it's over guys. we made our run, ended up with 4-3 record, but wasn't enough, we even ended fifth by point differential. we won the games that we could, a suicide cruch time by romania, unexpected because it wasn't adding anything to their competition, left us with 1 win less than we could get.
by the way we had a very good run. we beated teams that are strong, but that play with a larger user base, they can train most of their talented guys since their birth, we don't cos we release free agent 18 y.o. for their whole 18 season.
we can remark the great job two guys did for this team: Yiorgos Kaliasis
(7529531) and Nikos Pikoulas
(6924283) are in the roster since tey were 19 y.o. 3 long season that ended up with yesterday match, a giant game for both of them. as we celebrated Atmatzidis past year we have to celebrate those guys who gave us a long and strong partecipation.
now lots of friendlies await us. I'm thinking about releasing all the 21 y.o. in order to build up the next u21. i'll decide in the next days.
we fought a great war in this european championship. we lost with honor and we gave up to better opponents. I have no regret and I'm satisfied with our Under 21 National Team.
MAY THEY FEAR US!
