Coach: icciban

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

My name's Alessio, I'm 31 and am an agronomist engineer, I've been playing sokker since 10 years (time to quit? Not at all!) and after having won couple of titles I decide to start training players for Italy U21...I became CT almost by chance but in Italy we say: You wanted the bicycle? Now start driving!

How has this experience been for you with Italia in the season? What can people expect from Italia in the competition?

Quite hard to manage, cause of my 7 month old daughter takes me a lot of spare time, but full of satisfactions...I won all but 3 matches so far and already earned 3 positions in the ranking...but still I haven't done nothing...My community asks me for the title and that's what I will try to give them.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Very balanced group...I faced already Uruguay during qualifications and was not that easy to win...In addition I think we are one of the group with highest average ranking positions...Anyway, among opposites I think Slovensko is the one who has more chances to go through.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Italy or... A nation bootshaped or...The place where Da Vinci was born...
Jokes apart, exluding us I would say Turkey, Romania and Polska.


Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Zorzetti...He can simply play everywhere....And Gottardi, just think he was already untouchable one season ago...

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Deutschland, Bulgaria and overall Azerbaijan.

How has this experience been for you with Srbija in the season? What can people expect from Srbija in the competition?

For sure Serbia is a big team, so people can expect a lot from us :D


What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Serbia, Romania and Poland :D

Coach: fabiogoiabeira

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

Hello, my name is Fabio Goiabeira, I'm a professional in Computing, married and i have 1 son, playing sokker since 2008 and currently am Division 2 in Brazil. For me this is the best management game.

How has this experience been for you with Brasil in the season? What can people expect from Brasil in the competition?

My expectation for the WCQ was at least stay in 2nd place and ended up surpassing Romania and getting 1st place, this campaign we finished unbeaten. Now for WC things have changed a lot, our generation, especially in the ATT is not the best, then I predict that we will have much work ahead, more trust in a classification for the eightfinals in World Cup, now the title will be very difficult.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

I believe that Serbia should be one of classified and another wave will surely be ours! Since Sweden and Paraguay are there on the same level as our team, I think we'll fight for 2nd place, but more will fight to stay in 1st place of the group, although our team is a little less than the team of Serbia.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

România, Italy and Poland.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

We have no star, most could name two good MIDS, Ramiro Zé Galo and Cornélio Preterotto, for their performances offensively and defensively, respectively.

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Surprises as the name already says surprisingly, maybe Argentina, Germany, Czech Republic, Portugal can surprise.

Coach: Josegales

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

Hi! I have been playing the game for 7 years now, and this will be my 7th season as Paraguay U21's coach. Paraguay U21 has climbed more than 30 positions in the world ranking during the last 6 seasons (5 of them with me as coach) and fortunately, we have been able to keep our position for a long time now :)

This will be the first time that Paraguay will play the U21WC, how does it feel to know that ? How has this experience been for you with Paraguay in the season? What can people expect from Paraguay in the competition?

It still surprises me to think that Paraguay U21 has reached the WC for the first time in sokker history. During the last season, the team has shown that we are at a good level, and that we are able to compete against top countries. I really don't know what people should expect when playing against Paraguay. We'll fight against each and every team. Expect surprises :)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Uff, tough question. Our rivals are all very good teams. I mean, they are in the WC because they were the best in their groups last season. We'll have to give our best against the three of them. Observing the average marks of the four teams this season, I can say we are all at a similar level, so we'll have some entertaining matches definately. I just hope Paraguay goes through :)

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Belgie U21
Polska U21
Paraguay U21 :)


Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Constantino Bernardes, the captain. He's my player and he was very expensive, so he should be worth it :P . Hahaha just kidding, he's currently our best player IMO, and I think he's the one with more matches right in the U21 right now, that's why I consider Bernardes to be the most important.

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Paraguay U21
Azərbaycan U21
Bosna i Hercegovina U21

Coach: Ford Kuga

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

Hi, I'm a 23 year old student of Economics. I started to play sokker in 2011 and I love this game. Becaming the CT of Sweden has been a gift that I never expected when I started to play this game.

How has this experience been for you with Sverige in the season? What can people expect from Sverige in the competition?

My experience as coach of Sverige U21 has been fantastic. I like a lot this country and the people who live there. The community is not so big but I think that users in this country believe in me and my capabilities. In my opinion they expect that I'll do my best to make tactics and to choose the best players for every single match.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Serbija and Brasil are very strong team with bigger communities than our. Paraguay is a smaller community than us but the coach seems to be really good. I think that there will be some surprises in this group: it is not very easy to predict who will go throgh.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Three are very few but I think Romania, Polska and Italy are the best teams in sokker. But there are many other teams that can do very well.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

The most important player is our GK Ivar Stenälv: a lot of times he has save the result and he has allow us to win the match. It will be important to have him at the best form as possible.

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

As said before, there are many teams that have potential to make some surprises to the biggest teams. I hope that one of such teams will be also Sverige, others can be Belgie and Türkiye I think.

Any words you want to tell the community?

I want to thank all the Sweden community to have give me the possibility to play to this WC: it is the first for me and it is a dream that became reality. I hope to do a good job as in the qualification phase. I hope that all the community will enjoy to see the matches of their national team!

Thank you

Hi, I'm playing Sokker since 2007 (this is my 2nd team) and, before Bulgaria, I qualified Viet Nam U21 for the last World Cup. In real life, I'm semi professional table tennis player and coach and I'm also big football fan and AS Roma supporter. I'm 21y old and I'm studying business economics.

How has this experience been for you with Bulgaria in the season? What can people expect from Bulgaria in the competition?

Good season for us but we lost the fight with Czech Republic for the first place. We beat twice all other opponents but it wasn't enough. Expectations are bad things in regard to sport psychology but we will give the best of us to qualify.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

It's a tough group for sure. Of course, Turkey and Argentina are favorites as seeded teams.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Romania, Turkey and, of course, Poland.

The most important player is the player who cannot be replaced. So in our team the most important player is our keeper because we haven't 2nd good keeper.

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

I am a coach who likes to train mostly young portuguese players.

How has this experience been for you with Portugal in the season? What can people expect from Portugal in the competition?

My path has been in line with previous coaches, we will try to pass this 1st stage of the U21WC.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

I think a balanced group, always depends on the generation we have in the moment. I think that major candidates to pass are Portugal and Switzerland.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Turkey, România and Italia.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Bártolo Russo, goalkeeper and always very important at this age.

Hello! My name is Rodrigo Carvalho, I'm 20 years old and this is my 3rd U21WC as coach, the last 2 U21WC, i was coaching Perú and Brazil, and... i'm the creator of this guide! :)

How has this experience been for you with Schweiz in the season? What can people expect from Schweiz in the competition?

It could be better, but I was a vagabond last season! So... I apologize the Swiss community for this because they are very nice to me!
People can expect Switzerland world champion!


What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

I think it's a challenging group although I heard people tell me that I am in an easy group! I have participated in 2 U21WC and I know that one should not underestimate their opponents! So I do not know what will happen, I just hope to get the necessary results!

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Romania, Poland and Belgium, because we have a great team and great coaches!

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Besides our defense that has good players, we have an important player in midfield! Marcel Spahr is a good MID for a U21 level and our hope of good goal opportunities for our strikers!

I'll bet in Paraguay, Indonesia and Perú!

Hello! I have 35 years and am a physical education teacher. I play Sokker to 5 years and this is my first experience as a coach in a U21NT team.

How has this experience been for you with México in the season? What can people expect from México in the competition?

Mexico now has very few members in the community and is difficult to put together a great team without active members. Fortunately the few active members like to help the team. The chance of Mexico go beyond the first stage is small, but Mexico will create difficulties for their opponents. Let's play one match at a time.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

It's a good group to Mexico, we will not confront any TOP team. Portugal and Switzerland are the strongest, but China and Mexico can amaze.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Romania and Poland will always be strong candidates for the title. I believe Belgium is the third force at this time.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Nicandro Gil is a complete player. It is important to create scoring opportunities, and can score goals too.

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

In a World Cup U21 are few surprises, but I like how plays Slovensko.

Any words you want to tell the community?

I would like to thank everyone who train Mexican players. It's a small community and it needs a lot of collaboration Mexican or foreign coaches. If you like young, Mexican train is a good opportunity to have your player in the team and receive extra training.

Hi again ! :)
I'm 31yo, playing sokker for a long time, some successes with Poland U21 in the past. Still trying to find out how to earn big money in this game ;p


You are the coach who won more times this U21WC (2 times in a row), what made you want to return to coaching Polska? What can people expect from Polska in the competition?

I came back to Poland U21 because there were no other "big names" wanted to be coach of our young NT. Also it is more fun when U work for Your own country ... and I wanted to win 3rd trophy for Poland :)
Poland as always would be one of the strongest team in tournament, You can expect that polish raccoons will fight 100% in every game.


What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Playing 3 World Cups in learned that every opponent could be very strong and avery match could be the hardest one. I think that Poland and Germany will go trough but we can be sure.... that nothing is sure ;p

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Poland, Romania and 2-3 teams are favorites for me

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

There are few leaders in my team: Mieszko Rawski, Grzegorz Konopecki, Zygfryd Smarż or Robert Późniak.
But as always season before WC there were better players ;d


Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Magyarország U21 - They are very difficult opponent every WC I play agains them

It was a challenge to qualify again for the WC as our community counts less than 20 active players. We fulfilled our goal.

There isn't to much to talk about as we didn't have luck with the group oponents . Think that Belgie and Spain will go to next stage.

I think Turkey can win this edition cos they have a good team and good coach, personally my second favourite team is Italy.

Here we cant talk about surprises as all teams which take part are good, one who will win this WC edition will make it simple because they are the best.

We all speak about teams and coaches but we never have to forget people which sacrifices their league results because the NT. So I have to thank them all because my coach skills won’t be visible without them. Our small community is alive only cos the NT, so I can say we all made it good by now.

How has this experience been for you with Suomi in the season? What can people expect from Suomi in the competition?

Last season was my first NT-season and the results were fabulous. This season, there are goals to qualify the first block of the World Cup. It is not a secret that I do not have enough good players in championship. The Finns always expect the championships so again this year.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Very very hard group. I hope that my team go through and I think that Romania win ours group.

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Polska, Romania or Italia

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Joonas Isosomppi GK. He is such a bad condition that I do not know is enough space in the starting lineup.

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Suomi of course.

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

My name is Daniel, I'm 37 years and i play sokker since 2009, i was Brasil NT coach a while ago in the WCQ, but particular problems did I could not be the coach in World Cup and currently i play the Serie C, is the third division in Brazil!

You had not been the coach last season, do you think it can harm you in U21 WC? What can people expect from Perú in the competition?

About having not coaching Perú last season, I might suffer a little in relation to know the players, but nothing that would give many problems! Regarding the chances in the U21WC, we are in a very difficult group where we are the team with the least expectations to move to the next stage, but, we will try to surprise and get pass to the next stage!

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

We were unlucky in the choice of groups and we are in a very difficult group with other three teams among the top 8 in the ranking! Because of tradition, i think Romania and Finland as the main forces of the group, but with this engine we can have some surprise!

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Among the favorites in the U21WC, we must always talk about Poland for having a wide variety of good players and Romania, one of our opponents; maybe the third force will be Italy, Turkey or Belgium which are other teams with a good positions on ranking!

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Within our team, I think we have to talk about our defense as a whole, not just one player, because we have a solid defense with good ability to steal the ball, maybe if we can stop the attacks of opponents, we can achieve good results in the matches!

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Surprises in the U21WC, since the implementation of this last engine, I think all the little teams can surprise, it may be that we will always have the same teams fighting for the title, but certainly there may be some surprises in the groups!

Despite the difficult group, we try the success to move to the next stage!

Coach: rohamkacsa

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

My name is Leslie Hadaró, I'm 32 years old and I'm from Hungary.
I was NT coach in Hong Kong, in Slovenija U21 coach for 7 seasons and scout in Hungary,Slovenija for a lot of seasons,Belarus and in some other countries for a season.
This is my 6.season with Hungary U21. Hungary U21 won a bronze medal on the last Wc, I'm very proud of the last WC team.


How has this experience been for you with Magyarország in the season? What can people expect from Magyarország in the competition?

On the last WC we won a bronze medal and we was third place on the ranklist, but i think this generation is weaker:( we have a very hard group with Romania,Suomi and Peru. Users expect that the U21 qualify to the next round! So we will fight for this:)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Very hard group. I think Romania is a terminator:), Peru is a little weaker team but can make a surprise in all time, Suomi is a same strong as Hungary. So i think Hungary will be the first and Romania go trough on the second place:)

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Türkiye ,România,België

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

I think we haven't in this season a superstar, on this WC we can win only with the TEAM, we need a very hard teamworks, but all coach with a Hungarian u21 player is important:)

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

México,Srbija,Deutschland,Česká republika and Bosnia(my secret favorite)

Any words you want to tell the community?

Evrything can be possible. You just need to want it. The belive is a strong weapon, we must only belive in the Team and they fight for this cup from the first minute until the last.
Never loose the Hope, all team can be a WC winner!
Good luck to all!
and Woody for president!:D

Coach: cristidinu

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

Hello everyone,
My name is Cristi Dinu, I'm 33 years old. I play sokker for 9 years....more, I do not know what to say about me...just maybe... I'm world champion and I want again.


This time you will play the U21WC defending the world title, Romania won the two last editions and the last edition, România did an amazing performance, do you feel any pressure because of that? What can people expect from România in the competition?

Indeed, we do have to defend the title, but we've done that already, so we're getting used to it, there's no pressure on that. If we do it again, I may try once more in 2 seasons, if not, I'm thinking to candidate for other top 10 U21 team. Maybe even Polska (although I don't think I have chances to win there). Romanian community is expecting another gold trophy at this edition, so we'll do our best to provide it.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

We're in the "group of death", 3 out of the 4 teams are ranked in top 8. It doesn't matter, though, when winning the title is your objective, you have to go for it, no matter what. The first game is always the most difficult. Except Romania, I don't know which team may go through, and I don't really care, to be honest :]

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Each top 10 team has its chances to win the title. To answer your question, I'd go with Polska, Turkey and Italy, not necessarily in this order.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

We don't have a key player. It would be foolish to create our tactic depending on one player only. There can always be injuries, red cards or lack of form. For instance, our best midfielder had tragic form during the entire last edition, he didn't help us at all. We do have decent players in every compartiment, so I can say that our most important player in the squad is... the squad :)

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

I don't really know... maybe Portugal and Bosnia, one more time.

Any words you want to tell the community?

Enjoy football and may the best team win... that would be us, though, so don't have high hopes :P

Coach: ostulc

Hello Coach! Please tell us a few words about yourself!

Hello! I am 25yo student of computer science from Prague. I have been playing Sokker since late 2007. Most of this time I spent by coaching national teams. However I was mostly coaching teams of smaller countries, where the chance for some more significant success was quite slim. Let's see what can be done with this team :-)

How has this experience been for you with Česká republika in the season? What can people expect from Česká republika in the competition?

Well, I really enjoyed this season. It has been quite some time since I coached a NT for the last time and it was great to recall all the great stuff around. We have played some amazing matches against strong opponents and failed against the weaker ones - how typical for me ;-)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

Results of the past WCQ were quite intriguing. Many top teams failed to reach first places in their groups. Even though our qualification was quite a successful one, we were still in a great risk of getting some sort of group of death. In the end our group is quite playable, even though we do not have any kind of top team. I hope that we will manage to get through :-)

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

I think that one of the greatest contenders for the victory is the team of Romania. They have truly incredible players. If something happens, then Italy or Poland might take their chance.

Who is the most important player in your squad? Why?

Well, let me think... Dofek? ;-) You know, it's always great to have an alien in your team - it gives you some abnormal powers :-P

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

I hope that Czech Republic might be one of such surprises. We have a weak generation but everything is possible :-)

Any words you want to tell the community?

Just enjoy the matches and become a fan of the team of Czech Republic! ;-)

This will be the first time that Indonesia will play the U21WC, how does it feel to know that ? How has this experience been for you with Indonesia in the season? What can people expect from Indonesia in the competition?

This is my second time to be a coach Indonesia U21 and my target is avoid teh bottom. but i see my team ablity that can make a history. And we have luck when Serbia defeat Austria, so we can make history. My mate in Indonesia hope that we avoid bottom and prove that Indonesia can do better

We went behind the opinions of coaches and ex-coaches about the 11th edition of U21 World Cup!

l-zsolt Australia U21 Coach

What do you hope this edition of the U21 World Cup?

I hope to be a WC with a lot of good matches, with a lot of goals but very close results and after the increased of user number on litle SK countrys i wait for more stronger teams now, than before.
Lucky the countrys where new users got the necessary help to could open young schools, without to end fast because of negative bank balance, i think, they will be ready to go up in next few seasons in rankings.And i hope to see new world class stars from more teams, beause young talents are everywhere on WC countrys.


Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

Romania,Italy and my past team, Hungary.But the polish are still on top, depending on their tactics, because they are the better team, that sometime beat theyself:D

Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?

Portugal, then Spain or Germany could make a great WC season.

Any words you want to tell the community?

Hi all users, i hope you understand the importance to train youngs for NT-s, all over the world and to update them regularly.Without that this WC event will lose their quality and your own teams will lose to.
Communitys and U21 coachs just working together will be able to increase the next WC-s playing quality.
Help the future of our nations and whole this game.
Thanks.


Tsolias Pilipinas U21 Coach

What do you hope this edition of the U21 World Cup?

Tell me 3 teams you believe they can win the U21WC.

România, România and România...
ok, I will tell two more: Italy and Poland.


Which teams do you think have the potential to make some surprises in this edition?
