AC Milan boss Seedorf explains dropping Balotelli for Lazio draw

AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf admits he dropped Mario Balotelli for their 1-1 draw against Lazio.

Giampaolo Pazzini started the match rather than Balotelli, who did come on during the second half.

"I thought Pazzini could give us something more for this game due to his characteristics. I simply chose the side I thought could hurt the opponents more.

"I firmly believed we could surprise Lazio and I put on another striker, but unfortunately the equaliser came and the result remained like that."
