Subject: [U21] World Cup , by Krzysztof/
Meanwhile, the U21 World Cup is ongoing, and that's the most important topic. The World Cup is happening and a lot is going on, and this is just youth football, so I wonder what will happen during the World Cup NT. The fact is, on paper, the favorites for the final are Turkey and Italy, but will it really be like that? And let's not talk about the game engine here, because the game engine can of course help, but not in every match all the way to the U21 World Cup final. Our skills also count, it's time to take that seriously :)

We are already in the semifinal phase of the U21 World Cup. It's time to recall what the coaches had to tell us about the semifinal participants before the start of the World Cup.
Italia U21
Coach: Giuseppe 83
World Cup U21:
1. At the beginning of our conversation, tell us something about yourself, what you do, what your hobbies are, tell us about your country, how life is there, what life is like in your country, whether it is worth visiting your country, and whether it is worth moving there permanently.
1- Hi, I’m Giuseppe and I live in Italy, in a beautiful village in the Dolomites.
Between a training session and a tactical adjustment, I manage a gelato shop. As I write, looking out the window, I see the smoke from chimneys slowly rising into the sky. The Italian mountains are a very peaceful place to live, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. I believe it’s an ideal place for those, like me, raising children; maybe a bit less so for those seeking entertainment and nightlife that only big cities can offer.
But if you’re looking for nature and tranquility, this is truly the perfect spot!
2. Tell us what your fight to qualify for the U21 World Cup looked like?
2- The qualification journey was fairly straightforward: apart from a few uncertainties in the first matches, once we found the right balance we delivered excellent performances, which allowed us to qualify with full points.
3. Tell us how you assess your national team that will play in the U21 World Cup, what are your plans, what do you realistically want to compete for, who are the biggest stars of your team, how do you evaluate your group in the U21 World Cup.
3- I see this season as a bit more challenging: the new 21-year-olds are slightly behind the previous generation, so we need to make some adjustments. The group is tough and every match will be crucial. Our goal is to advance, and then try to go as far as possible. Sokker is always unpredictable, and at the World Cup, no one starts defeated!
4. List what you think are the top 5 U21 World Cup teams, these are your gut feelings, try to have some fun and answer this question.
4- The clear favorite is Poland: they have a huge number of players and therefore many more options than other nations. Right behind them, in order, I see Romania, Hungary, Turkey, and Italy.
5. Name 3 teams that at this U21 World Cup could be the dark horse of the tournament, in a positive sense
5- The dark horse could definitely be Finland: they didn’t concede a single goal during the qualifiers, which is impressive.
Their tactics are excellent. Brazil and the Czech Republic can also perform very well in this U21 World Cup.
6. In your opinion, which teams have very good coaches, and that would be an extra advantage for those teams in the fight for the U21 World Cup title
6- Austria and Estonia have coaches I know personally and consider very skilled. They can provide real added value to their national teams, often pushing them beyond the limits of their squad.
7. Would you like to officially greet someone now, acknowledge them, say something nice to them, or thank them for something?
7- I want to thank the entire Italian community, who always participate with great passion, and all the coaches around the world who train and develop young Italian players.
8. What would you like to say to the fans of your team before the start of the U21 World Cup, or maybe do you want to make a promise?
8- I promise, as always, to give my best in scouting and fielding the best talents. We will do everything possible to make the World Cup dream as long and fulfilling as possible!
9. Name 3 national teams you would like to coach in your career as a manager in the future.
9- I don’t have other national teams I wish to coach: giving my best for my country and representing it at the World Cup is all I can ask from Sokker!
Brasil U21
Coach: gordo.
World Cup U21:
1. At the beginning of our conversation, tell us something about yourself, what you do, what your hobbies are, tell us about your country, how life is there, what life is like in your country, whether it is worth visiting your country, and whether it is worth moving there permanently.
1- My name is Ademar, I am 37 years old and I am a simple logistics worker
As I said in the previous World Cup interview, we live under a judicial dictatorship in Brazil, led by a violator of human rights, Alexandre de Moraes.
Brazil is a fantastic country, with many beautiful beaches and an immense gastronomic variety; obviously, two of the best known are our feijoada
2. Tell us what your fight to qualify for the U21 World Cup looked like?
2- It was calm, despite the unexpected defeat against Cyprus, where I used a younger team and was surprised. Apart from that, everything was under control.
Brasil U21 - Kypros U21 0:1
3. Tell us how you assess your national team that will play in the U21 World Cup, what are your plans, what do you realistically want to compete for, who are the biggest stars of your team, how do you evaluate your group in the U21 World Cup.
3- Unfortunately, I have a weaker team this season and some of the best players are still out of form. Despite this, the focus is on seeking the unprecedented title for my country. This season, the star player is Clovis Viola
4. List what you think are the top 5 U21 World Cup teams, these are your gut feelings, try to have some fun and answer this question.
4- Poland, Romania, Hungary, Belgium and Turkey.
5. Name 3 teams that at this U21 World Cup could be the dark horse of the tournament, in a positive sense
5- Finland, France and Brazil
6. In your opinion, which teams have very good coaches, and that would be an extra advantage for those teams in the fight for the U21 World Cup title
6- It's difficult to name 3 because the level is very high. We have some good players who have always been present and some new ones who have already proven themselves in the last edition.
7. Would you like to officially greet someone now, acknowledge them, say something nice to them, or thank them for something?
7- Congratulations on everything you represent for the under-21 teams with the work you do, in addition to the title in the last edition. I hope we have a good game in the opening match and that I can surprise you.
8. What would you like to say to the fans of your team before the start of the U21 World Cup, or maybe do you want to make a promise?
8- I just want to thank you for your trust and perhaps reward you with an unprecedented title.
9. Name 3 national teams you would like to coach in your career as a manager in the future.
9- Portugal, Romania and Spain.
Türkiye U21
Coach: TayfunAras
World Cup U21:
1. At the beginning of our conversation, tell us something about yourself, what you do, what your hobbies are, tell us about your country, how life is there, what life is like in your country, whether it is worth visiting your country, and whether it is worth moving there permanently.
1- Hello, my name is Tayfun Aras. I am 37 years old and I live in Izmir, Türkiye.
Izmir
I work in a factory. Our country is surrounded by sea on three sides and is a very beautiful tourist destination. Istanbul, in particular, with its historical buildings,
Suleiman Mosque
Antalya, Çeşme in Izmir, Bodrum,
Fethiye and Marmaris in Muğla, with their summer tourism, and the Black Sea region with its mountainous areas offering wonderful clean air and magnificent nature.
2. Tell us what your fight to qualify for the U21 World Cup looked like?
2- Last season, our Turkish U21 national team had a very strong squad and we managed to comfortably finish as group leaders. In the last match, Adaca miraculously finished 2nd with the Australian U21 national team, and I would like to congratulate him again.
3. Tell us how you assess your national team that will play in the U21 World Cup, what are your plans, what do you realistically want to compete for, who are the biggest stars of your team, how do you evaluate your group in the U21 World Cup.
3- If you are managing the Turkish national team, your goal is always to win the championship. I will do everything in my power to achieve this. If I were to evaluate our national team, I think we have a good squad. Our best players are Gökmen Yavuzeli , Ekrem Mahşer , Nurullah Düzce , Cengiz Han Bitlis , and our goalkeeper Cafer Ordulu
I believe they are among our best players. Our group is really tough. Romania, Serbia, and Vietnam... Obviously, anything can happen in this group.
Previous round:
2:2 Việt Nam U21 - Srbija U21
2:1 România U21 - Türkiye U21
4. List what you think are the top 5 U21 World Cup teams, these are your gut feelings, try to have some fun and answer this question.
4- The general consensus is that Poland and Romania are the biggest championship contenders, while my other favorites are Hungary, Türkiye (us), and Deutschland.
5. Name 3 teams that at this U21 World Cup could be the dark horse of the tournament, in a positive sense
5- I can't say that Italy and Brazil will be surprises; they are very good teams, I would name them as the top two teams.
Finally, I think Croatia, whose coach is my friend Özgür, could pull off a surprise.
Dear World Cup U21 fans, the very first match of Croatia U21 in Group C against the big favorite, Poland U21, showed that Croatia can really become the dark horse of the World Cup U21 :) It was really a good, evenly matched game against the U21 World Cup favorite. Bravo _ÖzGüR_ .
Previous round:
Hrvatska U21 - Polska U21 2:3
6. In your opinion, which teams have very good coaches, and that would be an extra advantage for those teams in the fight for the U21 World Cup title
6- Petru, Slamtam, Krzysztof, _ÖzGüR_, gordo.
7. Would you like to officially greet someone now, acknowledge them, say something nice to them, or thank them for something?
7- I would like to thank Krzysztof for adding color to Sokker with these conversations, and Germanek, XxSaimonxX and sviktorov for their dedication and efforts in organizing the tournaments.
8. What would you like to say to the fans of your team before the start of the U21 World Cup, or maybe do you want to make a promise?
8- They trusted me and voted for me in the election, and I thank them all very much. I will do my best to be worthy of their trust and to succeed.
9. Name 3 national teams you would like to coach in your career as a manager in the future.
9- Honestly, I don't have an answer to that question right now.
Teşekkürler Krzysztof ;-)
