Turncoat? Adriano on ‘rooting against’ Flamengo v Inter Milan

What did Adriano Imperador say about cheering for Flamengo?

Adriano Imperador is full of sincerity and does not hide that he has been a supporter of Flamengo since childhood. However, throughout his career, the former striker wrote a beautiful story with the shirt of Inter Milan (ITA). When asked who he would cheer for in a game between Mengão and the Italian team, the former athlete did not hesitate and chose the Rubro-Negro.

In a conversation released by 'Romário TV', last Thursday (11), Adriano reaffirmed once again that he cheers for Mengão. Therefore, Romário asked the former athlete on which side he would stand in a possible confrontation between the Rubro-Negro and Inter. Thus, the Emperor said: "Flamengo, always. No chance of another cheer".
