Despite his good preseason form, Controcampo says Adriano has failed to win over his new Inter coach.

Mourinho said: "Adriano loves to receive the ball to his feet and then turn towards the goal, I would prefer he worked on cutting between defenders and getting behind them."

Asked about man-managing the Brazilian, Mourinho also admitted: "He needs a coach to be close to him. But I am a coach of men, not of children."
