'Adriano was contemplating suicide’
The Brazilian striker rescinded his contract with the Nerazzurri in April 2009 after suffering from depression.
He returned to his homeland with the intention of taking a six-month break from football, but signed for Flamengo soon afterwards and resurrected his career.
Adriano joined Roma on a free transfer this summer with the aim of establishing himself again in Europe.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his mother said: “The death of his father which he never got over was the origin of his depression.
“Because of his enormous success, many people badmouthed and criticised him without really knowing what things were happening, and this made him sink [into depression].
“No one knows the nature of the illness better than those who suffer from it, and probably I didn’t even know how to help him.
“One day, when he was still in Italy, he called me and told me that he couldn’t take it anymore, that he wanted to stop playing football.
“He confessed to me that he was thinking about suicide. And I told him to act with the heart, because nothing is more important than your happiness. And if to obtain it you have give up football, no problem.”
Being at Inter is a good enough reason to suicide.

But the guy apparently said someone between midfield and attack so he might have meant a support striker.
I remember Del Piero and Quag fondling publicly after Quag's goal in Udine. And Pepe joined them too.
