La Liga News – Inter Milan's Maicon being pursued by Jose Mourinho for move to Real Madrid
Brazil had a disappointing 2010 World Cup campaign. They looked to be in great shape as they started off in the ‘Group of Death.’ They were paired up with North Korea, Ivory Coast and Portugal, and were expected to top the group, and they did so with 7 points (they won 2 matches and drew 0-0 against Portugal).
During the first match, fans from all around the world saw how great the Brazilian team was. The Koreans were tight at their defences and did not let the Brazilians score a goal in the first half, but in the second half, there was a man from the right wing who came from the back and scored a marvellous goal that the people in South Africa took as one of the best goals scored in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The name of that player was Maicon.
Maicon, during the season, has been amazing at his position. He plays as a right back for Brazil and for his Italian club, Inter Milan. Even with Dani Alves in the squad for Brazil, the (then) Brazilian coach Dunga still chose Maicon to be the right back, because he is better than everyone else at the moment. Experts even say that he is so lethal at that position that he should be made illegal. His ability to move forward and come back when the opponents are counterattacking is better than any right back that is playing football at the moment. He can score goals, play crosses and even dribble the ball. He scored the first goal for his team and took them to the quarterfinal stage of the FIFA World Cup 2010. They lost the match to Netherlands because of the red card given to Felipe Melo. Maicon, on the other hand, did not lose hope and helped the Brazilians attack. Even though Brazil did not win, everyone saw Maicon prove to the world that he is undoubtedly the best right-back in football.
Apart from his amazing form in the FIFA World Cup, he showed great passion while playing for his club, Inter Milan. Under the amazing coach, Jose Mourinho, Maicon was able to take his team to the finals of the Champions League and they were actually good enough to win the title. They defeated great teams on their way, including Barcelona, who are the current Spanish champions. Maicon was able to hold Lionel Messi throughout the semifinal, and did not let Barcelona score goals; the team was able to qualify for the final on away goals, and Maicon was shedding tears to show the world that he has great respect and emotion for the game.
Recently, Jose Mourinho was taken by the Spanish club Real Madrid. Mourinho, at the moment, is the most successful coach. He has won it all and he knows how to win it. Now he is a part of Real Madrid, and is planning on investing on his team as much as he can. He has already grasped Angel Di Maria, the Benefica star, and now he is looking forward to bring the amazing Brazilian right-back, Maicon, to the club.
With Maicon on his side, his team is going to be practically indestructible. They already have Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Sergio Ramos and the amazing keeper Iker Casillas in their team, and with Maicon on the right-hand-side, the team's defence is going to reach its peak.
The club was willing to pay 25 million Euros to claim Inter Milan’s Maicon, but the Italian side is demanding at least 35 million Euros. Jose Mourinho held a meeting with the president and he pressurized the board that they should go on and make a move for the talented right-back, Maicon.
If Maicon becomes a part of Real Madrid, he is definitely going to be an asset for the Spanish side. With their rivals Barcelona winning the last Spanish League, Real Madrid want to push themselves for a win this year around.
