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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I still have a autograph'd Adriano - Inter shirt at home

He spoke nothing but facts here

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

He is an honest soul. God bless the Emperor.

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

Bro Adriano was so freaking cool dude I swear the way he played and took shoots were magical

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." ☯️

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

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

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

He understood what happiness is, only someone who don't attached to worldly desires truly can achieved that

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.

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

The best striker in the WORLD ! ADRIANO ❤️

An absolute beast of a forward

This vid make me respect Adriano even more!

Seeing him it reminds me of those days when I first started watching football on TV nd that too one of my favourite team Brazil The Samba boys including players like Ronaldo9, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cicinho, Juninho, Pato, Robinho, Lucio, Cafu, Maicon, Roberto Carlos, Gilberto, Renato, Julio Baptista, Luisao, Ze Roberto, Juan, Fred, Dida, Julio Caesar nd some others too for sure!! Absolutely amazing and wonderful bunch of players to watch them play on the field!! ⚽💯👍😍💞🤘

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

Man this guy Adriano was an absolute beast at his time!Simply amazing.... Skills, Power, Balance, Resilient, Control, etc. I remember the PES 2007-2008 game just Unstoppable at Inter on the field with him!! ⚽👍💪💯

There’s only one Emperor in world football and it will be known as Adriano ❤️

In terms of unfulfilled potential. He's the biggest in my lifetime. Yes he had a great short spell with Inter but it could have been so much more. Amazing Player.

The guy's long range efforts were sublime

Very good video and honest words! People should get in his shoes a bit more! His life wasn’t easy! I’m glad to see him this happy from the bottom of my heart!

Grande Adriano. Una gioia vederti giocare una gioia vederti felice oggi.

my favourite player of all times. just marvaellous.

Me pone feliz ver que Adriano ahora parece física y emocionalmente recuperado en comparación a los primeros 2 años de haberse marchado de Italia. Yo fui uno de las personas que al principio juzgó "por qué Adriano se dejó llevar por la melancolía, tristeza y empezar a vivir mal". Sin embargo, perder a un padre no es fácil y es algo le cambia la vida a mucha gente. Él eligió volver a Brasil, buscar su propia felicidad y rehacer su vida así que eso es lo más importante en este momento. Él es feliz y se siente una persona realizada. En cuanto al fútbol se refiere (tengo 36 años) puedo decir que Adriano jugó a un nivel increíble hasta el último día que estuvo en el Inter de Milán. Era muy difícil ver a un jugador tan alto, rápido , ágil y con esa demostración de fuerza que imponía en el campo, lo hacía un jugador capaz de pasar a cualquier defensa. Disfruté muchísimo viéndole jugar y me alegra muchísimo verle feliz.

He will be a legend in Winning eleven 10 2006-2007. My favorite team "Inter Milan"

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

Maybe my favorite player ever. Adriano you are always in the heart of every Nerazzurri fan! We love your heart full of emotion. Thank you for everything!

It will take some time to witness a beast like Adi again ✌️

Much respect.

Either way he lived a perfect life. He has been among most talented players and he was one of them. If I watch his interviews in 2022 and it makes him a legend. No matter how people complain about how short term he performed in football or how a big belly he had. At least his belly witnessed to R9.

He is very passionate

He was one of the best strikers and powerful players I have ever witnessed.been threw his breakdown after his dad passed,I wish him all the best in the future,I hope he gets into coaching or some sort of football teaching to keep him grounded.what a player

👍🇺🇸 I ❤️🇧🇷⚽️since 1994. Adriano was one of those top class explosive footballers

He is a real Boss

It's amazing how Adriano is still spoken about today even today. Shows what a impact he had

One of the most underrated strikers of all time

What a talent. Milan legend. Pes legend.

We love you .. your fans from 🇸🇦

Damn man... to imagine Adriano - Ronaldo up front with Ronaldinho as a trequartista, Kaká to his left, Juninho to his right, and Casemiro to shield the CBs...

My favorite player growing up 🤞🏾 forever legendary.

LEGEND

He was perfection. Another gem from Brazil. At the 2005 confederations he was awsome alongside Ronaldinho n Robinho... it was a dream attack seeing them starting together. At the 2006wc i expected him to b the main striker for Brazil but Ronaldo stuck around n Adriano was dropped to the bench. Dropping Adriano n Robinho was the end for Brazil .... they provided soo much power in attack n Brazil had no chance... even with Ronaldo9 n Dinho the team needed Adriano n Robinho...and that is how Adriano missed the chance to win the 2006wc. Kaka n Juninho should have been the one to be dropped to the bench n make way for Adriano and Robinho to play alongside Dinho and Ronaldo. Scolari wanted to bring him to Chelsea but he opted to remain at Intermilan. I believe Scolari would have helped him get over the mourning period that affected Adriano... he needed a father figure to help him snap out of the death of his dad and who better than Scolari... sadly that is how he missed the chance to win the UCL. If he had joined Chelsea the team would have been stronger in attack. He seems to also have problems accepting his new reality of being successful n nolonger living in the Favela.... that too would have been solved by Scolari He mentions about Family🤣🤣 but they will not like u when you r broke.

Adriano will always be the imperatore. The real beast

Damn ! Used to watched highlights of Adriano when he was in Inter.. He was hard to stop on his day! Great player!

Adriano vi sua mãe falar de você. Lembra muito da minha mãe. Ela ti ama. Meu pai foi profissional e eu filho de joguei na portuguesa 2 anos. Você é um grande exemplo para o nosso Brasil. Continua ser feliz. A sua esquerda era uma bomba. Paz na terra querido. Moro no Canadá e gostaria de te conhecer um dia. Ame sua mãe e família. Tudo certo Didico. Abraço e Deus te abençoe.❤

O imperador e o fenomeno 🔥🔥🔥

Long time ago brazil got a undisputed team ..ronaldo ,adriano ,kaka ,ronaldinho ,rivaldo and many more .miss those guys make a show

adriano the beast.. adri-ibra owned winning eleven in that year

True fans of football will always remember you as a legend of the beautiful game.

i love both adriano and r9 ronaldo

I thought he would became the next Ronaldo…but he quit…but even in this short time he played, he managed to became a legend ❤️

Proud to say I had a Brazil shirt with Adriano on the back when I were a kid. He was ridiculous

Ti voglio bene Adri. Dopo Ronaldo Nazario da Lima sei stato il secondo giocatore che ho amato da bambino e conservo gelosamente la tua maglia Imperatore 🖤💙🐍

Great personality, honest guy🤝

Big Love from Indonesia, Adriano. God bless you.

One of the best players to ever Regret not seeing him play again. so sad !

Imagine Ronaldo & Adriano partnership on their prime and Ronaldinho as a trequartista behind them. Crazy.

I consider Adriano one of the greats, but we cannot gauge how great he was because of the short career he had because of issue.

I wish Im his collegue during that time so that I can advise him, anything bad happened to him, is part of his journey to success. Dont let those things make him down. And I believe his late father also proud of his glory and wants him to be successful.

i still have PES 2006 with this legend.😔

The last true striker no 9 for Brazil, he was given opportunity to lead Brazil (R9 was not included) in copa 2004 and Confederation cup 2005 and he won the best player and golden boot. And look at the current state of Brazil striker department, it is pathetic with the likes of Firmino and Gabriel Jesus.

Bro you was the one the best striker killer a beast..Wish you good luck ..

He made the right choice,be with his family and friends in Brazil or play football and be unhappy and depresed,smart humble guy and legend emperador

looks to be a real down to earth guy, gotta respect that.

My Top 3 Striker i don't care❤

Foi burro não...foi muito macho, foi é ser feliz! Nada pior q ser miserável

He didn’t hesitate when said Ronaldo. THE REAL RONALDO

He talks of Ronaldo... Ronaldo in an Inter shirt was one of the most extreme technique football players i have ever seen

i like that guy

Grande Adri sarai sempre nei cuori interisti AMALA

Très modeste

king of PES

Best player ever

Adriano Ronaldo ❤❤ siempre

He was the best. But family first respect!

I lost my mother at a young age, words don’t describe the feeling. Especially being younger.. as you get older, you learn about life more and more and often look back and have thoughts like “ she won’t be here to meet her grandchildren.. she won’t be here to see me married”.. I still have these thoughts, it’s hard man

Mental physical and spiritual is all tied the same in moments of high stress! U GOTTA TAKE UR TIME

This is why footballer play football because it is their happiness

Love ❤️ And peace ✌️ brother, god keep you happy.

legend

PES 6 Legends

Eventho im a Juve fan i respect this guy family is no. 1 ❤

People with these mentality are the most dangerous and unpredictable. That’s why he was so special. Everyone’s dream is to be a great this or that and he said that’s nothing. Family is everything.

Glad he is happy

everyone has to deal with parents leaving at some point, we deal with it and continue with our lives, if everyone escapes like him then the world would not be functioning

Just look at his eyes. The pain is real

Stay healthy my idol...

⚫🔵⚫🔵⚫

Aí que está muitos sonham em ter a oportunidade que ele teve,jovens garotos sonham em pelo menos chegar em um time profissional da série A pra dar melhor condição pras suas famílias...Adriano estava no auge cotado pra ser o sucessor do Ronaldo fenômeno..e simplesmente abandonou tudo pq não teve cabeça

Words of a wiseguy

This don was so good.

He would have been so much better than penaldo. He was a Ronaldo (r9 not penaldo) regen. Sad that he didn't overcome depression
