The Under-21 European Championship in Hungary and Slovenia that kicks off this Wednesday will feature a truly luxurious line-up. The list of France, great favorite, is the best example. Sylvain
Ripoll It will have a range of names worthy of a contest of absolute selections.

With Kooundé (Seville) as the leader of a defense in which names such as those of Konaté (Leipzig) or Fofana (Leicester), the talent of ‘les Bleus’ is inexhaustible. Aouar (OL), Camavinga (Rennes), Guendouzi (Hertha Berlin), Ikone (Lille) … An absolute outrage.

In England, who will have a last minute leave due to injury to Greenwood (Manchester United), stand out Curtis

The azulgrana Trincao will captain a Portugal that has other ‘Spaniards’ such as Thierry Correia (Valencia) or Jot (Valladolid) and with great projects of players such as Fábio
Scallop (Sporting) or Rafael Leao (Milan). We will also have to keep an eye on Brobbey, pearl of Ajax whose signing recently announced the Leipzig, always on the lookout for emerging talents. Next to Justin
