Kaka’s surgery a waste of time

Head of Milan Lab Jean Pierre Meersseman has stated the Kaka’s surgery was a waste of time; he has accused Professor Runco, the surgeon who operated the player, of making a mistake as he believes the injury to Kaka’s meniscus had nothing to do with the inflammation of his tendon. Hence there was no point to the Brazilians surgery as it will solve nothing.

The AC Milan lab chief stated that “With the operation the player wanted, time was lost because he had to undergo rehabilitation without following the right cures from previously.” He also stated that “The injury to his meniscus which was solved during the operation had nothing to do with the inflammation.

“The operation was useless and damaging.” With Kaka’s recent operation, many believe he will be out for several months and with Meersseman’s recent statements the surgery may have done more harm than good. But many have tipped Milan for the Scudetto and with the possibility of Kaka being absent Ronaldinho may have his work cut out for him. This could be the perfect situation for Ronaldinho to show the world that he is still the maestro.

Panucci may be an unlikely candidate for AC Milan as he has stated his intention to finish his career in Rome.

The upcoming Serie A season promises to be very interesting with four to five teams in with a good chance of winning the Scudetto, however Capello thinks that AC Milan are this season’s favorites. The English manager stated that “Ronaldinho has found the ideal environment to be reborn,” said Capello.

“Now it is Milan for the Scudetto. Fiorentina are not yet ready, but they are the team who intrigue me most and they can finish near the top of the league.

“Juve have good balance, are strong in all departments, and Poulsen is a good addition.

“Totti has reason to say that Roma need some more acquisitions. Mutu would have been perfect.

“The player who could explode this season is Cassano, but it depends on him. We must give time to Mourinho. With arrival of Ronaldinho AC Milan and Carlo Ancelotti are in with a great chance at the Serie A title but can they rise to the occasion?
