Having signed a contract with the Catalan club over the weekend, on Monday he first met the shirts. Celebrating his 26th birthday in the fall, the player will represent "Barca" for four seasons. The Brazilian who can play in defensive positions was introduced to journalists at the Camp Nou stadium today. Although the ceremony itself was very modest, as the stadium is currently under reconstruction and fans were not allowed in, Adriano did not forget to thank everyone who helped him to be in Catalonia. At "Barcelona" club, Adriano will wear shirts marked with number 21. "I fully understand the responsibility that falls on me, but I could not miss this opportunity. This day is very important in my life. I have worked hard to be here," said the footballer. Adriano admitted that he was quite surprised when the president of the "Sevilla" club, Jose Maria Del Nido, informed him of the offer from "Barcelona." The versatile footballer said he knows a lot about his new club because he gets along very well with Daniel Alves, with whom he has often communicated by phone. "I would also like to thank coach Pep Guardiola for his trust. I am extremely happy to work with a coach who has already won everything. I promise not to disappoint and to give my all for the club," said the Brazilian during the presentation ceremony.
