Oddo: Two Years Of Work Wasted By Donadoni
Milan defender Massimo Oddo insists that all his hard work has been wasted after Roberto Donadoni left him out of the Italy squad for Euro 2008.

The Azzurri coach announced his provisional 24 on Tuesday afternoon and there were a few surprises.
However, Oddo received a surprise he didn’t expect and he is disappointed with the former Milan midfielder’s decision to leave him out.
“Two years of sacrifices have been completed wasted within the space of just a few weeks,” Oddo told TMW
“It really burns me inside at having been excluded from the squad and to be honest I never expected it.
“Two years of sustained availability and responsibility have gone up in smoke.
“I could have easily reached a good level with just weeks to go before the Euros.
“I was expecting, at the very least, a survey of my fitness by the coach before making a decision like this given the fact that trust and consideration should come first to Donadoni.”
Antonio Cassano was the surprise inclusion in Donadoni’s side, but one of the 24 players will be sent home when the final 23 is submitted to UEFA next week.
