They called him the new Ronaldo and now he is poor with no job

In soccer, many players have complicated paths after shining. It is said that a soccer player's career is the shortest of any other profession. However, there are other factors that shorten it even more. Such is the case of one of the most talented Brazilian footballers who has ever existed, but now, he is not living in the best condition of all. After being compared to Brazil's Ronaldo, he now lives in poverty.

"Only I know how much I suffered. My father's death left me with a huge void, I ended up feeling very lonely and isolated when. It was the worst. I saw myself alone, sad and depressed in Italy, and that's when I started drinking," Adriano admitted to the publication R7. The Brazilian striker was one of the great stars of Inter Milan at the time and managed to stand out in a great way, however, his present is far from the one he once had, as well as his millions.

Adriano was undoubtedly one of the best Brazilian players of the beginning of the millennium. He had great courage, he fought for every ball like no other, he always had a good leg to steal the ball, his punch was masterful and that led him to be catalogued as the 'future legend of Brazilian soccer', however, there was a critical moment that led him to fade away.

What is Adriano doing now?

Adriano has had a multifaceted life and he has been seen in two worlds; sometimes he lives in one of the most dangerous favelas in Brazil, where he has been seen drinking, with weapons but never in trouble; on the other hand, there are other moments where Adriano uploads photos in luxury mansions, with incredible landscapes and accompanied by his family and friends. He has also been seen working as a barber and others.
