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.

Ronaldinho gets number 80 shirt

After a fracas with new teammate Clarence Seedorf over the number 10 shirt and fellow Brazilian Leonardo’s failure to convince the Dutch international to relinquish his number 10 shirt; new Milan idol Ronaldinho has settled for a less than conventional squad number.

Seedorf was reported as saying that Ronaldinho is not needed at the club and the Dutch veteran is not willing to give up the number he has played in for most of his Milan career and this has sparked the first murmurs of unrest in the Milan camp but instead of taking the vacant number 11 shirt that was left by the departure of Alberto Gillardino to Fiorentina; the Brazilian maestro has gone for the unconventional number 80.

The rationale behind the choice for the number is the fact that Ronaldinho, or little Ronaldo, was born in 1980.
