Happy birthday, Adriano!

Today, Adriano turns 43. For the Emperor, football was also synonymous with the future and hope. The goal from a direct free kick scored just days after his arrival at Inter at the Bernabeu, the goal that presented him to the Nerazzurri fans and the world, reflected the nature of that powerful left foot trained from being a kid, tearing up nets and more, strength and determination that convinced his family to sign him up to the Flamengo football school and that paid back all their sacrifices. He scored 74 goals for Inter in all competitions and charmed the fans thanks to a mix of power, technique and talent.

Many plays and many goals rest firmly in Club history, the 3-2 at the death in the derby, the goal against Roma in the Coppa Italia, the goal against Udinese where he skipped half the squad.

His talent and performances saw him win four Scudetto titles, two Coppa Italia and three Supercoppa Italiana.

Best wishes to the Emperor Adriano from the whole Inter world on his 43rd birthday!
