Betis fans brave the 40 degrees to watch Pepe Mel's team train

The Betis fans have defied the 40 degrees that were still hitting Sevilla at eight in the evening and have filled the main stand of the Luis del Sol Sports City to watch the team's first open training session under Pepe Mel, who returned to work today.

Tarek from Egypt, who has just signed for four seasons, joined a session in which the most acclaimed player was Dutchman Rafael van der Vaart. The 3,000 to 4,000 Beticos present chanted his name several times.
