Just now, the Barcelona manager, Vilanova, had gathered the players together. The most important thing was to make temporary arrangements and respond to the terrible situation on the field.
However, this was an unexpected situation. It was completely beyond the expectations of the Barcelona people. They did not think that Real Madrid would dare to play like this in order to win the game. To be exact, they did not understand the crazy obsession of the Real Madrid manager to win the game.
Vilanova's adjustments and arrangements before the game were not enough to allow his players to quickly adapt to the field.
After the game started, the Barcelona youth team showed that they were not adapted to the terrible field. Many of the combinations that could usually be played successfully became mistakes because of the field.
The passing power was weak, and the football rolled a few times and stopped in the mud.
The passing power was strong, and the wet turf was like a slide. The football could fly out of bounds directly.
This caused great trouble for the players who received the ball. If you ran too fast and could not stop, you were likely to slip and fall to the ground. If you ran too slow, you simply could not receive the ball.
The young players of Barcelona were indeed very strong and had a tacit understanding of each other. Coupled with a bug-like existence like Messi, it could be said that they dominated the youth echelon league.
However, this game was obviously not a copy of what the Barcelona people were used to!
The field situation!
Some teams would use the field situation as an excuse after losing a game. This often attracted criticism. The field was played on by both sides. The other side could play well. What right did you have to use the field as an excuse?
However, this game was obviously not like that. The terrible field greatly limited Barcelona. They had never played on such a terrible field. It was not that they had not encountered opponents who used small tricks on the field. However, it was the first time they had encountered a team that was so ruthless and insidious like Real Madrid today.
This made the young Barcelona players, who originally had a traditional hatred for Real Madrid, to maintain respect for them while hating them. Now, there was only endless resentment and hatred left.
On the one hand, it was because Barcelona was particularly unaccustomed to the field. On the other hand, it was because Real Madrid was relatively adapted to the field. This imbalance narrowed the gap between the strength of the two teams.
Dribbling the ball as fast as lightning and passing many people in succession was a routine that Little Messi reserved on the field. However, today's game had been going on for fifteen minutes!
What was the success rate of Messi dribbling?!
Only once!
Even this time, after Messi passed a defender, he was tackled to the ground along with the ball and could not continue to move forward. This tackle was very standard and there was no foul.
As for Messi, Li Ang raised the warning level to the highest level.
Li Ang gave special, special, special instructions to the Real Madrid defenders to guard against the small Argentinian. If one person wasn't enough, two people would go! This made the difficulty Messi faced even more. He was looking for the feeling. He wanted to find the feeling of dribbling and breaking through on such turf, but because of the interference of the bodyguards around him, it became difficult to get the ball comfortably.

Even if the two sides were Real Madrid and Barcelona, there was no live broadcast of the under-17 level tournament. However, today's competition was being broadcasted live.
"I've never seen such a terrible field." Harrigan, the commentator of the Spanish radio station SGR, said sarcastically.
"This is not playing football at all. I thought I was watching a group of children playing the game of 'wife carrying.'" His commentator partner, Escudero, complained. The game of 'wife carrying' was a routine during the carnival period. A group of young men and women fought in the mud.
Fàbregas received Pedro's pass and was about to pull the ball and turn around. However, because of the field, the football stopped half a meter away from him. Then people saw de la Red dart over and separated the football from Fàbregas. The latter was just about to start but could not stop in time. His whole body fell forward and lay on de la Red's back. His hands also left palm prints of love on de la Red's white jersey, which was not clean to begin with.
Pfft!
Escudero had just said that the two teams were playing the game of 'wife carrying' when such a scene occurred on the field. He immediately spat.
The referee's whistle sounded and blew for a foul on Fàbregas. Not only that, but he also showed Fàbregas a yellow card because de la Red was about to launch a counterattack after the 'interception.' Fàbregas' foul hindered Real Madrid's counterattack.
Vilanova's face turned green with anger.
"Well done!" Li Ang whistled and gave a thumbs up.
De la Red gasped for breath. When he heard the whistle and saw the coach's thumbs up, the lad was excited.
He was given an important task today. His goal was to freeze Fàbregas. He still remembered the coach's instructions to him before the game to entangle Fàbregas like a sticky candy. What were the attributes of a sticky candy? Just to entangle? NO！ Li Ang put up a finger at that time and made a forward poking motion. He had to have the ability to make use of the opportunity, to have momentum, and to be more flexible. He had to be neither close nor distant and pounce on him at any time.
The coach was very satisfied with his work! For the young players, nothing made them happier than the coach's approval.
The game had been going on for more than 20 minutes. There were two key words.
One was a slip!
The other was a complete mess.
It was simply impossible for both sides to complete the ball well and advance smoothly.
"Now I don't have any hope for the excitement of this game." SGR Radio commentator Halligson shook his head and even yawned.
"It's hard to imagine that a club like Real Madrid would use such a rogue tactic against Barcelona." That's right, Escudero used the term 'shameless tactics', which clearly showed his dissatisfaction. What happened to the Youth Nation Derby? What happened to the collision of the two powerhouse young geniuses? What was it now? Mud war?!
Rogue tactic?! Li Ang could not hear the comments of the radio commentator. Even if he did, he would not care. Winning was the core of everything in this game. So what if he played rogue in order to win?!! This game was a battle of life and death for Li Ang. What's more, he did not think that his team was playing rogue. For today's game, the whole team had put in a lot of hard work and suffering. These efforts were now the capital to fight against Barcelona! It was not something that could be summed up with the word 'rogue.'

In some homes in Madrid and Barcelona, there were still many fans listening to the broadcast of the game. Although they could not see it with their own eyes, they could already imagine the scene of the game from the mouths of the two radio commentators.
In the mud-like field, people were thrown off their feet. It became an extravagant hope to complete a smooth attack. Was this the collision of the young geniuses of Spain's two powerhouse clubs?!
"What kind of football are we playing?"
"This is not Real Madrid's football!"
"What a shame!"
"I've already said that Chinese man is not worthy of Real Madrid."
"Do Chinese people even know football?"
On the Real Madrid fan forum, a discussion post was opened specifically for the youth team's El Clásico. It was a hot topic. Many Real Madrid fans jumped out to criticize Li Ang, thinking that the man's methods and tactics had shamed the century-old powerhouse. Many people also questioned Li Ang's coaching ability.
Of course, there were also some fans who had been paying attention to the under-17 A team. They said some good things for Li Ang and expressed their support. They knew Li Ang better. They knew the level of this person and the progress of Real Madrid's under-17 team under his management. However, such people were in the minority. After all, the base number of people who had been paying attention to the under-17 team was too small. Moreover, out of a kind of arrogance and pride, coupled with the poor impression of China's football in Spain, they firmly believed that Li Ang's level was limited.
On the Barcelona forum, the focus of the Barcelona fans was not the same. They were mocking the Real Madrid people, saying that Real Madrid was afraid of Barcelona, so they could only use small tricks.
In addition, they were mocking Real Madrid for having no one else and actually hiring a Chinese man to be their coach. Li Ang had been the coach of Real Madrid's under-17 A team for a long time. However, Barcelona did not pay attention to this small matter. It was only because of this game against Barcelona that Li Ang entered the sights of the Barcelona people for the first time in such a way.
Barcelona's sarcasm made some Real Madrid fans even angrier. They blamed it all on Li Ang.

Campos was a supermarket warehouse manager. Because of the nature of his job, he was very busy when he was busy. When he was busy, it was usually in the middle of the night. When he was not busy, he was quite free, so he had a lot of time to spend on the Internet.
He was a die-hard Real Madrid fan.
At this time, Campos was also on the Real Madrid fan forum. He was one of the people who attacked Li Ang the most. Just now, Campos went to the Barcelona fan forum to take a look. He was furious. The words of the Barcelona fans were like knives stabbing the Real Madrid fan's heart.
He told himself that he could not go on like this. That Chinese man was a disgrace to Real Madrid. That Chinese man was not worthy of Real Madrid. He did not understand football at all. He was simply a second-rate coach!
Such a person must be expelled!
Campos did what he said. He immediately posted a topic on the fan forum. The title was: Li Ang is a disgrace to Real Madrid. Get out of Chamadin! — — The anger of a die-hard Real Madrid fan!
This loyal fan even spent five euros to buy props and pinned the post to the top. It was so conspicuous that it immediately attracted the attention of many Real Madrid fans.
Many people did not pay attention to the under-17 team's game. At this moment, while they were puzzled, they were also curious and left messages to inquire. Then Campos and other enthusiastic people who were filled with righteous indignation began to dispel everyone's doubts. More and more people gathered, and the post attracted more attention.

On the sidelines, the head of the youth base, Rodriguez, was also watching the game. Next to him was Candelaria, who had been beaten up by Li Ang. He was holding a radio in his hands and wearing headphones. He looked very funny.
From time to time, he reported the commentator's comments on the game to Rodriguez. When he heard the commentator's criticism and sarcasm about Li Ang, the gentleman was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He danced around and almost dropped the radio.
Half an hour later, the score was still 0: 0. There was no change in the score. The most conspicuous change on the field was that the jerseys of the players of both teams had become gray.
Li Ang looked at his watch and said, "It's time." He suddenly walked to the sidelines and waved his arms vigorously. He looked like a willow swaying in the wind.
"Ha, what is Real Madrid's Chinese coach doing? Is he dancing? " The commentator, Escudero, sneered mercilessly. He was disgusted with Li Ang. Many commentators in Spain were "aesthetes." They pursued good-looking football. The kind of offense that flowed freely was their favorite, and it was particularly satisfying to commentate. In Escudero's view, Real Madrid's tactics and tricks today not only made the century-old powerhouse lose face, but also destroyed the art of football. It would be strange if he had a good impression of Li Ang.
Another commentator, Harrigan, also looked at him strangely. What was Real Madrid doing?
Candelaria had just relayed Escudero's sarcasm about Li Ang to his boss, and Rodriguez nodded. The head of the youth base, who was in a good mood, nodded and said, "Think about it carefully and polish a report. I will submit it."
"What?" Candelaria, who was wantonly mocking Li Ang, stared blankly for a moment before he understood what was going on. He was overjoyed. He knew what he had to do. He had to write a report criticizing Li Ang, or it could be said that it was a letter of complaint. This would be a ruthless blow to the higher-ups to kick Li Ang out of the door.
"Leave it to me, sir," Candelaria said respectfully. Candelaria said respectfully with a flattering look on his face. "Do you need me to report it now?" He couldn't wait to kick Li Ang out of Real Madrid right now. Thinking of Li Ang's humiliation of him, thinking of the beating, the hatred in the man's heart surged.
At this time, Candelaria's phone rang. After he picked it up, his eyes were red with excitement. He reported to Rodriguez excitedly. He reported the dissatisfaction and criticism of Li Ang by the Real Madrid fans on the Real Madrid fan forum, especially the post by the fan named Campos, which was the focus of the report.
"Really? That's great! " Rodriguez clapped his hands. It seemed that the Chinese man was angry. If Li Ang arranged for the team to play offensive football and played well, even if they lost the game in the end, Rodriguez would still have some concerns if he wanted to take down Li Ang. But now, this kid was looking for death. The fans were rebelling. He really deserved it.
The fans stood up and wanted to kick Li Ang out. Let's see if you're still alive?!
In the eyes of the top management of these powerhouse clubs, the fans' cries were usually dispensable. No one really cared. But when it was needed, they could make use of it to satisfy the fans' cries. Then, everyone would be happy.
"The Anger of a Die-Hard Real Madrid Fan." This title was too good. Rodriguez gave a hundred likes to this fan.
At this time, no one noticed that some kind of change was quietly happening on the field as Li Ang waved his arm.
