One day after their "embarrassing" loss to Coritiba by the score of 5-0, the Flamengo soccer team arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Monday with another problem to fix.
After disembarking the aircraft, the team noticed that their luggage had beem tampered with.
Specifically, the suitcase carrying the team's jerseys was broken into.
Also missing was Adriano, who was unreachable after the arrival of the plane. No one knew where did he go in spite of being counted for the game.
Adriano has already run into the problem of missing his team's practice. Having missed practice on two separate occasions, Adriano is walking on thin ice. The team's administration has declared that he will not be given any more chances. His next absence will result in a fine.
