Adli and Co through to U21 EURO quarter-finals
After three wins in three group matches, France, with Bayer 04 player Amine Adli in the squad, deservedly progress to the quarter-finals in the U21 EURO tournament in Romania and Georgia.
The Les Bleus youngsters started the tournament last Thursday with a game against Italy. Amine Adli came on as a substitute on 79 minutes in a 2-1 win to play his first minutes in the tournament. France then played Norway three days later. Adli scored the only goal of the game on 57 minutes and was substituted shortly after that.
The team under coach Sylvain Ripoll were impressive on the third matchday in Group D: The match against Switzerland on Wednesday night ended in a 4-1 victory. Adli missed the game due to a one-match ban. The win against Switzerland saw France round off the group games with three wins in three matches and end the first stage as clear winners.
quarter-final against UKRAINE
The knockout stages in the U 21 tournament begin on Sunday 2 July. The quarter-final against Ukraine, second in Group B with seven points, kicks off in Cluj at 21.00 CEST.

World Cup finalist from Maradona’s neighbourhood: Profile of new signing Facundo Medina
Villa Fiorito, River Plate, Ligue 1, the World Cup final and now Bayer 04: Facundo Medina’s life story so far has been shaped by special places, clubs, matches and names. One of them is Diego Maradona, who, like Medina, hailed from the south of Buenos Aires. Another is Exequiel Palacios, his former team-mate at River Plate, who was raving about Bayer 04 to him as recently as the World Cup in North America. Medina has now taken the plunge into the Bundesliga and, as an Argentine World Cup runner-up, has joined Bayer 04 from Olympique de Marseille this week. It is set to be the next successful chapter in his career. Leverkusen’s new number 2 brings with him a South American mentality and passion, a wealth of experience from many years in Ligue 1, and a fascinating story to the Rhineland – and to a club where the 1.84-metre-tall left-footed player will be reunited with Palacios and several other familiar faces.
