5 treats from Under 21 European Championship Young, strong and a bit famous: small ranking to make a good impression with friends in two or three years

Since 24 March, the Under-21 European Championships have been taking place in some stadiums in Slovenia and Hungary, to which all the best teams on the continent have qualified. Italy, Spain, England, France, Portugal and Germany are challenging each other in 4 different groups along with Croatia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, Denmark, Iceland, Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. The final is scheduled for June 5 in Ljubljana, in the new Stožice Stadium. 

Italy started their journey in Group B with two draws against the Czech Republic and Spain (and three expulsions), but also for The Azzurri fans, this tournament is an opportunity to inquire and look at the talents of the future of European football. As much as there are great players on the pitch from top clubs (Puig and Mingueza from Barcelona, Smith-Rowe from Arsenal, Szoboszlai from Leipzig), the most interesting are perhaps the niche players, young and very young who have not yet been included in great European football. But through these matches, they can build a nice showcase.

Born in Belgium but of National French, Adrien Truffert is a full-back who will be talked about. In France under 21 (with a Transfermarkt value of 462 million euros) Truffert could almost go unnoticed alongside his fellow millionaires (Konaté, Edouard, Camavinga). But in terms of substance, his performance is no lower than that of his most famous companions. It is a 2001 and he plays for Rennes, starting as a left-back and with good reviews from the French media. With several Champions League appearances, Truffert has distinguished himself in the coverage phase thanks to a great speed with which he manages to recover immediately after the offensive tears: in fact, he is also a great crosser and is, from a good modern side, very active in the finishing phase. It's not impressive physically, but speed and good technique make him one of the most attentive on the French.
