Li Ang sat in the technical area and watched the young players warm up. Even for a super powerhouse like Real Madrid, the facilities in the youth training base were very old. The so-called technical area was actually a few willow benches.
Li Ang was observing his players. These kids were the key to whether the team could beat Barcelona today.
He looked at these players, but he was comparing them in his mind. He knew the future development trajectory of these players, and those were the most precious "reference material."
Granello, the midfielder, was good at passing. Straight passes, cross passes, and overhead passes were all his specialties. Although he was not dazzling in Real Madrid, which was full of stars, he was very selfless, not greedy for credit, and had some leadership qualities. Later, after entering the First Team, as a member of Real Madrid's rotation, he could often complete wonderful performances in the few minutes he was on the field, delivering the finishing blow or assisting the finishing blow. He was once loaned to Getafe and played well in the side midfielder position. Later, when he returned to Real Madrid, his position gradually moved to the middle. However, in the end, he could not stay in Real Madrid.
Harvey Garcia joined Real Madrid's echelon when he was 13 years old. His physical condition was very good, and his overall vision and skills were good. He was regarded as the type of defensive midfielder between Vieira and Makelele. However, the current Harvey Garcia was not physically strong. He was a good seedling, but he could not get a chance to play in Real Madrid's First Team, which was full of talent. Later, he was loaned out, and Real Madrid had the priority to buy him back. Garcia played well in Osasuna, so Real Madrid chose to buy him back. The poor kid thought that his spring had come for him at the Bernabéu. Who knew that Real Madrid bought him back just to sell him at a good price?
Granello? Well, Li Ang looked at the boy, who was still a little thin and weak. The child played well in the midfield, had a wide field of vision, and had a pass. However, he could not avoid being loaned out by Real Madrid, and in the end, he was sold to Getafe at a low price.
Gee, Getafe was really the last paradise for these little guys produced by Real Madrid. Li Ang shook his head.
Of course, there was also José Callejón, who was now a huge fan of Li Ang. This kid's strength was not bad, but he did not escape the fate of leaving Real Madrid. He was packaged and sold to Napoli by Real Madrid and the smoking gun, Higuaín.
There was also the goalkeeper position. Whether it was Adan or Casillas, they were all good seedlings. It was a pity that Real Madrid's First Team's Casillas was too monstrous. There was no day for the youth team's goalkeepers to shine.
In the end, Li Ang set his eyes on de la Red. Looking at the high-spirited big boy, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh. Among the young players under him, the most unfortunate one was de la Red. He was once regarded by the Spanish media as a player whose talent was comparable to Messi's. He was young, energetic, had great stamina, strong drive, excellent in short passes, thoughtful in dribbling, stable and accurate in long passes, good overall vision, and excellent footwork. Furthermore, his mentality and ability had been honed through his time as a substitute and on loan. His style of play had also gradually evolved from a weak one to a fierce one. In the 100-meter dash, he was second only to Torres, Villa, and Iniesta in the Spanish national team at that time.
Unfortunately, due to heart problems, he was unfortunately forced to retire in 2010 at the age of 25. At that time, the media exclaimed that the heavens were jealous of the talents. In Real Madrid, there had always been a saying that if de la Red had not retired due to illness, Real Madrid would not have needed to buy Harvey and Alonso later. De la Red could be said to be the only player among Li Ang's young players who had been unanimously recognized by the Real Madrid Club. Of course, unlike the other young players, de la Red was born in 1985 and was now 18 years old. He was a little "overage" in this echelon. De la Red was injured. After he recovered from his injury, he dropped down to the under-17 team to find his form.
After de la Red announced his retirement in 2010, he later became an assistant coach in Real Madrid's youth training. Occasionally, he could be seen at Real Madrid's senior players' games. In addition, it was because of this guy that Real Madrid's senior players were invincible in the senior players' games. The other powerhouses were not willing to play with Real Madrid's senior players. Among a group of middle-aged men in their forties, fifties, and sixties, there was a kid who was not even 30 years old joining in the fun. No wonder they were unwilling.
Li Ang admired de la Red very much. It was really a pity that he retired at the age of 25 because of a heart attack.
Li Ang squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand. He had been thinking about it. In fact, although the cards in his hands were not as good as Barcelona with Messi and the others, the strength of Real Madrid's under-17 team was quite good. It was a pity that this group of children could not stay in Real Madrid. In fact, Real Madrid's youth training camp had cultivated many players with potential. However, due to Real Madrid's policy of importing big-name star players, there was no room for these grass-roots children at Bernabéu. Later, they basically left Real Madrid. It could be said that Real Madrid's youth training camp had transfused the blood of all of Spain and even half of Europe.
Just like the children under Li Ang, they were basically all exiled by Real Madrid. The only one who could stay in Bernabéu had retired early because of a heart attack. This was really …
"These are the children under my command!" Li Ang took a deep breath. He wanted to rely on this group of children to win this war.
Of course, the opponent was also a group of children.
At this time, the group of children from Barcelona's youth team came in through the front door.
Li Ang saw a few familiar faces in the crowd — Leo Andrés Messi, Francesco Fàbregas, Bernabéu Piqué Gerrard, Sergio Busquets, and Pedro Rodriguez.
Compared to the players from Real Madrid under Li Ang, who later wandered to other clubs, the fame and achievements of the children from Barcelona were obviously much greater. The owners of these names would occupy a place in the international football world in the future.
Messi's achievements were needless to say. The other players were also the absolute main force of the powerhouses.
Li Ang stared at Messi. This guy had a bad taste. He stared at Messi's height and muttered, "He's not short." Although there was a big difference compared to some tall boys of his age, there was not a big difference between him and an ordinary child.
In later years, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were the absolute twins of football. Each had countless fans. The two sides had a long-term confrontation and competition. There were also some words that went out of line and attacked each other. Among them, there was a matter of using Messi's height. Although Li Ang was not bragging, he also felt that it should not be. He was neither a super fan of Cristiano Ronaldo nor a fan of Messi. It could be said that he was a fan of these two men. In Li Ang's view, as a fan, he should feel lucky that there were such two superstars in the football world. He should be happy that he was in the era of the Peerless Twins. He should be happy that he could see such a genius performance and cheer for football. That was enough.
At this time, Messi was not strong, but he was not weak either.
The long-haired Argentinian boy looked around curiously. Behind him was Piqué. The child had been encouraging Messi in his ear. "Leo, f * ck the Madridistas! F * ck them! It's my treat! "
