Seedorf out of Arsenal clashCarlo Ancelotti admits Milan aren’t at their best right now and Clarence Seedorf is out of action against Arsenal.
“I am only worried by the fact we are going into a match with a very strong team in what is not our best form,†said the Coach after their 1-1 draw with Lazio.
It was a second consecutive Serie A stalemate after the midweek 1-1 at Catania and Massimo Oddo’s penalty was needed to fight back from a Rolando Bianchi opener.
The first half performance in particular was very poor and the tempo was kept sluggishly slow.
“I have to say, though, that I don’t see teams in Italy and Europe who are much sharper than we are at the moment.â€
During this evening’s encounter Seedorf went off with a thigh problem in the first half and Ancelotti confirmed the Dutchman would not be available for Tuesday’s encounter with Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Lazio President Claudio Lotito – still the only member of the club who will speak to the media – complained that the penalty incident was unfair.
“I saw that at least four Milan corner kicks should have been retaken because the ball was outside the line and that includes the one that led to Oddo’s equaliser.
“We deserved to win, especially considering all the chances we had at the start of the second half. Milan only avoided defeat thanks to Zeljko Kalac’s great saves. He was decisive.â€
