There has been much controversy surrounding the relationship between Inter coach Jose Mourinho and troubled Brazilian striker Adriano, but now it seems all is well, according to the players agent.
Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss, one time Brazilian international keeper now football agent, Gilmar Rinaldi talked of transfer rumours, his clients physical and mental state and his relationship with the 'Special One.
He [Adriano] could have gone to Chelsea, but when I told everyone last year that he was staying put, nobody believed me.
The powerful forward has yet to really shine at Inter, but Rinaldi believes he soon will.
Adriano is now fully recovered and you can tell, his agent stated. He had some troubles when he was younger, as every young player does, but he is now 27 years-old and knows exactly what is expected of him.
On the relationship with Mourinho, Rinaldi said, There was never any problem, the relationship has always been good because Jose talks to people man to man and that is always the best way.
Adriano should be in Brazil's starting XI for tonights game against Italy, and it could be the beginning of his road to recovery.
