Adriano opens up: No one cares about me as a person any more | OneFootball

One of the most brilliant talents ever seen in Serie A, a striker capable of enchanting Inter fans and leaving his mark on Italian football. Adriano Leite Ribeiro, known to everyone as the Emperor, is once again speaking about himself and the personal difficulties that have marked his career and his life.

Adriano confesses: “No one cares about me as a person anymore. It’s something that can’t be explained”

Guest on the podcast “Boteco do Chula,” hosted by former footballer Aloisio Chulapa, the former Nerazzurri number 10 made touching statements that once again reveal the weight of loneliness after retirement.

“No one cares about me anymore”

“I’m not someone who gives interviews, but today I insisted, I came with pleasure. The truth is that no one cares about me anymore. The only player who calls me to ask how I am is Aloisio Chulapa. There are very few people who truly care about others. Do you know who was the only player who cried for me, as a human being? It was Aloísio. It’s something that can’t be explained. But the beautiful things stay with us.”

Few relationships, much affection elsewhere

Adriano confessed that he has very little contact with his former teammates, despite the unforgettable moments they shared together wearing the Inter shirt: “There’s no price for being with the people you love,” he said. “I find affection and comfort elsewhere, not in football.”

A talent broken by depression

The Emperor’s career was marked by periods of depression and personal difficulties that limited his potential. After years of ups and downs, Adriano now lives in Brazil, in the places of his childhood, alternating moments of serenity with darker periods.
