MILANELLO – This is what the Primavera’s Michael Fabbro had to say to the Milan Channel ahead of Udinese-Milan this weekend:"Udinese and Atalanta? All the teams now are good sides, especially the ones we face in the final matches and the play-offs where sides give their all against Milan. We need to play with a clear mind, fight one match at a time and bring home the results in order to challenge for second place, which is vital for access to the Final Eight.We’ve now got two fundamental matches. Udinese are a tough team especially at their ground and then we have to prepare well against Atalanta because it will be the most important game of the year. Udinese are playing to get into the play-offs, but there is more at stake for us. We can’t fail; the objective is to win both matches.This year we’ve unfortunately had lots of injuries, especially in the attacking department. We should recover a few for the finals. I’m more than ready for Sunday. We’ll try and do our very best. El Shaarawy is an excellent footballer, it’s clear that he’s above the rest. It’s an honour for me to train by his side and I’ll try and learn a lot from him."
