When Ronaldo il Fenomeno left Inter I was almost done with football. And then he came along, Adriano l'Imperatore...

[@resenhasdoflow7868]

Players are humans. journalists and some people seem to forget that. Also Adriano got addicted to alcohol after his father’s death. He was at the best moment of his career he was the emperor in Italy he was a millionaire, but he did not spend the last part of his fathers life with him. And that killed him on the inside. All the money on the world could not bring his father’s life back. Also he did not have family members in Italy with him. His mother had younger kids to take care in Brazil. He experienced real solitude. Adriano’s downfall is a mark in the history of Brazilian football, and I will explain why. after what happened to Adriano, Brazilian players noticed the major importance into moving to foreign countries with family members or/and a few childhood friends to live with. Pay for them to study abroad, and just have real friends around. But his story didn’t end there. He comes back to Brazil, and still an alcoholic he wins the Brazilian league with his childhood team, being the top goal scorer of the league, the team that happens to have the biggest fan base in Brazil that happens to have been 17 years without winning the league. I was 17 in 2009. I was born the year we had last won 1992. He was the top goal scorer. So he rose again ! And now who follows him on Instagram notices that although he still clearly has alcohol problems, everyone clearly notices this guy is ALL heart. You go on his Instagram and people that are not Flamengo nor inter, always say “I love you didico, your humility is incredible” Didico is now his nickname, it’s a “cute” nickname for a guy with 100% heart He fell, he rose again, he still struggles. He is human he is the emperor He is didico.

[@Pitufo1987]

What a great interview. Adriano speaks with such honesty and passion, it's heartwarming. He's often talked about as a footballer who wasted his talent, but one can clearly see here that it's complete bollocks. Yes, he could have achieved more, but footballers are not machines, they're human beings, they have a personal life of their own, they have problems, and he talks about his here with great transparency. After hearing him out, one can clearly see that he did his best all the way, and can have no regrets about his career. He has an interesting story and I'm curious to see the documentary and read the book. Was not familiar with the Player's Tribune before but I will check out other videos for sure.

[@JPindanga]

Flamengo, Corinthians & Palmeiras represents (Santos e São Paulo also relevant, obviously) the roots of Brazilian football. The way he talls about his passion and love for Flamengo is marvelous. Football is a religion to us Brazilians. Clubs who were founded by immigrants and poor people. A hundred years after still brings emotions to all of us

He was the closest thing I have seen to R9 with his speed, technique, power, he could have probably reached that level had life not gotten the best of him

[@DavidLucian]

Zlatan Ibrahimović on Adriano: "I mean I played with great champions. I played with players that already were 'WOW', I played with players that I saw were a talent and then became 'WOW', but the one I felt could do it longer, and he didn't do it, was Adriano at Inter... "He was one of the best players I ever played with. He was a different animal. Nobody could stop him.”

[@williamwallace4080]

Made me tear up. He was my first idol. Unfortunately, I'm going through something similar. Not at his level of course and it's related to education, not football. Used to be very studious and the top of my class but then I became lazy. I then lost 3 grandparents in just a year and that was the final nail in the coffin. I'm trying to improve. I should've already finished university last year but I still have 1.5 years left. It happens. I hope I can find happiness again, like he did. Ciao Imperatore, ti vorrò sempre bene.

I think of all the players in my life time that come under the “what if” Adriano is top. I first heard about him when he was at Parma and I genuinely thought he would go on to be the successor to R9. Ridiculously strong.. extremely fast and a left foot so powerful it was un saveable from the moment it left his boot. I don’t think it’s crazy to say the football world missed out on seeing a true generational player who could of been regarded as one of the best strikers of all time! He had the talent to do it and it’s a real shame we only saw him at his best for one season but natural talent alone will only take you so far. It’s nice to see he is happy with what he’s done in the game and wish him all the best for the future

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@juniorteles1333]

tive a oportunidade de conhecer ele, eu e minha família estávamos no condomínio que ele mora na Barra e fomos até a casa dele ficamos chamando ele e ele desceu com um sorriso de ponta a ponta nos abraçando e brincando. Me zoou na época por eu ser botafoguense e conversou com a gente de uma maneira leve. Desde então eu passei admirar mais ainda ele habib és

[@lampamarc365]

caralho! didico é muito humilde , tem gente que ficaria incomodada ou poderia tratar mal, ou ate mesmo ignorar, mas ele sempre é um cara muito humilde, da toda atenção aos fãs, sempre com um sorriso no rosto

[@TheSpanjaMan]

One of the best interviews. I love this man! A legend.

[@davi00077]

Gabigol conquistou mais coisas no Flamengo? Sim; Gabigol é mais relevante na história do Flamengo? Sim Mas o que esse cara fez por mim em 2009, quando criança, eu guardo para mim o resto da minha vida. o que o Zico era para meu pai, o Adriano é para mim!

[@guelmeira7232]

PERFEITO! Didico me deu a primeira alegria com o Flamengo. Eu nasci em 96 então só acompanhei as fases ruins do Flamengo, até que o Didico e aquele time de 2009 me trouxe a primeira alegria em ser Rubro-Negro. Além disso, a pessoa Adriano parece ser um dos caras mais sangue bom do mundo, a pessoa Adriano me cativa mais do que a pessoa Gabriel

[@romplaybookbr2591]

Até eu q sou Corinthiano tem um puta carinho especial pelo didico, jogou pouco no Corinthians, mas simplesmente amo ele

[@Matheus86974]

Gabi pode ganhar tudo e mesmo assim, Didico vai continuar sendo o mais brabo para mim.

[@Usario321]

Assim como as crianças de hoje em dia vão ter o Gabigol como ídolo

[@MrGabrielmoreira93]

@@guelmeira7232 Cara, torço pro Corinthians, mas o gol que esse homem fez em 2011 praticamente deu o título do BR pra nós... Lembro como se fosse hj, eu tava chegando da prova do Enem de busão e, quando pisei na sala de casa, o Adriano meteu o gol... Ele é ídolo nacional, não tem uma só pessoa que fale mal dele!

[@brizonbrak9924]

"brigado porra nenhuma " olha a humildade e ❤️ desse ser humano incrível

[@Akash-ck1dc]

wow! what a story! Truly a God Sent Player. Beautiful Interview.

[@jonnymasterterrone9920]

una leggenda! il nostro imperatore!

[@nicolassouza2483]

Esse foi grande! Lembro como se fosse hoje daquele gol dele pelo Corinthians contra o Atlético Mineiro. O Adriano tinha voltado!

[@ibrahimatmaca9367]

His story deserves a Netflix documentary

[@Toro530]

Thank you sir! My favorite player growing up for suuure.

[@pretomoage]

"Eu acabei de chegar, não fiz nadinha. Por que me chamar de Imperador? É Deus" Humildade insana do Didico. Respeito total, foi um monstro do futebol!!

[@samuka5946]

LÁ VEM O BRASILEIRO COM ESSE MIMIMI DE HUMILDADE

[@Junior-np2dg]

@@samuka5946 Pronto! Agora é errado ressaltar humildade, virou mimimi. Deve ser um playboy do caralho, ou um pobre soberbo

[@GPONCEE]

Ele exalta Deus a todo instante, maravilhoso!

[@matheusqueiroz44]

O flamenguista que eu vascaíno mais respeito e admiro, sou fã do Impera!!! Brabo demais 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Shaaan011]

Muitos podem jogar mais bola que o Imperador, mas nenhum terá a essência e a pureza do Didico. É o meu maior ídolo no esporte, ninguém representa melhor o povo simples, humilde, trabalhador, do que o Adriano, ele é a representação da favela em campo. Adriano é o favelado que venceu o mundo e escolheu ser feliz. RESPEITO MÁXIMO AO DIDICO!

[@wilseph1]

The honesty from Adriano the man.

[@rltrader2049]

Adriano é lenda, gol histórico que nos deu o campeonato brasileiro de 2011, mesmo não jogando muito esse lance ficou marcado, e não lamente de não ter a libertadores, não é o Adriano que não tem libertadores é a libertadores que não tem o imperador

[@andersoncosta8865]

O cara é foda!! Perdi meu pai e sei bem como fica a cabeça. Sucesso sempre Didico!

[@rodrigolopes13]

Segunda vez que eu choro com o Adriano, a primeira foi na final da Copa América de 2004. Que entrevista foda!

[@glaubereduardoreggianidasi4742]

Can't wait for the documentary and the book

[@berenoguessr6154]

Adriano é um ídolo e é real demais. Que cara maravilhoso e que representa tão bem o Brasileiro.

[@emersonlucas2567]

8 min e 57 segundos e eu já tô chorando, Caaralho velho q cara magnífico mano que cara sensacional eu amo esse cara quanta humildade mano, vc e Merecedor de tudo que aconteceu na sua vida vc e um vencendo cara

[@singobianco]

Still legendary. I'm Juventini & also your fan whatsoever.

[@evertonsciani2255]

O mal dessa entrevista, e que ela acaba. Didico, voce e um ser humano incrível, obrigado por tudo.

Queria ver O imperador, no Cruzeiro.

Che confusione, sarà perché tifiamo, un giocatore che tira bombe a mano, siam tutti in piedi per questo brasiliano, batti le mani, che in campo c'è ADRIANO!!! Grande Adri

[@lsouzabr]

O verdadeiro imperador! Esse com toda sua história honesta, jogou o verdadeiro futebol e nunca foi chamado de MENINO, tampouco MIMADO. Parabéns Adriano!

[@LeoHolandaa]

Perdi as contas de quantas vezes segurei o choro. Que entrevista!

[@cortspro-brasil6481]

A fé desse homem é grande,o respeito dele,com toda sua história, conhecido no Mundo todo,e com toda essa humildade,que o Senhor continue o abençoando.

[@lominodelpaneconlaporchett7819]

Adriano sei stato il mio primo idolo🖤💙

[@Brenno_Luz]

Adriano é real. Sem máscaras. Exemplo de amor e gratidão a quem se ama.

[@raphaelkonno4175]

A intensidade desse cara enquanto viveu o futebol era mágico, Adriano era bestial em campo. Fora de campo esse cara doce, sereno e que não esquece das raízes. Enquanto jogou conviveu com os melhores, sempre esteve entre os melhores e até quando parou consegue se manter gigante. Obrigado, Adriano.

[@stringap]

Adriano é o maior personagem do futebol nos últimos 20 anos. É muito mais do que só o futebol, é a vida dele mesmo. Um gênio na bola e na vida. Baita entrevista! Parabéns!

[@gabrielpimenta4733]

Didico vc é uma lenda! seu país te ama muito! foi uma honra te ver vestindo a camisa do SPFC

um ser humano único. um gigante gentil. tem a pureza de uma criança e a hombridade de um guerreiro honrado

Adriano is one of my favorite Center Forwards if not my Favorite of alltime.

[@doctnyc]

What a player he was .... What a player..

[@michaelfagundes9140]

O cara é o exemplo de ser humano. O coração é maior que qualquer coisa que ele fez como Imperador. Didico é brabo.

[@MrAzteclion]

Great interview... Thoroughly enjoyed it...

[@original01.21]

I LOVEEEEE THAT MAN! SO TRUE! WHAT A GOOD PERSON!

[@SuperDorje]

We appreciate you Adriano. Always have. Helped some us grow in motivation and aspiration when growing up alone as a student and athlete in life helping my family growing up. Stay strong, would be great to meet you one day. My Portuguese is getting better as well lol

[@Pedro-hu2eo]

O cara é de uma simplicidade e de uma humildade sem igual. Muita saúde e paz!

[@enioaug]

Adriano Imperador é um dos melhores atacantes que eu vi jogar!!! Já o Didico é uma pessoa simples e admirável!

[@edvaldocsilva7418]

" Quanto mais Pedro fala de paulo, sei mais sobre Pedro do que Paulo". Pela imprensa nunca soube nada sobre o Adriano, somente massacravam o cara. Só passei a ouvir melhor quem era o Adriano, quando o seu amigo de Danone, Aloísio fez um depoimento emocionado quanto a grandeza do Imperador. Sou seu fã, pois você representa o que eu mais valorizo. Honra, humildade e verdade. Sua entrevista é inspiradora. Espero que continue transmitindo estes valores maravilhosos para os jovens que tiverem a honra de conviver com você, pois certamente continuara contribuindo para um mundo mais amoroso. Fique com Deus meu irmão.

[@LimJo]

cerca de metade dos fãs de Adriano que estão em seus 20 anos o amou pela primeira vez por causa dos jogos PES 5 e PES 6. uma besta de um jogador
