Adriano actually had one breakout season were he scored close to 30 goals and he was Brazil's best player at the 2005 Confed Cup. I thought that team would have done well but they peaked too early and trying to play Kaka,Ronaldinho,Ronaldo,Adriano in the same side didn't work.They were less fluid at the WC and the 1st good team they met bumped them out. He was looking like he could have seamlessly replaced Ronaldo at the number 9 position that Brazil has not yet found an adequate replacement after Romario and Ronaldo.
