Adriano has described life at Inter Milan as "terrible".

In Sao Paulo to be treated for depression, Adriano declared: "I want to return to Brazil. My situation in Italy is terrible."

Inter have prohibited Adriano from speaking to the Press during this time away, but he let some phrases slip out.

"I would talk to you, but I have been banned and if I do speak then I'll get into trouble. Incredible, isn't it?"
