EFA Lions in Milan, Italy
Written by  Amarildo Shaqiri

A few lions crossed the pond to attend the Milan Junior Camp in Italy. In attendance a few old players from AC Milan and a few of their Academy coaches. Our director was on hand to make sure the lions tried their hardest. The players made themselves stand out. Two of them were identified for further trials. On the second last day Michele Ferraris the Academy Director for AC Milan met with our director. He expressed sorrow at how his attempt at opening an Academy in Toronto had failed due to attracting all the wrong types of players. Once he saw our talented players from Eurostar he was pleased to see that there was some coaches in Canada who were able to teach soccer the proper way. Both directors exchanged pleasantries and promises to work together for the improvement of soccer in their respective countries.

EFA Director Luka Shaqiri also travelled to Venice for a 2 day vacation and south to Atri to meet with Antonio Di Musciano who runs the Atri Tournament. He is also someone of note in Italian soccer having worked in youth soccer there for most of his life. Luka then went to visit some family who took him out only to feed him the most gigantic fish I have ever seen (check the photo). After this he went north west to the province of Lazio and the city of Frosinone to meet with the executive director of Frosinone. They have been a dominant force in second division soccer in Italy as of yet, however their Academy has made more waves then their main team who was just relegated to third division (Lega Pro). What transpired there I will leave for another story to be published soon. After the meetings at Frosinone Luka and his wife made for Rome and then the airport to make their way back to London, Ontario.
