At the U21 European Championship finals in Italy and San Marino in 2019, twelve nations compete for the title in three groups. Only the three group winners are sure in the semifinals.

Italy :
Since 1998, the Italian U21 selection has qualified for ten out of twelve finals. In six cases, at least the semi-finals were achieved. Already five times the Azzurrini became European champions in this age group. The last title win, however, is already 15 years ago. 2013 was enough for the final. But two years ago, it was already over after the group stage. In 2019, the Italians want to get the title as hosts. Since September 2017, Italy, since they did not qualify for the European Championships, completed a total of 17 friendly matches. The record here is seven wins, four draws and six defeats. From the recent six games before the start of the European Championship, there was only one victory, against Tunisia. Head coach Luigi di Biagio has six players with A internationals: Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina), Moise Kean (Juventus), Nicolo Zaniolo (Roma), Lorenzo Pellegrini (Roma), Gianluca Mancini (Atalanta) or Nicolo Barella (Cagliari Calcio) Bets in the squad.
For the start of the European Championship, the Italians were faced with a difficult task with the match against Spain. And the “Seleccion” also began very playful and joyful and went after only nine minutes in the lead. By contrast, the European champions came into play slowly, but were able to equalize through Chiesa before the break. In the second round, the Azzurrini were the game-determining team and went through the second goal of the captain of Fiorentina in the lead. After the residue, the Spaniards woke up again, but found no way through against the defensive of the Italians. The decision came in the 82nd minute after a penalty to 3: 1. With the success against the Spaniards went for Italy a series of four internationals in a row without a victory to the end.
Poland:
The Polish U21 national team made it to 2019 for the second time in a row for an EM. In 2017, they hosted the finals, but picked up only one point in three preliminary rounds and were condemned for watching the rest of the tournament. Between 1982 and 1994, the Bialo-Czerwoni managed a total of five times in the quarterfinals of the U21 European Championship. In qualifying for the 2019 European Championship, the team of coach Czeslaw Michniewicz showed strong performances with six wins and four draws. Nevertheless, this yield was only enough for second place behind Denmark. Thus “Polska” had to play in the playoffs against Portugal for a ticket to the European Championship.
Here, the Poles lost the first leg at home with 1: 0, but then with a 3-1 away victory but still secure the participation. Dawid Kownacki of Fortuna Dusseldorf was with eleven goals, the best marksman of Poland in qualifying. In the first game of the final round, the Polish offspring had to play against Belgium. The Bialo-Czerwoni started restrained and left the “Young Devils” the ball. The Belgians also took advantage of the ball possession to the early lead, but then had to accept the compensation as if from nowhere. The hit unsettled the offspring of Belgium, who became more and more passive. “Polska” took advantage of these uncertainties and increased in the second round to 3: 1. Only then came Belgium back into the game, but managed only the connecting goal to 2: 3.
