I wonder if Gigi Di Biagio, in seeing this final Under 21 with the victory of Spain over Germany (2-1), has had other regrets in recalling the success of Italy’s debut against the Red Furies. A European that for the Azzurrini had started very well thanks to the comeback of the Church, but it ended badly without a semifinal and therefore also without an Olympic pass for Tokyo 2020. Because in Udine Spain wins, which reaches Italy at the top with five European Championships. For the Iberians it is even the third title in the last five editions and it is the revenge of the Polish final of 2017 when it was Germany that raised the trophy. Finally, for this Spain it is the continuation of a path made of victories because 8/11 of this formation is the same that had won the European Under-19 Championship in 2015.
In short, we’re talking about talented players. Fabian Ruiz, Napoli midfielder whom Aurelio De Laurentiis and Carlo Ancelotti want to keep close to, holding the lead in the 7th minute with a fine left-footed shot on all of them. As it happened, when he came out in the opening race, Italy then reassembled and won. But there are many other talents in this Spain and it is right to appoint Ceballos of Real Madrid and Dani Olmo of Dinamo Zagreb, both in the sights of Milan. And it is the Croat’s striker who signs the doubling in the 24th minute of the second half, at the best moment in Germany. Ceballos spreads panic in the German area, serves Fabian Ruiz, shoots on goal, Nubel does not hold back and Dani Olmo reiterates on the net. It is a wonderful Spain, which hits a crossbar with Soler in the 36th minute and trembles at Amiri’s goal two minutes from the end (deflected by Vallejo). There is great regret because our Under 21 had boldly defeated him before getting lost with Poland, with the delays of Kean and Zaniolo and with the biscuit of France and Romania.
