There are good days and disappointing days

Son Heung-min has some disappointing days.

Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-4 to Newcastle United in the 33rd round of the 2023-24 English Premier League held at St. James' Park in England on the 13th. It was as if they were re-watching the 1-6 disaster that occurred in the away match at Newcastle last season.

Son started as a front-line striker on the day, and played for about 58 minutes before stepping down as a substitute. Naturally, he has decided to postpone his 10-10 challenge for three consecutive seasons.

Overall, it was Son who showed disappointing performance. Newcastle's defense thoroughly responded to Son. Not only did Son not record a single shot, but he also showed his ball being taken away right before his two runs lost. He clearly looked different from usual.

Football London, a British media outlet, said after the match between the two teams, "Son lost possession and lost two goals. It's a bad day for Son." The media gave Son three points, the lowest score for Tottenham.

Tottenham is currently in a fierce competition for fourth place with Aston Villa. Tottenham, which has the same point as 60 points, has played one less game. Although this is an advantageous situation, the defeat will make it impossible to know the direction of fourth place.

Eddie Howe, the manager of the home team Newcastle, chose 4-3-3. The frontline three-top consisted of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes. Aliot Anderson, Bruno Guimarães and Sean Longstaff stood in the midfield. The back four consisted of Dan Burn, Fabien Shea, Emile Kraft and Jacob Murphy. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Martin Dubravka.

Tottenham's coach Enze Postecoglou fought 4-2-3-1. After placing Son at the front line, Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Timo Werner were chosen for the second term. Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur were chosen for the third term. The back four consisted of Destiny Udogi, Mickey van der Ben, Christian Romero, and Pedro Grape. Guglielmo Vicario kept the goal.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Johnson broke through the right side and crossed into the box. Werner connected it with a volley shot, but failed to make a proper impact. Werner's shot went wide over the goal.

Newcastle immediately tried to fight back. Gordon quickly broke the right side and handed Barnes a lobbing pass in the box. Barnes succeeded in catching the pass, but the prisoner cleared the ball first. In the ensuing corner kick situation, Romero's header fell to Guimarães in front of the goal. Bissouma quickly cleared it and overcame the crisis.

Newcastle's threatening attack continued. Barnes attempted a cross after breaking Tottenham's defense from the left, but it was blocked by Tottenham's defense. In the ensuing situation, Son Heung-min connected to Werner with a fantastic outfront pass. Werner, who caught the ball, immediately tried to shoot, which hit Son Heung-min, who was penetrating. Son Heung-min's offside was immediately declared.

In the 17th minute, Tottenham missed a decisive chance. Madison tried to play a linked game near the left box and beat the opposing defense with body painting. Madison then connected to Werner in front of the goal, but Werner's shot missed and the opportunity was canceled.

Since then, the two teams have engaged in fierce battle in the midfield, continuing their fight against one another. Son Heung-min received a lobbing pass in the 28th minute and successfully penetrated into the back space. However, he failed to properly touch the ball and ended up in Dubravka's arms.

In the 30th minute, Newcastle scored the first goal. The main character was Isaac, a front-line striker. Gordon endured a physical fight with Udo and passed it to Isaac penetrating into the box. Isaac lightly beat Van der Ben and completed the first goal neatly.

And even before the lingering effects of the opening goal were over, Newcastle scored an extra goal. This time it was Gordon. Newcastle pressed Tottenham under great pressure, and a captive back pass headed for Gordon in the box. Gordon immediately beat Van der Ben and then fired a composed shot into Tottenham's net. Newcastle gave it a 2-0 lead at once.

Newcastle continued to drive Tottenham. This time, Burn jumped high in a corner kick and attempted a header, but the ball went high. In the ensuing situation, Vicario's kick miss led to Barnes inside the box at once. Barnes passed to Isaac, who was in a better position, and Isaac attempted to shoot, but was blocked by Tottenham's hand-to-hand defense.

Newcastle's offensive did not know how to stop. It was Isaac again this time. Isaac received a sharp lobbing pass in the box, but the touch of the ball was long and the ball was held by Vicario.

For the first time in a long time, Tottenham had a decisive chance. Vicario's goal kick headed deep into Newcastle's camp. There was poor communication between Dubravka and the defender here, and the ball was not clear. In the meantime, Bentancur rushed quickly, but Byrne succeeded in clearing the ball one step ahead. Madison's powerful shot from the ensuing situation went straight to Dubravka's head. Since then, no more points have been scored, and the first half of the two teams ended with Newcastle leading 2-0.

Tottenham faced a variable at the start of the second half. The prisoner fell suddenly. In the end, Postecoglou put in Emerson Royal instead of the prisoner.

Newcastle immediately scored an additional goal. In the sixth minute of the second half, Guimarães connected with a sharp long pass to Isaac on the front line. Isaac had a speed fight with Van der Ben and then lightly hit the net with Vicario in a one-on-one chance. Now the gap between the two teams has widened to three points. It was Tottenham in a total crisis.

In a hurry, Postecoglou prepared a number of replacements. Dejan Kulusevski, Pierre-Emile Hoivier, and Pape Sarr were prepared. However, Newcastle's sharp free-kick came in the process, and Isak attempted a header. However, this shot was slightly off the mark, and Isak missed a hat-trick.

Tottenham immediately replaced Son. Instead of Son Heung-min, Bissouma and Bentancur, they replaced Hoyvierre, Sarr and Kulusevski.

However, Newcastle's momentum never stopped. In the 17th minute, Anderson shook Tottenham's defense line from the left before attempting a powerful shot. Vicario saved the shot.

Tottenham calmly developed the attack again. But the result didn't come out. Newcastle's defense blocked him, so he couldn't find space. He couldn't even record a proper shot. Rather, Newcastle's strong pressure bothered Tottenham.

In the 35th minute, Newcastle won a corner. Tottenham cleared the cross well, but the ball was connected to Kraft at the back. Kraft immediately tried to shoot a superb shot, which hit Tottenham's net. 토토사이트 순위

In the 40th minute, Gordon, who penetrated into the box momentarily, had a one-on-one chance. However, Van der Ben touched the ball just before the shot and overcame the crisis.

Then, in the 42nd minute, Newcastle eventually scored the fourth goal. It was Cher, the main character. Cher leapt high from Gordon's corner and attempted a powerful header shot. This shot was sucked into Tottenham's goal. Newcastle now have a 4-0 lead.

No more points were scored after that, and Tottenham ended up losing 0-4.

Ahn Hyun-beom, who won his first match in Jeonbuk

"I said if I get hurt this time, I'll just retire."

Jeonbuk beat Gwangju 2-1 in the seventh round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 13th.

It was the long-awaited first win of this season. Jeonbuk beat Pohang in the round of 16 teams at the AFC Champions League (ACL) in February, but had only three draws and three losses in the K-League. However, Coach Petrescu also gave up the baton after the match against Jeju Island.

Jeonbuk, which had been reeling, secured its first win in seven games by catching Gwangju at its home ground. It jumped to ninth place with six points, and successfully eliminated the team. At the same time, it continued its upbeat record by winning 10 consecutive games against Gwangju's Jeonju City.

Ahn Hyun-bum, who returned after a long absence, also contributed. He had been out of the match due to calf injury after the first leg of the quarterfinals at the AFC Champions League against Ulsan on Saturday. In this match, Ahn was substituted in the 20th minute of the second half and played for about 30 minutes until the extra time.

After the match, Ahn asked back, "How long did I rest?" and said, "I think I took about five weeks off. I couldn't come back because my calf was torn about 4 centimeters for about a month. Even though my team was resting because there was no win, I still felt a sense of nervousness," he said. "Dan Petrescu kept on asking when I would come back, but that didn't work out. My calf didn't recover well. It came back in a hurry and then it came back again. In fact, I exercised again about two weeks ago, and it was torn again."

"That's why it took so long," Ahn said. In fact, we prepared for today's game just for three days. Today marks the third day of training with the team. So Coach Park Won-jae was also very worried. He said he would not let me run because he was afraid of getting hurt again, and he was very considerate of me. So I eased the pressure by saying, "If I get hurt this time, I will just retire."

It was a surprising comeback for Ahn as well. "Honestly, I thought it wouldn't work. Actually, it doesn't make sense to play after taking a month off and playing in three days. When (Moon) was preparing to replace him, he also played as a joker a lot, but he said the mind, not the body, is important. I told him not to worry about his physical difficulties," he said. "When I ran again, he jumped. I think those tips worked well. Anyway, I joined the team and won the game, so I feel great. The result was an important period no matter what."

On the day, Ahn played in left wingers and left wingers, not in his position. "I just played defense. I had one chance, but it was my first time as a left winger. I just played hard," he said. "I don't know exactly what my position is. When I train, I watch about four positions. I saw a left winger for the first time again today. That's just how I am."

The six-game winless streak was also a tough one for Ahn, who was watching from outside the stadium. "I had my calf muscle torn about 4 centimeters. I was working out the previous day ahead of the away match at Suwon FC and suddenly I felt something strange about it. So I couldn't go to the away match at Suwon FC and took a rest thereafter. I returned briefly and tore it again, so I just kept working out at the gym. I tore it again while training for Team B," he said.

"Psychologically, I had a hard time. Honestly, I didn't think my team would be able to win even one game. Even if I am out, there are not many players. That's why I wanted to treat them quickly without worrying about them," Ahn said. "After playing one and two games, I felt uncomfortable when I was just lying down. I felt uncomfortable. That's why I worked harder for rehabilitation. I think I played for at least 30 minutes today thanks to that." 안전놀이터

Fortunately, Jeonbuk garnered its first win upon Ahn's return. "In fact, it seems consequential. Regardless of whether I was there or not, I felt sorry that I kept losing after I left the team. I felt sorry for my team members and fans."

Now, the next match will be an away match for FC Seoul. "Seoul also has a good squad and it is not an easy team. Still, the atmosphere of our team has changed a lot due to this one match. The captain (Kim) Jin-soo will also make a comeback. I will try to win, thinking that our team will become stronger," Ahn said, vowing to win.

Kang So-hwi, "Women’s highest volleyball player"

Kang So-hwi Korea Expressway Corporation broke the record for women's professional volleyball.

The club that caught Kang, who was considered the biggest free agent, was not his former team. The Korea Expressway Corporation announced on Wednesday that it has recruited Kang, who became the second free agent.

It is known that a number of clubs have jumped into recruitment of Kang So-hwi, Korea's top outside heater. However, Kang's choice was Korea Expressway Corporation.

On the reason why she decided to move, Kang explained, "I left the team that I had grown attached to since my debut, but I wanted to expand my volleyball experience through new challenges." "I will work with my team members to achieve V3 this upcoming season. Please support my new volleyball career at the Korea Expressway Corporation."

The total contract amount is 2.4 billion won, 800 million won per year...More than Kim Yeon-koung

This is the highest figure in women's history. The total amount amounts to 2.4 billion won 2.36 million U.S. dollars for three years from 2024 to 2027. As a result, Kang will receive 800 million won 464,950 dollars in annual pay 500 million won 464,970 dollars and 300 million won 365,950 dollars in annual pay.

It is the highest ever. The total compensation for the women's team for next season was 2.9 billion won 2,2 billion won for salary cap + 600 million won for option cap + 300 million won for victory allowance, up 100 million won from the 2022-2023 season.

The maximum annual salary that a player can receive has also increased from 775 million won 659,000 U.S. dollars to 800 million won 89,000 dollars. Kang successfully transferred to the team by filling all of them.

Previously, the women's top payers were Kim Yeon-koung Volleyball Empress, Clutch Park, and Park Jeong-ah Pepper Savings Bank. When she renewed her contract with Heungkuk Life Insurance last season, she signed a one-year contract worth 775 million won approx. In the same year, Park also signed Pepper for a three-year contract worth 2.35 billion won approx.

A different choice than the first FA that was 'residued'...Why did you decide to transfer?

It was truly a mega hit. Kang became the second free agent after the end of this season. He became the first free agent after the 2020-2021 season, and joined hands with his former team GS Caltex ahead of the 2021-2022 season.

In fact, Kang had already hinted at a move during the season. After the match against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea in the second round held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on November 30, last year, Kang said, "I chose GS without hesitation for the first time. Now it's my second FA. I think I have to think about many things. I feel like I'm complacent when I'm staying at one place. I think I have to think about many things."

Later, when controversy arose that "the season is in full swing, did you decide to move?" Kang So-hwi explained through SNS, saying, "I'm sorry for making a misunderstanding by making a wrong choice of words." "I said this with the thought of not being satisfied with my skills and wanting to develop it, so I also want to experience overseas leagues if I have a chance," he explained.

It was a disappointing performance at the end of the season…What does he look like on the new team?

How did Kang perform? In 35 games during the 2023-2024 season, Kang ranked 12th in scoring 444, 10th in attack success rate 39.30 percent, seventh in defense 5.703 per set, eighth in receiving 37.02 and ninth in Diggs 3.297 per set, showing good performance in offense and defense.

Kang has been serving as the main scorer of her team, scoring 95 points in the first round, 86 points in the second round, 83 points in the third round, and 93 points in the fourth round. Notably, when she finished the second round, she was the only Korean player to rank in the top 10 in scoring along with Kim Yeon-koung. During this period, her attack success rate was 42 percent and her receiving efficiency was 39 percent.

However, his momentum drastically declined after the fifth round. He only had 56 points in the fifth round and 31 points in the sixth round. The success rate of attacks also declined. The success rate of attacks in the fifth round stood at 30.69 percent, while that rate stood at 29.64 percent in the sixth round.

Another reason was poor physical stamina. Even before the opening of this season, he participated in many international competitions as a member of the national team, including the Hangzhou Asian Games, and most of them played as a starting member.

Kang has expressed his ambition to become a better player during the season. "I feel confident. I want to become a player who scores no matter what when the ball comes up."

Kang So-hwi, who chose a new challenge rather than being complacent with her former team, is drawing keen attention from fans to see if she will develop into a player worthy of the highest amount in women's volleyball history.

Grealish Heard On Stadium From Guardiola Defends

Manchester City Jack Grealish has spoken about Pep Guardiola.

"Grealish has opened up about his relationship with Guardiola."

Recently, opinions on Guardiola's actions have drawn attention. Manchester City met Arsenal in the 30th round of the 2023/24 English Premier League at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on Tuesday and won the match 0-0.

After the game, Guardiola talked with Jack Grealish, who played as substitute. It was presumed to be tactical, but the mood was not good. Grealish also looked dark.

Football experts who witnessed this criticized Guardiola's actions. It was an opinion that he talked with the player in a place that was too public.

Ian Ladyman, editor-in-chief of the British media Daily Mail, claimed, "Guardiola seemed to openly admonish players when they left the stadium."

"Guardiola spoke to Grealish in front of 40,000 or 50,000 spectators and people watching TV. I really don't like it. It's unnecessary."

"Grealish has had a terrible season. He might not be able to play at Euro 2024 because of his condition and injury, and there he is being publicly criticized by the coach. While Guardiola was doing that, Grealish looked heartbroken," he said.

"Bein Sports" anchor Richard Keith also expressed his discontent. He said, "Leave it to the locker room. Isn't it all because of the camera? It's so annoying. Go down the tunnel. You shouldn't be in the stadium. Now you have to go tell the players what you did wrong."

Grealish himself opened his mouth. "As a coach, Lionel Messi is the only player that can do what he wants," Grealish said. "Guardiola is amazing. He has such a good heart."

Grealish has suffered a combination of injuries and sluggishness this season. In response, he said, "I had some tough times this season, and Guardiola has always been there for me. I owe him a lot. He is a great man and the best coach."

"Personally, it is a tough season after scoring the highest score last year. I talked to Guardiola a lot and he was so nice to me. I owe him credit. I want to repay him with my performance."

Grealish emphasized how important Guardiola thinks he is. "I talk to my teammates in the locker room every day, and I know how important I am to the team. I know how much Guardiola put me in at the end of last season," he added. 토토사이트 순위
