Milan in favour of zero tolerance

Carlo Ancelotti and his Milan squad believe the key to beating fan violence is a zero tolerance policy.

"We need to go to the source of the problem and set out rules that will really frighten them," said Massimo Oddo, no stranger to the Ultras after years at Lazio.

"Whoever commits these crimes tends to get arrested and then released the same day. If things remain the same, then of course these pseudo-fans will never be afraid and continue to behave this way."

Coach Ancelotti took an even harder line on the tifosi after a policeman was killed during rioting outside Catania’s Stadio Massimino on Friday.

"I think that above all else we need to implement a zero tolerance policy," noted the tactician. "The police have to be given extra powers."

Although there are also crowd problems in Brazil, Kaka concedes he has no answers for the Italian troubles.

"I am not the right person to say how we are supposed to get out of this situation, but I do hope there will be some strong changes, because we cannot carry on like this."
