Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti isn't "shocked" by Adriano's decision to step away from the game.

"I am not shocked, just sad that he is in this situation," sighed Moratti, who Adri called 'a father figure.'

"In all honesty, it is a shame that he is struggling so much, but I do agree this is probably the right course of action for him.

"We will see about the rest later on. I haven't spoken to him yet. The important thing is that he's happy."
