A Bulgarian soccer legend, Spas Dzhevizov said that he has never seen a bigger talent before. The current coach of Borussia Dortmund stated that Aleksandrov has the ability to become a big football player in the future and that he has amazing skills for his age (18 years).In the end of April 2008 the Bulgarian National Team (U-19),where Aleksandrov is 6 years captain, had quallified for the European finals for the first time in 20 years and he already left his name with golden letters into the Bulgarian Football History.Mihail Aleksandrov is in the top 10 young football players for the Euro 2008 U-19 in Czech Republic with Sukuta-Pasu(Germany),Nsereko(Germany),Koman(Hungary),Fran Merida(Spain),Ben Mee (England),Tomáš Necid (Czech Republic),Stefano Okaka Cuka (Italy),Kyriakos Papadopoulos (Greece) and Silvano Raggio (Italy).Uefa's scouts pick the bulgarian future football-star,because he "worked tirelessly for the cause, ostensibly occupying a left-hand side role but in reality covering tirelessly across the midfield and probing for openings. Clever in possession and never lost heart." [ [http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=377332 Aleksandrov Set For Dortmund Switch] ]
