..... "Reality has proven that for Inter Milan, Adriano is currently much easier to use than Vieri." After the match, Vito Hodson, commentator for Italian radio and television, commented.

"In the two games that have ended, his role on the front line is much larger than Vieri's before. His superb shooting skills and strong confrontation ability have helped him stabilize his position as the main force. mine."

"I can even say that he will become the second highest scorer in the team after Wang Feng. His experiences playing at Fiorentina and Parma honed his intuition and confidence as a shooter. I believe he stayed at Inter Milan before, he couldn't grow up quickly.'

Another commentator, Donovan Mayeske, said of the turmoil surrounding Vieri's transfer: "Many teams gave Vieri an olive branch. Is he still competitive?

Hodson said: "I think he is suitable for Inter Milan's reserve striker position. Why? Wang Feng, 21, Adriano, 21, and Ribery, 20, are all Inter Milan strikers. Yes a young player who can play a big role." "

"They are young and talented, it's time for them to play more. From the club's point of view, there is no problem in replacing Vieri."

"But the former Italian Tomahawk is clearly unhappy with this position so his departure is inevitable."

Hodson also believes that when Vieri was transferred from Lazio to Inter Milan for 50 million euros, his value should have dropped to around 20 million euros, lower than Adriano's 27 million euros.
