"It's our own fault," admits Mancini.
Internazionale coach Roberto Mancini admitted that Adriano's poor form is a result of the club pushing him too hard after his return from the World Cup this summer. The club have sent the mis-firing striker back to Brazil on indefinite leave so that he can have "complete rest" at a health farm.
"The World Cup was very tiring and stressful for him from a psychological point of view," Mancini said.
"We wanted to have him back early, so for that reason I say it was our error. Speaking to Adriano, I think at this moment in time he needs to stay calm, take a few days to rest and train productively when he returns.
"A lot of players struggle to regain their form after a World Cup, so Adriano isn't the only one.
"In the old days they used to send players into the mountains for five or six days to recuperate and relax. Now there is this option. He feels calm at home and that's fine with us.
"It was a decision we took together with Adriano and evaluated all the alternatives, picking what was best for him and Inter.
"The most important thing is that he can get back in shape, as at times you need to really switch off for a while."
