Although Adriano is a popular Brazilian name having representatives in several sports such as tennis or beach volley, nowadays, hearing this name immediately takes you to the footballer Adriano, currently playing for Inter Milan (another famous "Adriano" player is Sevilla FC's left winger, however he is usually referred to as Adriano Correia as the "brand" Adriano rightfully belongs to the Inter striker).
Adriano Biography - Early Years - Born in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most famous Brazilian soccer "incubators" of all times, it was only natural that young Adriano would take up on football with a passion, especially since he grew up watching Brazilian soccer legends such as Zico, Falcao, Dunga, Romario or Bebeto play in the 1986, 1990 and 1994 World Cups, eventually winning the latter.

He started out in the youth squad of Flamengo, where he was immediately deemed as a future star player, given his already impressive strength and shot power.
After grabbing a pro contract in 1999, he started seeing first-squad daylight soon, however he only played 19 matches for the Brazilian side, having scored 7 goals.
Despite not starting out with a blast, the Flamengo period cannot miss from any Adriano biography as it was those 2 years that put him up on the shelf for powerful European clubs to buy.
On his first match for Inter, in a friendly against Real Madrid on the Spaniards' home stadium, he was given the chance to play for the last 8 minutes. Obtaining a free kick, he grabbed the ball and charged up his shot, scoring an impressive power goal.
In 2001 however, he only played in 8 official games for Inter, having scored a single goal. As is the custom of Inter, a truly complex soccer machine, the young footballer Adriano was loaned out to Fiorentina for a short period of time, where he scored 6 goals in 15 matches, clearly improving his game and settling in the Italian league.
Adriano Biography – Parma - Parma was in dire need of a good offense, as they planned to reach at least an UEFA Cup spot in 2003. Besides buying ex-Inter's Romanian Adrian Mutu, they set eyes on another Inter footballer, Adriano. Since Inter did not agree to fully releasing the Brazilian to Parma, the two teams decided to sign a co-ownership of the player.
Adriano's Parma period was definitely the peak of his career so far. Together with his offensive colleague, Adrian Mutu, they managed to become the most feared couple in Serie A and the most prolific one of the last decade, having scored over 40 goals in the 2002-2003 season together (most of Mutu's goals were scored from Adriano's assists and most of Adriano's goals were scored from Mutu passes).
It was this year that truly marked Adriano as a world class soccer player and Inter immediately bought him back the next year. Ever since, Adriano has been a constant in the Nerazzurri first squad as well as the Brazilian national team, where he scored 25 goals in 37 caps, in addition to being named Player of the Tournament in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup.
