Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti insists the club has faith in Adriano. "You journalists have created the real chaos surrounding Adriano," Moratti claimed.

"At Inter, we have never had any negative thoughts about him. The whole thing was dramatised and blown out of proportion.

"Adriano is a great lad and a great player, even if he can be a bit fragile at times.

"He just needs to show his potential because we all know what he can do."
