“I’ll have a lot of emotions.” So says Adriano, who will return to San Siro to watch tonight’s match between Inter and Lazio. During an interview with TuttoMercatoWeb, he discussed a number of former and current players as well as his love for the Nerazzurri.

How do you envisage your return?

“I honestly do not know, but it is a return I really wanted. I will embrace many Nerazzurri friends.”

The team is struggling a little…

“Yes, but it is strong. Then I am convinced of one thing.”

Ok…

“Inter will strengthen. At the end of the season they will be in the Champions League places.”

And Gabigol?

“He must do as I did. Italy is not as easy as everyone thinks. You have to adapt to many things; the language, the climate, the physicality. Everything. But Gabi has the strength, and so much talent.”

How do you see your own future prospects?

“I have not set myself any immediate goals. One thing I want to emphasise is that, for me, football is not just a thing of the past.”

Which Brazilian talents does Adriano recommend?

“There are so many, but it is not in my character to pick out specific ones. I took the liberty of advising Inter to sign Júlio César and Maicon. I got lucky. I’ll see you in San Siro tonight. Forza Inter, sempre.”
