Brasilia: Flamengo striker has been recalled by Dunga for Brazil`s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Chile after five months out of the coach`s plans.
Having been decisive in the 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup in defeating Argentina in the final, the former Inter Milan man believes Diego Maradona`s side are now cursing their luck.
"I have a name against Argentina and they get a bit scared," Adriano is quoted as saying. Adriano, who has recovered his form in front of goal, insists that returning to his homeland was crucial to recover from his off-field problems.
"When I said I wanted some time off it is because I was in a very bad moment," he added.
"I threw everything away to return to my country and my roots. I wanted to be close to my family. I am very happy and that is why I have been recalled. I have recovered the joy of playing."
