In terms of the ace in the team, the 18-year-old Dortmund “Heisha” Mu Gaogao, who played 26 games in the Bundesliga this season, contributed 7 goals and 4 assists, he is also a big international player. Stuttgart defender Josha Vagnoman and Benford striker Sada have also been promoted to major internationals. The three are believed to be the backbone of Germany’s current squad.

France

Italy
Italy, which has won the U21 European Cup 5 times, is also undefeated in the qualifiers. In the team, Donali, the brain of AC Milan, dominates the midfield rhythm, and his confidence is guaranteed. This son was the focus of AC’s victory in Serie A last season, and he has been selected as a big international player for a long time, and his command is determined. Other key figures include Langdu, who has just participated in the UEFA Nations League as a big international player. Will he show his super class strength when he moves to U21?

England
The last time the Young Lions dominated Europe was already in 1984. Many new Premier League stars attended this year, including Arsenal midfielder Smith Road, Liverpool twin stars Judis Jones and Eliage, Newcastle Su’s Gordon and others are really strong, but they lack practical experience in individual positions such as goalkeepers. As for the top scorer in the qualifiers, Konarimba Luguan has immigrated to the United States, which more or less affects the existing offensive mode.

Netherlands
The Orange team’s victory is stable enough, even more stable than the big international teams. Last year’s tournament, they stopped at the top 4. However, they were undefeated in 10 qualifying games and scored 32 goals, fully demonstrating their strong offensive firepower. Bologna striker Schias scored 7 goals in the qualifiers, and also scored two goals in Serie A this season, including scoring against Lecce at the end of the season.

czech republic
In 2002, the league leader was regarded as a dark horse in the competition. Only Liverpool goalkeeper Charlus played in the top 5 European leagues in the team. In fact, he has been loaned out all the time. However, the most remarkable thing about the Czech Republic is their defense. They only conceded 6 goals in 10 qualifying games. It may take a lot of effort for any team to break through the defense of this Eastern European team.
