Description

Adriano’s 2006-07 season at Inter was a complex one, marked by highs and lows.

After the brilliant previous seasons, where he had won the hearts of the fans with goals and great performances, this one was characterized by an inconsistent performance.

Serie A

Inter, led by Roberto Mancini, won the Scudetto with 97 points, the result of 30 wins, 7 draws and only one defeat. Adriano contributed to the championship victory with 5 goals in 23 appearances.

Coppa Italia

In the Coppa Italia, Inter was eliminated in the semifinals by Roma. Adriano played 3 games, scoring one goal.

Champions League

The Champions League journey was interrupted in the round of 16 against Valencia. Adriano played only 3 games without scoring goals.

Supercoppa Italiana

Inter won the Supercoppa Italiana by beating Roma on penalties. Adriano started but did not score.

Considerations on Adriano’s season

The 2006-07 season was a transitional season for Adriano. The Brazilian player showed only intermittently his great qualities, probably paying for some physical problems and a less than optimal athletic condition.

Despite this, he still contributed to the conquest of the Scudetto, playing 23 games and scoring 5 goals.

After Inter

After this season, Adriano continued to play for Inter until 2008, but was unable to return to the levels of the past. His career was then characterized by a series of transfers and returns to Brazil, without ever finding the stability and performance that had distinguished him in the early years at Inter.
