202 new season preparations have begun

Updated: 2012-06-18

In addition to the press conference, the new aid meeting is naturally indispensable to officially debuting to fans at the Lopera Stadium.

Similarly, when Guardiola appeared in front of the fans, he also gave Betis fans a huge surprise.

Originally, the club introduced big-name players like Van der Sar this summer, which made them very excited. Who knew that the club actually brought Guardiola to the team!

In the entire European football world, Guardiola and Van der Sar may have similar influence, but as far as Spain is concerned, it is obvious that the national team's midfield core is more popular!

Through this fan meeting, the newly joined players also felt the enthusiasm of Betis fans and were full of expectations for the new environment and the new season.

The day after the new players' meeting, Betis will officially start gathering to prepare for the new season.

The new season of La Liga will officially start on August 27, but before that, Betis, as the champion of the King's Cup last season, will first participate in the Spanish Super Cup!

Their opponent will be the La Liga champion Real Madrid last season!

In Tang Feng's opinion, the Spanish Super Cup system is a bit of a scam, but it is actually a two-round system at home and away!

Moreover, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the team to withstand the test of a giant like Real Madrid before returning to La Liga.

The first leg of the Super Cup will be held on August 19th. This also means that Betis will have less than one month to prepare for the game.

In the past twenty days, the club arranged five warm-up matches for Betis.

Among them, due to the transfer, Betis will play a warm-up match with Le Mans and Groningen.

Considering that Betis will participate in the UEFA Cup next season, it is actually a good warm-up match with foreign teams.

Betis' opponents in the other three warm-up matches are Everton in the Premier League, Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and Alaves in La Liga.

Before officially starting the warm-up tournament, Betis now needs to integrate the team, at least familiarizes the new players and the old players.

...

Early in the morning of July 25, Guardiola arrived at Betis' training base early.

He found that there were already several figures on the training ground.

He subconsciously looked at the watch. It was still half an hour before the start of the training. He thought he had arrived early. But so many people came earlier than him.

This situation is rare in Barcelona's formation, where stars gather!

This also made Guardiola feel the vibrant atmosphere of this team!

There are no stars here, there are just a group of young people chasing their dreams!

Guardiola suddenly felt that it was obviously very correct to choose to join Betis this summer.

When he also appeared on Betis' training ground, he successfully attracted everyone's attention.

When several young players even dared to come up and say hello when they think of Guardiola as the former Barcelona captain and the captain of the Spanish national team.

In the end, Xavi Alonso, who officially became the team captain in the new season, broke the silence.

"Josep, welcome to Betis!" Xavi Alonso said with his right hand to Guardiola.

"Haha, I'm glad to play football with you young people, Xavi!" Guardiola said with a kind smile and held Xavi Alonso's hand.

Seeing Guardiola calling out his name, Xavi Alonso felt flattered.

After Xavi Alonso's outstanding performance in the past two seasons, many people call him "Redonto of Spain". However, as a member of the Spanish national youth team, Guardiola, the big brother of the national team, is his idol. When the idol stands in front of him, and he can also call his own name, the excitement can be imagined.

After a moment of silence, Xavi Alonso came to his senses. As the captain, he was about to take the initiative to introduce his teammates around him to Guardiola: "Josep, this is David, he is our forward! This is..."

Guardiola interrupted him with a smile: "This is Joaquin, this is Ad, this is Marcos..."

At the scene, the players were stunned and called out everyone's names one by one.

"Is it strange? I have been paying attention to your game last season, or I have become your fan, because your performance is really wonderful!" Seeing everyone looking at themselves in surprise, Guardiola smiled and explained.

There is no doubt that Guardiola was able to call out his teammates' names as soon as he came today, which really made these young players feel a sense of respect.

Guardiola's performance made him easily integrate into this team.

He knew very well that he came to Betis to be his teammate of these young players, not his idol!

If you want to fully integrate into the team's tactics, the best way is to be able to integrate into this group of young people in addition to the game.

...

As training time approaches, more and more people are on the training ground.

Tang Feng also came to the training ground early. Seeing that there was still some time before the gathering, he talked to the players first.

"Hey, Ade, you performed very well this holiday. You don't seem to be much fat!" Tang Feng looked at Adriano and said with a smile.

"Of course, boss. I haven't had a few barbecue meals this summer and I'm still maintaining strength training at home!" Adriano said proudly. After saying that, he bent his right hand and showed his muscles. In fact, even he himself couldn't believe that he would be so conscious this holiday.

"Pablo, I heard you went to Thailand for vacation this summer. You weren't targeted by a shemale? Haha!" Tang Feng then joked about Pablo Alfaro again.

"Don't worry, boss. I took my wife there. Even if they want to look at me, they have to see if my wife agrees or not!" Pablo Alfaro replied with a smile.

Seeing Tang Feng dealing with the players like a friend, Guardiola was also shocked again.

This situation is almost impossible in Barcelona. Guardiola has experienced famous coaches like Cruyff, Robson and Van Gaal in Barcelona over the years.

These famous coaches usually have to maintain their majestic side in front of the players, so Guardiola can't imagine how many of them deal with players like this!

Guardiola suddenly realized that it seemed good that the coach could be able to play like this with the players in normal times. If he became a coach in the future, maybe he could give it a try.

Just as Guardiola was thinking, assistant coach Jose Noggs suddenly blew the whistle in his mouth and shouted: "Okay, time is up, gathering!"

The players obediently stood in two rows and prepared to receive Tang Feng's training arrangements.

First of all, several new players introduced themselves in front of their teammates, and everyone got to know each other.

After this session, Tang Feng started his speech...

"Okay, gentlemen. I regret to tell you that the wonderful holiday has passed! The new season is about to begin. In order not to leave regrets in this season, we must be fully prepared in the pre-season preparations! Well, the old rules, go for a physical examination first. If anyone's health does not meet the standards, sorry, you will be a devil training!" Tang Feng stood in front of the queue, changed his previous casual appearance, and became meticulous.

Seeing Tang Feng’s appearance, the team’s guys who were not restrained during the holidays suddenly felt a little chill!

Then, Tang Feng waved his hand and signaled the players to go for a physical examination.

...

After the physical examination, it can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

Fortunately, the new season has not officially started yet, and they still have about twenty days to get their bodies back to their best condition!

Everyone knows that in the new season, the team eliminated a group of players and introduced a group of players. The competition within the team will be more intense than last season!

If you want to get more opportunities to play in the new season, you must always maintain excellent form.

After the physical examination, Tang Feng first arranged some simple recovery training for everyone.

After a holiday, everyone's bodies were still in a state of rest. They had to wake them up with some recovery training before they could have fierce confrontations and competitions.

Therefore, for some new players who are eager to prove themselves in front of Tang Feng and their teammates, they have to wait a moment.

Standing in the middle of the training ground and looking at the players running around, Tang Feng suddenly felt very passionate.

After some active or passive adjustments this summer, Betis has basically owned two lineups with not much difference in strength.

If there are no large-scale injuries, these two lineups should be enough to cope with the third-line battle in the new season.

Of course, the addition of some new players also means that the team must work together in the early stage of the new season, which may have some impact on the team's performance, but Tang Feng is also mentally prepared for this!

Tang Feng is also quite relieved about these newly introduced players, because they can basically find companions in the team easily.

For example, Kaka has three Brazilian compatriots in the team. Robben also has the big brother Van der Sar, Luis Garcia is a local player, and there is also the big brother Guardiola who comes from La Macia, so he doesn't have any problems.

Drogba, who has lived in France for many years, should also have a common topic with French player Evra, who is also a black player.

As for Maxi Rodriguez, although he has neither compatriots nor old acquaintances in the team, he has a cheerful personality. As an Argentine, he has no language barriers, so Tang Feng is not worried that he will not be able to integrate into the team.

If new players can quickly integrate into the team, Tang Feng will undoubtedly be much more relaxed.
