So not leaving the club and letting someone else take his place constitutes disloyalty to Milan?

Incredibly nonsensical post.

if you are no fucking helpfull for your team then why would make the team not to proceed forward.

awful player

but not much we could if he refused to leave.

OUR STRENGTH
10/14/2009 5:46:00 PM

'Our strength has always been that of coming back from difficult moments and we'll do it again.' Massimo Oddo approaches Milan-Roma like that, for him it's like a derby: 'Win for the morale and the points.'

MILANELLO - The interview of the day, at Milanello, was given to Massimo Oddo. The defender, speaking to Milan Channel, came back on the charity friendly played in Pescara on Saturday night. Then he talked about the Rossoneri's moment ahead of Milan-Roma, and not only that. Here are the themes:

THE FRIENDLY IN PESCARA
"It was a great initiative, to which my association, A.M.O. (Association Massimo Oddo Onlus) and Fondazione Milan participated, giving us a big hand to organise the match. The aim of the evening was to reconstruct the 'Celestino V' cantine for the poor in L'Aquila, which was destroyed by the earthquake. Many champions of the past participated and it was a great destive occasion in every way.'

THE WORK DURING THE BREAK AND THE MATCH AGAINST ROMA
'Every training is useful to improve. Until now it's been a very intense week and a half which has given us the opportunity the prepare many things and work well on the pitch both athletically and on a technical-tactical level. Let's hope we get to our next match, on Sunday against Roma, in the right shape.'

'A victory on Sunday would be good for the morale, for the points and everything else... We can't hide behind the fact we are in a moment of difficulty. There are many champions in the team and many great players. I'm sure we'll manage to get out of this uneasy period and make ourselves up for a more rosey future.'
'Milan-Roma is like a derby? At Lazio I spent five very important years for me and my career. At the time playing against the Giallorossi was always a special occasion. It's certainly a different match for me now.'

THE OFFENSIVE PHASE AND THE FEW GOALS SCORED
'I don't think it's right to single out one specific blame. If the attack struggles to score goals it's because it isn't adequately supported by the midfield and the attack. Viceversa, at the same time, when the defence concedes a lot of goals it's never just the fault of the defenders. It's a problem of the team. Football isn't an individual individual sport. When things don't go well the blame has to be spread equally. Our strength has always been to get out of difficult moments and we will do it again.'

But we dont have to put the blame on Oddo.
We have to blame the one that put this decision on his hands.

A new coach arrive and said "i dont wanna work with this, this and this player.."

Is not Oddo who has to decide.

Something is really wrong in Milanelo.

Oddo like anyone else in his place saw that no other team was going to pay him as good as Milan, and if he wanted to go to another team he would've had to go to small team or a team in a not so fancy league in Europe, his over 30 people, his at the end of his career, he wants to secure his future...he has every right to stay in Milan (contract), and he ain't the one at fault for this, it's the people in charge that gave him that contract.

I Have Never Been Close To Rejoining Lazio – Milan’s Massimo Oddo
The Rossoneri defender has discussed how he has not considered a return to his former club.

Oct 17, 2009 2:00:12 AM

Massimo Oddo returned to Italy this season, following a one-year loan stint with the German giants Bayern Munich.

The defender joined Milan from Lazio back in 2007, a club where he captained, and made 135 appearances for in a five year period.

Having struggled to hold down a spot in the first team in his time at Milan though, the former Biancocelesti skipper has been continually linked with a move back to the Italian capital; however in a recent interview he denied these claims by suggesting that he has never been close to returning.

“In the summer, it was reported that Milan were keen to sell me at any cost, so people started saying that I was going back to Lazio,” Oddo explained to Radio Incontro.

“This was more the work of the media and the newspapers though, as I have never been in solid contact with the president, or anyone else associated with them.

“I’m happy here, and I will work hard to find my position at the club.”

Oddo’s team are set to meet Roma this weekend, in a crucial clash at the San Siro stadium.

tbh neville can't cross but he's defensively good. i'll take o'shea anytime anywhere over oddo, this guy is versatile and seems to always score in important matches. zebina was once pretty good back in his prime. cassetti? don't know much about him but i doubt he's worse than oddo who makes 2-3 decent crosses in season. arbeloa is young and still can improve

It's all relative. Our fullbacks and midfielders have the same problem. One day Oddo sucks and Zambrotta or Janku looks semi decent. Other day Oddo looks decent and Zambrotta sucks. Our fullbacks have become too old for us to expect any consistency. Better get 2 new ones soon. 1 in winter and 1 in summer . ( unless Abate finds his feet as RB). Can't even imagine any one of the 3 playing next year wen they will be one more year older and slower.

100%, people praise player if he did one good game and forget his terrible mistakes in previous games, it become really silly.

I loved Oddo when he was at Lazio and with US tell 2008, he used to be monster, then his level comes down dramatically without making an effort to fix his self and be more serious in his training.

I know.. but before this we have to find a style to play. We dont have one yet.

Whatever is the style, isn't these 2 positions a requirement unless we play with stlyes we rarely use like 3 CBs at the back with a sweeper etc. ?

For sure Leo wants new SBs.. specially the ones able to play in attack like Maldonado and Rafinha...

We should have got Aly. He's proving to be better than those two combined.

But of course, they have the letters a, l, d, o and i, n, h in succession in their names ... so they are better

I am 100% behind this principle and look forward to the signings of Aldous Huxley and Ho Chi Minh as Milan's new full backs

Do they have weird teeth?

Maybe thats too harsh ... lets say, a feature of their mouth/teeth that isn't proportional to the rest of their face/mouth?

No, fortunately they both appear to have had perfectly normal teeth. And Ho Chi Minh had an outstanding beard and has a city named after him, which arguably qualifies him as a champion.

Why couldn't Oddo have a bad tooth problem as a result of beer consumption in Germany?

LOL, is because is treating in Milan Lab

Oddo deserves credit for his performance against Madrid, great defensive display controlling Kaká and Marcelo. If he doesn't try to go forward he can do well.

sad to say it, but i agree..oddo did put in a semi-solid performance in against R.madrid..i will say this though, it has been one of the few games he has acttually looked somewhat good in..

Give Oddo credit he was great.

Oddo is adecent defender & pretty athletic which helps his defending.

Milan's Massimo Oddo Happy To Be Returning To Form
The Rossoneri defender has found a good patch of form, and wants to keep on playing like this...

Milan defender Massimo Oddo has spoken about his return to form, and to the Rossoneri starting XI.

Unsure of his future during the summer, he now knows where he stands at the club.

"It is a reward for all the hard work I have put in, and am proud of it," the 33-year-old told Radio Gol.

"I didn't know if I was going to remain [at Milan] or not.

"It was clear that I wanted to demostrate my talents, and am working hard and putting in a lot of effort.

"And I still haven't reached the pinnacle of my career, but am happy they are rewarding me," the Italian international concluded.

The Diavoli take on Napoli on Wednesday night, at the San Paolo stadium.
