Report: Outstanding players in UEFA U19 European 2008

1) Deniz Naki

In my opinion the best of the tournament. Playing as a forward he didn´t score any goal but showed all his class and his individual technique, also his capacity of invention and intelligence. He was described before in this blog.

2) Krisztian Nemeth & Alberto Paloschi

Very dinamic, quick and intelligent forwards, they stand on their movements inside the pitch. Dangerous, searching for goal, with instinct, can play in team. They also are very good technically.

3) Tomas Vaclik, Peter Gulacsi & Vincenzo Fiorillo

Super solid and complete stoppers. They give lot of confidence to their respective teams: with personality, agile, great placing, determined, secure.

4) Dennis Diekmeier

The best defender of the tournament. As a right back had lot of inflence in the attack of his team. Very good technique, quick, selfless, good body, dangerous crosses, excellent aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

5) Lars Bender, Fran Mérida, Jan Moravek, Andrea Poli & Daniel Parejo

All are creative central midfielders, of different features, but with quality, vision and very good passing ability. They have shown their skills and abilities, most of them need to improve in their deffence.

6) Timo Gebhart, Jordi Alba, Marcel Risse, András Gosztonyi, Giacomo Bonaventura, Martin Zeman, Savio Nsereko & Daniel Rose

Skilful wingers with cheek and good technique conditions. Quick, constant, very interesting crosses. They are also of different characteristics, they love going forward and attacking.

7) Ignacio Camacho, Attila Busai & Jan Hable

Solid deffensive midfielders with pace, good placing in the pitch, and aggressive in the way they play. Know when and how to do tactical fouls, they have temper and always try to do their best, in the benefit of the team.

8) Tomas Necid, Stefano Okaka Chuka & Richard Sukuta-Pasu

Tall and reference strikers, they can play both back and forward to goal. They do a great job for the benefit of the team, know to score aswell.

9) Daniel Sturridge, Aarón Ñíguez & Fernando Martín Forestieri

Skilful and mobile forwards with great technique and many skills, however they need to improve in their respective game reading and sometimes they abuse trying individual move, have to learn to give the ball to a teammate earlier. Lot of quality in their boots.

10) Others: Olivier Nagy, Jack Cork, Florian Jungwirth, Matteao Gentili & Mikel Sanjosé

Defenders who showed they have to be observed for the future. Nagy is a very offensive right back, Cork palyed also a right back with lot of criteria. Jungwirth, Gentili and Sanjosé are very solid full backs, with outstanding physcical conditions.

Hi!

I enjoy reading your review about these young talents

I'm a supporter of Germany's team, and especially a big fan of Naki.. never knew or heard about him up until I saw his first game at the tournament, & he already impressed me with his skills

Necid, Gebhart & Diekmeier were very interesting to watch as well

could hardly wait to see them at U-20 World Cup next year

(btw I was the one who uploaded that Youtube clip about Naki ;) )

You are also welcomed!

Very good your summary of the performances of Naki in the U19 European, I feel he can be a very important player in the world in the next years.

Germany had a great team despite casuaties, I think the team is able to do a great job in U20 World Cup, we will see if they sum other interesting players as Marin, Fischer, Vrzogic or Choupo-Moting.

Another good work! I am the anonym who
talked to you about diekmeier and naki

"we will see if they sum other interesting players as Marin, Fischer, Vrzogic or Choupo-Moting..."

... and one or two Krooses! What a shame Vrzogic and Choupo-Moting got injured before the U19 tournament.

I would like to see Sascha Bigalke, too. Very interesting guy. The only problem is his height (1m67).

This U19 combo just = U19 Leverkusen + U19 1860 Munich + some others. How can Leverkusen and 1860 keep these players?

Thanks a lot! I remember who you are, jeje.

Sascha Bigalke needs to gain body and improve his physic to become more decisive, I think if not he is going to struggle to become a different player. However, is very skilled, has great technique and very good vision.

Toni Kroos could also be in the U20, lot of quality and calm. I haven´t seen Felix but I think maybe he is too young.

From this generation also Kevin Pezzoni could have an important place in the team. I liked a lot David Vrzogic when i saw him in the U17 European, however he isn´t lucky with injuries.

The Leverkusen and 1860 Munich generations are really exciting, I think Bayer is a team which gives opportunities to their junior player, also Munich, but maybe needs to promote to Bundesliga this year if doesn´t wanna lose Lars Bender and Gebhart.
