Although this Germany U19 national youth team could not be said to be full of talent, there were still a few good seedlings.
For example, their goalkeeper Neuer, midfielder Khedira, defensive midfielder Hummels, and forward Podolski.
At that moment, Khedira had just been shaken off by Mata's first move, but he did not give up. He quickly adjusted his center of gravity, twisted his body, and did not hesitate to dive to the ground.
His target was the football at Mata's feet, but Mata sped up at that moment. As a result, Khedira's feet did not touch the football, but directly shoved Mata to the ground from behind.
Mata let out a blood-curdling scream and rolled on the ground.
Khedira was also dumbfounded. His original intention was to go for the football, and he did not want to hurt anyone, he told himself.
Li Ang jumped up in front of the TV. "B * stard!" He was scolding Khedira. If Mata was injured because of this, it would definitely be a huge blow to Sporting de Gijón.
Khedira turned his head to look at the referee. At the same time, he shook his finger, indicating that he did not commit a foul on purpose. It was just an accident.
Khedira, who had turned his head, did not see the manager's face. Instead, a large hand suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then his neck was choked.

"You b * stard!" Carlos growled, gritting his teeth. He saw clearly that the German could have pulled back his foot at the end, but he did not. In the end, Mata was shoved to the ground from behind.
Carlos and Mata had known each other since they were in Sporting de Gijón's B team. One of them was a player that Li Ang had discovered, and Carlos was also Li Ang's brother-in-law. Mata had been a player under Li Ang when they were in Real Madrid. Later, he came to Sporting de Gijón to follow Li Ang. It could be said that these two young guys named Juan were the players who had the closest relationship with Li Ang in Sporting de Gijón. They were the direct descendants of the direct descendants, and their relationship was quite good. Seeing Mata being shoved to the ground by Khedira, Carlos was furious.
The whistle of Schneiderlin, the referee from the Netherlands, rang out. He whistled as he ran over.
The referee made a gesture with his hands, indicating that he was going to let go of her hand!
In front of the television, Li Ang covered his face. When he saw Carlos make a move, he was angry at first. This little b * stard, did he not know how precious this opportunity to join the Spanish national youth team was? Did he not know how to control his temper?!
Of course, Carlos was not doing it for himself. He was doing it for Mata. This more or less made Li Ang less angry.
Whether it was Khedira's shove to Mata's movement, or Carlos's choking, they were all extremely vile.
Khedira, who was choked, was not easy to deal with. He also choked Carlos's neck with one hand. Both of them were red in the face and neck, and their eyes were red. It looked like they were about to fight.
Fortunately, neither of them seemed to have completely lost their minds. They just held each other's necks and glared at each other.
The players from both sides immediately surrounded Carlos and Khedira. The players from both sides suddenly surged forward, intending to fight.
The referee's whistle sounded mournfully.

"This is Carlos's debut in the Spanish national youth team, and now this situation has happened. I really don't know what to say," Dagestino said as he shook his head. Dagstino shook his head and said, "I wonder if Coach Li Ang is watching this game. How would he feel?"
How would he feel? Li Ang really wanted to curse. He was not worried about Carlos now. Carlos would definitely get a red card. This was good. The kid would calm down and return to Sporting Gijón early to participate in the team's training.
He was now worried about Mata. Mata played an important role in his tactical thinking. If Mata was injured, Sporting de Gijón's tactical play, which was slowly becoming familiar with, would inevitably be affected.
Li Ang saw the referee show a red card to Carlos.
Li Ang saw the referee show a red card to Khedira.
Li Ang saw the stretcher enter the field and carry Mata off the field. Then, on the sidelines, Mata limped along with the help of the Spanish national youth team's team doctor. Li Ang saw this and felt relieved. He thought, Thank goodness, thank goodness they did not call an ambulance!
He was most worried about a very serious injury. If he was injured for more than half a year, that was what he was most worried about.
Now that he saw Mata limping along, Li Ang stared at the television screen, hoping to catch Mata's expression and analyze Mata's walking posture. He hoped to get a firsthand judgment.
Carlos, who had been sent off with a red card, walked to the sidelines. The Spanish national youth team U19 manager, Petrogi, looked at the scene expressionlessly. He did not say anything, nor did he come up to comfort the kid who had been sent off as a substitute. Obviously, Petrogi was very dissatisfied with Carlos's lack of calm.
Carlos walked past the expressionless Petrogi. After taking two steps, he asked Mata, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Mata said with a frown. Then he winked at Carlos. "Thank you."
Carlos did not say anything. He just nodded and walked straight to the players' corridor.
"This kid is very cool," the Spanish national youth team doctor, Mr. Tarvalho, said.
"A very good idiot," Mata said with a smile. After taking a step, the pain made him frown again.
*****
In this game, the Spanish national youth team defeated the German national youth team by a score of 1-0. After players from both teams were sent off, the game entered a state of anxiety. Compared to the impact of Carlos's sending off, the impact of Khedira's sending off on the German national youth team was greater. After all, Carlos was only a substitute for the Spanish national team. This was the first time he had been selected for the Spanish national youth team. Khedira could be said to be the core of the German national youth team. His red card departure had a great impact on the German national team's transition between offense and defense.
When the game was over, the players from both teams had another altercation on the field. If it were not for the referee and the coaches from both teams stopping and restraining them, the youngsters from both teams might have had further conflicts.
Juan Carlos's debut for the Spanish national team lasted only twelve minutes. He made three steals, received a red card, and grabbed Khedira's neck.
