In 2015, Son Heung-min left Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga and joined Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League in a surprise move. It has already been nine years since he joined Tottenham together. He has been leading his teammates as captain since this season. The “DESK Line” (Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane) was disbanded and captain Hugo Lloris stepped down.

“Sonny has great leadership both on and off the field and is ideal as a captain. We all know him as a world-class player and he is highly respected by everyone in the dressing room. Son is beyond the group. It is not just because of his popularity. He has achieved it on the field,” he said in trust. 사설 토토사이트

Captain Son Heung-min is in his second prime. He has recorded attack points in the fourth round against Burnley (3 goals, 5-2 win), the sixth round against Arsenal (2 goals, 2-2 draw), the seventh round against Liverpool (1 goal, 2-1 win), the ninth round against Fulham (1 goal, 1 assist, 2-0 win), the 10th round against Crystal Palace (1 goal, 2-1 win), the 14th round against Manchester City (1 goal, 1 assist, 3-3 draw), the 16th round against Newcastle United (1 goal, 2-1 win), the 18th round against Everton (1 goal, 2-1 win), the 19th round against Brighton (1 assist, 2-4) and the 20th round against Bournemouth (1 goal, 3-1 win). Son’s attack points were often directly related to the points.

He also wrote a new chapter in his career. He has become the champion of ranking 23rd with the most goals scored (115 goals) in the history of the PL and double-digit goals scored for eight consecutive seasons (14 goals → 12 goals → 11 goals → 17 goals → 23 goals → 10 goals → 12 goals). What’s more surprising is the actual score compared to the expected score (xG). According to the soccer statistics magazine Under Stat, Son has played 288 league games since joining Tottenham. He scored 115 goals and 86.11 xG. That means he has scored a whopping 28.89 more goals.

A lifetime contract is also imminent. Earlier, England’s Football Insider reported, “According to sources, Tottenham is preparing to offer Son a new contract, and he is eager to dedicate himself to the club. Son is thrilled with Postecoglou’s influence and wants to play an important role in the long-term future. Tottenham is ready to talk with Son about the new contract. Tottenham is expected to invoke the option of a one-year extension from his contract, which is valid until 2025, but negotiations for a completely new long-term contract could begin. Son is paid £190,000 a week and is guaranteed the club’s highest annual salary.”

Team Talk in the U.K. also said, “He wants to leave his career to Tottenham, and the club is ready to offer a new contract that includes a huge pay raise. Son was moved by the progress of the club under Postecoglou, and he aspires to extend his contract. Son is committed to playing a key role for Tottenham both now and in the future. Tottenham fans will welcome the news of Son’s renewal.” Perhaps Son continues a great moment that will never be seen again in the history of Korean soccer. Now Son is aiming to win the 2023 Asian Cup of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

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.

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.

Korea’s biggest rival is Japan, which is aiming at its fifth championship. Japan, which plays overseas, surpasses Korea in terms of player value. Key players such as Kaoru Mitoma and Takefusa Kubo are injured, but there are replacements as many as possible. The Japanese media also seem confident that the Japanese team will win the title. The “Football Zone” boasted that the Japanese team was the strongest, quoting Italian media OA Sport Galchio.

The Italian media outlet said, “The Italian media summarized that Japan, Iran and South Korea are the favorites to win the Asian Cup, and analyzed the strength of the three countries. Japan’s second term with Mitoma and Gubo will be fatal to the opponent country given that the quality of the Asian Cup is not very high. Japan is the most famous team in Asia.”

As for Korea, Kim said, “We have Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min, who are not the strongest team but the most famous and experienced players in this year’s championship. Kim will demonstrate again how he played the leading role when leading Napoli to the championship. Son has been enjoying his prime time for more than five years at Tottenham, and as the Korean captain, he is trying to successfully lead the tiger.” The premise is that Korea’s performance is not that big except for Son and Kim Min-jae.

Iran said, “The delicate political situation in our country could affect Qatar. Its defense is not solid and somewhat unstable. However, we have the most complete strikers at this year’s event.” 바카라

Napoli lost 0-3 to Turin in the 19th round of Italian Serie A in the 2023-24 season held at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Turin, Italy, at 11 p.m. on the 7th (Korea time). With this, Napoli has been ranked ninth with eight wins, four draws and seven losses (28 points) along with no wins in the last three games (1 draw and two losses).

Surprisingly, it was Conte who was spotted in Napoli’s crushing defeat. Conte was watching the game with his family from the stands. Various rumors are being produced as Conte visited Napoli in person to watch the game. Napoli’s performance in the 2023-24 season is so terrible that it makes us wonder if it was the team that won Serie A last season. Rudy Garcia was sacked after a four-month hiatus. In an effort to calm Napoli’s uneasy situation, coach Valtter Machari is pushing the team further into a hole.

Conte was already considering becoming the next coach for Napoli right before Garcia was sacked. However, Conte directly denied the rumors, saying, “There are constant rumors that I am close to an influential club, but I emphasize once again that I only want to rest and spend time with my family.” Conte also said he would not work for a new club during the season.

Nevertheless, Conte’s appearance will catch fans’ attention. “In fact, rumors about Conte’s future are not abating day by day. Some want him for AC Milan, others want him for AS Roma, and others want to see him again for Juventus.” 경마

In fact, rumors have recently spread that Conte will be appointed as AC Milan coach. “If AC Milan should replace Stefano Pioli next season, Conte will be the only candidate,” Italian football team Football Italy said on Wednesday. Some claim that Pioli is facing dismissal due to various issues, including his elimination from the UEFA Champions League. He has successfully reversed the mood in recent weeks and is highly likely to stay until the end of this season, but he still has no idea about the future,” raising the possibility that Conte will be appointed as AC Milan coach. Rumors of Napoli’s appointment will also likely revive as Conte, who was linked to AC Milan, made an appearance at the Napoli game.

“Kylian Mbappe is moving to Real Madrid. The drama is over. I have already reached an agreement with Real Madrid. I will join Real Madrid from next season,” said Santi Auna of French media “Foot Mercato.”

Mbappe’s contract with PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) is six months away. This means that he can freely negotiate with other teams. Mbappe, who refused to renew his contract with PSG, decided to go to Real Madrid, which had long been rumored to be a transfer.

Mbappe has 18 goals and two assists in 16 matches this season. He has no match in the French Ligue 1 for a long time. He is overwhelmingly the top scorer this season as well. He has a whopping 10 goals difference with Vissam Ben-Jetter, who is ranking second in goal. For Mbappe, who is considered the world’s best striker, the French Ligue 1 stage was too small.

Mbappe transferred to PSG on loan after AS Monaco in 2017. PSG hired Mbappe on condition that he be fully recruited after the loan. Despite his teenage years, Mbappe was chosen by AS Monaco as the player who will take responsibility for his team’s future as he scored 27 goals and 16 assists in 60 matches including the UEFA Champions League.

Mbappe, who longed for Cristiano Ronaldo, longed for Real Madrid. However, Mbappe accepted his move to PSG. After conquering French Ligue 1 and the Champions League at PSG, he now plans to take the next step at Real Madrid. Mbappe displayed overwhelming performance at PSG. He finished the warm-up with 21 goals and 16 assists in 48 matches, including the Cup 2017-18 season, and posted 39 goals and 17 assists in 43 matches in the 2018-19 season, when full recruitment options were in effect. Along with the world’s best players, Edinson Cavani and Neymar, Mbappe has emerged as a key player in PSG and an icon of French soccer. 파칭코사이트인포

PSG’s goal was simple. It was the European championship that the team has never achieved since its inception. Mbappe has attracted a large number of world-class players. For example, it instigated a 222 million euros buyout from Neymar to Barcelona in 2017. He attempted to make history by bringing in a player who was considered Lionel Messi’s successor from the world’s best team. Finally, in 2021, Messi was even hired by Barcelona.

This was the reason Mbappe, who has emerged as a French icon, could not easily afford to lose. Mbappe has scored more than 20 goals every season, gaining momentum in PSG’s victory. He is still a superstar, having scored 234 goals and 100 assists in 283 matches. PSG kept Mbappe through a contract renewal, but Mbappe wanted to win the title in Europe. Even if they brought in world-class players and replaced a large number of coaches, the UEFA Champions League trophy would be far from PSG. PSG advance to the final round as a single match against the coronavirus, and most of them lost in the quarterfinals.

It was the same when Messi and Neymar formed the world’s best trio. Their objective name value and ransom were the “space guards,” but they were beaten again by Real Madrid. They renewed their contract with PSG in 2022, but when their contract expired, they decided not to accompany them anymore. PSG announced that it would renew the contract with Mbappe until 2025, but in reality, it was an option to extend it by one year. If Mbappe does not comply with the club’s request, the official contract period will end in 2024. Mbappe said he would focus on PSG by the summer of 2024, but his intention to leave for a free agent transfer fee of 0 won has not changed, which angered many high-ranking officials at the club.

It was all the more shocking because the team released high-priced players and formed a team focusing on Mbappe. In fact, PSG Chairman Naser al-Khelaifi told a news conference to select Luis Enrique that he was shocked at the fact that Mbappe would leave the team as a free agent next season. Such decision could weaken France’s largest club. “I am really disappointed. I have to make a decision within the next two weeks. If I don’t sign a new contract, the door to exit is open,” PSG Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi told reporters.

PSG threatened Mbappe, but his decision remained unchanged. As Mbappe remained steady, he tried to cajole Mbappe. Many including Forbes, a U.S.-based media outlet, said, “Paris Saint-Germain has put Mbappe on the negotiating table for a 10-year contract worth 1 billion euros. If Mbappe accepts the offer from Paris Saint-Germain, it will be the largest in the history of the sport.” However, Mbappe did not respond to PSG’s offer to renew the contract.

PSG eventually put it up for sale in the transfer market due to Mbappe’s unwavering offer. There is only one year left, but it decided to sell it if there was an offer worthy of the ransom. Excluding Mbappe from pre-season tours and various promotional materials was a representative example of PSG’s decision.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a European soccer transfer market expert, a Saudi Arabian team has approached Mbappe. He only wanted to play in the Saudi Arabian league for one year until the 2023-24 season. Starting with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the team has recruited world-class players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, N’Golo Kante, and Karim Benzema, which could be a symbolic recruitment if they brought in the world’s best players in their prime.

The team that approached Mbappe was Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal. Al-Hilal offered Mbappe a fixed salary of 200 million euros and a 100 percent guarantee of portrait rights. The team negotiations ended after proposing 300 million euros (423 billion won) in transfer fee to PSG, but failed in individual negotiations. Mbappe has decided not to have any dialogue with Al-Hilal. He did not even show his face to the negotiators who came to Paris, and clearly conveyed his intention to reject the transfer. As Mbappe and PSG goals deepened, a lot of rumors spread. PSG Talk quoted a report saying, “Mbappe was not interested in appointing Luis Enrique. They were not very satisfied with the transfer policy that PSG is currently conducting.”

PSG has decided to exclude Mbappe from the first-team squad. However, that decision was short-lived. With a local report saying, “Talks between Mbappe and PSG have resumed,” it added, “It’s an unexpected new twist. Talking to Mbappe about PSG. Things could move on next week. Everything suggests that PSG has Mbappe included in the first-team squad to regain the team’s dynamism. It could even go further and renew the contract.”

Even British media outlet Mirror said, “Mbappe and PSG got off to a chilly start. However, they can return to the negotiating table. We cannot guarantee a positive solution, but talks between Mbappe and PSG have begun. The gloomy situation could change after the start of the season.” PSG said it would listen to Mbappe’s demands. Mbappe wanted to send Neymar and start the new season as a fully young team. When Al Hilal approached Paris Saint-Germain with a transfer fee of up to 300 billion won, he accepted and said goodbye. Afterwards, France’s best friend Usman Dembele and others were brought in for a last-minute team reshuffle, and Mbappe was assigned to the first team.

Mbappe also pledged to focus on PSG, sealing the conflict with Mbappe. Since then, he has incorporated into PSG plans in earnest and displayed robust performance. He also played well with Lee Kang-in, a freshman this summer. He has recorded 25 goals and three assists in 24 matches, including the Cup championships, so far this season, displaying robust physical performance as usual. With the opening of the winter transfer window, rumors have emerged that Mbappe will be transferred to Mbappe again. “Real Madrid has set a deadline for Mbappe’s transfer,” global sports media outlet The Athletic said. “If you want to join Real Madrid, you have to give an answer at the transfer window (before the middle of the season) in January next year.”

Real Madrid had long wanted to recruit Mbappe since 2019, but it has failed to produce a result. More than 90 percent of the players were likely to come to Real Madrid in 2022, and they also renewed their contract with PSG. They didn’t want to do it again this time, and they wanted to finish it during the winter transfer window. Since the contract will expire in six months, they don’t have to be wary of PSG because they can freely negotiate based on the Boseman rule.

Real Madrid has high expectations for its future resources. The media said, “Jude Bellingham and Hodrigo are at the core of the team. Next summer, even Brazil’s promising prospect Endrick will join. High-ranking Real Madrid officials believe that Mbappe’s recruitment is a bonus. This summer is the last time Mbappe has a chance to sign with Real Madrid.”

I wanted to see Mbappe’s attitude during this round of negotiations. I wanted to examine whether he really wants to move to Real Madrid from various perspectives. French media Leciff said, “The top priority is the desire to join Real Madrid. Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid after rejecting offers to join several Premier League teams this summer, is a case in point.” Mbappe seems to have shown satisfactory attitude toward Real Madrid. On the negotiating table were an annual salary of 26 million euros and a bonus of 130 million euros. Real Madrid planned to recruit Mbappe as the best-paid player in the club’s history.

Some also sensed that PSG was confident in renewing its contract at the last minute. French media outlet Lekief said, “PSG wants to give Mbappe some time. Internally, the club is positive about Mbappe’s contract renewal. It also has confidence. PSG said Mbappe was very happy in the team. Some said that Mbappe and other high-ranking officials are having flexible talks.” However, given that simultaneous reports were made from France and Spain, Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid seems to have made considerable progress.

French media outlet Foot Mercato also said, “Now Real Madrid has a new player and will take on a big challenge this summer. These will be done with Mbappe,” adding that he was confident that he would be able to see Mbappe wearing a Real Madrid uniform away from PSG in the 2024-25 season. As rumors of Mbappe’s transfer grew, questions poured out to French President Macron. When Mbappe signed his contract with PSG in 2022, he was close to Real Madrid, but there was a story that President Maron persuaded him to stay by phone.

Asked about Mbappe’s transfer, Macron said in principle, “Should I talk about Mbappe? I am not Mbappe’s agent. Mbappe is a really good soccer player. He is the captain of the French national team. He is a great driving force in leading the French national team and I hope he wins the Euro 2024. The same applies to Mbappe. Rumors of a Real Madrid agreement are being reported from all over Europe, but no response has been made. In an interview right after winning the French Super Cup, Macron said, “I have not made any decision yet. I have not made a choice. I reached an agreement with PSG last summer. Whatever the decision I make, I have to protect the people around me. I had to keep calm with PSG.”

Of course, he didn’t deny it because it was an open ending. Mbappe replied, “I’m motivated this season. This is really important. There are trophies to hold. First, I got one of them. This is the most important thing at the moment. Now, if I know what to do, it won’t take too long.”

After all, Mbappe’s final decision was to move to Real Madrid. Spanish media Marca even revealed the details of Mbappe’s contract with Real Madrid. “Real Madrid will contact Mbappe next week. If Mbappe gets a positive response, we will make sure that he arrives at Real Madrid in the summer when his contract with PSG ends. Real Madrid wants to complete the negotiations with Mbappe as soon as possible.” According to the report, Real Madrid will put on the negotiation table the same terms as it offered Mbappe last summer. It plans to offer an annual salary of 26 million euros and a bonus of 130 million euros.

He naturally broke up with Lee Kang-in, too. Lee left Mallorca last summer to move to PSG. His meeting with Mbappe sent Korean soccer fans crazy. Lee Kang-in led PSG’s attack along with Mbappe this season. The two players reigned as PSG icons to the extent that they competed for the top spot in the team’s uniform sales list. They boasted of their close friendship both on and off the field and displayed fantastic teamwork. He even acquired the trophy in his first match of the new year in 2024. PSG beat Toulouse 2-0 in the Trope de Champion 2023 French Super Cup held in Paris, France on Thursday. The Trope de Champion is a showdown between the French Ligue 1 champion and the cup winner. PSG, which won the French Ligue 1 title last season, and Toulouse, which won the cup, faced off on the same day. It was Lee Kang-in who played in the match. Lee Kang-in postponed his bid for the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar for the Super Cup. When players from Europe, including Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, joined the Korean national team after the last match in December, he remained in France. It was to give PSG the trophy.

On the day, Lee Kang-in led PSG by playing full-time. He also scored the first and final goal. After the match, he was named the MVP of the competition by the French Super Cup, adding to his glory. He won the title six months after his transfer to PSG. Lee Kang-in said, “I wanted to bring the French Super Cup. I had greed to win the title even before the match. I always tried to help my team, and I tried really hard. Playing with the best players in the world helped me a lot. I am trying to learn a lot from my teammates. I wanted to win the title even before the game. I am happy to win the championship and want to enjoy the day. I always try to help my team, and I try to train hard. He says he wants to learn from good players. I am so happy to be in PSG.” He indirectly said that he was influenced by Mbappe. However, with Mbappe leaving now, Lee Kang-in has put more pressure on him. For PSG, Neymar, Messi and Mbappe have left. It is time to prepare for a new era.

KIA, which aims to make a leap forward in the 2024 season, is steadily strengthening its capacity and capacity. By recruiting a foreign fireballer, the team has stepped up preparation for the season. The Kia Tigers officially announced on Tuesday that it has recruited Will Crow, a new foreign pitcher who has experience playing full time as a starting pitcher in the U.S. Major League, for a total of 1 million dollars. Kia, which previously signed a contract with Socrates for a total of 1.2 million dollars, has even recruited Crow, leaving only one new foreign pitcher to recruit. 토토

Will Crowe was drafted by the Washington Nationals with the 65th pick in the second round of the 2017 Rookie Draft. Kia fans have high expectations for Crowe, who brought the team full of 1 million U.S. dollars. Crowe is a right-handed pitcher who is 185 centimeters tall and weighs 108 kilograms. He played in four seasons in the Major League and five seasons in the Minor League (hereinafter referred to as Triple-A). He played in 94 games (29 starts) in the big league, recording 10 wins, 21 losses, 16 holds, five saves and an ERA of 5.30. The maximum speed of his ball speed is 153 kilometers.

KIA’s move in this offseason is remarkable. Shim Jae-hak, Kia’s general manager, is drawing attention as he is playing harder in the stove league than anyone else. In fact, Kia has already aggressively recruited players since the 2022 season with the aim of advancing to the post season. The signal was Na Sung-bum. Ahead of the 2022 season, Kia has signed Na Sung-bum, who was able to establish itself as a franchise star with the NC Dinos, for a six-year contract period of 6 billion won, 6 billion won in down payment, 6 billion won in annual salary, and 3 billion won in option, reinforcing its outfield and slugging capabilities at the same time. However, Kia had to accept its unsatisfactory report card in the 2022 season as well. Although it successfully advanced to the postseason for the first time in four years by finishing the regular season in fifth place, it played only one game. At that time, it bowed its head after losing 2-6 in the first round of the wild card match against the KT Wiz.

The 2023 season is finally here. The 2023 season, however, was not easy either. With LG, SSG, and Lotte in the top three teams early in the season, KIA could hardly afford to enter the league. In May, when the season was in full swing, former general manager Jang Jung-seok left the team due to unkind reasons, and a new general manager Shim Jae-hak was appointed. By the end of June, the team had ranked as low as 9th out of the 10 teams. The injuries suffered by key players such as Kim Sun-bin and Jung Hae-young. In the end, KIA failed to advance to the post season ranking sixth with 73 wins, 2 draws, and 69 losses, marking a 0.514 win rate.

More than anything else, Kia’s home turf was largely empty. The team largely failed to recruit FA Park Dong-won and sent him to LG ahead of the 2023 season. From the beginning of the 2023 season, Kia Tigers wore catcher masks as Han Seung-taek (29), Joo Hyo-sang (26), and Shin Beom-soo (25) rotated, but failed to secure the starting player position. Kia manager Kim Jong-kook also said during the season, “It would be difficult to pick a catcher for sure. Currently, the catcher who frequently participates in many games is the starting player.” Still, the team’s head coach displayed faith in the team. However, the home turf issue was hardly resolved, and Shim Jae-hak, the team’s general manager, took direct action. The result was to recruit catcher Kim Tae-gun through a trade. At the time, Kia carried out a 1:1 trade in which it received catcher Kim Tae-gun instead of sending infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk to Samsung.

Having recorded a batting average of 0.256 with one home run, 18 RBIs and seven runs batted in with a slugging percentage of 0.328 and an on-base percentage of 0.329 in 49 games before the trade, Kim immediately became the starting player after moving to Kia. As a veteran catcher, he led younger players and took charge of Kia’s home turf. Although Kia was eliminated from the postseason, it ended the year with a batting average of 0.257 (78 hits in 303 times at bat), one home run, 40 RBIs, 15 walks, and 29 strikeouts with a slugging percentage of 0.300, an on-base percentage of 0.306 and an OPS of 0.606. Furthermore, Kia successfully signed a multi-year contract with Kim last year. Kia officially announced in October last year that it signed a three-year contract worth a total of 2.5 billion won, including 2 billion won in annual salary and option of 500 million won. Having graduated from Yangjeong Elementary School, Daedong Middle School and Busan High School, he was not a stellar mainstay in the professional arena in recent years. However, he has always attracted attention from other teams as a “mainstream” backup catcher. Above all, he has a reputation as a defensive catcher. As he played with national team catchers such as Yang Eui-ji (Doosan Bears) and Kang Min-ho (Samsung Lions), it is true that he had fewer chances to play. Nevertheless, Kim Tae-gun was crushed by other teams because they needed his value. And he was recognized for his true worth by KIA.

This was effectively a signal. During other people’s baseball feast days, KIA focused on strengthening its power. The next first goal was to sit with FA inside. First, Ko Jong-wook signed with KIA. In November last year, Kia announced that it signed a two-year contract worth 100 million won, down payment of 100 million won, annual salary of 150 million won, and option of 100 million won. It is the third FA contract in the Stove League following Lotte’s Jeon Joon-woo and Hanwha’s An Chi-hong. After starting his professional career with Nexen Heroes (currently Kiwoom Heroes), Ko was released by the SSG Landers at the end of 2021. He then joined KIA as a substitute or pinch runner during the 2022 season, and posted a batting average of 0.283, two homers and 14 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.752 in 62 games. After the end of the 2022 season, Ko became a free agent but did not exercise his rights and chose to repeat his contract. This was a godsend. During the 2023 season, Ko Jong-wook appeared in 114 games recording a batting average of 0.296, three homers and 39 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.346, showing his progress. Eventually, Ko was able to successfully sign an FA contract with KIA. Through the club, he said, “I would like to thank the KIA team and the manager for giving me the opportunity once again. I got the opportunity to be an FA, but I finished the contract quickly because I wanted to stay in KIA, not other teams,” and expressed my feelings, saying, “I will become a player who can repay the support of Tigers fans with good performances.” “We highly appreciate the performance of Ko Jong-wook, who has played a big role in the team’s batting line-up over the past two years, and we have signed this contract,” a KIA official said. “We expect it to be a great help to the team’s strength in the future.”

This was not the end. In the new year, KIA’s moves began to accelerate. Recently, he succeeded in signing a seal with internal FA Kim Sun-bin, who was wondering if negotiations were slow. KIA said on the 4th that it signed a three-year contract with Kim Sun-bin for a total of 3 billion won, including a down payment of 600 million won, an annual salary of 1.8 billion won, and an option of 600 million won. After the contract, Kim Sun-bin said through the club, “More than anything else, I wanted to stay in KIA. I am grateful to the club for offering me good conditions, and I am happy to continue to hear the support of Tigers fans,” adding, “I will devote myself to sports before the season and help the team to become a consistent strong team. Although I have given up my captaincy, I will do my best to help the team stand at the top of fall baseball with a sense of responsibility as an old player.” KIA general manager Shim Jae-hak said, “Kim Sun-bin is an essential player for the team. As a franchise player who has consistently played for the Tigers as a one-club man, I negotiated with the idea that I should catch him no matter what. Since his skills are already proven, I expect him to greatly contribute to the team’s strength if he continues to do as he is now.”

His negotiations with Kim did not necessarily go smoothly, which made a all the more significant impact on Kia fans. Kim, who graduated from Hwasun Elementary School, Hwasun Middle School and Hwasun High School, joined Kia in 2008 with the 43rd pick in the second round of the sixth round of the rookie draft. It is not an exaggeration to say that Kim is Kia’s proud franchise star. In total, he posted a batting average of 0.303 (1506 hits in 4,968 times at bat), 32 homers, 564 RBIs, 691 runs and 149 steals, and an OPS of 0.750 in 1509 games at Kia. In addition, he posted a batting average of 0.370 (176 hits in 476 times at bat) in the 2017 season, leading the team’s batting champion and KIA to win the Korean Series. He has displayed outstanding leadership by leading players as captain of the team over the past two years. However, along with the need for a generational change in the team, the passage of time was one of the factors that cannot be ignored. As such, negotiations have been slow and the year has passed. Shim Jae-hak, the team’s general manager, always called Kim “an essential player for the team.” After signing the contract, Shim Jae-hak told Star News, “In order for KIA to have good performance this season, we judged that other players need to grow up and grow up in a situation where Kim Sun-bin is playing as the main second baseman. Therefore, although the player may be disappointed with the amount of money, he tried to approach the team with his heart as much as possible. “I was not a one-club man when I was an active player. As I played for so many teams, I felt that (rather) the fact that a player remains a one-club man means a lot to me. I am happy to let such a one-club man (Kim Sun-bin) play in the Kia Tigers’ uniform without sending him to other teams. I feel a little less sorry for (the slowness of various contracts this winter),” he said.

Following the signing of Kim Sun-bin, another surprising news came the next day: a multi-year contract with Choi Hyung-woo, a 41-year-old veteran. On Monday, Kia and Choi signed a multi-year contract worth a total of 2.2 billion won (2.42 million U.S. dollars), with one plus one year plus one year plus an option of 200 million won (2,240 dollars). According to the team’s announcement, the contract will be automatically extended if the 2024 option is met. Choi previously signed two FA contracts with Kia (four years with 10 billion won in 2016 and four years with 4.7 billion won in 2020). During the seven years he played for Kia, he was always responsible for team attacks in the central lineup. Notably, in the 2023 season, he played in 121 games, recording a batting average of 0.302, 17 homers, 81 RBIs, 64 runs and 130 hits, displaying his strong performance despite his challenging age. He garnered applause from many Kia fans as he set the record for the most RBIs and doubles ever recorded in total. After the 2023 season ended, Kia gave a multi-year contract despite his advanced age of 41, instilling strong faith in the team.

What followed was a foreigner’s turn. Again, it wasn’t easy. In fact, Kia has not produced significant performance by foreign pitchers in recent years. It started the 2023 season with Sean Anderson and Adonis Medina, but neither of them produced significant performance. In 14 games, Sean Anderson had four wins, seven losses, 64 strikeouts, 26 walks, an ERA of 3.76, and quality start (less than three earned runs in six innings) in 79 innings. In addition, Adonis Medina had two wins, six losses, 36 strikeouts, 29 walks and an ERA of 6.05 during 58 innings in 12 games, and pitched only three quality starts. In the end, Kia recruited a new player after breaking up with both of them even before the first half of the 2023 season. The main characters were Thomas Panoni and Mario Sanchez. Panoni had six wins, three losses, 4.26 ERA, and 66 strikeouts and 23 walks in 82 ⅓ innings. He then had five successful quality starts. Mario Sanchez had four wins, four losses, 5.94 ERA, and 59 strikeouts and 16 walks in 63 ⅔ innings in 12 games. He made three quality start pitches.

Mario Sanchez might have difficulty renewing his contract due to his performance, but any pitcher as good as Panoni might try to do so. In the end, however, Kia chose to break up with both of them. Furthermore, news recently spread that Panoni signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs. Panoni entered the KBO League as a substitute foreign pitcher for Ronnie Williams in July 2022, and had a good record of 3-4 losses and 2.72 ERA in 14 games. However, he left Korea before the 2023 season because he was not chosen by KIA. However, when newly recruited Sean Anderson and Adonis Medina were sluggish, Panoni was called back and threw the ball, leaving KIA again at the end of the 2023 season.

After his debut, Crowe stepped up to the top stage. In the 2018 season, Crowe made double-A appearance. He started 21 games out of 22 games that year, recording 11 wins and 5 losses with a 3.40 ERA. During 116 ⅓ innings, he recorded 104 hits, 57 runs, 44 earned, 10 homers, five hits, 48 walks, 94 strikeouts, a batting average of 0.240 and WHIP 1.31. In addition to Double-A, he made 26 starts in Triple-A games, 7 wins, 10 losses, 4.70 ERA, and scored 151 hits, 86 runs, 78 earned runs, 15 homers, and three hits, 48 walks, 130 strikeouts, and a WHIP 1.33 WHIP. He showed off his ability to digest many innings and strikeouts.

Crow began to make his name known by earnestly stepping on the Major League Baseball stage in the 2020 season. He made his big league debut as a member of the Washington Nationals in 2020. He lost two games and posted an earned run average (ERA) of 11.88 without a win that year. During a total of eight ⅓ innings, he allowed 14 hits and 13 runs (11 earned runs), five homers and one homer, and posted a batting average of 0.378 with eight walks, and a WHIP (base-plus-slugging percentage) of 2.64. The 2021 season was the best year for him. Since then, he started in earnest in the Major League and played a key role in his former team’s starting rotation for the Pittsburgh Pirates. During the 2021 season, Crow had four wins and eight losses with a 5.48 ERA. He started 25 out of 26 games. During a total of 116 ⅔ innings, he allowed 126 hits and 75 earned runs, 71 earned runs, 25 earned runs, six hit-by-body balls, 57 walks, 111 strikeouts and a batting average of 0.276, and WHIP 1.57.

Crow continued to play in the big leagues through the 2022 season. However, he changed his position to a relief pitcher. He accepted the report card with 6 wins, 10 losses, 4 saves, 16 holds, and an ERA of 4.38. He played in a total of 60 games, and all but one start was made in relief. He allowed 68 hits, 40 runs, eight homers, and three homers during 76 innings, 38 walks, 68 strikeouts, 0.235 WHIP. Then, in the 2023 season, he played only five games without a single start, and lost one loss, one save, and 4.66 ERA without a win. During nine ⅔ innings, he allowed nine hits, six runs (five earned), one homer, and one homerun, and posted a WHIP of 0.243 WHIP 1.56 in detail. In 2023, he spent more time in the Minor League. Last year, he played in 17 games (three starts) in the Minor League, recording a 3.86 ERA in three wins, one loss, one hold, and 15 runs in 30 ⅓ innings, three homers, 14 walks, 32 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 0.279. His overall minor league performance was 21 wins, 16 losses, 1 hold, an ERA of 4.01. He started 59 games out of 75 ⅓, giving up 310 hits, 166 runs (143 earned runs), 31 homers, and 9 hits, 114 walks, 274 strikeouts, a batting average of 0.255, and a WHIP of 1.32.

“Will Crow is a right-handed pitcher with outstanding ball power,” said Shim Jae-hak, the general manager who led the recruitment of Crow. “He is a powerful player with a fast ball, slider and change-up with a maximum speed of 153 kilometers. He also said, “As he was a full-time starter in the Major League, he is expected to play a key role in the team’s selection team due to his extensive experience.”

Prior to the announcement of the Crow, Kia signed a contract with foreign hitter Socrates. As a foreign hitter who has already been verified by his team, there was no reason to hesitate. The deal was worth a total of 1.2 million dollars, including a down payment of 300,000 won, an annual salary of 500,000 won, and an option of 400,000 dollars. Socrates joined the KIA Tigers prior to the 2022 season, when he recorded a total of 900,000 dollars. He then played until the 2024 season following the 2023 season, and became a foreigner in his third year of the KBO league. Socrates recorded a batting average of 0.311 (160 hits in 514 times at bat), 17 homers, 77 RBIs, 12 steals, and an OPS of 0.848 in 127 games during the 2022 season. He then recorded a batting average of 0.285 last year, 20 homers, 96 RBIs, 91 runs and 15 steals, and an OPS of 0.807 while playing 142 games. Despite the continuous rise of key hitters such as Na Sung-bum, Choi Hyung-woo and Park Chan-ho during the 2023 season, he also set an example by playing 142 games, two games short of all games. The team’s No. 1 player in hits, home runs, runs scored and RBIs was also up to Socrates. Prior to the signing of the contract, Shim Jae-hak, Kia’s general manager, said, “Socrates will decide as he is. The process of renewing the contract is smooth.” Although there were some regrets, such as showing weakness in left-handed pitchers this year and a slight drop in the batting average for scoring, it was judged that it was not easy to bring a batter over Socrates in the KBO League. The prevailing opinion was that we should continue to keep Socrates stable rather than taking new risks such as adapting to a new player,” he said, explaining the background of the renewal.

Now, if Kia hires an additional foreign pitcher, it will complete the formation of foreign players for the 2024 season. As soon as Kia was confirmed to be eliminated from the postseason last year, it immediately started preparing for the 2024 season and is steadily strengthening its power. KIA is classified as the so-called “three strongest teams” in the baseball world along with the LG Twins and KT Wiz in the 2024 season. After the New Year’s greeting ceremony at Jamsil Stadium on the 5th, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop met with reporters and pointed out the KT Wiz and KIA Tigers as the most threatening teams in the 2024 season.

Analysts say that Kia will not lag behind other teams in the selection race, provided it selects two foreign pitchers well. It certainly has the upper hand in the competition for starting pitchers from home. This is because Yang Hyeon-jong, a “left-handed veteran” who represents Korea as the third starter, is holding out. He recorded nine wins and 11 losses and an ERA of 3.58 in 29 games last season. During a total of 171 innings, he had 181 hits, 13 homers, 48 walks, 133 strikeouts, 78 runs (68 earned) with WHIP 1.34, a hit rate of 0.272, and quality start pitching 14 times. However, he cannot leave the burden on veteran Yang Hyeon-jong. Young pitchers such as Lee Ui-ri and Yoon Young-cheol have to do their part. Lee has gained immense experience by joining the KIA Tigers as the first designation in 2021 and throwing balls at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics that year. In his first year since his debut, he garnered four wins and five losses, 3.61 ERA, and 93 strikeouts during 94 ⅔ innings, becoming the only rookie of the year in the KBO League. In addition, Yoon Young-cheol, a rookie of the year in 2023, was impressive as he recorded 8-7 losses and 4.40 ERA in 25 games last year. Choi, who competed with Moon Dong-joo of the Hanwha Eagles in the Rookie of the Year competition, failed to win the honor, but his performance was certain to be valuable to him. In addition, Choi Ji-min, who joined KIA in the second round and first round in 2022, has also improved a lot. After winning the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, he pitched in 58 games and completed his mission by striking out 44 times during 6 wins, 3 losses, 12 holds, 3 saves with a 2.12 ERA and 59 ⅓ innings. The Kia Tigers are not only cracking down on internal FA players but also carefully recruiting foreign players. Expectations are already high on Kia fans to see how it will perform in the 2024 season.

Britain’s Nottingham Post said on the 8th (Korea Standard Time), “The future of Nottingham Forest’s forgotten striker Hwang Ui-jo has become uncertain. Hwang Ui-jo faces an uncertain future due to a hamstring injury.”

Hwang Ui-jo is under investigation for illegally filming his personal life with his ex-lover. Hwang Ui-jo missed the match after suffering a hamstring injury after the match against Watford in November last year, and played as a substitute at Huddersfield on the 24th of last month to return to the injury. Since then, Hwang has started two consecutive matches for his team Norwich City, but he missed the third round of the FA Cup in the 2023-24 season against Bristol Rovers on the 7th, along with the exclusion of entries. 무료 슬롯

“Unfortunately, Hwang has a hamstring injury and will not be able to play for six weeks. We will decide within a few days how to deal with Hwang’s situation,” Norwich City manager Wagner said after the match against Bristol Rovers.

Norwich City, which has rented Hwang until the end of this season, is ranking 13th in the league with 10 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses (35 points) in this season’s championship. Hwang has three goals and one assist in 17 matches for Norwich City this season.

Nottingham Forest acquired Hwang Ui-jo from Bordeaux back in 2022. Since then, Hwang has been loaned to Olympiacos shortly after his move to Nottingham Forest and played for FC Seoul last year. Hwang Ui-jo is currently on loan at Norwich City this season, spending his third loan spell at Nottingham Forest.

Hwang Ui-jo’s original team Nottingham Forest ranks 15th in the league this season with five wins, five draws, and 10 losses (20 points) in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest recruited Hwang Ui-jo after being promoted to the Premier League in 2022, but he failed to make his Premier League debut. Nottingham Forest has Wood, Elanga, Origi, and Hourini in its offense.

The Korea Football Association decided to exclude Hwang from selecting the national team until he is cleared of charges of illegal filming in November last year. Hwang has also been excluded from the Korean national soccer team’s entry into the Asian Cup.

Criticism has been raised as the Los Angeles Dodgers of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) announced a donation plan to recover from the strong earthquake in Japan, marking it as Sea of Japan, not East Sea. “Otani posted the same news in Japanese on his personal SNS account, but he did not use Sea of Japan expression,” he said, sending a protest email to the Los Angeles Dodgers. 안전놀이터 추천

Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women’s University, a Korean public relations expert, said on SNS on the 8th, “The LA Dodgers announced on the 5th that it would donate $1 million (about 1.3 billion won) to Shohei Ohtani and the affected area,” adding, “At this time, many Korean fans of the LA Dodgers were angry by using the Sea of Japan notation.”

He then pointed out, “No matter how much the earthquake occurred in Japan, and even if Ohtani is Japanese, it is certainly wrong to only mark the Sea of Japan claimed by the Japanese government, not the weapon mark with the East Sea.”

Professor Seo explained in an e-mail, “The name of the sea between Korea and Japan has historically been used as the East Sea for 2000 years,” adding, “We began to describe the East Sea and Sea of Japan in the world history textbook of the AP exam, one of the U.S. college entrance exam courses, and in 2019, the New York State Department of Education recommended that schools mention the East Sea and Sea of Japan together.”

He added, “Last year, the map of MLB’s website, which hosted the World Baseball Classic (WBC), marked it as a Sea of Japan and deleted it after being protested by Korea.”

Professor Seo said, “A few days ago, in an article introducing Korean tourism by the leading British daily The Times, the East Sea was marked as a Sea of Japan alone, and since then, the East Sea has been marked as a weapon,” adding, “We will strongly push for a global campaign to change the wrong Sea of Japan to the East Sea this year.”

The Vietnamese press “Vietnam Express” reported on Thursday (Korea time) that Son Heung-min, the superstar of Korean soccer, is valued at 54.5 million dollars, which is higher than the value of the 21 national teams participating in the 2024 Asian Cup. The VNE cited “Transfermarkt,” a website specializing in European soccer transfers.

VNE said, “According to Transmit, Son is lower than Japan, Korea, and Iran. Son’s ransom is similar to that of Japanese winger Kauru Mitoma (Brighton). He is lower than his Korean counterparts Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) and Japan’s Takefusa (Real Sociedad). They are the most expensive players in Asia.” 메이저 토토사이트

Japan ranks first with a total of 345.5 million dollars. The second place is the Korean national team. The second place is Iran with 210.4 million dollars. The third place is Iran with 56.2 million dollars. Individually, Kim Min-jae and Kubo are tied for first with 65.4 million dollars. Son Heung-min and Mitoma both ranked third with 54.5 million dollars. Australia was followed by Australia with 44.6 million dollars.

Kim Min-jae and Kubo are tied for first place, but the reason why Son Heung-min was named the title is presumed to be because of his recognition. Kim Min-jae and Kubo began to make their mark in Europe in the past year or two. On the other hand, Son has continued to play at the top of the league, scoring double-digit goals for eight consecutive seasons.

VNE said, “Among the top 20 players in this year’s event, Japan has 13 and Korea has four. The other three are Iranian strikers Mehdi Taremi (FC Porto), Sardar Azmun (AS Roma), and Australian defender Harry Souttar (Leicester City).” Vietnam avoided losing the last place. Hong Kong ranked the bottom with 6.5 million dollars. Vietnam ranked second at 6.6 million dollars.

VNE said, “The value of the Vietnamese national team is 52 times lower than that of Japan. Philippe Nguyen, the goalkeeper of the Vietnamese Czech Republic, is the highest paid in the team at 657,000 U.S. dollars. This is equivalent to about 10 percent of the Vietnamese national team’s value.” Son’s ransom is 83 times that of Nguyen.

“Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has announced that Dominique Sobosleri will miss at least the next two games,” Liverpool said on its website on Thursday (Korea time). Liverpool won 4-2 against Newcastle in the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023/24 season at Anfield in Liverpool, England. Sobosler collapsed in the match holding his hamstring. He was eventually replaced in the 19th minute of the second half.

After the match, Klopp told BBC Sport that he praised the team’s energetic performance but expressed concern over players’ exhaustion of physical strength. “I hope Dominic Soboslij, who injured his hamstring, is not in a serious condition. Other players have felt that. But if you want to win a football match, you have no other option.”

Klopp added: “We wanted to take him out, that was the plan, but unfortunately we were about a minute late because we felt our hamstring in the last situation. We don’t know how much it is now, so we have to wait.” 에볼루션 바카라사이트

Now, the extent of the injury has been determined. Sobosli will miss the Emirates FA Cup against Arsenal and the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham mid-week. “I can tell you it’s not a potential injury, I can tell you it’s an injury. It’s muscle, hamstring. But we have to wait and see,” Klopp told Arsenal in a pre-match press conference.

“I can’t tell you the exact schedule of my return, but I’m going to miss the next two games. I’m not feeling that much pain, but I think I’ll need time.”

Sobosler’s injury is a big blow to Liverpool. With Mac Allister just back from injury, Sobosler has played all the league games and energized the team. If Sobosler’s injury is prolonged, there will be a big hole in Liverpool’s mid-field.

The good news is that Elliott’s form is not bad. Elliott and Hrabunberg can fill the short-term gap. However, if Sobossoly’s injury drags on, Liverpool, which is ranked first, could find it difficult to defend itself.

It’s not even an A-match. The team has to endure a whopping 8,600 miles and 33 hours of flight en route to and from the cup. It is a phenomenon in soccer. The Golden Lion of Martinique, a small island in the Caribbean Sea, participated in the round of 64 strongest teams at the Coupe de France (France Cup) held at Stade Pierre Morois on Wednesday (Korea time). The opponent team is Lille, a powerhouse of the Ligue 1.

However, there was no Martinique version of “Miracle of Calais” even during the long journey. The Golden Lion lost 0-12 to Lille.

There is only one reason that Golden Rhinion can play in the French Cup, and Martinique is French. Lillel took the lead with Yusuf Yazs’ opening goal in the 11th minute of the first half. He scored seven goals in the first half alone to win the game.

Canadian Jonathan David and Edon Zegrova each scored a hat-trick, accounting for half of Lille’s 12 goals. Yazz and Hakon Arnar Haraldson also scored multiple goals each with two goals. 안전한 파워볼사이트

It is the first time that Lille won the French Cup by 12 goals. The Golden Lion only had one shot. However, it was satisfactory to face the Ligue 1 team in the Mainland.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in is away to participate in the Qatar Asian Cup, will face US Rebels, an amateur team in the sixth division, on the 8th. According to Britain’s Daily Star, the Rebels team and officials all hugged and cheered when PSG was decided as the opponent.
