Stefan Bajcetic has signed a new contract at the club and spoke to the club website about his connection to Thiago. The pair's father had played alongside each other at Celta Vigo back in the 90s.
"It’s a crazy story because we played in the same very, very little academy back in Vigo, the city where I was born," Bajcetic said.
"When I told him [Thiago] I played in this academy, he was like, “Wow!”. It’s unbelievable, this story. I think my dad hasn’t talked with his dad but it’s crazy to think about how small that town was and look at where we are now."
On the subject of senior players helping the youngsters, he added: "Yeah, not only Thiago but Millie [Milner] as well helps me a lot.
"He’s like a coach inside the changing room and he always gives me some tips and tries to help me all the time. That’s very helpful for me.
"They were all very good with me, always encouraging me. I settled very well in the changing room, I think.
"All the young ones as well try to talk to me and the Spanish-talking people always try to help me. That was very important for me and gave me massive confidence."
