The Brazilian could not get out of depression after his father’s death. Apparently, the former striker of the Brazilian national team could not cope with alcohol addiction.
Adriano Leite Ribeiro, former striker of the Brazilian national team and Inter Milan, was recently seen drunk on one of the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Although the legendary Brazilian football player disappeared from view for a while, a video published on November 1 confused the public once again.
In the video, Adriano, shoeless, holding a plastic cup and a cigarette, looked far from the image of a sports star who was once predicted to have a great career.
“When you know that Adriano fell into depression after the death of his father and never recovered, you feel uneasy when you see him like this, we are not all equally strong in the face of difficulties…” he writes. wrote the video on social networks.
The fall of the “Emperor”
The Brazilian footballer is remembered by football fans as one of the most talented players of his time, but his career was marred by personal problems and alcohol addiction.
Adriano’s career began to deteriorate sharply after the death of his father, which led to depression and alcoholism. He left Inter in 2009 by agreement of the parties, citing personal problems. It was reported that the athlete came to training drunk and the club had to make excuses to the press by explaining the player’s absence as “muscle injuries”.
Inter’s legendary defender Javier Zanetti wrote in his autobiography that Adriano was a father who cared for him, trained him and kept everything under control. However, when the football player’s father died, the athlete fell into a deep depression, which led him to drink regularly.
“After my father died, I fell into a depression that could only be overcome by drinking. I was only happy when I drank, so I drank non-stop. I drank everything I could get my hands on: wine, whiskey, beer. When I arrived, I did not sleep drunk during training so as not to be late for training, but I came to the base inappropriately.” “I came in this situation,” Adriano admitted.
After leaving Inter, his career went downhill: the football player changed six clubs, but could not stay in any of them. The Emperor’s last club was Miami United from the US fourth division; He spent only four months there and played only one match, after which he ended his football career.
