Serie A - Adriano's alcohol admission
Internazionale striker Adriano has blamed alcohol for his poor form
last season and vowed to repay club president Massimo Moratti for
his faith.
Although Inter ran away with Serie A, the 25-year-old Brazilian had
a wretched season which included a number of niggling
injuries.
"After the death of my father and the break up with [girlfriend]
Daniela, I took refuge in alcohol," Adriano told La Gazzetta dello
Sport.
"I must say thank you to the president. It is beautiful to know
that he counts on me."
Adriano, who has lost his place in the Brazil side, will have a
tough job regaining his starting spot at Inter with new signing
David Suazo increasing the club's array of attacking
talent.
