PSV youngster Ismail Aissati, seventeen years of age, was not only the youngest player of the EuroU21 in Portugal, but he was also the most exciting player of the tournament, according to the UEFA.com pundits.'Maturity beyond his years'' Although the youngest at 17, Aissati was perhaps the most exciting player on show in Portugal. The PSV Eindhoven prodigy was unafraid to carry the ball forward, with a trick here and a flick there, while retaining a midfield maturity beyond his years. Even in the dying seconds of an exhausting semi-final epic against France, Aissati found the necessary fuel for a run and shot that very nearly clinched victory, was the motivation on UEFA.com. Apart from Ismail Aissati, three more Holland U21 players were named for the team of the tournament: Dwight Tiendalli, Urby Emanuelson and Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
