Lotito continues Oddo battle Friday 19 January, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lazio chief Claudio Lotito insists that Massimo Oddo is not for sale and will fight for a new Federal rule to protect clubs.
The World Cup winning defender is keen on leaving the Biancocelesti and the latest rumours suggested that his move to Milan was close, as Coach Delio Rossi was set to exclude him from Sunday evening’s match against the Rossoneri.
“Someone said that Oddo will not play? That is totally untrue,” said a fuming Lotito on Friday.
“I am the only reliable source when you speak about Lazio, any other person knows nothing.
“The player is not for sale. Furthermore, he is a target for one of our direct competitors, which makes things even worse. Therefore, we have to understand if there are any alternatives and if they could integrate into the team from a tactical, moral and psychological point of view.
“In any case, only the Coach can decide if he will play tomorrow or not.”
The fiery patron believes that the clubs are not protected enough, as he thinks that it is fairly easy for players to leave if they decide not to honour their contracts.
“I plan to fight within the Federation, as I would like a rule stating the value of the deals the players sign. At the time being, it seems to me that they are important only for the clubs.
“If a player decides to leave, he can start to complain and will not give his all on the pitch, making the club feel that it is better to let him leave. Things would change if players were forced to pay a high penalty and not play for one or two seasons.”
Lotito then moved on to comment on the match with Milan, which he is aware will not be an easy one.
“The Rossoneri are a strong side. We have built a good team which we hope will do better than last year, but we still haven’t reaped what we sowed,” concluded the President.
