Kim Kyung-moon takes care of Ryu Hyun-jin after 12-hit night

Eagles ace Ryu Hyun-jin gave up six runs on a career-high 12 hits, but the offense came through for the Eagles to earn their sixth win of the season after five games.

Baseball's Hanwha Eagles defeated the KT Wiz 18-7 in the 14th game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League season at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, South Korea, on Wednesday.

All of our players did a great job," said the team after the victory.

Batting hero Chae Eun-sung said, "Many fans came to the stadium in the hot weather, and it feels good to continue our winning streak. The team's batting has been good lately, and I'm glad the team won today because we continued the flow." "It was a crucial time for us, and I felt bad for the team because we didn't hit well. The season is not over yet, so I will do my best from now on to play a role in the team's victory," said Han.

Hanwha will look to sweep the series on Aug. 1 with the Baby Eagles' Moon Dong-joo. KT has announced Eom Sang-baek.

Spalletti suddenly blames players + strange excuses

Italy's Spalletti gave a lame excuse.

"Italy coach Luciano Spalletti has come up with a unique excuse for his team's disappointing performance," British media outlet Tribuna reported on Jan. 1 (Korea time).

The Azzurri were unable to salvage their honor as the defending champions in their Euro 2024 Round of 16 match against Switzerland at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, on Tuesday, losing 0-2.

Switzerland dominated the first half against the defending champions and kept pushing forward before finally opening the scoring. In the 36th minute, Akanji played the ball forward before Mbolo and Ndoye exchanged passes before the latter found Vargas on the flank. Vargas sent a well-placed ground ball cross to the onrushing Froyler, who made it 1-0 with a fantastic finish.

Italy fell apart in the first minute of the second half. Switzerland continued to create attacking chances down the left flank, and Vargas received the ball and scored a wonder goal with an incredible curling effort to make it 2-0. The underdogs pressured Italy for the rest of the game and sent the Azzurri home, cruising to the quarterfinals.

Italy was unimpressive throughout the group stage and didn't raise their game in the 토토 먹튀검증 round of 16. This string of dreadful performances drew criticism from Italy, and Spalletti accepted the blame.

After the game, Spalletti said, "I am responsible for what happened. The fault always lies with the coach because I chose the players. I didn't have much time to get to know the players. All previous managers played 20 games, some 30, to test and get to know their players. A few more games would have helped," he said.

But suddenly Spalletti had a strange excuse: "Inter Milan won Serie A, and I was convinced that they were a very professional and serious club because coach Simone Inzaghi kept training the team in a certain way. I was aware of how often Inter trained, but it might not have been subconsciously applied because they won the league early," he said.

Spalletti pointed out that Inter Milan's players, who won the league early in April, did not train enough ahead of Euro 2024. Five Inter Milan players are in the national team squad, with Varela-Darmian-Bastoni starting the match against Switzerland.

Despite the loss against Switzerland, Spalletti remained calm about his position as head coach of the Italian national team. "Gabriele Gravina, the president of the Italian Football Federation, has always treated me like a great person, a serious professional, so he is constantly talking to me," he said.

Romano confirms…no penalty for leaving like at Tottenham

Antonio Conte and Napoli have reportedly not inserted an early termination clause into his contract.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano, who is well versed in European soccer news, wrote on his social media account on Monday (Jan. 1), “Conte will stay at Napoli. The details have been agreed upon. Conte will sign a contract until June 2027,” the report said.

Conte has been in the wilderness since stepping down as manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Conte accepted the Spurs job in November 2021, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo. Conte's first season was deemed a success, as the club finished in fourth place.

However, his second season was problematic. The team's results dropped in his second season and he was under increasing pressure. In this situation, Conte dropped a bombshell. “I think it”s the right time to speak out because after this game I think it"s unacceptable. I see selfish players on the pitch,” he criticized.

He eventually parted ways with Tottenham. He left the team in March 2023 by mutual consent. Spurs were then coached by Christian Stellini and Ryan Mason for the remainder of the season. Conte has been in the wilderness for over a year and two months now.

As the end of the season approached, he was linked to a number of clubs. Napoli was one of them. Conte had already been linked to Napoli in January, when he was spotted watching a match in person. However, he wasn't in charge at the time.

It looks like the end of the season has finally brought about a re-discussion. Napoli won the Italian 토토 Serie A title for the first time in 33 years last season, but the team finished the season below expectations. After the departure of Luciano Spalletti, the team was managed by Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri, and Francesco Calzona, but finished the season in 10th place in the league.

Napoli were in contact with Conte shortly after the end of the season, with Italian outlet Sport Mediaset reporting that “Conte and Napoli have grown closer. President De Laurentiis has authorized the finalization of negotiations with an offer of €8 million for a three-year contract.”

They have an open-ended contract. According to Romano, “Conte's Napoli contract does not contain any special clause for the early termination of his contract. It runs until June 2027 with no release clause. There is no official amount or guarantee on paper for the early termination of the contract.”

In recent years, clubs have been sacking managers without completing their contracts, often with large penalties. Thomas Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich with immediate effect, was reportedly hit with a €10 million penalty. However, Napoli have no such contract with Conte.

Conte has never been in charge of a team for more than three years, except for his time at Juventus. He never made it to his third season at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. During his time at Spurs, Conte's contract was mutually terminated after he failed to fulfill his contractual obligations due to discord with the players. Napoli seem to have a failsafe in place for him.

World's strongest team humiliated by Bayern Munich 'rejection'

Embarrassing. Bayern Munich's "coach search" has gone down to Plan D.

On February 2 (ET), the Daily Mail reported that Austria national soccer team coach Ralf Langenig has decided to stay. Bayern Munich has received yet another rejection after Bayer 04 Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso and Germany national soccer team coach Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern Munich will now have to turn to Plan D," the report said.

Bayern Munich have made two 'big signings' ahead of the 2023-2024 season. In the attack, the Bavarians have signed Harry Kane, the "gun of England". In defense, they signed "monster defender" Kim Min-Jae. Expectations were high. But Bayern Munich didn't quite hit their stride. They lost the German Bundesliga title they had won since the 2012-2013 season. They were also eliminated early in the German Cup. The poor results led to rumors of discord within the team. There were reports of a rift between some players, including Kane, Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Muller.

The new season promised changes. Head coach Thomas Tuchel has decided to leave the team at the end of the season. Bayern Munich tried to find a new coach. But every time they sent out a 'love letter', it was rejected.

The Mirror reports: 'Bayern Munich have been rejected by Alonso, Nagelsmann. Lang was their third 메이저사이트 choice. But he said he would stay on to lead the Austrian national team. 'Langnick decided to stay with the team to coach the Austrian national team. This is not a rejection of Bayern Munich. It's a decision for me, the team, and our common goals.

The outlet said: 'Langnick was the interim manager of Manchester United in the 2021-2022 season. He is a familiar name in the English Premier League (EPL). However, he didn't get the results he wanted at United. However, expectations are high in Germany. He"s known as the father of Gegenpressing. He has also done quite well with the Austrian national team," he added.

The question is who will be Bayern Munich's next coach? He's already been rejected three times. The Mirror concludes: 'It's very interesting. FC Barcelona have succeeded in securing the services of Xavi Hernandez. When it was reported that Bayern Munich were in contact with Rangnick, fans sided with Tuchel. However, Tuchel said he hasn't made any comments yet. "I want the fans to stay, but I don't allow it to become a priority," Tuchel said.

Albano makes history as first 'foreign national MVP' in pro basketball history

For the first time in the history of professional basketball since its inception in 1997, a foreign player has been named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the regular season. This is Wonju DB's Filipino guard Lee Sun Albano.

Albano received 50 of the 111 total votes cast by journalists at the 2023-2024 Jungkwanjang Professional Basketball League Regular Season Awards Ceremony held at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on Jan. 1, narrowly beating out teammate Kang Sang-jae, who received 47 votes.

Albano appeared in all 54 regular season games this season, averaging 15.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game. He ranked second in scoring and assists among domestic and Asian-American players combined.

Albano, a dual U.S.-Philippine citizen who grew up in the U.S., played in Germany and elsewhere before joining DB last season, and in his second season in Korea, he earned the rare distinction of becoming the first foreign national to win the MVP award. The award is a result of the KBL's decision to combine Asian and domestic players to compete for records.

However, regardless of the Asian quota system that applies to Filipino and Japanese players, foreign players recruited by each team will compete separately to determine the winner.

Led by Albano, DB went 41-13 and won the "wire-to-wire" title, finishing first from start to finish of the regular season. DB forward Kang Sang-jae also averaged 14.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 51 먹튀검증 games, but narrowly missed out on the MVP award by three votes.

DB dominated the awards ceremony, with Dedrick Lawson taking home the Foreign Player MVP award. Lawson received 57 of the 111 total votes cast, edging out KT's Paris Bass (51) by six votes. Lawson averaged 21.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in all 53 regular-season games. The head coach award went to Kim Joo-sung, who led DB to a first-place finish in the regular season. Even the Sixth Man Award went to DB's Park In-woong.

Meanwhile, the Rookie of the Year award went to Changwon LG shooter Yoo Yoo-sang. He received a whopping 86 out of 111 votes, comfortably beating out his teammate Park Moo-bin (Hyundai Mobis), who received 25 votes. Yoo scored 8.1 points per game. With 95 three-pointers in 52 games, Yoo set a new record for most three-pointers made in a season by a rookie in history. His success rate was 42.4%.

Lee Jung-hyun (SONO), Kang Sang-jae, Albano, Lawson, and Bass rounded out the season's top five. Lee, who was mentioned as an MVP candidate for his dominant individual performance but did not receive enough votes due to his team's eighth-place finish, instead took home five awards, including the Best Five and the Player of the Year award, as well as three statistical titles, including assists (6.6), steals (2.0), and three-pointers made (2.9).

First PL goal, first goal at new stadium, first goal for Palace

Tottenham Hotspur spotlights Son Heung-min's record.

Tottenham will host Crystal Palace in the 27th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on March 3 at 0:00 a.m. ET. Spurs are in fifth place with 14 wins, five draws, and six losses (47 points), while Palace is in 13th place with seven wins, seven draws, and 12 losses (28 points).

"Son Heung-min represents all of us," Tottenham said on the club's official website on Monday. Having already played 395 games for Tottenham and scored 157 goals in all competitions, it's no surprise to look back on two of his biggest moments," the club said on its official website.

Son Heung-min's PL debut came against Palace. "His first goal in the PL was everything we expect from him now," Tottenham said of the moment. On September 20, 2015, Son started against Palace in the sixth round of the PL and scored his PL debut and the winning goal. The rest is history.

Tottenham even captured Son's post-match comments. "I'm really happy we won and I scored a goal. I'm really happy every day I train and play. I will do my best every game," he said after the match.

It didn't end there, as Son Heung-min scored the first PL goal at the newly opened Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Against Palace. "It was Son Heung-min who had the honor of scoring the first goal in the first match at our new home on April 3, 2019," Tottenham said. Son had previously scored against Palace in the PL 32nd round of the 2018-19 season to lead the team to a comfortable 2-0 win.

"I'm proud of my teammates, staff, and fans, and I want to thank them for giving me the 먹튀검증 opportunity to play in this incredible stadium. I'm the happiest man in the world," Son said after the game.

Tottenham look back at two of Son Heung-min's shining moments against Palace. It's a testament to the club's love for the now captain's armband-wearing Spurs legend.

Son has been particularly strong against Palace. In 16 games against them, Tottenham have a staggering 13 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with 8 goals and 2 assists. The 'Palace Killer' will be in goal hunting mode again against Palace.

'Catcher→Outfielder' position switch to improve Futures' home run king Jang's bat

Kiwoom Heroes' Joo Sung-won, 24, is determined to make a splash this season. He has been working hard to improve his long-hitting power. Now, he wants to show his respect in the first team instead of the Futures League.

Joo Sung-won graduated from Gaesong High School and was drafted by the Burgundy with the 24th overall pick in the third round of the 2019 secondary draft. He was recognized as an offensive catcher with long power. Like most catchers, Joo gained experience mainly in the second team. Head coach Hong Won-ki said, "Joo Sung-won is a big catcher who is attracting attention. He has a bright future. He is the secret weapon of the Heroes," and expressed his expectations for his growth.

However, Joo Sung-won no longer wears a catcher's mask. He switched positions to take advantage of his hitting ability. He now plays as an outfielder. "I continued to play catcher after I left the military. It was difficult to utilize my batting, which is my strong point, while practicing defense. The team first suggested that I switch to the outfield," he said, revealing the reason for his switch to the outfield.

"Now I don't have any regrets about being a catcher. He was also attracted to the fact that he could revitalize the team's atmosphere when he blocked a long hit with his catcher's helmet, and he could press the opponent's spirit. "Outfielders are very active. It's fun to run around the field and practice defense. Outfielders can also block long balls with their defense. I like that I can make spectacular plays. I don't have any regrets about being a catcher now."

Joo's bat has the potential to improve enough to switch positions. He won the home run award in the Futures League North in 2022. If he can play in the first team, the Heroes' thirst for big guns could be quenched. "Since I was a rookie, my strength has improved through systematic training. I had to train harder because I can't make a long hit with just my strength, but I had good training, so it paid off in the long hit department," he said.

Last year, he experienced the thrill of making his first-team debut. He couldn't contain his excitement when he heard the fans screaming in the Gocheok Sky Dome. The experience motivated him to get better at baseball. "I played in the first team for the first time last year. It was more fun to play baseball. I think the stage where I can do well is on the field where the fans support me. The fans' support motivates me," he said, adding that he hopes to play for a long time in the first team this year.

Kiwoom also has high hopes for Joo Sung-won. Joo prepared for the season at the first team's spring camp in Arizona, USA this year. He trained with his role model Kim Hye-sung and learned from her. He also learned how she approaches baseball.

"My role model is Hye-sung," Joo said. He is an exemplary player and a hard worker that everyone 토토 recognizes. I learned that I have to work hard like him to love baseball and be good at it. I asked him a lot and learned a lot. Talking about baseball together changed my perspective and mindset. Hye-sung praised him a lot, saying that he was doing a good job. His words gave me a lot of encouragement."

In spring camp, he worked hard to develop his long-hitting power and improve his defense. All in order to survive in the first team. "I need to get better at baseball to be noticed during the season," says Joo. During camp, I focused on what I can do well and trained. I want to be a stable outfielder in defense, and in batting, I trained to complement my long bat," he said, adding that he hopes the results of his training will show in practice.

"Three kids, oldest son starting baseball" Revisiting Ohtani's

The surprise wedding announcement of Japanese two-hitting "baseball prodigy" Shohei Ohtani (30, Los Angeles Dodgers) has fans rediscovering the detailed "life plan" he created in high school. It detailed his career as a baseball player, as well as his plans for marriage and children.

"Not only have I started a new life with the Dodgers, but I've also started a new life with someone very special to me. I'm getting married," he wrote, "to a Japanese woman." Baseball fans were surprised to learn that Ohtani, who has been called a "straight-living man who knows nothing but baseball" who has given up on the paparazzi, was actually a "sold-out man.

The international community has also rediscovered a life plan that Otani wrote when he was a seventeen-year-old boy attending Hanamaki Higashi High School. It lists one or two of his biggest goals for each year until he was forty-two. In addition to what he hopes to accomplish as a baseball player, he also lists his plans for marriage and his children's education.

Here, Ohtani writes that he got married "at the age of 26". Then, at 28, his first son is born, and at 31, he holds his second daughter in his arms. At 33, he has a third son, and at 37, his oldest son starts playing baseball. He hopes to raise his second son, who will inherit his "baseball genius" genes, to be a baseball player as well.

As a teenager, Ohtani hoped to move to the United States immediately after high school. At the age of 20, he wanted to enter the major leagues, join the starting rotation the following year, win 16 games, and win the Cy Young Award. By the time he was 26, he wanted to get married and wear a World Series (WS) ring.

In real life, Ohtani's life is a little different than this life plan. It wasn"t until 2018, five years after his professional debut in Japan, that he joined the Los Angeles Angels and started his major league career. He has yet to win a World Series.

But the 27-year-old's portrayal of Otani is goosebump-inducingly fitting. After being named to Japan's World Baseball Classic (WBC) team and predicted to be the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP), he actually led Japan to the WBC title in 2023 and won the tournament MVP. He was also unanimously voted the American League MVP in 2021, making him the best player in the game.

For the WBC, it was a year or two behind schedule, but considering the tournament was held for the first time in six years due to the pandemic, it was almost exactly on target. At the time, Fox Sports in the United States reported that "Ohtani's hard work paid off as he became the WBC MVP, virtually realizing what he had predicted in high school."

Now that he's accomplished his big goal of getting married, all that's left for Ohtani is to win a WS. He 바카라사이트 signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers this season, the largest in world sports history. He said at his signing ceremony that winning was the biggest factor in choosing the team, and he's thirsty for the World Series.

Meanwhile, there is no information about Otani's new partner other than his nationality. Ohtani is expected to comment on the matter on March 1. "I want to live a peaceful life, including marriage and children, and I think having a peaceful heart is the best thing of all," he said in an interview last year.

DK catches Brion in streak, extends winning streak to four

It was a matchup between two teams that were victims of the DDoS attack: DePlus Kia (DK), who were in the middle of the delay, and Brion, who had to return to their lodgings after nearly eight hours of waiting. DK extended their winning streak to four games, putting the brakes on Brion's bid for a third straight victory.

DK defeated Brion 2-0 in the second round of the LOL Champions Korea (LCK) Spring 2024 on Monday afternoon at the LCK Arena in Jongno, Seoul, thanks to the performances of "Showmaker" Heo "Showmaker" Heo-soo, "Aiming" Kim "Aiming" Haram, and "Kinggen" Hwang "Kinggen" Sung-hoon, who became the 14th player in the LCK to reach 500 career wins.

DK's four-game winning streak was extended to six wins (5 L, +3 G) and a half-game lead over fourth-place KT (6 L, +4 G). Brion, on the other hand, saw their winning streak come to a halt at '2' and suffered their ninth loss of the season (2WG, -15).

DK dominated the first set perfectly. With Arox-Maokai-Azir-Kalista-Renata Glass, DK dominated the bot lane against Brion, who opted for Jax and Hway as sniper picks, setting the stage for the snowball.

Once the growth gap between the two teams became clear, Heo "Showmaker" Soo-soo, who once again played a tanky Azir with Exploit Azir, took the full brunt of the opponent's onslaught in the objective duel, helping DK to a big win. With not only a dragon but also an ace in play, DK rode the momentum and naturally continued the flow to Baron Burst.

Brion players rushed in to stop DK's Nasher Baron hunt, but the Baron buffed DK extended the global gold gap to 10,000 with two engagements and wrapped up the first set with an 11-0 run at 28:15.

Set two saw Hwang "KingGen" Seong-hoon, the first top laner in the league, take out his top Smolder 스포츠토토 and shake up Brion from the ban pick stage. The game was relatively tense until the growth of the Smolder, but as the stack grew stronger and stronger, DK's power overwhelmed Brion.

Eventually, DK gained the upper hand in the one-hit compositions and, just like in the first game, quickly widened the gap, effectively sealing the game. With the Baron buff, the gold gap exceeded 10,000, and the game came to a close at 32-minutes as Brion's champions fell helplessly to the raging tide of DK champions.

Chelsea '143 billion' FW actually wanted to join Arsenal

Chelsea FC striker Mikhail Mudrikh was reportedly desperate to move to Arsenal FC in the first place. 

"Mudrikh broke down in tears on his way to the airport after his move to Arsenal fell through and called the club to ask them to do something about it," The Athletic reported on Sept. 29 (ET). 

Mudrikh is a Ukrainian winger. He began playing soccer in 2010 with Ukrainian club FC Metallist Kharkiv before moving to FC Dnipro's youth team in 2014, where he played for two seasons. In 2016, Mudryk joined FC Shakhtar Donetsk, the top-flight club in Shakhtar.

After playing for the U-21 team, Mudryk made his first-team debut in October 2018 in a Ukrainian Cup match against FC Olympique Donetsk. In February 2019, he went on loan to FC Arsenalkiiv to gain experience. In the 2019-20 season, he played in three Ukrainian Premier League matches, winning one. 

In the summer of 2020, Mudryk moved to Dessna Chernivtsi on loan. In his time with Chernivtsi, Mudrikh played 10 league games and one cup competition. He returned to Shakhtar in January 2021 and showed promise in the second half of the season, appearing in three league games. 

In the 2021-22 season, Mudrique started the season in the Shakhtar first team. After a strong pre-season, Mudrikh was favored by the coach and established himself in the rotation. In September 2021, he scored his first goal in three years in a league match against FC Mariupol, which also marked his UEFA Champions League debut.

During the 2021-22 season, Mudrikh signed a new contract with Shakhtar. The second half of the 토토 season saw the league end prematurely due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but Mudrikh's talent attracted interest from big European clubs. 

Last season, Mudrikh was an integral part of Shakhtar's defense throughout the first half of the season. He scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 18 games, reaching his full potential. This performance earned him a move to the English Premier League in the winter transfer window of the 2022-23 season, where he joined Chelsea.

However, Mourinho's form at Chelsea has been disappointing. Last season, Mourinho only managed two assists in 17 games for the Blues, making him one of the club's worst signings ever. This season, Mourinho is doing better than last season. He has six goals and four assists in 27 games. 

According to The Athletic, Moudry was desperate for a move to Arsenal. In fact, he almost joined Arsenal. He was Arsenal's top target in the winter transfer window last season. The Gunners were reluctant to spend big money and were set to pay around £80 million. 

But suddenly, Chelsea came into the picture. Chelsea paid a whopping £85 million for Moudrique. He was headed to North London to join Arsenal, but instead, he arrived at Stamford Bridge in blue. 

For Arsenal, it was a good thing. After missing out on Moudry, Arsenal signed Leandro Trosar. In 22 Premier League appearances this season, he's scored seven goals and provided two assists, filling the role of backup to Xhaka. He cost just over a third of the transfer fee, 24 million euros ($34.7 million).

'Strong will' Lee Ki-Jae already back in team training

The Klinsmanns have suffered a series of injuries, but the existing ones are recovering quickly.

The round of 16 match between South Korea and Saudi Arabia at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 2023 Asian Cup will take place at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on June 30 at 7 p.m. local time. South Korea advanced to the Round of 16 by finishing second in Group E with one win and two draws.

On Aug. 28, the training cycle changed. In the group stage, the team trained around 10 a.m. for their 2:30 p.m. match. From the round of 16 onwards, however, training was moved to 4 p.m. because of the 7 p.m. kickoff.

There were also injuries ahead of the match against Saudi Arabia. Veteran winger Moon Sun-min was unable to participate in training due to a right hamstring injury sustained during training on July 27. According to the national team officials, Moon is recovering from the injury at home and is not expected to play in the round of 16.

On the other hand, Lee Ki-je, who missed the final group game due to a hamstring injury, returned to team training on the same day. A day earlier, Lee trained individually instead of with the group. During the 15-minute open training session, Lee was seen performing movements without difficulty.

Hwang Hee-chan and Kim Jin-soo are also back from injury. Both players were injured early in the tournament and missed the first and second group games. They made their comebacks in the second half of the third match against Malaysia, and are now said to be in good enough shape to play full-time.

A representative from the national team said, "Lee Ki-jae had a strong will to play even if he couldn't do all the training. Hwang Hee-chan and Kim Jin-soo also thought about playing full-time from the quarterfinals, but the treatment went well and they recovered quickly through the players' efforts, so they 사설토토 will be at the starting level, if not full-time, against Saudi Arabia."

The mood of the squad has been rising ahead of the match against Saudi Arabia. The players were in good spirits on the training field. Oh Hyun-gyu also shared the current mood before training, saying, "All of our players are working together as a team, and we are preparing for the Saudi Arabia match with the idea that it is a final match, so we are preparing well from training to external parts."

Lack of finishing…Shin's Indonesia lose 0-4 to Australia

After guiding Indonesia to their first ever Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup round of 16 appearance, head coach Shin Tae-yong was brought to his knees by 'Kangaroo Soccer' Australia. The 'Davidians' dominated the early stages of the first half, but a lack of decisiveness in front of goal proved fatal. An unfortunate own goal added to their disappointment, and they lost momentum in the second half.

Shin Tae-yong's Indonesia (147th in the FIFA rankings) lost 0-4 in the round of 16 of the Asian Cup against Australia (25th) at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Monday (Aug. 28).

The match was billed as a David and Goliath affair. But it was Indonesia who took the early lead. From the start of the first half, they pressed hard and threatened the Australian goal with a series of shots on goal, which caused the Aussies to panic under Shin Tae-yong, known as the 'Tactician'.

But a missed opportunity early in the first half boomeranged.

Australia took the lead in the 12th minute when Jackson Irwin's cross was deflected off the foot of Indonesian defender Elkan Bagot and rattled the net. It was a crucial goal that set the tone for what could have been a close game.

After regrouping, Indonesia tried to make amends with some excellent passing play, but their shots went wide of the target.

It was Australia's turn to come from behind. In the 45th minute, Martin Boyle rattled the net again with a diving header.

The second half was no different. With a comfortable lead, Australia took it easy. Indonesia were on the front foot in the first half, but were unable to capitalize in the second half.

In the meantime, Australia sealed the game with back-to-back goals from Craig Goodwin and Harry Souta in the 44th minute of the second half and the first minute of extra time to secure a four-goal victory.

Regardless of the result, Shin made history at the tournament. It had been 17 years since Indonesia had reached the knockout stages of the Asian Cup since 2007.

Indonesia's group stage journey was even more remarkable. They suffered a 1-3 defeat against Iraq in their first match, but bounced back with a 1-0 win against Vietnam to secure three points early on. In their final match against Japan, they lost 1-3, but still managed to qualify for the round of 16 as a wild card. It was the best result in Indonesia's history.

Indonesia hoped to pull off an upset against Australia, but a lack of finishing ultimately cost them. In the first 바카라사이트 half alone, Indonesia recorded five shots on goal to Australia's one, but were unable to capitalize on any of them. After starting the second half with the lead, they failed to register a single shot on target.

Australia, who advanced to the quarterfinals based on today's result, will face the winner of Korea-Saudi Arabia.

Wolves, missing Hwang, beat West Brom 2-0 to reach FA Cup last 16

English professional soccer Premier League club Wolverhampton, which sent Hwang "Bull" Hee-Chan to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, has advanced to the round of 16 in the English Football Association (FA) Cup after winning the "Black Country Derby" against Championship (2) side West Bromwich Albion.

Goals from Pedro Neto and Mateusz Cunha gave Wolverhampton a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the round of 32 of the 2023-2024 FA Cup at The Hawthorns in West Bromwich, England, on Monday (Aug. 28).

With a gaping hole in their forward line due to the departure of their top scorer this season, Hwang Hee-chan (10 league goals - 1 league cup goal), to the South Korean national team for the Asian Cup, Wolverhampton scored a goal in each half against fifth-placed West Bromwich to book their place in the last 16.

The game was marred by a disturbance in the stands with 12 minutes to go in the second half that resulted in a 38-minute stoppage as players were removed from the field and police were called in to maintain order.

Wolverhampton and West Brom are both based in the West Midlands region of England, and the game between the two clubs is known as the Black Country Derby.

The derby's name comes from the soot and blackness that covered the city during the Industrial Revolution.

Wolverhampton opened the scoring in the 38th minute on the counter-attack when Pedro Neto, after receiving a pass from Matt Doherty, dribbled down the right flank on his own before beating two defenders and firing a left-footed shot into the net from the front of the penalty area.

With the score 1-0 at the break, Wolverhampton sealed the win in the 33rd minute when Mateusz Cunha, assisted by Maximilian Kilman, scored with a right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area.

Immediately after Cunha's goal, home fans broke out in the stands, and police were called in to maintain order.

The referee evacuated the 안전놀이터 players from the pitch, while West Brom players struggled to evacuate their families who were watching the game from the stands.

The game was eventually resumed after a 38-minute delay and ended in a 2-0 win for Wolverhampton.

Out of the Round of 16, Shin Tae-yong

After making history at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 2023 Asian Cup, Indonesia head coach Shin Tae-yong has expressed his desire to face South Korea next.

Shin's men fell to Australia 0-4 in their Asian Cup Round of 16 match at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on Monday (June 28).

Indonesia's quest to become the first team to advance past the group stage at the Asian Cup came to a halt in the round of 16.

After the game, Coach Shin Tae-yong said, "First of all, congratulations to Australia. We learned a lot from Australia's sincere approach to the game, and I think we played the best out of the four games we played in this tournament." "We didn't lose in terms of content, but we were unlucky to concede the first goal through an own goal," he said.

"We didn't fall behind in terms of content. The players did a good job of implementing what the coach told them," Shin said.

He continued, "We were inexperienced compared to the Australians. If we had more experience, we would have been able to play a more equal match," he said.

On the day, Indonesia dominated the game with strong forward pressure and organic play to gain possession before conceding an own goal in the 12th minute. However, they lacked decisiveness and eventually conceded.

"Soccer is about trying to win," said Shin, "and I thought that if we pressed forward, we would have chances. But the players were inexperienced. Australia will take advantage of their experience against Indonesia and play a better game."

If Indonesia had beaten Australia, they could have faced South Korea in the quarterfinals. "We want to play Korea in the quarterfinals," head coach Shin Tae-yong said at the press conference before the round of 16.

"I think it was a dream to play Korea in the quarterfinals," Shin said, "The players lacked finishing. As we gain more experience, there will come a day when we will face Korea. We were not good enough this time, but we want to face Korea next time we get the chance."

"All three teams were strong, and we learned a lot from each of them because they have different characteristics," said Shin, who faced favorites such as Japan, Iraq, and Australia in the tournament. "In addition to the three teams, Korea and Iran are also good teams, so I think they will compete for the title," he said.

In conclusion, Shin said, "The Indonesian Football Federation has been helping us a lot. I am grateful," he said, adding, "The Indonesian league needs to be stronger for the team to develop. The national team can only be strong if the league 메이저사이트 changes. With the 2026 North and Central American World Cup qualifiers underway, we will now focus on qualifying for the final round of the World Cup," he said, expressing his gratitude to the association and his future aspirations.

Real Madrid consider selling Mendy in January transfer window

Real Madrid are considering the sale of fullback Per Mendy, 28, in the winter transfer window next January.

Spanish outlet 'Getfootballnews' reported on January 3 (KST), "Real Madrid are looking to sell full-back Ferdinand Mendy in the upcoming January transfer window. Mendy is happy at his current club and does not want to leave, but Real are actively looking for an attractive offer to convince him to stay."

Mendy is contracted to Real until 2025. However, the club is not considering him in its plans for next season and is looking for offers from several clubs to sell him quickly.

According to the outlet, Real are looking to offload Mendy and target Bayern Munich's Alfonso Davies, 23, in his place. Real have already added depth at left-back this summer with the signing of Fran Garcia, 24. However, Real want to get even better and are looking to bring in Davies, just as they did with David Alaba (31) in the past.

Mendy started his career at Le Havre in France, before moving on to Olympique Lyonnais and joining Real in 2019. A left-back, Mendy's physicality and quick feet make him an excellent defender in contested situations with opposing attackers. Mendy is a full-back who uses his left foot, but he can also use his right foot at will, which makes him a bi-footed player with good crossing and passing ability.

To date, Mendy has made 140 appearances for Real and has contributed five goals and 10 assists 스포츠토토 to the team. Mendy has missed several games since last season due to frequent injuries and was substituted in the recent El Clasico against Barcelona.

Mendy has received offers from clubs in the Saudi Arabian Professional League in the summer transfer window, but he is not yet in favor of leaving Europe.

Albano on 'devastating five-game winning streak': "It's too soon to tell"

Lee Sun Albano (27, 185 cm), who was in foul trouble with four fouls, stayed in the game and sealed the victory.

Wonju DB continued its winning streak with a 94-79 victory over Daegu KOGAS in the 2023-2024 regular season at Daegu Gymnasium on Wednesday.

Albano, who has consistently scored at least 15 points in recent games, also started the game and finished with 18 points, three rebounds, and five assists. Albano said, "I'm happy to get the win, but the transition from the third quarter to the fourth wasn't smooth. We had some things that made it difficult for us, like technical fouls and giving them the ball," said Albano after the win.

After finishing the third quarter with a 10-point lead (71-61), DB closed the gap to five points (73-78) in the fourth quarter. "We had Anthony Moss in the lineup for rebounds, so we had to focus on the little energy battles, physicality, and defense," said Albano. "This game taught us how to protect our lead even when we're letting them get away. It was a good experience for the team, but I hope we don't have to play like this again."

When asked about his chances of winning the title after opening with five straight wins, Albano said, "I don't want to jump to conclusions. Last season we had a good first round, but we didn't have a good second round. I don't want to talk about winning already," he said. "We still have a lot to learn and change. We need to learn more and change a lot of things. If we do our best in every game and get good results, good things will follow."

Albano, who is playing his second season in the KBL this year, said, "Last season I played a lot of minutes, almost every game except one, and the difference 토토 between that and last season is the experience and the good chemistry with the new players."

"The biggest difference is being able to play with Dedrick Lawson," Albano continued. He makes it easy for us to play basketball. He's got the smarts to know when to press on defense and when to press on offense," he said, citing the addition of Lawson as the biggest difference.
