Adriano Correia Claro

Coentrao scores for Madrid only for them to draw? Bitch please. Adriano scores a screamer only for Barca to win.

Also, that pic on the main page.

After MundoDeportivo, readers of Sport also voted Adriano as MoM against Atletico arty1:

Fully deserved.

 

[Corb]

Yes he does. He changed the game with a stroke of genius.

 

[ivan22]

I've never been so jealous in my entire life...

 

[jiopi]

He's not bad on defense. Marcelo is bad. Maxwell had real defensive limitations. Adriano plays taller than all the other Barca fullbacks, due to his athletic ability and strength. He recovers extremely well, he is faster than any of the CBs and than Montoya. No, he is not perfect positionally, and he sometimes he gets caught downfield. Not at Abidal's level for defense (who is?).

With the lack of scoring from all the forwards other than Messi, and Busquets almost never scoring, Barca desparately needs someone from the back line to put the ball in the net. Adriano loosens up the opponents' defenses.

The thing about this new fitness regime that he got is he lost some killos,and is faster but just as strong...In the last couple of matches he is able to take on up to 3 deffenders,something that alexis forgot in his head how to do,to move the team from the deffense to sudden counter attack that we lack from others...If he stays fit he can be one of the most crucial players this year...I never thought he would be this good,with Jordi biggest surprise this year...I said before the league started that we will be incredibly strong this year when everything fits into place,we demolished one of the better teams in europe after getting focus in the game,demolished....

He's having a Roberto Carlosesque season. Although I don't know if Carlos scored this many important goals.

 

[abual3bed1]

Scoring 5 goals means he has the best tally ever for a full back in Barca after playing only 11 games in Liga. Dani had the same number of goals in 08/09 in 34 matches.

Playing well for us, hope he doesn't get injured.
I like the fact he can play both LB and RB.
If Dani goes back to the form he was in a few weeks ago then Adriano will keep his starting spot.
Can't touch the Dani of 08/09 but is still very very good this season.
