After several days of restorative training, the players' condition has been restored a lot, Tang Feng also led the team to start this summer's warm-up tour.

The opponent in the first warm-up match was Robben's old club Groningen.

Groningen is just a mid- and lower-level team in the Eredivisie, and his strength is relatively average. For Betis, who is still in the recovery stage, he is obviously a good opponent.

In this game, Robben also got the opportunity to start and face his old club.

In addition, the four new players, Alves, Kaka, Guardiola and Van der Sar, also got the opportunity to start.

In other positions, Tang Feng basically maintained the main lineup of last season.

After the game started, the one who performed the most proactively was undoubtedly Robben, who faced his old club.

Under Tang Feng's instructions, the team also focused on the offense on the left.

There is no doubt that Groningen's players are the ones who are most familiar with Robben, but sometimes, when you are familiar with someone on the football field, it does not mean that you can limit him!

Robben is such a player. Now, limited to the left, his offensive methods are not as rich as in the future. He is basically a quick move from the cross from the bottom.

Even so, facing Robben's extremely fast pace and extremely confusing shaking, Groningen's right-back was only able to be broken through again and again.

Finally, in the 18th minute of the first half, Robben made a cross after a breakthrough on the left, helping Adriano in the middle to break the deadlock on the court!

After scoring the goal, Adriano was also excited to give Robben a hug!

If Adriano was worried that after Vicente left, he would have a firepower point left by his side, after seeing Robben's performance these days, he felt relieved again!

The Dutch team is originally focused on attacking and defensiveness, and Groningen is even more so.

Tragically, their attack power is not strong, but their defense is very bad.

So, the next game almost became the offensive performance of Betis.

In the 27th minute, Kaka shook the absenteeism at the front of the penalty area and then shot hard and opened Groningen's goal, 2-0!

Before the end of the half, Guardiola, who was inserted in the back, sent a scalpel-like straight pass to the right rib of the penalty area. Joaquin caught up and took a low shot from the far corner with his right foot, three to zero!

In the second half, after the change of sides, Tang Feng almost replaced the entire team in one breath, allowing other players to play one after another.

These players who came on the bench obviously didn't want to miss this opportunity to perform.

Just six minutes into the opening game, Villa expanded the score to four-to-zero in a counterattack!

Halfway through the second half, Maxi Rodriguez completed a shot after cutting inside, and successfully expanded the score to five-to-zero.

In the subsequent games, Betis still took the absolute initiative on the field.

However, the score has never been expanded again, and even Groningen got a one-on-one chance after a counterattack.

However, Van der Sar's decisive host rejected the opponent's striker's single shot!

In the end, the score of this warm-up match was also set at 5-0, and Betis had a good start for the preparations for the new season!

After playing Groningen, Betis turned to Le Mans, France, and fulfilled the warm-up match with Le Mans.

In this game, Tang Feng let Drogba appear in the starting lineup, and equipped him with Robben and Joaquin, the Magic Wings, and Evra and Alves, the full-back with strong assists.

There is no doubt that Drogba's header advantage will be fully reflected today.

Sure enough, Drogba was able to keep getting kicks from two sides in the penalty area during the game.

Finally, half an hour after the game was in progress, he scored a goal.

However, before the end of the first half, he received a straight pass from Kaka in the penalty area and was about to form a single shot. He actually swaggered the ball into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper by a scammer.

This also made Tang Feng determined to improve Drogba's good ball ability in training!

After all, for an excellent center, protecting the ball and making balls for teammates should be a necessary skill. The ball is even more critical when catching the ball in the penalty area. It can be said that it is a slight difference, but a huge mistake!

As a veteran, Tang Feng has also seen the all-round performance of the monsters during the Chelsea era.

Therefore, Tang Feng also believes that after the special training he arranged, Drogba may become a super center more terrifying than the later monster!

In the opening stage of the second half, Le Mans seized a chance to be inattentive in the backcourt of Betis, broke through the goal guarded by Van der Sar, and tied the score one-to-one.

Faced with this situation, Tang Feng decisively replaced Kaka with Adriano and played the double tower tactic!

Betis' offense has also completely moved to two wing roads!

Adriano and Drogba, the powerful "double German" combination, made Le Mans' penalty area mess up in chaos.

Finally, halfway through the second half, Adriano's header gave Betis another lead.

Before and after the game, Guardiola, who was inserted into the game, locked the score at 3-1 with a long shot!

Betis also successfully won two consecutive wins in the warm-up match!

After playing these two warm-up matches that were connected due to player transfers, Betis rushed to Wolfsburg, Germany, where they will participate in the "Volkswagen Cup" warm-up match held by Wolfsburg's main sponsor Volkswagen.

The other two teams participating are Everton in the Premier League and Alaves in La Liga.

The "Volkswagen Cup" competition system is not an elimination system, but four teams play round-robin games. The team with the highest points will win the championship in this event.

For the three teams that were facing this time, Tang Feng had collected their information through Boas before.

Everton's head coach is not Moyes yet, and Chinese player Li Tie has not joined this team yet. This Everton is just a team that works hard to relegate every year.

However, Tang Feng still saw Graveson in this Everton team, former England international center Campbell and forward Murray and other famous players.

As for Wolfsburg, although they own the rich sponsor Volkswagen, their current status in the Bundesliga is about the same as Everton in the Premier League.

In addition to La Liga mid-range team Alaves and newly promoted Betis, the "Volkswagen Cup" warm-up match is like their name, which is a warm-up match for some Volkswagen teams to participate in.

In the first round of the "Volkswagen Cup", Betis ushered in the strong enemy Everton.

It is not difficult to see from the Everton team's lineup that they are a traditional British team.

There are two strong centers on the front line, two wing forwards in the midfield, and two central defenders in parallel, and two tall British central defenders on the back line.

In response to this situation, Tang Feng did not let Adriano and Drogba play two centers today, but tried the strikeless tactics he used last season.

Judging from the formation, Betis's team lined up 433, and Tang Feng sent Villa, Maxi Rodriguez and Joaquin on the front line.

Although Villa and Maxi Rodriguez are both forwards, Tang Feng's use of them is very different from that of the traditional forward.

Behind them is Kaka, Kaka's speed and long shots will be a key link in today's lineup.

After the game started, facing Everton's way of playing high, Betis, who was used to the ground attack on La Liga, seemed a little uncomfortable.

To a certain extent, the physical flow of England teams is often the natural enemy of La Liga technical flow teams.

Although his team suffered a little in the scene, Tang Feng did not doubt his formation.

He believes that as the game deepens and adapts to the opponent's playing style, his team will show the power of this lineup.

Sure enough, after resisting the opponent's impact for more than ten minutes, Betis began to show their strong ground ball control ability.

Several technical players in the midfield and frontcourt frequently used one kick to tease the big men of Everton.

Soon, Everton's clumsy back line appeared in an open position.

Kaka also noticed this gap keenly, and he sent a straight pass to the gap!

Maxi Rodriguez appeared on the ball route. He suddenly rushed into the penalty area and obviously caught him off guard when he was more active on the wing.

After receiving the ball, he faced the goalkeeper who was attacking and calmly pushed and shot!

One to zero!

Everton's defenders looked at each other and seemed at a loss for such a goal.

Tang Feng on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction.

He knows that in this UEFA Cup, his team will encounter various styles of teams. This means that Betis needs to develop different tactics based on different styles of opponents.

With so many talented attackers with different characteristics in the team, Tang Feng will not be afraid of any style of team!

After the game started again, Betis still controlled the game through strong control.

However, Everton is still launching an attack in their way.

When the game was almost half an hour ago, they cooperated with a simple cross from the wing and broke through the Betis's goal with Campbell's header.

Looking at the Evertons celebrating, Tang Feng also discovered a weakness of the team.

That is air defense capability!

In Betis' team, Pablo Alfaro is the only central defender with a height of more than 1.85 meters.

In this way, Betis will undoubtedly suffer when facing some excellent teams in the UK, Germany and Nordic.

Tang Feng actually thought about introducing some tall central defenders, but he also knew very well that some outstanding tall central defenders may not be able to adapt to the pace of La Liga. And those outstanding central defenders who are both tall and flexible are definitely sky-high.

Therefore, he has never been in a hurry to renovate the defense line.

Now it seems that we should make reserves in this area and find some of the best in the central defender position!

After the game started again, Betis was not affected by the goal conceding and was still using his strong control ability to control the game.

And, they successfully exceeded the score again before the end of the first half!

This time it was Villa who scored the goal!

He pulled to the left and after continuous horizontal dribbling inward, he broke through Everton with a curved ball and scored the goal!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Everton and Betis were still using their own special methods to attack the opponent's defense!

However, it was not until the end of the game that the score on the field was rewritten again.

The goal was Everton, and it was still a cross from the side, but this time the ball was pushed out of the penalty area. However, their midfielder Gravesen appeared on the line of the ball and then blasted the goal guarded by Van der Sar with a heavy cannon.

At this time, the game had entered the injury stoppage time, which can be said to be a final kill.

In the end, the score was also locked in 2-2, and Betis had no choice but to usher in the first draw in the "Volkswagen Cup"!
