedly fined for being late to practice and swearing at photojournalists. That made this club return the striker born in 1982 earlier than planned.
There was only one moment that made people believe that the “Emperor” was spiritual when he scored 19 goals to help Flamengo win the Brazilian championship. That helped him return to the European dream when he was signed by AS Roma. But then, Adriano was unable to once again conquer the promised land. After 7 months (with 8 appearances), “Emperor” was pushed out of Rome without trumpet or drum.
Adriano’s time with Corinthians or Atlético Paranaense later brought only disappointment. No one can stand someone who likes to party more than football. He was pushed out of the club for a short time, before retiring in 2014.
The poor journey back to the slums of “emperor ADRIANO”
And like a journey full of emotions, from the poor boy in the slums, to the lavish days in Europe, and now Adriano has returned to the right place. it’s the Vila Cruzeiro slum.
A few years ago, people couldn’t help but feel sad when they saw the image of the “Emperor” living alone in the slums. A source close to Adriano revealed to the Daily Star (UK): “Rio is extremely expensive. Therefore, Adriano had to live hard in the slums of Vila Cruzeiro. Guns, drugs, criminal organizations are everywhere. It is estimated that every day about 24 children die in this slum.”
It is even suspected that Adriano has a relationship with a gangster. In 2014, this player was accused of transporting drugs but was later acquitted. Even when he was still playing, the striker was repeatedly caught with the notorious gangsters in Rio De Janiero.
At the age of 38 ADRIANO seems to have found himself again. He began to be happy with his young lover.
Despite his age, ADRIANO’s charm is still quite large, every pink shadow wants to surround him.
