CSKA 1948 talents Simeon and Viktor Vasilevi are the new twins in Bulgarian football. They were born on October 24, 2005. They take their first steps in the “Tigers”, followed by 7 years in the clubola of Levski, where they are the main players in the formations they play for.
Victor is even the captain, he scores a lot of goals, including two in CSKA’s goal, which brought the cup to the “blues”. He is a midfielder, and Simeon – a left back, who has already established himself in the starting line-up of CSKA 1948 and in the youth national team.
They are from Sofia, they continue to live in “Suhata Reka” next to the stadium of their home club Levski.
The twins told more about themselves in front of the BLITZ Live camera:
“I am very happy at CSKA 1948. I thank the management for the chance to make my debut, especially the boss,” Viktor began.
“It’s not easy, but with hard work and perseverance, everything works out. And above all, you have to believe in God. There is still something to work on – defensively, on technique, and on speed,” commented Simeon.
They start with football at the “Tigers” school, followed by 7 years in Levski. However, they decided to leave “Gerena” and continue in CSKA 1948. They explained what made them take the important step for their future. (2:00 min.)
“We are twins, but we are different. Victor likes to go out with his girlfriend, to have a relationship, while I am more into entertainment,” said Simeon about his brother.
“He doesn’t like relationships, he goes out with girls, with friends. I feel better when I’m in a relationship, I’m calmer. For half a yearand I have a boyfriend, his name is Danaya. I feel very good with her. It gives me peace of mind, always supports me,” commented Viktor and told how he introduced his teammate Rosen Bozhinov to grace from the rhythmic gymnastics ensemble Rachel Stoyanov. (3:48 min.)
Simeon sympathizes with Real (Madrid) – “I emulate the left back Marcelo and Ronaldo. I like Hristo Stoichkov and Berbatov, they were very good footballers” (5:30 min.)
Viktor is a fan of Borussia (Dortmund), he visited “Signal Iduna Park” as a child (6:20 min.)
“I want to play in the Efbet League, gain experience, I’m ready. Then move abroad. We’ve been playing together since we were little, we know who moves where. Together we can play very well and come up with a lot of things,” Viktor explained. (6:50 min.)
“We like to go fishing, sometimes we also sleep in tents on the dams – Kostenets, Ognyanovo… This is our hobby. We love the mountains, we climb peaks. We often go with our parents. We have climbed Cherni vrah, Botev, the Rila lakes, we have gone everywhere. We really want to climb Mt. Musala. If we see a bear, we will try to escape from it,” said the talents. (7:27 min.)
“We achieved a very important victory”, Simeon Vasilev is satisfied. (10:00 min.)
“We study at the 57th Sports School “St. Naum Ohridski”, individually. We are preparing for matriculation, we attend Bulgarian language lessons. Whoever knows more – suggests to the other. We were not caught copying”, the twins said, and Simeon added: “We are fine – fours, fives, we spin sixes now and then”. (11:00 min.)
“Who doesn’t love shiny cars? There’s a time for everything. We’re not dying to have shiny cars. Everything in its time. With hard work and perseverance, we’ll also buy shoddy cars,” said Simeon. (12:10 min.)
“We learn from Radi Kirilov, Ivaylo Chochev, Birsent Karagaren, Emil Viachki, Reyan Daskalov. The big ones help us a lot,” added the youth international. (13:15 min.)

What are their most memorable moments so far in their careers. (14:20 min.)
