Oddo: It's our fault
Wednesday 23 April, 2008

Milan defender Massimo Oddo has admitted that the Rossoneri have only themselves to blame for their disappointing season.

The Club World Cup holders were knocked out of Europe in March and are struggling to qualify for next year's edition of the Champions League.

“It's our fault,” confessed Oddo, pointing out the Diavolo's disastrous home form as a reason why they are four points adrift of fourth place Fiorentina with four games to go.

“We have only won six times at San Siro - that's relegation form. This makes me think that we have not been able to exploit home advantage.”

Milan have the second best away record in the League, winning on three more occasions than fourth-place Fiorentina, but the Viola have notched up five more victories than the Rossoneri in front of their own fans.

“The teams we face tend to close us down and we have not been successful in finding a way to unhinge their defences,” mused the right-back.

Oddo also refused to blame referees for the Rossoneri's current position, acknowledging that players are not above reproach themselves.

“They haven't killed us, but they have played their part,” he moaned. “They have made mistakes, as have we.”

Milan face Livorno in Tuscany on Sunday and still have to take on Inter, Napoli and Udinese to complete the campaign.

Oddo is right we always had problems in opening up the defences that closes down well,its because of many factors.

Kaka is less decisive when he doesnt find enough space.
-Oddo had a dissapointing season considering he was one of main factors for 2007 CL cup.
-Favalli,he gaves a hole to rival teams on his wing,he returns late from attacks,he is serie C class.
-we cant provide width from left wing as Marek plays in 40-45 metres,also considering his crosses are disaster,we only got one time enough service from left wing,5-1 samp game,as Serginho assisted 1-2 goals and provided width from lett wing.
-we are scoring little from corners and freekicks.
-Our most tecnical players before Pato comes are Seedorf and Pirlo,Pirlo plays in CM role,this is why his effect is little,Seedorf doesnt have continuity and very inconsistent.
-2DM is too much for small sides.
