Adriano has confessed he may reject a new contract offer from Inter Milan.
"The Coach has faith in me and believes in the way I play football," Adriano told Globoesporte.
"I want to thank him for that. When I'm on the bench I know that I must be ready to make the most of any call I get.
"My Inter contract expires in 2010 and I will consider calmly whether I should renew or not.
"I have an excellent relationship with Mourinho and he has picked me for crucial games like Milan and the first Champions League game against Manchester United.
"I was on the bench for the second leg, but it's Mourinho's choice and I'm happy because he discussed it with me."
