Maicon Douglas Sisenando (born 26 July 1981 in Criciúma, Santa Catarina), commonly known as Maicon, is a Brazilian football player, currently playing for Italian Serie A club Internazionale. He plays as a right sided wing-back. He is widely considered, by managers such as Jose Mourinho and Team President Massimo Moratti, as the finest Right-Back in the world.[citation needed]

[edit] Club career

A talented right sided full back, Maicon debuted for Cruzeiro in 2001 and after two successful seasons in Brazil which included winning a championship and being called up for the Brazilian national team in 2003, he was signed by French club Monaco in June 2004.[1]

[edit] Internazionale

In July 2006, Internazionale officially announced the signing of Maicon on a five-year contract along with fellow Brazilian fullback Maxwell and French midfielder Olivier Dacourt.

During an UEFA Champions League match on March 6, 2007, he was involved in a brawl with Valencia defender David Navarro. Maicon was originally banned for six matches, but the ban was reduced to three. A regular under current coach José Mourinho, he has contributed his fair share of assists and goals as Inter won a fourth consecutive title in the 2008-09 season.

[edit] International career

Maicon was played for 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship along with future club team-mate Adriano. Maicon was first called up for Brazil squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2003 as part of Brazil U-23 team, which was sent to represent Brazil senior team at the Gold Cup. On July 13, 2003, he made his first international appearance in the opening match against Mexico. In his second international appearance, he scored his first international goal in a match against Honduras. In January 2004, he capped for 2004 CONMEBOL Men Pre-Olympic Tournament with Cruzeiro EC team-mate Heurelho Gomes, Edu Dracena, Wendel and future team-mate Maxwell.

He was also on Brazil squad for Copa América 2004 and 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, which Brazil successfully won both competitions. However, he was not called up for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, with Cicinho chosen as the primary backup to Cafu at right-back. After the retirement of Cafu and the appointment Dunga as the new coach, Maicon became the first-choice right-back for Brazil. He was also chosen for the Copa América 2007, which Brazil went on to win. Maicon scored the third goal in the 3–0 Brazilian victory in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup group stage against the United States from a great build up on the right wing, and also assisted in Felipe Melo's goal with a free kick.
