Inter Milan’s Brazilian right back Maicon is one of the most respected right-backs in the world and has just played a crucial role in the treble winning Jose Mourinho Inter side.
Maicon’s ability has meant he was able to successfully replace a World Cup legend in the Brazilian team. The gap left by Cafu’s retirement from the Samba Boys was big, but Maicon is up to the task.

The 28-year-old was already a big part of the success of Roberto Mancini’s Inter when he finally established himself as the starting right-back of the national team. Now, Maicon is one of the main players of Dunga’s Brazil and won the stiff competition with Daniel Alves to play in the right back role for the national side.
More than that, he hopes to be as successful as his predecessor, one of the players with most titles in the history of football.
According to reports in Italy, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is hoping to be reunited with the Brazilian and is preparing to offer Inter £30million for the right-back as the Italian hopes to improve his back line during the summer.
It’s also widely reported that Jose Mourinho wants to take Maicon with him from Inter to Real Madrid and intends to make the Brazilian a top transfer target in the summer.
The 28-year-old is unsure as to where he will be playing next season but Maicon is not too worried as his full focus at the moment is on winning the World Cup as part of the Brazil squad.

“My only thought is about doing the quadruple,” Maicon told the press.
“I dream of winning the World Cup after having won the Champions League, Scudetto and Coppa Italia.
“When the World Cup is over, they will tell me where I’ll play next year.”
As always, Brazil are strong favourites to lift the World Cup again in South Africa. Currently they are 5.50 to do so for the sixth time.
