Palermo Missed Out On A Great Player - Oddo

Bayern Munich full back Massimo Oddo talked to Mediagol about his team-mate Ernesto Sosa, who had been close to joining Palermo, until problems with his passport halted the move. According to the World Cup winner, the Rosanero have missed out on a major player.

"Sosa is a player of absolute value," he said," he showed his talent when he played in Argentina, where he allowed his team to make a jump in quality with excellent performances, obtaining great results, and then he arrived here, in a great team like ours.

"Unfortunately his integration wasn't easy, because being very young, he had important and confirmed players in front of him, and he didn't get much chances to play, but I can assure you he is a very good player with considerable technical qualities."

Oddo continued to sing the praises of the 23-year-old midfielder, saying: "He has both athletic and technical gifts, he can certainly play as a winger in a four-man midfield, but he can also play in the middle of a three-man midfield, and also in a more advanced position. He's very versatile."

The Italian full back moved to Bayern Munich on loan last summer from AC Milan. He has managed to win a spot in the team along with fellow World Cup winner Luca Toni, making 12 Bundesliga appearances so far.
