The Colombians enter the U-20 World Cup with a generation of which much is expected, since these boys have had great growth in football in recent years. Colombia was part of Group C together with Israel, Japan and Colombia, everything indicates that the duel against the Italians will be key to define the possibilities of advancing to the next round and determine how far this team can go. Those led by Héctor Cardenas are not favorites to lift the youth title, but they are expected to have a good tournament and get to the next round. This generation of footballers presents interesting players who are looking to gain a starting position in different teams within of his country. Among the most outstanding players we find Oscar Cortés, Gustavo Puerta, Yasér Asprilla, Tomás Gutierrez and Fernando Álvarez, several of these guys are already part of the Colombian league and others are fighting to be considered in teams outside their country. We will see how far these young people can go.
Cesare Casedei, a must see player!
The Italian midfielder is one of the most important figures of this generation, he seeks to continue his development in the team and now, with the greater possibility of having minutes at Chelsea, he will have more opportunities to show his quality and help for the team to have a good season in the Premier League for next year. Now, his main objective is to establish himself as an important part of the team's forward line and continue to show the high level of last season. This started the season in a good way, at the moment he has 6 goals and 1 assist in 28 games played.

The Italian team will participate in this duel with the aim of getting among the best 4 in the competition and the Italians will face the Colombian team in the Quarterfinals. Italy was part of Group D along with Brazil, Nigeria and the Dominican Republic, where they finished in second place behind Brazil with 6 points, after 2 wins and 1 loss. Italy arrives as one of the favorites for the title of this U-20 World Cup and they will seek to continue the championship in the best way. Those led by Carmine Nunziata come to this U-20 World Cup with some interesting names, with Tommaso Baldanzi, Cesare Casadei, Francesco Esposita, Gabriele Guarino and Matteo Pratti being the most prominent. The player base already arrives with minutes played in Italian soccer and some of them are even looking for minutes in other parts of European soccer, which is why a lot is expected of this team.
