Christian Koulouvaris gets the ball back from a forward in one of the pre-season games in Europe 

After some strong performances in pre-season games at FC Hard in Austria, Christian Koulouvaris of Schulz Academy’s PDL team is offered a contract in the next transfer window in January.

“The games in the PDL helped me a lot to get prepared. Although the level was very high at the practices and matches, I felt comfortable in the games here. Austria is a beautiful country, and I would love to start my professional career there. The people are extremely nice. I will continue practicing and playing for Schulz Academy till January and then probably move to Austria”, says Christian Koulouvaris, who returned to Florida this week.

“These kind of opportunities are very important for young players, because they are able to adjust from youth to adult soccer in a professional environment. We can give them the opportunity, but at the end they need take advantage of this chance and go with it. Bopu is a fighter, and I am sure he will work his way up.
