In view of an important end to the season to be approached with maximum focus, with the Milan Primavera team fighting to secure a spot in the Playoffs, the number 10 of Guidi’s team, Mattia Liberali, was interviewed by Milan TV. These were his words to the club’s official channels
It’s been quite an eventful season, but let’s say I’ve managed to make some dreams come true. Hopefully, it ends well.”
“Surely, I want to help the team succeed in reaching the playoffs, which we deserve and have been working towards together since the beginning of the year. Everyone’s help will be very important, and the group must stay united.”
“I’ve learned to adapt to different situations; it’s given me a lot of experience on multiple levels. Obviously, I’ve faced both players older than me and those my age. It gave me a lot of experience
“I get along very well with my teammates, as well as with the coach and the staff in general. The group is very united; we’re all heading in the same direction. So it’s a solid group, aware of its potential, and with a single objective
We have to keep doing what we did in the last two games — being united, running for each other. The playoffs aren’t far away; we can definitely make it. If we put in what we’ve been putting in recently, we can do it.
They’re an experienced team, and playing at their home isn’t easy, but I think that if we perform like we did against Lazio in Formello, we can definitely do it.”
“It was a dream come true — one I’ve had since I was a child, ever since I first stepped on the pitch at Vismara with Milan. Let’s say that at first, I didn’t fully grasp it, then with time it sinks in. It’s something words can’t explain. I have to thank everyone who was close to me before the match, like Florenzi, who helped me a lot. But really, all the teammates, the staff, and Fonseca above all.”
“I got very emotional. You don’t expect it — the Milan Curva singing a chant for you during the warm-up. It was wonderful.”
