Adriano Correia, footballer in 'mute'

Lights and stenographers and always point to the covers of the Copan who usually raise more media noise. However, the accolades are something that usually can be shared with more relief inside newspapers and on the knot of the chronicles. While Messi's hoarding with every right in the world, players like Adriano Correia should settle part of a highlight. In a corner of the page, at the top or bottom. Left or right, rarely in the middle. But the highlight is deserved and also fits perfectly into a possible definition of its relevance in today's Barcelona. Featured as they come, always in silence, without question when not playing, but doing mad when it does. Is a player in 'mute' that rises from their seats to the stand when it is necessary and that causes runaway cry with his goals, extra work that adds value to their already commendable work in any position where you situated.

A single missing Adriano playing goalkeeper and center forward. In every position where it has previously been shown to be a versatile player, unlike others, good in all positions. Its natural habitat is the left lane, or so we wanted to sell in its first years in Spain. In Sevilla started inside left. It was Sevilla's Monchi clinical eye, which then did nothing to find players as good as nice and cheap. Adriano delayed its position when the situation required, also occupying the right flank of the defense where the absence of Alves demanded, and at the Sanchez Pizjuan cycle resulted in two Europa League, among other titles, and the best team in the recent history reminiscent sevillismo. His goalscoring season, that of 2005/2006, ended with six goals. The same sum today with Barcelona, ​​which came three summers ago in exchange for 10 million.

Adriano is the atypical player every coach would want on their staff. Although injuries have punished him more than necessary and therefore has slowed its continuity, is a player that brings serenity number twelve on the rear, speed, solidarity with other peers and piece work in any area where it does slaughter. He's played center, left-lateral position for which he was booked-, interior in both right-wing and, forgetting the injury doing a Dani Alves which are increasingly less and take less than the value penultimate raid La Masia, Martin Montoya. In his wisdom must be added back his accurate shot from distance, his admitted to getting into the kitchen, their centers to the pot and that extra that was not in the script but it is becoming key player: the goals. Yesterday the Estadi, when Atletico had gone ahead and tie did not come, a whip of Adriano, a shell wiped the cobwebs of the goal of Courtois served to pave the way for the comeback that took place after Messi and company. He scored with his left foot but could have labeled perfectly right. It has the advantage of being ambidextrous.

The silence gave way to the thunderous sound of respectable, that you have not questioned the appropriateness of their arrival, or the apparent high amount of that operation. So let him know with a standing ovation from more decibels Tito Vilanova Cundo replacing him would reward him. With 28 years has shown something no one ever put into question: his commitment. Of players like him, those in 'mute', emerges that bit Barca makes a steep mountain unavailable for any contender.
