| Maicon rages at Adri suspension |

Inter defender Douglas Maicon has blasted the decision to ban Adriano for three games for striking Daniele Gastaldello last Sunday.
Adriano scored the decisive goal against Sampdoria in the Nerazzurri's 1-0 win at San Siro.
But L'Imperatore's achievement was overshadowed by video evidence that showed the Brazilian hitting Gastaldello while the two men jockeyed for position before a corner - an offence that has led to a three-match suspension.
“So many things happen during corners, maybe every player should be suspended,” Maicon said sarcastically on Telelombardia.
“I feel sorry for Adriano because he was working well for the team and this ban has come at a bad time.
“Adri must hold his head up high because he is a great player and we know that he will be dangerous when he comes back.”
Maicon also gave his view on Press reports that Coach Jose Mourinho has sworn at his side in the dressing room on several occasions this term.
“I've never seen anything like this,” Maicon said. “We are top of the table but we lose one game and everything is supposed to be falling apart.
“I have never heard Mourinho say any of the things that have been reported in the media.”
