From Milan to … Milan, Edon’s journey from Kosovo to Stadium
It was 2012 and a very young Edon Zhegrova wore a Milan shirt, shaking one of those trophies that win as a child but you remember forever. In Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, a Milan Camp in which he participated thirteen years ago a little changed his life. And he made him fall in love even more of Italian football, who was already following every Sunday from home and in which he found himself just over a decade later. Of Rossonero now only the memories remain, the present is all Juventus, but the big match of the Stadium will perhaps make that parenthesis return to Zhegrova Milanist; While the desire to take the lady will allow the wing to get even more on display in the eyes of a Tudor who will soon be able to have its quality one hundred percent available. The long injury certainly did not help him to have a strong or immediate impact on the championship (and the Champions League) of the Bianconeri.
At San Siro with Kakà and Pato
–
Time at the time. Edon knows the art of patience. He has already practiced it. And he knows that sometimes the best occasions come to the last second, as happened for his transfer to Inter from Lilla (the last day of the market) and for that famous participation in Milan Camp thirteen years ago that approached him for the first time to Italian football for real. “For more than a week, two hundred young players had been invited to take tests. I had known about the existence of that Camp only at the last moment. I really arrived on the wire, I had to dress quickly while the other children were ready – he said years ago -. It was quite fun because I recorded myself last in the list, but at the end I arrived first among all the participants”. And again: “Together with other players of this camp, I was invited by the club to visit San Siro. I keep the memory of a good experience, I lived a dream. When you are 12 years old, you live in Kosovo and you find yourself in Milan, it is incredible. My family was really happy for me, I still see my mother with tears in my eyes. I was able to meet the clubs of the club like Kakà and Pato and assist a game against Chievo”. Memories that remain, from Milan to … Milan.
