Adriano (42), the Brazilian who won four Serie A titles, all with Inter Milan, has been filmed drunk and has become the star of a new viral video on social media.
The former great striker, who also teamed up with Adrian Mutu (45) in the glory days, was caught barefoot on the streets of a notorious neighborhood in his native country.
Adriano does not calm down. It has once again become a laughing stock on social media
Adriano Leite Ribeiro, known worldwide and nicknamed “The Emperor”, hung up his boots in 2016, after a short period spent in the United States of America, in Miami.
From then until now, “Emperor” Adriano was the protagonist of several shocking images and not infrequently he was laughed at in the streets of Brazil. In addition to being almost unrecognizable physically, Adriano continues to have serious problems with alcohol, and the latest stunts he’s been caught in prove it.
In short, Adriano was caught on the streets of a notorious neighborhood in Brazil, surrounded by friends and with a beer in hand. Visibly in a state of advanced intoxication, the “Emperor” can hardly stand in a firm position on his own two feet. However, he does not lack good humor as he laughs heartily at his friends.
Those images were uploaded on TikTok by the user @nanizin.77 and quickly garnered over 600,000 likes and several thousand comments.

Adriano, on the problems with alcohol: “Only I know how much I suffered”
Adriano also committed it last summer, when he partied too hard and couldn’t make it to Istanbul to comment on the Champions League finalwon by Manchester City against Inter with a score of 1-0.
However, Adriano’s problems with alcohol began almost two decades ago, when the former striker was still active at the highest level. Specifically, in 2004, Adriano’s father passed away, and that episode deeply marked the “Emperor”:
Only I know how much I suffered. My father’s death left a huge hole. I felt alone and isolated when he died. I was sad and depressed, I was in Italy and from then on I started drinking. I couldn’t stop drinking and in the end I had to leave Inter. I didn’t even know how to hide, I arrived drunk in the morning at training. I always showed up, even if I was completely drunk and the medical staff had to take me to the infirmary to sleep. Inter was telling the press that I only have muscle problems. Later I realized that the major problem was the people around me, friends who did nothing but take me to parties with women and alcohol without thinking about the consequences. Then, returning to Brazil, I lost millions, but I gained happiness,” said Adriano, in an earlier interview with Brazil’s R7 publication.
Adriano retired from European football for good in March 2011 when he parted ways with AS Roma to sign for Corinthians.
