“Ronaldo and his friends should call things as they see them rather than always saying that he is right,” he told Calcio Italia.

“If they always treat him as if he is correct then they aren’t real friends.”

The AC Milan striker asked people to ease on Adriano who is totally perturbed at the moment. The Brazilian hitman suffers from depression after his girlfriend dumped him and his father passed away a few months ago.

Adriano admitted that he was destroyed by alcohol and that now he is going back to Brazil to get treatment and recover his top form.

“Before he left for Brazil, I told him that he has lots of waiting here for him in January,” added Mancini.

The 25-year old striker only played four games this season and a total of 241 minutes but he managed to score a goal.
