    It seems to be Brazillian tradition these days to let your career fall away and then get really unfit , maybe its just those guys that played in the same team, think they like the partying, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, Kaka

    not too sure about the last two towards partying but they have let their career go downhill in terms of form on the pitch

    True :smiley-laughing002:

    It was that bad going inter was considered cheating, nobody could push him off the ball and he could score from 30+ yards out with ease

    It was terrible how over powered he was :smiley-laughing002:

    He had so much potential at one point then when his Dad died he just went completely off the rails. Tim Vickery wrote a great article on him after his release from Roma a couple of years ago.

    Adriano was immense at the peak of his form, shame he has a messed up mentality and threw it away

    Fifa 2006, this man was rated 98 overall and honestly the best player I have ever played with in a computer game.

    Still unsure where they pulled the 98 from !

    Such a shame what happened.

    For one or two years, he was absolutely incredible, but he just couldn't keep it going after his Dad died.

    Inter on Pro Evo 6 with Zlatan and Adriano were ridiculous - no one was allowed to go them.

    He was sensational at his best about 2002-2006, powerful, fast, good in the air, could shoot from anywhere. Then never really kicked a ball again. From 2002-2006 he scored 84 goals in 151 Club games and 25 goals in 33 games for Brazil. 109 goals in 184 games in total.

    He's a brilliant character.

    Carer of the poor.

    Shame his career went downhill, could have been a great.
