UNDER 21 COMPETITION 2017

Group A
We have the host NT and last winner of european title, but both will not start as favorites.

Sweden will present in attack Pavel Cibicki, young striker of Malmo, and Gustav Engvall, from Djurgarde, that will be the sub of John Guidetti. L’erede di Guidetti sarà del Djurgarden.

Poland will come in full caos after that head coach Marcin Dorna will not have the support of Arkadiusz Milik and Piotr Zielinski, both denied from Napoli. Watch so for the midfielder Bartosz Kapustka, that in short tournament can show all his talent.

England are NT favorite to win the Group but also candidate for the final win: they will not have Dele Alli and Ruben Loftus Cheek. But to watch for many players in search of visibility: James Ward Prowse, Chalobah and overall Nathan Redmond, winger that plays in Southampton.

Slovakia is the real less known NT of the Group apart that in prelimar stage they eliminated Holland and Turkje and they suffered a few goals.

Group B

The 2 favorite NT are Spain and Portugal that must not take underleg Serbia and Macedonia.

Spain are IMO the favorite to win the Group and the european too: they can count over many stars to start from fresh euro champions with Real Madrid, Asensio able to score also 1 goal in the final of Cardiff against Juventus. Despite they yong media age, there are already experienced players as Saul (Atletico Madrid), Deulofeu (Milan) and Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao). Be carefull too to Marcos Llorente (on the best Liga midfielders)and laterals of back Grimaldo (Benfica) and Bellerin (Arsenal).

Portugal are slim back to Spain but they are good solidity to have care of youth NT: 2 years ago they reached the 2nd place beating from Sweden: to watch for the midfielder Renatos Sanches (Bayern Munchen), Ruben Neves (Porto) and Bruno Fernandes (Sampdoria).

Serbia, that closed Grops phase behind Italy, beating Norway in the playoff, count overall over Nikola Milenkovic (just brought from Fiorentina), Andrija Zivkovic (Benfica) and Marko Grujic (Liverpool).

Macedonia search for the second miracle after they closed the Group phase before super favorite France: the star of the NY is surely David Babunski, midfielder taken very young from Barcelona and currently to play in J-League with Yokohama Marinos.

Group C

Italy have IMO the hardest Group: anyway they have roster of full quality cause apart the "big" as Gianluigi Donnarumma and Federico Bernardeschi, to watch also for revelation defenders Mattia Caldara and Andrea Conti (Atalanta), MF Marco Benassi (Torino), Roberto Gagliardini (Inter) and Manuel Locatelli (Milan), still the strikers Domenico Berardi (Sassuolo) and Andrea Petagna (Atalanta).

Germany area sure candidate to win the title too: they can count over good organization and they won silver medal at Olympic games of Rio in 2016.
Selke, Max Meyer, Tah, Gnabry and Dahoud are the stars available for thre head coach Stefan Kuntz, that must lose Matthias Ginter, Niklas Sule and Timo Werner called by Low for the Confederation Cup.
