Adriano likely to stay at Inter

Skilful Brazilian hit-man Adriano is likely to stay with Inter Milan next season according to his mother. 

She said: “He is staying with Inter,”

“He won’t leave, Inter are a home for him and President Massimo Moratti was extraordinary when Adriano’s father died,”

“Things haven’t been easy recently for Adriano and I told him to leave Italy if he thought that might make him happier.

“However, he told me that is not the solution. He told me that he likes it at Inter and that he gets along fine with his team-mates.

“I believe him when he says that his team-mates like him as I saw them in Milan. He has a great relationship with them on the pitch as well as off it.”

He added: “Sometimes he complains because Mancini scolds him, but I explained that this happens only for his own good,”

“He would not waste his time if he didn’t appreciate him.

“I am sure this difficult moment will soon be over and he will return to be the man and player that he was before.

“The failure of his relationship and his father’s death were two severe blows for him, but I have trust in God. I know he is a warrior and he will react.”
