Adriano to play in Libertadores for Corinthians
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 12, 2012 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
After three-week time
uncertainty, Adriano received the news on Sunday that he was
included in Corinthians' squad of the 2012 Libertadores Cup.
Adriano has been secluded from interacting with the remainder
of players at Corinthians in order to focus on his physical
conditioning. The isolation appears to have paid off as the
29-year-old striker was able to convince head coach Tite of his
evolutions and ability to play.
During a recent scrimmage among reserve players, Adriano scored
three goals and caught attention of Tite, the coaching staff and
club administration.
Apart from Adriano, another surprise in Tite's list is Douglas
who recently arrived from Gremio and is yet to play in a match
with the team.
Corinthians is expected to leave Brazil for Venezueala on
February 13. The club makes its debut in the 2012 Libertadores on
February 15 against Deportivo Tachira.
