Adriano has earned an international recall after a successful loan spell in Brazil from Inter Milan and the 26-year-old believes that his 2006 World Cup teammate will also recover from his own recent troubles.

Ronaldo, who is recovering from a knee injury, recently found himself in the headlines after it was reported that police in Rio de Janeiro were investigating an accusation that a transvestite attempted to extort money from the AC Milan player after he mistakenly picked up three transvestites at a nightclub.

“We always had a good relationship and while I think that what Ronaldo did was not right, I am never going to give up our friendship for that,” said Adriano to globoesporte.com.

“He is Ronaldo and he is a big name. If that had happened to another person, nobody would talk about it.

“These are lessons to learn from this incident. I also went through some difficulties and I know how he must feel,” Adriano added.
