The young Bulgarian defender Valeri Vladimirov will play for the second team of the giant Milan in the new season in Italy, and not for the youth formation, the Il Salotto Rossonero website reported, BTA reported.
Milan Futuro - as the second team of the Rossoneri is called, was relegated from Serie C last season and will compete in Serie D - stream B from the fall. After the inclusion of the second teams of the Italian giants in the league pyramid, the competition has become very strong. For example, in Serie C there are the duplicate squads of Inter, Atalanta and Juventus, while Milan's was relegated from Serie C after losing in the play-offs 0:2 to SPAL (Ferrara).
Born on June 4, 2008 in Plovdiv, the strong defender arrived at Milan's academy from Botev (Plovdiv) last summer and in his first campaign recorded 30 matches at youth level, in which he scored 1 goal and provided one assist. Including this, he has two matches for the larger 2007 set, as well as sitting on the bench of the second team several times. And now he has been training with Milan Futuro all summer and has earned the trust of coach Massimo Oddo, who will use him in the championship.
Vladimirov has been a Bulgarian national team player in all youth ages so far.
