"Everyone thinks I am forty years old because I have been playing for a lifetime... But I am still young." This is all true as Valeri Bojinov was born in '86, and made his debut in Serie A at the age of 15. He never fully arrived at his potential despite not lacking opportunities like the one he had at Juventus. However, Bojinov fondly remembers his time at Juve:
"Nedved was like a brother to me," claimed the former attacker to La Gazzetta Dello Sport. "I spent a year with him, and never imagined that he would become vice president, given that I thought he would never stop playing as he trained three times a day. One time we went on a winter vacation together: we had an appointment; he did not arrive, and told me, "sorry, I was training." He practically adopted me. He is a great person, and a winner. Buffon? He is and will always be a legend. At least five teams wanted him when Juve went down to Serie B. I believe Chelsea was one of the teams interested, but he stayed. One time he told me: 'Valeri, it is difficult to stay at Juventus, but it is even more difficult to come back after leaving.' He stayed. I ended up leaving."
In conclusion, Bojinov spoke about Milenkovic and Juve's chances in the Champions League, "Nikola Milenkovic? There are many young, talented players like him with us: him, Mihajlovic, Vlahovic. But for him, Milenkovic, I believe it only lacks being official. I think it is practically done for June. Champions? It was time for Allegri to adopt a formation that incorporated all of those great strikers. Because Juventus has all of those champions, you must let them play in order to demonstrate who you are. Can they win the Champions? The players are there."
