World Cup U21
România U21 Coach: Lord Legolas
1. Tell us what it feels like to win the vice world title with the national team, because that's our dream.
1- It's not so impressive for me, I can say it's frustrating to lose again. It's the 7th final we lost.
2. Which match was the toughest for you on your way to becoming vice world champion?
2- The toughest was against Spain, but it didn't count hence we were already qualified for the next round.
3. The best Romanian U21 footballer is ?
3- There are 2 good players: Tudorel Ştefănuţ (the midfielder) and Robert Chiţac (the best striker we had and he missed the final).
4. Tell us your story, what your path was like as a national team coach before you became Vice U21 World Champion.
4- It was pretty difficult, especially because we, probably, had the hardest way of reaching the final (only tough rivals), and the lack of form for some main players, including in the final where we missed 4 important players from 1st eleven.
5. Tell us how you intend to steer your national team coaching career , are you staying in Romania U21?
5- I have no plan atm but if no serious user will candidate, probably I will continue managing Romania U21.
6. Tell us your impressions of the U21 World Cup, who do you think disappointed, who pleasantly surprised?
6- Surprisingly, a lot of teams were very competitive and had really good players. Disappointments: Brasil and a half disappointment is Hungary, because they had a weak manager :)) Surprises: Australia, Cuba and, let's say Austria, but they really had an easy path until they met the Romanian wall.
7. What is your favourite tactic in the U21 ?
7- 442
8. Which TOP country would you like to lead in the future ?
8- I haven't thought of any nation so far.
9. Would you like to lead an adult national team in the future ? and if so, in which country ?
9- Not really, because I had no big achievements at the senior teams I have led so far.
10. Finally, please give your overall summary of the World Cup U21
10- Tough and entertaining competition, unfortunately, the final was a classic.
11. Would you like to greet someone in particular , thank someone ? Here so officially ?
11- I would greet all the coaches for their commitment, you and slamtam for entertaining the forum, it was a joy reading your posts. I would like to thank the Romanian community for the support and all the users who trained the Romanian players as well as they could.

I am assuming that a lot of countries can train similar players who Poland have, but in Poland we can find replacement almost in each formation. Ok for example I had only two good keepers and I didn't have good defmid, but I had more possibilities to prepare to each match due to more players to choose.
To achieve the success in smaller countries each coach u21 should help useres from country where he is how to train properly players. Sometimes you can prepare very good generation if you will train players 16-18 years old according to assumed. It was my intention to present you Poland squad that you know what you should do. For example I was impressed Bulgaria u21. Thier main squad was created from the players who were trained by users from Bulgaria. I think this is also way to success to find engaged people who will support u21 coaches.

GK - Tymoteusz Petelski

ATT - Lech Puńko
4. Tell us your story , what your path was like as a national team coach , until you became U21 World Champion
4- My story is very long. As I mentioned in the first question I spent 5 years to achieve gold medal. I am Project Manager in my private life and I am doing each task as a project.
First I wanted rebuild Ireland u21 team. I spent there three years. My goal was to achieve promotion for World Cup. It did it, but I wasn't the best because I wanted achieve better than fourth place in World Cup group, but unfortunately after two good matches, where I had chance to achieve draw I lost last match against România and my project was ended :-)
After Ireland I started to train Czech Republic u21 team. I had more players who I could use during the matches. In my first World Cup I achieved quarterfinal, then bronze medal and at the end of my career again I achieved quarterfinal. I also played in group and 1/8 cup against România:-)
My dream was to achieve gold medal with Poland and I did in current season and what at the end I played against România:-)
5. Tell us how you intend to steer your national team coaching career further ?
5- After Druid's Cup I am leaving Poland u21 and I am looking for new challenges. I would like to improve my shelf of trophies in u21 team :-) I hope that I will find somewhere place for me :-)
6. Tell us your impressions of the U21 World Cup, who do you think disappointed, who pleasantly surprised?
6- I think we have a lot of very good teams and managers who are leading national teams. World Cup presented that small country like Australia can achieved very good result. I think Switzerland and Austria surprised me, but I think that Switzerland was the best during World Cup. I think that Brasil and Spain could play better during World Cup.
7. What is your favourite tactic in the U21 ?
7- I don't have the favourite tactic. I am trying prepare tactic for my players, sometimes I am playing 4-3-3 and sometimes 5-3-2 or 4-1-2-1-2.
8. Which TOP country would you like to lead in the future ?
8- I would like to try to lead the team from first or second pot according to ranking, but I don't know if I have chance to win election in another country. I hope that good results during my career will help me to receive trust in next community.
???
9. Would you like to lead an adult national team in the future ? and if so, in which country ?
9- Maybe in the future I will lead NT but flat the moment I would like to focus to support u21 teams.
10. Finally, please give your overall summary of the World Cup U21
10- I think that the World Cup was amazing due to I achieved gold medal :-p but I would like to say level of national teams are similar and each team can do surprised and achieve medal in the future.
11. Would you like to greet someone in particular , thank someone ? Here so officially ?
11- I would like to thank polish community who supported my. I would like to thank gruchalus_88 who helped my during preparation before cup matches during World Cup.

re: " I would like to try to lead the team from first or second pot according to ranking :-)
Maybe Lord legolas will agree to give you a chance to win a gold medal for Romania U21 , the community of Romania is patiently waiting for that :)

The U21 World Cup is about to begin, in each national team that will participate in the World Cup preparations have already begun , yesterday the first friendly control matches were played. We could get a preliminary idea of the potential of each national team, I would not worry about the outcome of the matches to the end, because it is only a preparation, now each coach has time to work out the imperfections of his national team, and make the appropriate selection of players. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the election of candidates for national team manager is still underway in each national team participating in the U21 World Cup, we already know the names, and these national teams can prepare calmly, nervousness can still only be in Venezuela, Türkiye, Australia in these 3 national teams we do not yet know the name of the manager because there is more than one candidate, but probably the best chances have the current selectors because they are the ones who introduced their national teams to the U21 World Cup.

Hey Krzysztof, thanks for sending me this! I'll reply to the best of my abilities, and thank you for always doing this each WC. MVP stuff <3
1. At the very beginning write a few words about yourself and your country where you live , what is worth visiting , what is worth eating at your place ?
I'm Diego, albeit everyone calls me Nido. 39 years old Rosario Central fan from Argentina.
Argentina is a big country and has a lot of places to visit, not just the big cities. The one that always stood in my mind are the Iguazú Falls (~80% Argentinian, ~20% Brazilian. So you can visit two countries for the whole experience) and the one I wish to visit in the future is the Perito Moreno Glaciers.
About eating, asado is the national food, but I've been raised in a family with heavy Italian roots, so I'll add gnocchi from a lot of local trattorias sprinkled around the whole country.
2. Remind us how your young national team fought in the U21 World Cup Qualifiers, what do you remember most from this competition ?
It was a nice time, with their hardships both inside the game and outside of it, as I battled to find free time during some weeks. Some could easily point out we managed to finish first and inside the first pot, but I know it wasn't easy and there's even more hard work ahead to do now we're in the WC.
3. How do you rate your group and your chances in the group at the U21 World Cup ?
It is a tricky group. Peru managed to qualify ahead of Spain while being unbeaten, while both Serbia and Belgium are NT used to feature in the WC. Not to mention I'm an unknown nobody at this stage, so I'm sure I'll be learning a lot from this first experience regardless of the result.
4. Who is the biggest star of your young national team ?
There's no such thing in our NT, at least until a player does something important inside the pitch.
5. How do you rate your national team compared to other national teams at the U21 World Cup ?
I think we're below average, hence what I replied at #4.
6. Name the 5 favorites to win the U21 World Cup this season ? Write a few words why you think so.
Poland & Romania: Natural candidates that doesn't rely on generational talents due to their huge pool of players.
Italy: Gotta respect the current WC coach and the work done there.
Brazil: Sounds they got rid of their usual bad luck during qualifiers, and I know for sure they're always competitive at games.
Germany: From what I could see last season, they flew really high in the nitty-gritty.
7. Surprise means the Black Horse of the Tournament will be?
If either Azerbaijan or England manage to get past group stage, one of them. They have been dealt a bad hand, so if they go past that, they're gonna get scary as confidence attracts good results.
8. Name 3 selectors at this tournament who you think have great skills, and will definitely help their national team win a medal at the U21 World Cup
I don't know that much about world stage on previous seasons, but Germanek is the WC winning coach, slamtam is the reason I put Germany on question #6, and I know Krzysztof managed to get Finland to a medal some seasons ago.
9. You can ask a question to one of the selectors of the current U21 World Cup tournament, please choose one selector write who you chose and ask one question here for him , this selector will definitely answer you. I am waiting for the selected selector and your question to him about the World Cup U21 Tournament and his national team or style of leading the national team.
I want to ask "How much you enjoy the U21 competitions and why?" to someone who spent a lot of time here. I'll leave it to you, Krzysztof, until I get to know everyone else better.
10. Name the 5 favorites to medal at the U21 World Cup.
Isn't this the same as #6? If I'm wrong, please correct me. If not, I'll happily answer another question.
Thank you, Von Graner.

Krzysztof:
You ask me about the satisfaction of playing and competing in the U21 Youth World Cup.
Let's start by saying that first of all I'm a fan of the game Sokker.org , then I'll answer that in this game I lead the club Coco Yambo , but the greatest satisfaction I get is to lead the national teams of the U21 youth national teams, I think I have a bias and this is my hobby. I now consider myself an expert of youth national teams , and my goal is to fight for medals . The unexpected bronze medal won for Finland U21 , only added to my motivation and belief in my skills. My goal is to win a medal for Hungary U21, currently I have maintained for a long time for Hungary U21 3rd place in the world ranking , and when I started my work in Hungary , we were in a distant position.

Coach: België / Soepie
U21 World Cup - Group C
Soepie
1. At the very beginning write a few words about yourself and your country where you live , what is worth visiting , what is worth eating at your place ?
1- I'm playing this game for 20 years an this is my third WC in charge of our U21 team.
Belgium and our capital, Brussels, is situated in the centre of Europe. Everybody loves Belgian chocolates and Belgian beer ;-)
2. Remind us how your young national team fought in the U21 World Cup Qualifiers, what do you remember most from this competition ?
2- We ended second in our group after Brazil, against whom we lost 2 times. We also draw one match, but it was an easy qualification.
3. How do you rate your group and your chances in the group at the U21 World Cup ?
3- There are no weak teams at the WC. Every nation has a new generation of players, so it's hard to know the strength of the opponents. I think Argentina and Peru are the favorites to advance, but I hope to beat them.
4. Who is the biggest star of your young national team ?

U21 World Cup - Group C
Soepie
1. At the very beginning write a few words about yourself and your country where you live , what is worth visiting , what is worth eating at your place ?
1- I'm playing this game for 20 years an this is my third WC in charge of our U21 team.
Belgium and our capital, Brussels, is situated in the centre of Europe. Everybody loves Belgian chocolates and Belgian beer ;-)
2. Remind us how your young national team fought in the U21 World Cup Qualifiers, what do you remember most from this competition ?
2- We ended second in our group after Brazil, against whom we lost 2 times. We also draw one match, but it was an easy qualification.
3. How do you rate your group and your chances in the group at the U21 World Cup ?
3- There are no weak teams at the WC. Every nation has a new generation of players, so it's hard to know the strength of the opponents. I think Argentina and Peru are the favorites to advance, but I hope to beat them.
