Appeared in a miserable state, the former Inter star makes a touching
Adriano

The legend of Brazilian football, Adriano, has broken his silence after appearing drunk and in a bad state in several videos on social networks.

Adriano was a famous player for Inter and Flamengo, who also played for Brazil, making 48 appearances for his national team.

He retired in 2016 at the age of 34, having won 14 titles in his career including four Serie A titles with Inter. However, despite his success, the former striker did not reach the heights many predicted when he burst onto the scene.

The former star battled alcoholism and depression during his time in Italy and has now claimed he is "football's biggest failure".

In an interview with The Players Tribune, Adriano said: “Do you know what it's like to be a pledge? I know. Including an unfulfilled promise. Biggest football loss: Me."

“I like that word, loss. Not just because of how it sounds, but because I'm obsessed with losing my life. I'm fine like this, in raging loss. I love this stigma. I don't take drugs, as they try to say. I am not criminalized, but, of course, I could have been. I don't like it," he said.

"I drink every day, yes. (And other days too.) How does a person like me get to the point where I drink almost every day?

I don't like to explain to others. But here is one. I drink because it is not easy to be a promise that remains in debt. And it gets even worse at my age," he continued.

Adriano's goalscoring record for Inter fell dramatically during the 2006-07 season and he played only a minor role the following season as he dealt with his own problems.

He was then loaned to Sao Paulo and spent most of his remaining days in his native Brazil.

Speaking about his time in Italy, he said: “I was overwhelmed. I got a bottle of vodka. I'm not exaggerating, bro. I drank all that crap by myself. I filled my ass with vodka. I cried all night. I passed out on the couch because I drank so much and cried. But that was it, wasn't it? What could I do? I was in Milan for a reason. It was what I had dreamed of all my life," he confessed.

"God had given me the opportunity to become a footballer in Europe. My family's life has improved a lot thanks to my Lord and all He has done for me. And my family did a lot too. This was a small price to pay, compared to what was happening and what was yet to happen. I had this clear in my head. But that didn't stop me from being sad," concluded Adriano.
