You don't understand as I have already stated, repeatedly. There is no 'Reserve team league' in Spain. There are lower divisions that include reserve or youth teams of 1st team clubs but they play in them. Our Segunda equates to the Championship in England and at the time Pep began coaching, he took a 4th division side (Barcelona B, a reserve/youth team of Barcelona) against other professional clubs and won them promotion. The same lower divisions that saw Granada recently promoted and temporarily top of the Primera division this past weekend
It's the reason why Pep has called out the uselessness of reserve teams in England. Effectively, he took kids playing against professional men and low level officiating and built a team that was on the verge of being abandoned altogether and won them promotion. Try and let that swirl around a bit & see if it sinks in
