Yes, that photo best describes our thoughts on Adriano at present. So many questions! What has happened to the man in the last few months? And more importantly, why is he enjoying life on the Football Trainwreck path? If wanted to wear Red and Black stripes so badly, he was obviously playing for the wrong club in Milan!
Anyway, Adriano was officially unveiled by Flamengo yesterday and a party – likened to a 4-year-old’s birthday bash – was thrown to welcome him back. He also joins the likes of Fred and Ronaldo in returning to the Brazilian league.
“I always liked to laugh, to play, for fun. That was not happening in Italy. And as soon as I returned to Brazil, it did not take long for me to go back to being happy,” he said at the press conference. “I came to (the place) where I was created. I returned to Brazil to try to regain my happiness. I always wanted to return to Flamengo and there’s nothing better than being with those we like.”
“My grandmother is the one responsible for me being here today. She and my family. When I joined the club today, I felt like I was 7 again. It was the age I started playing here,” he added.
