The Brazilian striker suffered the death of his fatherwhich plunged him into a huge depression. The player never reached the full potential he was promised. Although he stopped his career in 2016, he remains a player loved by many football fans. In his farewell match at the Maracanã, which pitted the Flamengo legends against their friends from Italy, the Imperador received a vibrant tribute, including the voice of his deceased father recreated using artificial intelligence. Faced with this, the player could not contain his tears when “finding,” for a moment, his father.
Adriano, a generation-defining player
During his stay in Italy, Adriano left his mark. Whether on loan to Fiorentina, Parma or especially with Inter Milan, the Brazilian was a real star in Italy. His nickname “the Imperador” was given to him in this country after numerous matches of a more than impressive level. Star on the field but also off it, he marked a generation by being the darling of the football game “Pro Evolution Soccer 2006”.
Unfortunately, due to extra-sporting issues, the player did not have the career that was promised to him. Alongside Ronaldo and Ronaldinho with the Seleção, he was the one who could have brought the Brazilian selection back to life. This tribute match meant a lot to the player, especially with this message from his father.
