*Only legends remember Adriano in PES 2006 99 Shot Power*

He's was truly a phenomenal machine but the death of his dad broke him and the pressure of football during his grief destroyed his career. You know why? Because he wasn't a machine he was a young human.

From his own mouth he is living his life in happiness back in his community with his family and lifelong friends. He lost his joy in the game when his father passed. He missed the true happiness that he had as a kid and longed for it. He gave it all up to get it back. Kudos to him for that they're aren't many people who've had the world at their feet who've had the guts to do that

Ibrahimovic praised him... That's how good he was.

Another example of how losing a loved one can either make you or break you. Hope things work out for him soon.

Adriano is the perfect example of a what if. The dude was a machine and I still try to scout a youth player in every Fifa who fits his play style perfectly. He’s easily one of my favorite players ever.

This story of ( to me ) definitely 1 of the greats broke my heart hearing you tell it, this man absolutely loved his father , he was he’s hero and more and I can totally relate . The exact thing happened to me when I lost my father , for 3 years that broke me , the pain was unreal , I’m just starting to heal now , sometimes, a love that powerful, being taken away from you is just to hard to get over , I loved watching this guy play , he was phenomenal, that left foot had a power like no other , I really hope that he’s ok in his life and I pray that he finds peace in due time , God bless you Adriano and thank you for sharing your special gift with the world 🙏🏽❤️👌🏽🌟💪🏽

He was majestic. It really hurts that he never reached his full potentials

One important point about the spell in São Paulo Libertadores match against Fluminense was how Thiago Silva was able to mark him, always keeping up and anticipating his moves while being injured. Adriano was still a monster and absurdly dominant at this point, I remember him against my team in which the it looked like an adult playing against kids, yet an injured young defender, which never was phisically imposing, such as Thiago Silva was able to keep up with him. To me, going against a great striker while injured is one of the greatest marks of generational talent as a defender, I remember being in awe when I watched the 94' WC finals in which Baresi was able to storm the weather against Romário and Bebeto, one of the brazilian greatest duos while at every stoppage his teammates were checking on him and helping him stretch, seeing Thiago Silva doing something similar was the day I saw that Thiago Silva would be great.

As a person with depression myself, this touched me.

Adriano was such a good player,loved him on Pro Evo,99 shot power!!

Am happy to have witnessed Adriano... Such a great player he is

Just Happy, that I saw him in his Prime! Incredible Player! No one who saw him in this time, will ever forget him! THX for this vid!!!

the impact of his father's death is probably the same impact Mike Tyson had when His adopt father died

Such a shame...so much talent, shooting power, physical strength, skill, and flair, creativity, plus a good amount of pace, and he scored many incredible goals and really had an eye for finding the back of the net and a penchant for the spectacular. He had done a lot for Brazil and Inter domestically already at a young age and had so much potential...I still wonder what he could've accomplished had he not fallen apart following the tragic loss of his father.

He was a brute yet fast with good ball control and omg his shots were so deadly so powerful, when I was young he was one of my favourite players.

As a romanian who grew up watching Hagi and then Mutu and seeing how Mutu's career went down at the end of the Chelsea episode i really felt the sadness from this video......Mutu also had a "mentor" during his career from which he had a lot to learn ( Hagi) but couldn't believe how opposite they were......just like Adriana & Ronaldo........but stil, thanks to them, now I have beautiful and tense memories

You have a great way of commentating. I didn't know that Brazil won the 2004 Copa America, so your retelling of that finals game was thrilling. Hooray!

The moment that ruined Adriano's career was when his father died. He entered in a deep depression since then...

He was a brilliant striker on his day, skill, speed, power, strength, Adriano

keep up the good work on these videos i know you put a lot of time into them

Great video bro 👍. This is so informative and entertaining.

Love your videos The King 👑 is back

Moving video and a tragic story i wish this man all the best! You're channel is incredible and you deserve more credit for making these videos, i like the details you include like the players childhood,overall background and mentality . My suggestion would be a video about Klose if you want to make it some day that is.He didn't hit the peak Adriano couldn't maintain or produced numbers like Owen,Shevchenko and Torres in their prime but from his first season at Werder Bremen until his second season with Bayern those five seasons were exceptional and underrated in my opinion and he even was decent and reliable when starting his career and towards the end of it.This is a striker with 330goals for Homburg,Kaiserslautern,Bremen,Bayern,Lazio and Germany more than Torres for his clubs and country, not saying that this makes him better than Torres and as a Chelsea fan i love Torres but to show just how long he maintained a minimum level which is hard to grade

Adriano was almost as fast, had almost the clinical finishing and dribbling of Ronaldo Nazario, but he also had an out of this world strength, he could have achieve what Ronaldo never could in club level.

I respect you for not ranking him, same thought came into my mind when I read the title.

U gained a subscriber good job keep it up 👏

Another great video 👌🏼. Please do a video about garrincha

Love this. Thanks m8 for this always did wonder what he got up too

Love these videos bro

I hope he finds peace with himself and the strength inside move on out of the dark. Forget football I pray he will be ok 🙏🙏

Your content is amazing bro 💪

Wonderful video bro-thanks so much for helping me learn about my countryman I have lived in USA since 5

Your videos show that you really love football, and I really appreciate that. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, well done for all the right reasons!

immense power and strength...a hybrid of a tank and a Ferrari

He was the perfect successor of Romario and Ronaldo Nazario R9 Fenomeno. But his father's sudden death, everything changed which ruined his life and career both.

I thought of it and l think that many great players who were losing their form had several hard times which made them weak physically and mentally on the pitch, but whatsoever the still be one of the greatest 💖

Please do a video about Mutu . Congrats for the great videos. And hello from Romania !

bro. not even exaggeration but i literally searched adriano doc etc on google and youtube and ish this past week because i really like this guy and how he played and now you drop this bomb. im going to enjoy this. thank you. this guy, adriano is a perfect example of what COULD'VE been. he had everything bro. like hell, dude dribbled like prime r9, strong like juventus zlatan (even stronger i'd say), had pace to burn, power better than that of roberto carlos's. its such a shame how it all turned out for him. family really is so important. i sometimes go watch his highlights and this dude doesn't even seem like he's trying to shoot, he's shooting like he's shooting at a wall and the ball is gunna come back bro lol, so much power and with a brain and game iq. i really hope if theres another dimension, this guy is the goat and his father is still with him bro. thanks for this video!

The passing of his father really really sunk him into a deep deep hole!

Brilliant work thankyou.

Great player. He was on the U20 team that lost to my Ghana team in the final and am glad to have watched him play with that deadly left foot

Really love your videos, recently discovered them and have been binge watching every single one. Would really love it if you could make one on Steven Gerrard. Keep up the great work btw :)

Let’s go love the videos!

This channel deserves more subscribers

the strongest left leg of all times besides Roberto Carlos

Imagine if he had reach his full potential so sad

Adriano will forever be our emperor no matter what! :-)

Guys I say it if Adriano reached his full potential lewandowski and ronaldo would never top him even zlatan said he was an animal

Happy you got the sponsor, make sure that they're paying you good

this was so sad just imagine if adriano was not depressed and kept on form when his father passed

As a teenager I adored Adriano. I loved him to bits. Leite Adriano!!!!!!

*Just how GOOD was Zinédine Zidane Actually? Like for him to see it.*

Geez this guy is amazing 😦😮😯😲 Condolences to his Father also🕊️....lost mines recently...It really throws you off.☝️😔

Your videos are really class👌🏼 don’t stop🙏🏼

I remember his from years ago, him and Shevchenko were the 2 best in the world at the time

well at least Adriano is Still Alive. I hope he is somewhere in the world enjoying peace

I remember seeing him in fifa 06 he had a 94 overall along Ronaldo and Ronaldinho

It's actually a great story. Who else on earth can say that on his way to having a solid career in mafia was also for a while the best striker in the world as a side job?

This video was great, do a video on Adrian Mutu too.

I remember having Adriano and Zlatan as forwards at Inter... Played PES a lot that year

If there ever was a way for a football do over, so many of us would hope for something so much better for Adriano.

one of the biggest what ifs in football history

I remembered him back in 1997 during Under 17 World Cup finals Brazil vs Ghana. They beat Ghana 2-1 to win World Cup 🏆 but lost Under 20 World Cup to Ghana in their matches. Good memories and rivals

For you my guy i put a like. You're videos are good. Adriano cud have been one of the best. Yet another example of the Brazilian standard for talent. Im no Brazilian. I root against them. But dam bro. They had some crazy players then. Like crazy crazy. Its a sad story. Fathers are important. I respect that you recognize real talent. Which Mr. Adriano embodied. He will be missed in the game. Imagine if Mr. Neymar for real for real though had a talent like Adriano on Brazil? Like half the talent? Mr. Vinicious doing his thing. But other than that and Mr. Neymar they looking light.

Adriano was a legend. The mirror of the R9.

Are you from Portugal? Congrats on the content!

Was one of my favorite players when I was growing up

Nice channel,subbed!

My man put Denilson highlights at one point lol Other than that, great video

It’s not a downfall. He just became who he really is.

Adriano a very complete striker but for me the problem was when he decided to stay at Intermilan even when Scolari wanted to bring him to Chelsea. Adriano needed a fresh start, a new adventure and Scolari would have guided him well. His power, skill and linkup with his teammates would have been awsome to witness at Chelsea.

He was a wonderful striker I miss him

Very interesting video, he was an amazing striker.

amazing video

Thanks again

Man adriano was a beast!!!!

Dude was a beast

Adriano é um excelente ser humano, infelizmente não aguentou perder o pai, que era tudo pra ele

Could u do a video on roy keane eventually? He is my favourite player as I'm Irish and a man united fan, thanks for the great content

Class video

I remember Adriano, he was a fantastic player, dissappear early

Very nice video... why "the northern lights" from 11:41 though? 🤷🏽‍♂️

In few interviews, Adriano said that since his father passing, he isn’t the same guy and his motivation in football completely ended and he became alcoholic.

I clicked the buttons ma man!

One of my all time favorite players

Can we plz get a “Just how good was Diego Forlan”?

Muito bom. O amigo pretende fazer um sobre o Pelé?

one of my favorite players to watch when i was a kid

Looking for the Diego Forlan. 2010 world cup some of hits goals from outside the box were insane. I was a huge Uruguay fan just from watching him play that year. He was on another level from everyone else.

The tragic story of football.

bom video parabens

I think you should say age because age is important in football career. It say if a player is really done. Like how old was he when he moved to Brazil.

Bro do a video on rummenigge or Diego forlan. Forlan is damn underrated. People forgot him and his jabulani

Mental health is underplayed as a factor to many men's downfall

Could you please do one on Steven Gerrard

In his prime his fifa card would have been scary, with a shot power of 96 and a physique of 95

Much respect Adriano.

As a brazilian who lives in Rio, Adriano is quite a figure here, loved by most, not comprehended by many, however, he is living well, has many properties throughout the city, but loves the place he comes from, the favela
