Chapter 328 Chapter [018] - Future Superstar - [Today's Second Update]
After confirming the big list, those unselected players left very lonely.
After the sentimental atmosphere sent him already familiar with his teammates, the team had a day off, and the team asked the players to go back and reunite with their families and so on.Then after the holiday, they collectively flew to Sweden, where the U21 European Cup is held.
The U21 European Cup is also called the European U21 Youth Football Championship, referred to as the U21 European Youth Championship. The U21 European Youth Championship is held every two years, and it was held in even-numbered years before 2. The 2007 European Youth Championship was the last European Youth Championship held in even-numbered years.Beginning in 2006, the final stage of the U-2007 European Youth Championship will be held in odd-numbered years instead of even-numbered years.The final stage is still held every two years.The reason for this change is to avoid a collision with the European Cup and the World Cup, affecting some young talents to participate in more important adult competitions.
The first European Under-21 Football Championship appeared in 1978 and has since been fixed as a regular event. More than 25000 spectators gathered at the Bregen Stadium in Mostar, Bosnia, to see if the home team, Yugoslavia, could keep their 1-0 lead in the first round. Their opponent was East Germany, and the audience was not disappointed. 4 ahead of their opponents and won the first European Championship under the age of 4.
The competition has been running as expected, with Europe's most promising youngsters giving European football a chance to realize their potential. In the 2000 final, Pirlo's free kick made him famous. Two years later, Petr Cech's magical save helped the Czech Republic win the championship. Many stars shining in today's football world showed their strength for the first time in this game, and then overcame difficulties for the club and the national team.
The format of the competition has changed and changed over the years, but the purpose of the competition remains the same: to provide a springboard for young players to reach the international stage.The roster that includes many great players is a testament to the success of this tournament. They have all achieved success in the big European clubs in the future, including Roberto Mancini, Zidane, Voller, Dave Suker, Figo, Raul, Lampard.
Today's prestigious 8-team final stage game has aroused worldwide cheers. Compared with UEFA's first publicity of the idea of holding this event, its reputation has grown a lot. UEFA's later idea was "National National Under-23 National Team Challenge". At that time, 17 member countries signed. Bulgaria won their first championship with a 1967-6 victory over their opponents.Afterwards, just like defending the boxing title, Bulgaria had to face challenges from other countries. After Bulgaria, Yugoslavia won this honor and kept it for some years. This challenge is the prototype of today's championship.
It was not until 1876 that the competition age was adjusted to under 21 because UEFA felt that the gap between 18 and 23 was too large.Since then, the mode of the challenge has been abandoned and changed to group qualifiers. After the quarter-finals, it has become a knockout round. Yugoslavia won the first championship as the winner of the challenge era, but in the following years, Italy gradually became a strong player in this competition.
Italy won the title for the first time in 1992, and successfully defended it two years later. It was the first time that the semi-finals and the final were played as a tiebreaker. In the final in Montpellier, Orlandini scored a goal in extra time. Expanded to 1 teams for the first time in the final stage of Romania in 1998, the presence of Spain prevented Italy from continuing to win the championship, but the Italians made a comeback in 8, which was also the year that the group stage format was introduced to this tournament.The teams that have won the championship in history include the Czech Republic, the Soviet Union, France, England and the Netherlands. Among them, the Netherlands won the championship for the first time in Portugal in 2000.
The Italian U21 national team can be said to be the overlord of this event. Their status in this event is equivalent to Brazil's status in the World Cup.The Italian U21 national team has won the U21 European Cup five times, and Zeng Jin has won the championship three times in a row.
This year's Italian U21 national team is the team with the highest hopes of winning the championship. Their strength in the qualifiers and their almost unbeaten record approached the finals, which surprised European football.Of course, this also puts a lot of pressure on other teams participating in the U21 European Cup.
Not long ago, the group draw ceremony for the finals just ended in Sweden. The Italian U21 national team was divided into Group A. The members of this group are the hosts Sweden, Belarus and Serbia.The strength of this group is not very strong, and there is almost no obstacle for the Italian group to appear.The other group is very interesting. Germany, England, Spain and Finland are in the same group. This group can be described as a group of death. There must be a team between England and West Germany that will be eliminated.
This event has always been aimed at letting young players enter the international stage. This is also the most anticipated game for young players under the age of 21, because this is a star-making stage. Many famous stars in European football today come out of this place.
