VFF sets 'difficult conditions' for Coach Park; Legendary San Siro Stadium is about to be demolished

European U21 Championship: France leads Romania into semi-finals

Before the final match of Group C, France and Romania both had 6 points after 2 wins.

However, not both teams had already secured tickets to the semi-finals before the match due to the regulations of the 2019 European U21 tournament, which only took the 2 first-place teams and 1 best second-place team from the 3 groups to the semi-finals.

That means the two teams need a draw to be able to enter the semi-finals together.

In fact, at Orogel Stadium-Dino Manuzzi, the two teams did not play too fiercely. Romania, with what they showed in the first two matches, showed a greater desire to win, but in the final moments, the strikers of the Eastern European team could not succeed in putting the ball into Bernardoni's net.

Meanwhile, with the policy of playing for 1 point, the number of opportunities that France created was not many and the score 0-0 was maintained until the end of the match.

Thus, the 4 teams that have qualified for the U21 European semi-finals have been determined, including Spain (first place A), Germany (first place B), Romania (first place C) and France (best second place).

In the semi-finals, Germany will meet the team that can be considered the phenomenon of the tournament - Romania while France will meet Spain.

The above 4 teams will also represent European football in the men's football event of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The legendary San Siro stadium is about to be demolished

The iconic stadium in Milan will be demolished and replaced by a future office tower.

This information was personally confirmed by AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni: "We have decided to demolish San Siro stadium and build a more modern stadium with a capacity of 60,000 seats in the nearby area."

Accordingly, Milan and Inter will have to submit detailed plans to the City Council and continue to play at San Siro until the new stadium is completed.

AC Milan have put forward the idea for a new stadium. Inter were initially reluctant but eventually decided to join in. The project will cost the two Milanese clubs around £630 million. The new stadium is expected to be completed before the 2022/23 season, assuming all goes well.

Built in 1925, San Siro, also known as Giuseppe Meazza, is the venue for many important events in the history of world football. Four European Cup finals and many fierce World Cup matches took place here. The name San Siro has been imprinted in the minds of many generations of football fans in general and those who love Italian football in particular.

According to some sources, the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atalanta with a capacity of 71,000 seats will be used as a model to build the next "common roof" of Milan and Inter.

New Director of Football Leonardo predicts a difficult summer. He is trying to streamline two talented and troubled Brazilian players, Neymar and Alves, but the shopping is quiet. Allan, who is attending Copa America 2019, has officially announced that he will stay at Napoli next season.

Mr. Leonardo also found it difficult to succeed in buying de Ligt from Ajax because the 19-year-old midfielder wanted to join Juventus more.
