For the first time in recent years, Georgia has hosted a major soccer tournament that has attracted an enthusiastic and record-breaking turnout of fans. Despite not having any top stars, Georgia U21 were able to compete with the likes of Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands in a tough Group A, thanks to the team's unity of purpose. Georgia U21 may be a little less powerful in terms of strength of comparison, but their style of play is similar to that of the group stage, and they will need to be more cautious in the knockout stages.
Israel U21 defeated Czech Republic U21 1-0 in their last group match to advance to the last eight. The team includes two third-place finishers from the World Youth Cup, including Du Zhenwen, who broke the German goal in the first group game, and Hanayli, who specializes in "left-footed right kicks". Israel U21's tactics are strict, aiming to weaken the opponent's offense. They are expected to adopt a solid counter-attacking strategy, trying to find a breakthrough opportunity on the basis of their solid defense. It's worth noting that they have drawn at half-time in 5 of their last 6 matches, so a draw at half-time may be feasible.
