Lotte’s Son Ho-young shrugs off back-to-back hits “I was happy”

Lotte Giants infielder Son Ho-young (29), who set a record for hitting in 30 consecutive games, tied for the third-longest streak in professional baseball history, shrugged off the disappointment of having his streak interrupted.

“I was very satisfied and had a lot of fun,” Son told reporters before the Giants’ game against the Gochuk Kiwoom Heroes on April 22. If such an opportunity comes again, I want to be a little more greedy,” he said.

The previous day against Kiwoom, Son went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout to end his hitting streak.

In his final at-bat in the eighth inning, he hit an infield grounder and made a head-first sliding catch at first base, but was unable to get a hit.

“I actually knew I was out, but I’m thankful that the manager asked for a video replay,” Son said.

Son, who said he was “not greedy at all” during his hitting streak, admitted that he was conscious of the record in his last at-bat of the previous day’s game.

“I just need one more game (to match Park Jung-tae’s record of 31 hits in 31 games, the second-best single-season total in history), so I got greedy and hit the ball, but it didn’t work out, and that was it,” he said.

“What’s past is past,” he said, adding, “I left more (regrets) at the hotel yesterday.” “I was really happy, but people around me were worried that the record was broken. I’m really satisfied,” he said.

Son Ho-young, who was unable to perform at his best with the LG Twins until last season due to frequent injuries, has blossomed in a Lotte uniform this year.

At one point last year, he wondered if he should quit baseball, but this season he has become Lotte’s centerpiece hitter, batting .324 (55-for-170) with eight home runs and 35 RBIs.

The three letters of his name have become a symbol of hope for the players who are still battling it out in the second team.

“I feel like I need to work harder,” Son said. Even if it’s a little hard now, there will be a good day, so I wish all the other players well,” she said.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, “He said he didn’t care, but I could see the urgency in his batting. She’s our center fielder, so I hope she can get back to her batting pace again.” 안전놀이터

Hwang Hee Chan meets a fan: “I’m not a special person…I will communicate and enjoy more”

Wolverhampton (England) forward Hwang Hee chan, who leads the South Korean national soccer team up front, has a special place in his heart for the city of Bucheon.

He was born in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, but has lived in Bucheon since elementary school. His family home is also in Bucheon.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Hwang Hee-chan held the ‘Hwang Hee-chan Football Festival’ on the lawn in front of Bucheon City Hall to show his gratitude for the support he received from the citizens of Bucheon.

Despite the pouring rain, about 2,000 fans visited the plaza, demonstrating the popularity of the soccer star.

“I’m so happy that we were able to hold such a big festival in Bucheon City,” said Hwang Hee-chan, who met with the press while fans in raincoats looked on. I will try to have a good time with as many citizens as possible,” he said.

“Even though I am a professional soccer player, I don’t think I am that special,” he said, “I am the same person. So I want to be with the fans a little bit and share a good time with them,” he added.

Hwang is known for his fan service among national team players.

Earlier this month, Hwang led the national team’s open training session at Goyang Sports Complex.

At the end of a raffle organized by the Korea Football Association, Hwang took the microphone.

“Do you want Son Heung-min’s training jersey?” he shouted provocatively, and the fans responded with loud cheers. Son Heung-min hesitated, looking embarrassed, and eventually took off his training jersey to give it away.

“I want to show more of that human side of myself,” Hwang said, “I want to communicate with my fans as much as possible, so if you support me, I will get closer to you.”

On the day, Hwang also met with fans on the field as a futsal player alongside Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham City) and Lee Jin-hyun (Pushcha Niepołomice).

“I think it’s easier for me to teach younger people (than the show’s cast),” said Hwang, who recently appeared on SBS TV’s “Running Man” and worked with the cast.

In fact, many children showed up at the square wearing Hwang’s jersey.

“When I was younger, I also dreamed of becoming a great player like him after watching national team players and my older brothers playing in the K League,” Hwang said, adding, “Many of my younger friends came today, and I would be very happy if they could see me and develop their dreams like that.”

At a gallery in the Bucheon Art Center adjacent to the square, Hwang’s jerseys, soccer shoes, trophies, and fashion photos have been on display for the past 20 days.

“When I look at the photos, I think, ‘Is it me?’ I’m just grateful that you like it so much,” Hwang said. I’m just grateful that you like it so much,” she said, adding, “Of course, it’s not an exhibition that reflects my will.”

“I hope I have the opportunity to continue to communicate with fans like this, but for that to happen, I have to continue to play soccer well,” he said, adding, “I hope I have a lot of time to communicate with fans and have fun while focusing on soccer and making memories.” 파워볼게임

Dresl is back…wins 50-meter freestyle at U.S. Olympic Trials in Paris

American swimming star Caleb Dressl, 27, overcame a panic attack to earn a prized Olympic berth.

Dressl touched the pads in 21.41 seconds to win the men’s 50-meter freestyle final at the U.S. Swimming Management Team Trials for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S., on Wednesday (Aug. 22).

Dressl, who earlier finished third in the 100-meter freestyle to qualify for the 400-meter freestyle relay, earned his first individual spot at the Paris Games.

In 2021, Dressl, the men’s 50-meter freestyle gold medalist at Tokyo 2020, will attempt to win back-to-back gold medals.

Dressl, who has seven career Olympic gold medals, abruptly withdrew from the rest of the 2022 World Championships in Budapest and returned home.

He disappeared from the pool for a while afterward and later admitted to battling panic disorder.

Dressl also qualified for the final in the men’s 100-meter butterfly semifinals, finishing first in 50.79 seconds.

Dressl holds the world record in the 100-meter butterfly (49.45).

Carson Foster won the men’s 200-meter individual medley in 1:55.65, while Regan Smith took first in the women’s 200-meter backstroke final in 2:05.16. 사설토토

Bentancur only mentions Son Heung-min, who apologized again after controversy over racism

Rodrigo Bentancur (27, Tottenham Hotspur) once again left an apology. This time, he left a post, not a story that disappears 24 hours later.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancrew wrote on his personal social media on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time), “I want to say something to the fans and everyone who supports us.” It was an apology for the racism he recently committed toward Son Heung-min.

Tottenham midfielder Bentancur was asked by the host who appeared on Uruguayan TV show “For La Camisetta” on Saturday. He meant that he wanted Tottenham’s captain Son Heung-min’s uniform. Bentancur also asked, “Do you shoot?” (Son Heung-min’s nickname).

a blatant racist remark that all Asians look alike

Bentancur laughed, saying, “It could be Son’s cousin’s uniform. They all look alike.” The host laughed together, too. It was an obvious racist remark that all Asians look alike.

The controversy grew beyond control, and Bentancur posted an apology on social media. He said, “Sonnie my brother! I apologize for what happened. That was a really bad joke. I love you so much, and I want you to know that I will never ignore or hurt you or anyone else! I love you brother,” with his head down.

토토사이트 predicted that the apology would not avoid noise. Bentancur was criticized by some fans as he posted an apology on Instagram, which disappeared 24 hours after it was posted. Currently, the apology has been posted.

It’s not just a bad joke, it’s obvious racism

Bentancur even made the mistake of writing “Sonny” as “Sony.” “Sonny” is the name of a Japanese electronics company, not Son’s nickname. Most of all, if Bentancur really reflected on himself, he should have admitted accurately that he was insensitive to racist remarks and apologized. It is not just a bad joke but an obvious racism.

Tottenham’s response was delayed. Bentancur apologized anyway, but the club’s official stance rarely came out. It was a different response from past cases. A Crystal Palace fan who spoke out racist comments to Son was banned from the stadium for three years. A Nottingham Forest fan who was involved in Son’s racist scandal in December last year was also fined and banned for three years. Chelsea fans who made racist gestures towards Son in a match against Tottenham in 2022 are banned from the stadium indefinitely.

However, Tottenham only acted after Son Heung-min’s statement on Tuesday said, “I talked to Bentancur. He admitted that he made a mistake and apologized. He didn’t mean to say anything offensive on purpose.”

Regardless of Son Heung-min’s acceptance of an apology, the English Football Association (FA) can discipline him

It has been reported that regardless of Bentancrew’s apology or Son’s acceptance of the apology, the English Football Association (FA) could impose disciplinary action against him. The Times reported on Monday that Bentancourt is likely to be disciplined by the FA for making discriminatory remarks that Son and Koreans both look alike. Media outlets explain that it does not matter whether Son accepted his apology.

Is it because the news was reported? Bentan Crew again issued an apology. This time, he sent an apology via a post, not a story function. “I had a conversation with Son about what I mentioned in the interview, and based on our deep friendship, we understood that this was just an unfortunate misunderstanding,” he said.

“Everything became clear and settled. I sincerely apologize if there were people who were offended by my remarks. What I want to say is clear, however, is that I only mentioned Son Heung-min, never mentioned anyone else. Therefore, I never intended to insult anyone directly or indirectly. I have great respect to everyone.”

Kim Moon-hwan joins professional soccer’s K League 1 Daejeon, led by Hwang Sun-hong

Defender Kim Moon-hwan has joined Daejeon Hana Citizen of the K League One and will be coached by Hwang Sun-hong.

The Daejeon club announced the signing of Kim on Tuesday. It is Daejeon’s first signing since Hwang took over as head coach earlier this month.

“Kim Moon-hwan, who can play both fullback and wingback with his excellent offensive and defensive abilities, is optimized for the team’s tactics of switching between three and four backs. He can be utilized in a variety of positions.”

Kim made his professional debut with Busan I-Park in 2017 and was named to the K League 2 Best 11 for two consecutive seasons in 2018 and 2019.

In January 2021, he left Busan for LAFC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), where he recorded one goal and one assist in 28 games before donning the Jeonbuk Hyundai jersey in March 2022.

Kim had a breakout year with Jeonbuk, earning a spot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and in July of last year, he found a new home in Al Duhail, Qatar.

After his stint in the Middle East, Kim returned to the K League, this time in a Daejeon jersey.

Daejeon, which has reorganized under Hwang, has only won three games, drawn six and lost eight this season and has fallen to the bottom of the table.

Kim said, “The team is in a difficult situation, but I don’t think the current position is a good fit for Daejeon. We will adapt quickly, turn the tide with our teammates, and make a new leap forward to bring joy to our passionate fans.” 안전놀이터

Manager Lee Seung-yup “Choi Seung-yong to return in a month… Lee Yoo-chan to play outfield”

Doosan Bears left-handed pitcher Choi Seung-yong (23) is expected to return to the first team on July 20th.

Infielder Lee Yoo-chan (25) is trying out for the outfield.

“Seung-yong Choi will return to the first team around July 20,” Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said ahead of the team’s home game against the NC Dinos in Seoul’s Jamsil Stadium on July 20. “He’s currently pitching half pitches and gradually increasing his pitch count.”

Choi, who went 3-6 with one save and a 3.97 ERA in 31 games last year while splitting time between starting and relieving, was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his elbow earlier this year and began rehabilitation.

“The most important thing is to prevent his injury from recurring,” Lee said. “We want to put him on the first team after he recovers completely. He is rehabilitating smoothly, so we can expect to see him in July.”

Manager Lee Seung-yeop, who dropped Choi from the first-team roster on Oct. 18 to give homegrown ace Kwak Bin a rest, will start Choi against the Daegu Samsung Lions on Oct. 21.

Choi’s removal from the first team roster was also to give him a break.

After the rest, Choi Jun-ho will take the mound again.

Doosan plans to use Raul Alcantara, Brandon Waddell, two foreign players and Choi Jun-ho, Kim Dong-joo and Choi Won-joon in the starting lineup until Kwak Bin returns.

There are also changes in the outfield.

Lee Yoo-chan, whose primary position is infielder, made substitute appearances in the middle infield against the Gochuk Kiwoom Heroes on the 16th and Jamsil NC on the 19th.

While Lee has shown off his hitting ability with a .304 batting average (21-for-69), he hasn’t gotten much playing time because Doosan’s infield is solid with Yang Seok-hwan at first base, Kang Seung-ho at second base, Park Jun-young at shortstop, and Heo Kyung-min at third base.

Lee said, “I’m trying to use him in the outfield to increase his versatility. He knows that he needs to play the outfield to get playing time,” said Lee. “He has been training in the outfield every chance he gets since the beginning of the season. When the score is close late in the game, we will use him in the outfield to gain practical experience.” 사설토토

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol “I hope Ko Young-pyo adapts quickly… the ball is not bad”

KT WIZ head coach Lee Kang-cheol encouraged starter Ko Young-pyo, who struggled in his return from injury.

Ahead of their baseball game against the Lotte Giants at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 20th, Lee said, “It’s hard to judge from one game yesterday. The ball wasn’t that bad,” Lee said.

The day before, Ko Young-pyo, who made his first appearance on the mound for the first team in 78 days after completing an injury rehabilitation, suffered a loss against Lotte, allowing six runs on nine hits with four walks and six strikeouts in five innings.

Prior to this game, Ko was a “giant hunter” with a career record of 8-4 with a 2.47 ERA against Lotte and a 5-2 record with a 0.98 ERA since 2021.

“It was the first game, so I didn’t expect much,” Lee said, adding, “I just hope he can adapt quickly and show good form in the next game.”

He also believes that Ko Young-pyo was targeted by Lotte because of the team’s generation change and power analysis.

“When you start to struggle against teams that you’ve been pitching well against, you know that your player base is changing,” Lee said, adding, “You’ve seen Reyes, Yoon Dong-hee, Na Seung-yup, Ko Seung-min, Son Ho-young, and other players that you haven’t seen before.”

“(The changeup) was dropped in front of home plate, and they all hit it, and (the hitters) got in front of the plate, and the ball got caught in front of them, and they got out at first or second base,” he recalled. 안전 토토사이트

K-League 2 Seongnam’s Jang Hyo-Joon gets post-sentence reduction…

“minimized the impact of the tackle”

Seongnam FC defender Jang Hyo-joon, who was sent off for an on-field tackle, has received a post-match review and will be able to play in the next game.

The Korean Professional Football Association announced on Tuesday that it has decided to reduce the suspension of Seongnam’s Jang Hyo-joon after holding its 11th penalty committee meeting.

Jang was sent off in the 17th round of the K League 2 home match against FC Anyang at Tancheon Sports Complex on March 15 for a late injury-time tackle that hit Anyang’s Park Jong-hyun in the shin.

The Korea Football Association’s refereeing committee held a professional evaluation panel meeting and acknowledged that Jang’s stud touched Park Jong-hyun’s shin, but decided that the penalty should be reduced after the fact, saying that Jang bent his knee to minimize the impact and protect his opponent just before contact.

The Federation’s Penalty Committee decided to reduce Jang’s suspension based on the assessment of the Korea Football Association Referees Committee and the opinion of the Federation’s Technical Committee.

Jang’s suspension, fine, and team demerit points for his ejection were all waived.

Jang will be eligible to play in the match against Suwon Samsung in Round 18. 먹튀검증

Park Yong-taek’s special visit to Jamsil…

A KBSN Sports commentator will visit Jamsil Baseball Stadium to watch the moment his KBO League career hit record is broken.

An official from the NC Dinos said on Tuesday, “If Son As-seob (36) breaks the record for career hits today, commissioner Park Yong-taek will deliver a congratulatory bouquet.” “Commissioner Park first contacted the club to say, ‘I want to personally congratulate Son on achieving the record,'” the official said.

With one more hit against the visiting Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, Son will become the KBO’s all-time leader in career hits.

The day before, Son had 2,504 hits, tying him with Park Yong-taek for first place.

On June 23, 2018, Park Yong-taek hit his 2,319th hit in an LG Twins uniform, surpassing Yang Jun-hyuk, the chairman of the Korea Baseball Foundation.

At the time, Chairman Yang visited Jamsil Stadium and hugged Park Yong-taek, who surpassed his record.

Park, who retired after hitting 2,504 hits through the 2020 season, will be happy to see his name drop to second place in the KBO’s all-time hits list after six years.

When he gets his 2,505th hit, the team will hold a “short ceremony” when he scores a run or returns to the dugout from an out.

Commissioner Park Yong-taek will present a bouquet of flowers to Son, along with NC president Lim Sun-nam, manager Kang In-hwa and Doosan players.

The KBO decided to use a pre-marked ball at Son’s bat to retrieve his KBO career-high hit memorabilia.

Many stakeholders are waiting for the moment when Son achieves his hard-earned hit record.

“His record is the result of a lot of things, including self-management, ability, and concentration,” said NC coach Kang In-hwa. He is synonymous with steadiness that everyone recognizes.” “He says that he is not conscious of the record, but he should set the record soon to ease the pressure. I hope he gets a hit soon.” 파워볼게임

After ‘Olympic failure,’ South Korean soccer proposes improvements to age-graded national teams

The Korea Football Association has proposed improvements to the national team management system for each age group, including the under-23 (U-23), after failing to qualify for the Olympic Games for the 10th consecutive time.

The KFA held a presentation at the Jongno Football Hall in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on Tuesday, announcing the technical philosophy and policies of Korean soccer, as well as plans to improve the national team management system for each age group.

South Korea failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics after falling in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup in April.

It was the first time South Korea had failed to qualify for an Olympic men’s soccer tournament in 40 years, since the 1984 Los Angeles Games, and the loss to Indonesia, which was considered an underdog, sent shockwaves through the soccer world.

Hwang Sun-hong, who coached South Korea to gold at last year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou and then to the Paris Olympics, said after the U-23 Asian Cup exit that the system needed to change, saying that “age-group teams should be on a four-year cycle.”

The federation, which failed to qualify for the Olympic Games and also failed to win the Asian Cup for adults earlier this year, has made a number of changes to the national team management system in response to the crisis.

The main changes include having separate Asian Games and Olympic coaches for the U-23 teams, with one head coach overseeing the entire program.

In addition to the U-23 and U-22 coaches preparing for the Asian Games, the U-21 coach will also be in charge of the U-21 team to bridge the gap in managing age-group players for the future Olympic Games.

“We considered having the U-21 team compete in the Asian Games with a focus on the Olympics, but we came to the conclusion that the Asian Games is more important than the Olympics, so we had to win the gold medal with the most elite members,” said Cho Joon-heon, head of the National Operations Team. The military service benefits that athletes receive for winning an Asian Games gold medal could not be ignored.

There have also been proposals to have separate teams for the Asian Games and the Olympics every four years, but the disadvantages include lack of continuity and coordination and reduced efficiency.

In the end, the team decided to ‘dualize’ the team under the supervision of one head coach, but it is pointed out that it is difficult to make a big difference from the current operation method.

“There are practical difficulties because the only time we can gather the players together is during the A-Match, but we can overcome those concerns depending on the coach’s capabilities, the federation’s will, and how well the technical director, manager, and coaching staff collaborate, share philosophy, and lead every training session,” Cho said.

For the U-17 team, which will play in the World Cup every year starting next year, the coaches will split between the U-16 and U-15 teams and focus on them in “one-year increments”.

For the U-20s, one coach from the national team will take over the U-18s, which have been relatively neglected, and will be in charge of training and competitions.

The KFA also announced the technical philosophy of Korean soccer, “Fast, Brave, and Driven,” amid the realization that there is no consistency in policy direction and no systematic system.

The ultimate goal of the KFA is to lead world soccer and inspire fans by developing excellent players. Specifically, the goal is to “enter the top 10 in the world by 2033.

In addition, the association laid out the detailed principles of the game, divided into offense, defense, attack transition, and defense transition, and introduced coaching and training guidelines for playing such games.

Lee Im-sang, technical director of the association, said, “Based on the soccer philosophy and game model, we will move forward with the connection between the A national team and the U-23 and U-20 national teams. The age group teams up to U-17 will focus on discovering talented players and developing their personal growth and characteristics through world-class experiences.” 스포츠토토
