Key Points

Dick Lukkien, head coach of FC Groningen, expressed a strong attitude, in relation to his terrible experience in pre-season friendlies against Greek teams. After their controversial match against AEK Athens, another setback greeted the team when they faced Volos NFC. In the match against Volos NFC, the aggressive behavior of some players could not be avoided: even before the end of the first half, Tyrique Mercera was injured after being hit, while a Volos player even attacked Jorg Schreuders. This caused great shock and disgust to Lukkien, who did not forget to express his feelings in an interview with the local media after the game. It can be remembered that last week, Groningen's match against AEK Athens also became the center of controversy after Travis Hernes was almost seriously injured. Because of this, Lukkien almost pulled his players off the field in protest. He even warned the referee that if something happened again, they would stop the game. In that incident, the referee even sent AEK defender Felipe Relvas off after receiving a red card for a violent move.

Due to this series of incidents, Lukkien made it clear that he no longer wishes to play against Greek teams in the next pre-season. In his interview, he announced to his assistant coach Casper Goedkoop, "We don't need to do this again". For Lukkien, the violent and 'onsportive' style that puts his players at risk seems to be part of the Greek teams' game. It is unlikely that FC Groningen will ever schedule a pre-season match against any Greek club in the future. Despite everything, their pre-season will end with a historic friendly against Real Valladolid. After that, Groningen's Eredivisie campaign will begin with a home game against FC Utrecht. These events gave a warning not only to FC Groningen but to other clubs to be careful in choosing pre-season opponents, especially if safe and good preparation for the season is the real goal.

What's next

Due to the incidents, it is expected that FC Groningen will no longer challenge Greek clubs in the next pre-season. Dick Lukkien has warned that if such accidents happen again, his team may stop the match. FC Groningen's next steps may focus on finding safer and better opponents in their pre-season preparations.
