“I was so helpless”, Zantiti's words about Adriano's catastrophic fall will break your heart (Photo)

Football is full of stories when players haven't used talent.

But one of the most painful was Adriano's.

The Brazilian attacker had all the qualities to become one of the biggest players the football world has ever seen, but he wasted it all.

The man from Flamendo in 2001 moved to Inter, where he then borrowed from Fiorentina and Parma for two years and then returned to Milanio for excellence.

Emperor to the extent that he is known for his qualities is also known for his great decline in shape, even though he was at the height of his career.

All this is explained by the legend of Inter, Javier Zantti, who says the biggest defeat in his career was that he failed to save Adriano's career.

We were playing a friendly game against Real Madrid, and he (Adriano) scored an impressive” goal.

I told myself he's young Ronaldo. You had all the power, the technique, the drive, the speed, the hard shot and the good shot with the head”.

“Adri was a favela (poor parallels in Brazil), which scared me a lot. I've seen the danger, because it's dangerous to get rich if you've never had anything before.

I was afraid he was going to get into trouble.

That one day he got a call from Brazil, Adri, father died”

I saw him in the strip store, hit the phone and started screaming. I couldn't imagine that way of screaming. To this day, I'm afraid it's going to hurt.

“Since that day Morati (the president of Inter at that time) and I've taken care of him as if he were our little brother”.

He continued to play soccer, score goals, and dedicate them to his father in the sky. But after that call nothing was the same”.

“Ivan Cordoba spent a night on it saying it. Adri, you're a mixture of Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Are you aware that you can become the best player of all time? ”

We didn't succeed in getting her out of depression and that's probably the biggest defeat in my entire career. It still hurts me, I was so helpless”, Zaenti added.

These words are best indicated and confirmed how much Adriano was destroyed by Dad's death, but it is another indication of how devoted Zaenti was to his fellow players and Inter.

Zaenti is currently vice-president of Inter, but as a active player, he was one of the best captains ever to have seen the football world, both in the field and outside. /Telegraphy/
