The reasons behind

"Adriano needs help, he should be followed by psychologists and psychiatrists because he has disturbances he cannot control," he said to daily paper Extra. "He wants to drink, if he goes out at night he can't stop. And he hates to be reprimanded the next day, and gets depressed."

Dr. Cunha also thinks the Brazilian doesn't surround himself with the right people.

"He is surrounded by groupies, not friends," he continued. "There isn't one who is able to keep up with him. He needs to be reminded of his responsibilities; the problem is himself."

There have even been rumours the player is considering quitting football. While that seems quite unlikely, as he is only 27, a move away from Inter seems inevitable now.
