Nothing mentioned about consuming less drink and drugs

Forget knuckling down at training and cutting out the extra-curricular activities – Sao Paulo President Juvenal Juvencio has found the key to solving Adriano’s problems – praying.

Following a less-than-impressive 2007 that culminated in a recent car crash (which may or may not have involved alcohol), the Sao Paulo chief said:

“He needs to pray more. I won’t fine him, but I just want to speak to him so that I can help him.”

I agree, the chubby striker would do well to take a leaf out of Kaka’s book. Not so much in the sense of finding religion though, but more in being good at his job and not squandering a huge talent.
