U16 National Team arrived safe yesterday evening in Luxembourg after a fair participation in the European Championship in Bulgaria .
Ranked 20 out of 24 national teams , our squad could have reached a better result without the injuries of both Sam WOLTER and Chidi DENOVAN in the first two games of the tournament.
The lack of experience of most players, tiredness (1 game per day) and limited rotations were the constraints to make a better result. The last games (vs Denmark or Kosovo) were very close and could have gone in either direction. Luxembourg could have won 2 or 3 games more, but the boys still showed a respectable performance at times and always played with good attitude.
In general, it was a great experience for all players, especially the two young players DIEDRICH Jonathan and CEMAN Dino who were the youngest players in the tournament and can still participate at the U16 Men European Championship for at least one year.
The future belongs to this group of players who need to keep working hard and focus more to reach better rankings in the next seasons.
