Former Flamengo striker and idol, Adriano Imperador, almost had a completely different story in football. This is because when he was still in the youth teams, as a left-back, the player was close to being released.

The former coach of the youth teams of Rubro Negro, Marcos Paquetá, in participation on the "Charla Podcast", spoke about the change of position that "saved" Adriano Imperador's career. He said that the player always started matches in defense and then switched to attack.

“Itamar was his coach. And he always said, “this guy (Adriano) is a very good player”, skinny, but in his position he was a little slow, he was a full-back at that time. Then he was tested in defense. Once the team was losing, Adriano went on the attack and saved one. Another game, the same thing, he always started in defense and went on the attack”, said Marcos Paquetá, before completing:

“And so it was, until the end of the competition he went on the attack and gave his career progression. But at the base it is important, you have to test there. Because he would be released, he would probably be released if he had remained at left-back.”


Marcos Paquetá also reinforced the importance of clubs' grassroots work, and that the coach has an obligation to extract the best of each athlete, testing where each player fits best. He also talked about Adriano's characteristics at the Mais Querido base.


“I confess that I saw little of Adriano, I trained several times against the children at the time, the day before a game and such, even to meet the boys. But he was an ordinary full-back, very strong, with quality, Adriano had quality, he shot a lot. But the recovery wasn't very good due to the size, if he saw that he didn't have the qualities and aptitude to play in that position”, stated Marcos Paquetá.
