Month: April 2024

Among the English Premier League players, Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) is by far the most outstanding Korean player. The biggest number of fans supported him.

The EPL secretariat asked the question on its official YouTube channel on the 8th (Korea Standard Time), “Who is the best Korean player who has played in the EPL?” Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), active EPL players Park Ji-sung, who played for Manchester United in the past, and Lee Chung-yong (Ulsan HD), who played for Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace, were nominated.

Among the four, Son Heung-min received overwhelming votes. As of 4 p.m. on the 9th, 430,000 fans participated in the vote, and 74 percent took Son Heung-min. About 318,200 people chose Son. 메이저 토토사이트

Park Ji-sung and Lee Chung-yong, who previously played in the EPL, made good impressions on the British stage, while Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan are currently in the process. Thanks to them, the status of Korean soccer has been further elevated. The EPL Secretariat conducted this survey, which proves how well the Korean players are performing.

Fans expressed their thoughts through comments as well. One fan praised Park, “Park Ji-sung is very underrated, but Son Heung-min is more than that.” This received favorable responses from many fans. Another fan wrote, “Park Ji-sung has been incredibly good, and Son Heung-min has gone one step further to become the best player in Korea. I think this progress (of Korean soccer) is a good thing.”

A fan who supported Hwang gave a thumbs up, saying, “Hwang has improved remarkably this season. I would not be surprised to see him play for the top six teams in the (EPL) in the near future.” A fan who remembers Lee’s performance said, “Lee Chung-yong was a technical and impressive player at Bolton. Rumors once spread that he would move to Arsenal or Liverpool. If there were no injuries, he would have gone to a better club.”

Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan currently boast the best stock prices in the EPL. They are both main scorers in their teams. Son scored 12 goals and five assists, while Hwang Hee-chan scored 10 goals and three assists in 20 league matches. The two Korean players are currently ranking third and sixth in the EPL scoring rankings.

Park Ji-sung joined the EPL in 2005 as a member of Manchester United’s uniform, opening a new horizon as a “defensive winger.” He established himself as Manchester United’s “Unsung Hero” by banking on his energetic play. His ability to score goals in important situations was superb.

Lee Chung-yong, who joined Bolton in 2009, was sensational. At the time, Bolton used to play thick soccer by connecting the players from the back to the front at once, but the atmosphere changed when technician Lee Chung-yong joined the team. Lee showed outstanding dribbling and crossing skills, and made his name on the British stage by banking on his outstanding performance against strong teams such as Liverpool. However, due to his serious injury, he failed to continue his top-notch performance.

France’s “Foot Mercato” reported, “Mbappe and Real Madrid have reached an agreement. Now, the tension over Mbappe’s transfer will disappear.” The cloud in front of Mbappe seems to disappear. The transfer to Real Madrid is becoming visible.

England’s ‘The Sun’ also said, “Mbappe will join Real Madrid as an amazing FA this summer. Real Madrid and Mbappe have finally reached an agreement, and Carlo Ancelotti will get the man in July.” 슬롯사이트 순위

The Sun didn’t stop there. It unveiled its “Best 11” for Real Madrid, which Mbappe joined. The list is truly an “insane squad.” The world’s strongest offense, the world’s strongest midfielder, and the world’s strongest defense have made brilliant moves. Even the goalkeeper is the best in the world.

Overwhelming squad with barely any rivals in sight. The strongest squad in existence, with Erling Holland and Kevin De Bruyne, looks much stronger compared to Manchester City.

Here’s the best 11 they revealed. Thibaut Courtois was selected as the goalkeeper in a 4-3-3 formation. David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Orelian Chouameni, and Daniel Carvajal worked together for the four-back. The midfield consists of Toni Kroos-Jude Bellingham-Luka Modric, and the three-top consists of Vinicius-Kylian Mbappe-Hodrigo.

Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrigo will also be joined by Bellingham, whose attacking power is exploding. In the back, legendary midfielders Kroos and Modric are supported. Courtois, who is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world with a solid four-back, is flawless. There is no expression other than “crazy.”

“Mbappe usually plays on the left wing, but he is likely to move to the center from Real Madrid to accommodate Vinicius and Rodrigo. Bellingham, who is the top scorer in Spain’s Primera Liga, will stay behind. Mbappe’s partnership with Bellingham will scare any team in Europe. Behind them are Cross and Modric. Both players can provide Mbappe with a five-star service,” he stressed.

In addition, Mbappe’s attacking partners are some of the most valuable players in the world’s soccer community. According to data from the CIES Football Observatory under FIFA, Bellingham ranked first in the world with 231 million pounds (3867 billion won).

Holland ranked second with 217 million pounds (363.2 billion won), followed by Mbappe’s offensive partners Vinicius and Hodrigo with 216 million pounds (361.6 billion won) and 214 million pounds (358.2 billion won), respectively. Mbappe is playing with three of the four most valuable players in the world.

Coach Klinsmann, who is training in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates ahead of the Asian Cup, told the players ahead of the training on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), “Today is a very sad day,” adding, “Coach Beckenbauer made me realize my dream of winning the World Cup and is a person who has grown me today, not only in soccer but also in person.”

In addition, he said, “Since you are a very important person to me, today will be very difficult, but I want to overcome this sadness with you,” and added, “Let’s do our best to train today.”

Klinsmann also couldn’t hide his tears during an interview with the Korea Football Association. “It’s a very sad day for all Germans. Coach Beckenbauer has accomplished tremendous work as a player and coach for 30 years from the 1960s to the 1980s.”

“Coach Beckenbauer was an amazing personality, and sometimes he came as a mentor and sometimes as a father,” he said, adding, “The world’s soccer community will be sad, especially for Germany, it’s a pity that it has lost a charismatic leader.” 토토사이트 순위

Klinsmann and Beckenbauer have extraordinary relationships. When Beckenbauer led the West German national team to the 1990 World Cup championship in Italy, Klinsmann was the main striker. When Beckenbauer was the organizing committee chairman of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Klinsmann was the coach of the German national team.

“MLB Trade Rumors (MLBTR),” which specializes in transfer news within the Major League, put Choi Ji-man’s name on the 5 left-handed candidates who will sign a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals in the 2024 season on the 9th (Korea time). Along with Choi Ji-man, many players who once made their names on the Major League stage, including Mike Ford, Austin Meadows, Daniel Vogelback and Jared Walsh, were included in the list.

MLBTR said, “These players have been sitting in left-handed seats in their respective careers, showing better-than-average offense. However, none of them were able to qualify as free agents due to favorable conditions,” adding, “Choi suffered from injury in the 2023 season. He only played 39 games without much productivity. The other four were either released as non-tenders or became free agents with no strings attached.”

Choi Ji-man, who graduated from Dongsan High School in Incheon, challenged the U.S. stage by signing with the Seattle Mariners in 2010 and ate bread wet with tears for more than five years in the minor league. Choi Ji-man finally made his major league debut in 2016 with the Los Angeles Angels after playing for the Baltimore Orioles and played 54 games. Since then, he has grown into a full-time first baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays through the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers, and has even been honored as the first Korean fielder to enter the World Series. 토토사이트 추천

Choi’s career took a sharp turn when he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead of the 2023 season. The problem was his injury. He underwent surgery to remove bone fragments from his elbow in late 2022 but was traded to the San Diego Padres after being out of the lineup due to left Achilles tendon injury in mid-April. After that, he suffered injury to his left rib and right foot in succession, and failed to show off his skills. He had an “unproductive” year, batting average of 39 games, six homers and 13 RBIs in a preliminary FA season.

Choi is currently looking for a bird’s nest as a free agent, but the situation is not easy. Although Choi’s abundant experience in 525 Major League games is considered his strength, he showed great weakness in durability last year and has failed to attract the attention of big league clubs, as he recorded the lowest record except for his debut season. Surprisingly, his name on the minor league contract list was not mentioned by the local media.

MLBTR said, “None of the five players will be the top priority for Washington. However, if Washington seeks to secure backup left-handed hitters through minor league contracts or major league contracts at affordable prices, it could be a target that can recruit five players.”

“Many players are now considering leaving Saudi Arabia,” Spain’s Sport said on Wednesday (Korea time). Currently, there are many famous players in the Saudi professional league. Saudi clubs have recruited a large number of players from Europe through deep capital. Starting with Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Al Nasr FC in December 2022, many players are choosing to go to Saudi Arabia in their later years or in their prime.

Al Nasr includes goalkeeper David Ospina, followed by Marcel Brozovic, Alex Telles and Emerick Laport. Sadio Mane, who played for Liverpool F.C., also plays for al Nasr.

Karim Benzema, who played for Real Madrid along with Ronaldo, has opted to transfer to Al Etihad. Chelsea FC legend N’Golo Kante and Liverpool native Fabinho are also playing for Al Etihad along with Benzema.

Riyad Mahrez, who won the treble (English Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League) last season with Manchester City, is also a member of Al Ahli. There are also Edouard Mendy, Roberto Firmino, and Alan Saint-Maximin.

Al Hilal has recruited Juven Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly. Lazio Sergei Milinkovic-Savic and Neymar as Paris Saint-Germain also wore Al Hilal uniforms. Yashin Bunu, the leading player in Morocco’s semifinal, and Serbian bomber Alexander Mitrovic also chose Al Hilal.

Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Jorginho Wijnaldum moved to Al Etipark. Odion Ighalo (Al-Wahda) and Belgian Yannick Carrasco (Al-Shabab) also play in the Saudi professional league.

However, many players have failed to adjust to Saudi Arabia. Sport said many players are already considering leaving the country because of the climate, culture, small crowds in stadiums and women’s rights to their wives.

In fact, Henderson, who plays for Al Etipark, has sought to return to the English Premier League. The British Daily Mail reported that Al Etipark’s captain Jordan Henderson is eager to return to the EPL. 실시간 바카라사이트

“Henderson did not make it to the Saudi Arabian League. Henderson is telling his teammates at RT Park about the possibility of returning to England. Currently, the Saudi Arabian League is on a break due to the Asian Cup,” he added.

Many of his players have been transferred by Saudi clubs’ capital. Henderson is paid 700,000 pounds per week at RT Park. Ronaldo is paid 3.6 million pounds per week.

However, it seems that the players have failed to adapt due to culture and climate change. If influential players move, it is not impossible for other players to move. Sport said that the actual migration of players could take place next summer.

Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres) was evaluated as one of the best FA to be released in the market after this season. As the possibility of the New York Mets, a first-class club, participating in the recruitment of Kim Ha-sung has been raised, the possibility of signing a $100 million contract (about 131.1 billion won), which was only worth talking about, is no longer a dream. The U.S. media outlet The Athletic introduced the best FA players to the New York Mets, who have failed to recruit FA players they want this winter, on the 9th (Korea time).

The New York Mets have repeatedly failed to recruit big players this winter despite massive funds. The loss of Shohei Ohtani (30) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 26, both to the Los Angeles Dodgers was a major contributor. Notably, in the case of Yamamoto, billionaire owner Steve Cohen flew to Japan with New York Mets President David Stearns to have a meal with him, and was the first to offer a 10-year, 325 million dollar contract, but the deal failed. While he was so into Yamamoto, mid-sized FA pitchers such as Aaron Nola (31, Philadelphia Phillies) and Eduardo Rodriguez (31, Arizona Diamondbacks) also headed to other places. Eventually, he had to be satisfied with matching his head to necessary positions including Luis Serberino (30), Sean Mernaea (32), and outfielder Harrison Bader (30).

However, as the team has abundant funds, it is highly likely that it will continue to release large amounts of money in the FA market. The Athletic said, “By the end of the season, the Mets may be more aggressive in terms of their future direction. They aimed for Yamamoto, but showed restraint in other sales.” 안전한 파워볼사이트

Kim Ha-sung was named as a star-studded FA fielder that the Mets can aim for. Along with him, the players were all beautiful. There were many players that any baseball fan would know, ranging from MVP such as Jose Altuve (34, Houston Astros) and Paul Goldschmidt (37, St. Louis Cardinals), to Alex Bregman (30, Houston), two-time World Series champion, Pete Alonso (30, New York Mets), who won the 2019 National League Rookie of the Year award with 53 home runs, and Juan Soto (26, New York Yankees).

Notably, he is on par with Altuve in the same position. Since his debut with the Houston Astros in 2011, Altuve has posted a batting average of 0.307 with 209 homers, 747 RBIs, 1062 runs and 293 steals, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.834 while playing for only one team. He is an offensive second baseman who lacks the term “hot hitters” to the extent that he once hit 56 steals (2014) and 31 homers (2019) in a season in the third inning, and the sixth inning of the Silver Slugger. As he was not armed enough, he won the Gold Glove once despite his height of 168 centimeters (2017) and led Houston to two World Series championships.

On the other hand, Kim Ha-sung is still a defensive second baseman who excels in defense rather than offense. Entering the Major League through San Diego in 2021, Kim was given an opportunity in 2022 due to long-term absence due to wrist injury of Fernando Tatis Jr., 25, his flagship shortstop. He became one of the three finalists for the Gold Glove shortstop in the National League in his first year of hard-won full-time, and in his third year last year, he was a solid second baseman. While playing mainly as a second baseman, he also showed defensive performance above the league average in shortstop and third baseman, becoming the first Asian infielder and the first Korean to win a Gold Glove in the utility category.

However, there are high expectations in terms of offense as well. He hit 0.202 in 2021 and 0.251 in 2022, and posted a career high last year with a batting average of 0.260 in 152 games, 17 homers, 60 RBIs, 84 runs scored, 38 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.749. With his outstanding defense and potential for development in offense, The Athletic finally claimed on the 2nd that he would need a nine-digit number (US$100 million) to renew his contract with Kim Ha-sung.

In addition to the fielders, there are many players who will win at least $100 million worth of FA contracts, including Max Pride (30, Atlanta Braves), Corbin Burns (30, Milwaukee Brewers), Jack Wheeler (34, Philadelphia Phillies), Walker Buehler (30, Los Angeles Dodgers), and Shane Bieber (29, Cleveland Indians).

If the Mets aim for Kim Ha-sung, chances are high that the team will use him as a second baseman or third baseman. Currently, the Mets consist of third baseman Brett Barty (24), shortstop Francisco Lindor (30), and second baseman Jeff McNeil (32)-1st baseman Alonso. Lindor signed a 10-year, 341 million-dollar contract, which will be tied up until 2031, and McNeil also signed a four-year, 50 million-dollar extension to play until at least 2026. Third baseman Barty, on the other hand, has not been able to play well as a key player in the winning team by posting a batting average of 0.212 in 108 games, nine homers and 34 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.598, as he played his first full-time season last year, which needs to be supplemented.

Florian Flettenberg, who is known as a German transfer market expert while working for “Sky Sports” in Germany, reported on the afternoon of the 9th (Korean time). Tottenham and Genoa reached a complete agreement on Dragucine this morning.

Flettenberg also disclosed the details of his contract. “Tottenham has added bonus clause to its transfer fee of 25 million euros. Dragushin has signed a contract with Tottenham until 2029,” he said. 메이저 토토사이트

Tottenham faced two challenges in the process of acquiring Dragucine. First, it was Napoli’s attempt at high-jacking. Neapolitan, desperate for Kim Min-jae’s absence, began to move wildly in the transfer window this winter, with Dragucine being the target. However, it seems that Napoli has failed to put in an offer to the level that Genoa wants.

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou had made recruiting a center back a top priority this summer. This is because it was not easy to fill the gap even without Christian Romero or Mickey van der Pen. With both players missing, Tottenham had difficulty playing the attacking football that Postecoglou wanted.

As such, negotiations between Tottenham and Genoa seemed to go smoothly. However, there was another unexpected reef. Bayern Munich’s belated participation in the war. Munich also needed a center back in the absence of Kim Min-jae’s recruitment for the South Korean national team, and after watching several center backs, they contacted Dragoshin.

“Munich inquired about the signing of Dragucin to Genoa. A deal is not imminent, but negotiations are underway. Munich is looking to overtake the front-runners. Tottenham is leading the way in recruiting Dragucin and Napoli is also pushing ahead. Munich has also started a competition, but there is no official offer yet. There is no oral agreement, and I understand that Tottenham and Genoa are close to reaching an agreement on the transfer fee,” Flettenberg said.

Since Munich is a bigger club than Tottenham, and famous for not missing out once you set a target, Tottenham needed to be quick. Tottenham seems to have handled the transfer fee negotiations with Genoa quickly.

All agreements have been reached, but the final variable remains. “If Munich wants to have a chance to recruit Dragucin, it has to respond within today. There has been no official proposal yet,” Flettenberg added.

Born in 2002, Dragushin was raised by Juventus. He started blooming in Genoa, and showed quite good performance in Serie A. Last season, he led Genoa to promotion to the first division in Serie B.

The national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will compete in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, which will open in Doha, Qatar on January 12 and seek to win the title for the first time in 64 years. South Korea, which belongs to Group E, will play Bahrain (15th), Jordan (20th) and Malaysia (25th) in the group qualifying round. 카지노사이트 순위

Korea won the title in two consecutive events, the first in 1956 and the second in 1960. However, Korea finished runner-up only four times over the next 64 years, with no chance to win the title. Some even call it the “curse of the Asian Cup” as there are many unfortunate scenes. With world class players including Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in enjoying their prime time, 2024 is the best time for Korea to regain the Asian throne.

South Korea won 1-0 in the warm-up match against Iraq on the 6th. Lee Jae-sung scored the first goal, but his performance in the first half was frustrating. With Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Lee Kang-in, Cho Kyu-sung and Hwang Hee-chan in the second half, the performance improved. It is clear that Korea is a strong team with all-time members, but its dependence on certain players is too high. Manager Klinsmann’s ability to control this has come under fire.

When asked about his prospects for winning the Asian Cup, Mohad said, “Japan is really strong. It looks like Japan will win the title in Qatar. Japan has a strong best 11 players, but its players are deep enough to form another team. Japan has many players who play in Europe, and because of their high skills, they can win the title,” in favor of Japan.

Korea, which possesses Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae, is a strong competitor, but the team will not be able to overcome Japan’s barriers in the end. Mohad said, “Japan’s rivals include Korea, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. But I don’t think anyone can beat Japan. Japan will win its fifth title with seven consecutive wins.”

Newcastle upon Saudi Arabia is the owner of the oil money. To be precise, it is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Their assets amounted to 343 billion pounds (574.5 trillion won). They have no competitors.

Newcastle, supported by PIF, started to gain strength little by little, but it is still lacking. Compared to Manchester City, which is backed by oil money from the United Arab Emirates, Manchester City is even more shabby. As the strongest team in the EPL, Manchester City even achieved a treble by winning the UEFA Champions League last season.

Saudi Arabia has the will to wait no longer. Newcastle is ranked 9th in the EPL this season. In UCL, it was eliminated in last place in Group F. Saudi Arabia’s trust in coach Eddie Howe has fallen. 사설 토토사이트

As a result, PIF wants a new coach who can dominate the world like Manchester City. It is Jose Mourinho the winner and Special One AS Roma.

Mourinho has led Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and so on, winning a total of 26 titles including the UCL championship. Few coaches are better suited to dominate the world.

England’s ‘Football Insider’ exclusively reported on this story. The media outlet said, “Newcastle wants to rule the world. PIF, the owner of Newcastle, has great ambition and wants to recruit a famous coach for world domination. The candidate is Mourinho. The connection between Newcastle and Mourinho is concrete, and Mourinho is also positive.”

“Murinho is likely to leave AS Roma after the end of this season. PIF is working behind the scenes with Mourinho. PIF is keen on recruiting big-name coaches. Meanwhile, Howe is under tremendous pressure. Howe is not up to PIF standards,” he said.

“Mbappe will join Real Madrid,” said Santi Auna of France’s “Foot Mercato” on the 8th (Korea Standard Time). Mbappe’s trip to Real Madrid has been mentioned in every transfer window. Auna said, “It looks like the long drama is going to end. Real continued to send out offers to recruit Mbappe. Mbappe wants to control the situation. Progress has been made in negotiations and an agreement has been reached with Real.”

“After hours of discussion, Mbappe has agreed to join Real. Real want to open a new era and plan to sign Mbappe this summer. Mbappe also wants to go to Real,” he added.

Mbappe is the world’s soccer icon. With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo out of date, Mbappe is considered the top striker for the next generation of Ballon d’Or. He showed off his outstanding talent during his time as an AS Monaco player, and led Monaco’s offense in the 2016-17 season. He had 15 goals and 11 assists in the French Ligue 1, while scoring six goals in nine matches in the UEFA Champions League.

He moved to Paris Saint-Germain. After moving to PSG, Mbappe displayed remarkable scoring performance. Neymar and Lionel Messi joined one after another, mainly Mbappe. It was difficult to list all of them. He was selected five times in the Ligue 1 player of the year alone, and won the Young Player of the Year award three times, the top scorer in the Ligue 1, and the top helper in the first inning. He was selected six times in the team of the year. After capturing the Golden Boy and the Trope de Copa, he was selected as the third Ballon d’Or winner in 2023. 온라인카지노

She also won the FIFA World Cup. She led the team to victory at the 2018 Russia World Cup, and was named the “Dream Team” and “Young Player.” She reached the Golden Ball at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, only to be the runner-up, to be able to overcome regret. Mbappe, who is the world’s best player beyond PSG and French national teams, has always been linked to Real. Real wanted Mbappe as its new icon.

Attention was drawn to Mbappe’s reaction, but there was no response. Judging by the de facto refusal to renew the contract, PSG excluded Mbappe from the Asian tour list. Sometimes an injured player is excluded, but Mbappe played in a pre-season friendly match and even scored a goal. He has since been excluded from the Asian tour list. Eventually, their relationship seems to have completely changed. Excluding the PSG pre-season tour list showed the difference. As the team was demoted to the second tier, it went to extremes.

“If Mbappe wants to stay with PSG without renewing his contract, he will be taken out of the UCL squad for the 2023-24 season,” said Ben Jacobs, a reporter for CBS Sports in the U.S. “If Mbappe wants to transfer to Realde for free next summer, he will have a very tough time during the season. He may also have difficulties participating in Euro 2024 next summer.”

“PSG Chairman Al-Kelafi wants to surpass Neymar’s 222 million euros transfer fee, which is the most expensive in soccer’s history. That’s why he plans to make a huge profit this summer. If he sells a player with one year left on his contract and becomes the No. 1 player in transfer fee, he will be proud of himself. There are also talks about between 225 million euros and 230 million euros (about 316.7 billion won to 323.8 billion won), he said.

“Real has never met with PSG in person, and everything is still on hold,” Spain’s Marca said. If the amount of money does not match, Mbappe will spend a year with PSG. Coexistence is not easy, but Mbappe wants to go to Real a year later. He has no intention of directly negotiating with Al-Khelaifi. PSG said it could part ways with Mbappe for less than a penny.

In addition to Real, there was news that Liverpool and Al Hilal were seeking to recruit Mbappe. With a dramatic agreement, Mbappe came to play for PSG. Mbappe showed an overwhelming presence as the main striker of Enriquejo, showing his crazy scoring ability. He also attracted attention from domestic fans by showing good chemistry with Lee Kang-in. Several players were at the center of this summer. PSG without Mbappe was difficult to imagine. PSG wanted to accompany Mbappe, but it still seems closer to Real.
