'''Adriano Neves Pereira''' (born 24 May 1979), commonly known as '''Adriano Chuva''', is a Brazilian former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played primarily as a [[forward (association football)|forward]].

A tall, powerful forward, he was known for his pace, tactical awareness, speed, dribbling and accurate shooting.

Chuva is perhaps best described as a [[journeyman (sports)|journeyman]], namely because he has turned out for over twelve different clubs since he started his professional career with [[Esporte Clube Juventude|Juventude]] in 1997. However, despite his inability to settle, he has nevertheless proved himself to be a prolific goal-scorer wherever he has happened to play.

Born Adriano Neves Pereira he was given his nickname, Chuva, at a young age by his mother Simone in deference to a family friend of the same name whom she thought Adriano resembled.
