U20 is a bit of a weird age selection, at least it is for Italian players. Usually it's only important for the WC, but that squad is often made up of previous U19 players.
I know in South American countries the U20 and U23 are more of a big deal with U20WC and Olympics in mind but it's more U19 and U21 in Italy and many Euro countries.

Yeah U20 usually is not so important. They even play less games if I’m not mistaken, the WC is the only important tournament for them.
But nice for Tongya, probably one of the youngest players in that squad. At times its hard to follow it. Tongya played in both U19 games for us, came in as a substitution at U23, and now is selected for U20. Last year he was important for Italy U17 at the WC. His managers seem to really rate him, although he misses a end product at times. Jack of all trades.

He grew his hair, didn’t had it before. Looks really ugly indeed.
I don’t consider him as one of our best talents at this moment (might change my opinion of course), but have to say that he’s always around. At all the Azzurrini teams, or at our Primavera and almost always plays. That’s a good indication of talent imo. He has all the attributes; creativity, dribbling, can finish and cross, but needs a lot of polishing before becoming a Serie A level player. Sometimes misses really easy chances or passes, or dribbles with the ball to far from his feet.
I was quite surprised that he played for U23, but that are the benefits of promoting your U19 coach I guess.
He’s still very young though. Became 18 this year. Saw him playing in al kind of positions; SS, AM, CM, RW, that’s why I call him a Jack of all trades. Still needs to find his best position, but preforms okay in all of those positions.
Was one of the best players in those 2 U19 matches, so up to him to carry the team as it is his second year there. Scored a few important goals throughout his career at all those youth teams, but no goal machine, neither the creative brain of the team yet.
