Prior to that, the Red Dragons lost to Sydney FC but did secure a comfortable 3-0 win over Melbourne Victory.<\/p>\n
The Welsh outfit have now returned to the UK and will be playing a couple more friendlies before the 2025\/26 season gets underway.<\/p>\n
Now, Shaun Harvey<\/a> has shared an insight into the type of training Wrexham<\/a> have been doing in the build-up to the new campaign.<\/p>\n While out in Australia and New Zealand, Harvey appeared on Ben Foster\u2019s podcast, Fozcast.<\/p>\n The former Wrexham goalkeeper made the trip alongside another ex-player, Ben Tozer.<\/p>\n And when speaking to Foster during the club\u2019s 2025 pre-season tour, Harvey revealed that he was left baffled by what he saw from the players in training.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI watched some training sessions and I genuinely didn\u2019t understand what they were trying to achieve.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean the effort was there, don\u2019t get me wrong. I actually had to ask one of the sports medicine staff just to explain to me what\u2019s going on, because, and Fozzy you\u2019re going to laugh, because there was a team without bibs, one with blue bibs, and one with yellow bibs, and they were passing to each other, and it was all about pressing.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I just hadn\u2019t contemplated what was the purpose of what they were doing here. And then playing disjointed sides, four against three and overloads.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it was just what they try and do in a game, how practising and refining it, but doing it with centre-halves playing at centre forward and just different shapes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a real education, and it will help. It will definitely help when it comes to the recruitment of coaching staff, looking at what it is you need.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wrexham to face FC Groningen<\/p>\n Due to the ongoing renovations at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham cannot currently play any fixtures at home.<\/p>\n So, despite already travelling to Australia this summer, they are once again heading abroad for their next match.<\/p>\n Wrexham will play Dutch outfit FC Groningen in a friendly on Saturday, August 2, kicking off at 3pm local time.<\/p>\n Red Dragons fans have been told they are unable to attend the fixture, which will be streamed on the club\u2019s website instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shaun Harvey travelled to Australia for Wrexham\u2019s 2025 pre-season tour and got an up-close look at the club\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,19371,561,82],"class_list":["post-23672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-shaun-harvey","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Ryan](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-1252079491-1024x683.jpg\")
