Brazil full-back Maicon said he is being mistreated at Inter Milan, whilst teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic is getting a royal treatment.

"I am not a phenomenon, but I am not any old player either," Maicon said in an lengthy interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

"For three years Inter have treated me with indifference, perhaps, because they are all worried about satisfying Ibrahimovic.

"New contracts, special prizes... I am not jealous of Ibra. He is a phenomenon. This is not the problem. I am tired of being mistreated."

Maicon, who played a key role in the Nerazzurri's Scudetto triumph last season, implied that a San Siro exit might be around the corner for him.

"I quickly said that I would willingly stay with Inter to win the blessed Champions League. As you see, I have made all the good actions," he added.

"From the club I have only heard silence. The attitude makes me suffer.

"I asked my agent Antonio Caliendo to do everything possible to make me happy again. I am looking for happiness at Inter or another club."

Medical staff

Maicon sustained the criticism to his club, blaming the medical staff for dealing poorly with his fitness.

Following the notion of Brazil mate and AC Milan star Ronaldinho, Maicon indicated that the Selecao doctors are more competent than their Italian counterparts.

"Brazil's medical staff quickly understood my physical problems," the 27-year-old, who is currently on international duty, added.

"I improved more in the past seven days on international duty than in the last two months at Inter."

Brazil will host Paraguay on Wednesday in a World Cup qualifier, before taking on Egypt in the FIFA Confederations Cup next week.
