Excitement before the Greece game

National coach Antonio Di Salvo, who played in the region during his active career from 2001 to 2006, has not yet decided on a permanent captain or a clear number one for the U21s. He would like to keep this decision open in order to get to know the players better and assess their potential. The upcoming game against Greece will certainly be a tough test as the Greeks also won 5-0 and bring with them talented players like Stefanos Tzimas, Charalampos Kostoulas and Georgios Koutsias. Di Salvo demands dominance and passion from his team on the pitch.

In the last encounter, the entire width of the squad was used. In the friendly against Albania, the Germans achieved a 2-0 win, with many players receiving playing time after the match. “The goal is clear: win every game and constantly improve,” said Di Salvo.
