Staying calm; that seems to be Veljkovic’s strength. "Milos is a cool kid, very mature for his age and performs very consistently. He’s definitely among the most talented players of his age group," said sporting director Thomas Eichin praising the 18 and 29 minute appearances for the Serbia youth international against Leverkusen and Hannover. According to the original plan, the midfielder was only supposed to join the senior team in the summer, but with his "very good performances for the U23s, he earned himself a place in the Bundesliga squad," said Eichin.
Veljkovic described the short appearances in the league as "very good. I want to keep learning more and more and get used to the standard," he said. His free-time activities have been short so far as well, but still: Along with family and friends, Veljkovic has been able to explore the city centre. Of course, Bremen cannot be compared to his previous place of residence London. But it doesn’t need to compared, be in his opinion. "There are lots of nice little restaurants and cafes. Bremen is just a very cosy town where you can easily go out with your friends," said the Swiss-born ‘new Bremer’.
