F.C. Internazionale Milano - Forza Inter :: Fudbal ~ Kladionica ~ Fantasy ~ Navijaci

Adriano is on your squad list. Does this mean the Brazilian is back in top condition?
"He's still not in top condition, but there are still twenty-four hours to go before the match and we will see how he is after the last training session tomorrow morning. We will see whether he can play from the first minute or come on during the match."

Could Inter play with just one striker tomorrow?
"No, I don't think so. If Adriano is okay two strikers will play and they will be him and Martins. If not, we will see."

Kakà said that Adriano feels overburdened with responsibility. Is this true?
"I don't know, but the great champions capable of making the difference who play for the big teams are always dragged into these things. But it has always been like this in football. Adriano and Kakà are young and perhaps they don't know the history of football, but the great players have always had lots of responsibility and they're the first to be involved when things aren't going well."

By saying the great players have more responsibility you mean they also have to learn how to take responsibility...
"This is what you said... I don't want to talk about certain things any more because I am always sincere and honest when I reply to questions in press conferences. I always say what I really think, but sometimes just a few words of what I say are reported and the concept is changed. I said before that a strong player in an important team always has responsibilities and that this has always happened in football."

But do you think that in certain moments of the season Adriano has taken less responsibility than he should have done?
"No. He has always gone on the pitch to try to do his best just like all the other Inter players have always done. And before we were commenting on what Kakà said."
