Adriano interview

Adriano opens up about his life and career in a raw interview. He says even the word 'favelas' is wrong,people who don't live there don't get it. He remembers his childhood as fun: flying kites, playing tops, kicking a ball in the hallways. He explains why he left Inter so suddenly: within nine days, he went from winning the Copa América against Argentina to learning of his father's death, which took away his love for football. In 2011 he ruptured his Achilles tendon and still limps from that injury. He says he had a hole in his heel and a hole in his soul. He returned to his people, friends, and community, not wanting to be in a castle on top of a hill away from everyone. He told Moratti he couldn't stay in Italy and wanted to remain in Brazil, and Moratti understood.
