Who knows what made him attracted to the young Hungarian talent? Maybe the precise left foot, Theo-style offensive nature, or the easy dribbling despite being a fullback. Perhaps all three qualities... But when Geoffrey Moncada bets on a youngster he rarely misses.
The latest is that Milos Kerkez, a 17-year-old Hungarian born in Serbia joined Milan. Left-footed full-back who is fast and technical. He was signed immediately: A Milan blitz on the last market day. Especially in a role where there is still no deputy Theo (unless you use with Diogo Dalot), the boy's agent, Daniel Kaposi, revealed the Rossoneri's plan: "They told us he can be considered for the first team." Let's Keep an eye on the future.
What can Milos Kerkez do? This year he played 18 games in Hungarian Serie B, providing 2 assists. It was his first season as a 'pro'. The coach, Sandor Csato, after a couple of benches promoted him to being a starter and he did not disappoint. Mid-table championship, Gyor is ninth, but he was still noticed. Features: good technique, often seeking dribbling and always looks for a chance to deliver crosses.
Federico Giunti, Milan's Primavera coach, will have to be tactically informed about him. Kerkez will start there. Although before dreaming, he will have to learn the Italian style of football: if you look for a video about him you will find all offensive actions, which is his nature. He must learn the defensive phase more.
At 14 he passed an audition in Vienna to enter SK Rapid Wien. There were about a hundred boys, they only selected two. Milos was one of them, but after a few months, Gyor signed him.
It was the right choice to go to Gyor. Like going to Milan at the invitation of Maldini: "Learning from the best ever and from Theo, who is an excellence in the role today, is the dream of all full-backs". Even if as a child he cheered for Juventus ("but this will now have to change", he laughs). Born in Serbia, raised in Hungary, he has no doubts about which national team to choose when he gets the call-ups. "I want to play for Hungary, I owe it to Gyor."
