Oddo becomes Captain
Quote:
Oddo proud to be captain
Monday 11 September, 2006
Italian international Massimo Oddo says he’s honoured to have been named as the new Lazio captain.
“I am proud of the armband and I will do all I can to honour it, despite our 2-1 defeat against Milan,” stated the stopper.
“I thought that we played an excellent game, aside from the final result, we could have done better if we had kept our cool and showed our personality, but we proved we are a good team.”
Oddo was paired with a move to Milan during the summer, but no transfer fee was agreed for the attacking full-back.
“Playing against Milan was very motivating for me, I was a Lazio player who gave all he could for his team,” said the world champion.
“After all that happened this summer I am glad to be here, I can now look ahead and I know my future is here,” continued Oddo, who was valued at £8m by Lazio chief Claudio Lotito.
The former Verona player was also asked to clarify his position after he criticised Francesco Totti’s decision to wait until 2007 before making a final choice over his proposed international future.
“I only expressed my opinion,” stated the former Milan youth product. “The Nazionale is something sacred for me and I would never give up on wearing the Azzurri jersey.
“I had no intention of attacking the player,” noted Oddo. “But it needs to be a final decision, one that Totti is sure of.”
