Shooting from a 3-1 chance? Chelsea fans are absolutely furious

This is a crime.

Raheem Sterling 29, Chelsea led his team to defeat with the worst greed.

Chelsea lost 1-2 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 24th.

Chelsea gave up the first goal to Mario Lemina in the 6th minute of the second half and allowed Matt Doherty to score an additional goal in the extra time of the second half. Christopher Nkunku scored his Chelsea debut goal just before the end of the match, but the defeat could not be prevented. Chelsea tied with Wolverhampton in 11th place by 22 points, but managed to stay in 10th place by leading in goal difference.

Again, the team had chronic decision-making issues. Chelsea had a high possession rate of 68 percent and 16 shots. The team also scored more than two goals in terms of performance expectation (xG). Strikers Nicola Jackson, Sterling and Armando Broja did not have a sharp finish and managed to score just one goal.

In particular, Sterling blew the chance to score the first goal with his worst mistake. In the 32nd minute of the first half, Wolverhampton goalkeeper Jose Saga passed to João Gomes. Sterling rushed and took it away.

There was only a goalie in front of him, and teammates Cole Palmer and Jackson were running next to him. It was a perfect opportunity for the three strikers to cut through just one goalie. If he had given the ball to the side, Palmer or Jackson could have pushed the ball into the empty goal. However, Sterling chose to finish the game himself rather than pass, and his shot was blocked by the man who ran out.

Both teams aggressively attacked from the beginning of the game, but it was not easy to score. Chelsea took the opportunity first. In the 32nd minute of the first half, Jose Saga passed to Gomes, which Sterling seized.

In the end, Chelsea, who missed the opportunity, conceded a goal in the second half and knelt down by a single goal. It is no exaggeration to say that Sterling's choice changed the game. If Chelsea had scored the first goal through Sterling's pass, it could have been Chelsea with three points.

After the match, Sterling could not avoid harsh criticism. England's The Sun gave him a four-star rating, criticizing him for "missing a chance in the 32nd minute of the first half. Gomes made a shocking mistake, but Sterling's poor finish was blocked by the goalkeeper."

The Daily Mail also pointed out that Sterling had a great chance to give Chelsea the lead. Despite having two pass options on his right, he rushed forward by himself and fired at the goalkeeper. "The moment he gave the first goal to Lemina, he must have regretted his missed opportunity." Sky Sports was also shocked, saying, "How can Chelsea not score here?" 스포츠토토

Fans were also critical of Sterling's selfish shooting. According to the Daily Mail, one fan sighed, "It's an incomprehensible worst decision. Well done so far, but it's a terrible decision," while one was stunned, "Sterling is such an absolute disgrace. Oh my god." Others were also furious, saying, "Sterling, that's a crime. You should have passed!!!!!!!" and "Shocking scene."

Leading card to fill January's SON vacancy, 24-year-old Portugal's new striker

Neither Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord) nor Serhu Girasi (Stutgart). A promising alternative has been found to fill the gap of Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham), which Tottenham is aiming for.

He is Jota (Portugal), a 24-year-old striker who plays for Saudi Arabia's Altihad.

"Son Heung-min, who has scored 11 goals in this season's EPL, is absolutely Tottenham's presence. He will play at the Asian Cup as a member of the Korean national team next month. It is a huge loss for Tottenham," he said. "Coach Postecoglou wants to bring in a versatile striker to fill Son's absence and strengthen squad depth. Jota, who had outstanding performances for Celtic, is adapting to the RT Hard and is strongly linked to Tottenham's transfer."

In the meantime, Tottenham has selected Jimenez and Girasi as the main targets for transfer. However, things have changed rapidly. Postecoglou puts defensive reinforcement ahead of strikers.

There is no Son Heung-min, but he will set up an offensive team with Hishalisson and Dejan Kluszewski. It is the core of the master plan to fill the gap between Son Heung-min.

On the other hand, the reinforcement of the defense seems essential. Mickey Van Der Pen is injured, and Christian Romero cannot come out due to disciplinary action. All of the main center back duo cannot come out.

In this situation, the versatile steering can be of great help to the Tottenham squad. Having played for the Portugal U-team by age, he can use both feet freely. He has good dribbling ability and has a consistent speed. His biggest strength is that he has a lot of activity. He is a striker, but he also has a good ability to participate in defense. 토토사이트

Jean-Claire Todibo is expected to be the top priority in Tottenham's defense.

"Tottenham Postecoglou admitted that reinforcing the center back will be the top priority in the January transfer market. Jean-Clare Todibo is the top target. The 23-year-old has played for Toulouse and Barcelona, and is a key center back for Ligue 1 side Nice," the newspaper said.

Oh Ji-young opened a Kakao Talk Conversation

Oh Ji-young, who was suspended by the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) for one year on charges of continuing to harass his team's juniors, and his contract with Pepper Savings Bank was also terminated, heralding a court battle.

Jung Min-hoe, a lawyer at the law firm Ium, Oh Ji-young's legal representative, said on the 28th, "I intend to calmly and carefully follow the process of revealing the injustice regardless of whether he or she retires or not, with future retrial and litigation procedures in mind."

The KOVO Reward and Punishment Committee said on the 27th, "It was found that Oh Ji-young had bullied her junior since June last year, and two juniors left the team. Various evidence confirmed that Oh Ji-young's human rights violations, including bullying and verbal abuse," and suspended Oh Ji-young for one year.

In response, Oh revealed the Kakao Talk conversation between Oh and the victims, saying, "Oh Ji-young and A were in a relationship where their credibility was guaranteed. They were more like sisters than seniors and juniors." Regarding victim B, he said, "We are far from B, so harassment itself is not established."

According to Oh Ji-young's side, Oh Ji-young and A chatted through Kakao Talk on October 30 last year, saying, "I miss you already" (Oh Ji-young), "Me, too. I keep thinking of good memories (A player), "I think I'm so lucky to have a friend like you" (Oh Ji-young), "Of course. We can't be like this." (A player) "I support you. This is not the end. Let's get along well together." (Oh Ji-young).

Oh Ji-young reprimanded A when non-mainstream players A and B went out in violation of bylaws on the day when the main players played away games in the same month and caused a car accident.

"According to the coach's decision, Pepper Savings Bank waits for non-mainstream players at the training site or lodging, not at the stadium," Oh Ji-young said. "A non-mainstream player who did not go to the stadium had to leave the training site during the game, and senior players asked him not to go out while the game was in progress." However, A went out and a car accident happened. Upon hearing the news of the car accident, senior players including Oh Ji-young were in conflict while asking questions to the players who caused the accident, and I understand that A and B left the team in the process."

"In October, we only warned the junior players to blame them in order to promote unity among team members and prevent conflicts, but there is no fact that we have bullied the players or blamed the junior players for no legitimate purpose or reason," he said. "If such an act becomes an object that should be criticized socially and legally, the concept of seniority, seniority, and seniority in the workplace will no longer exist in Korean society." 스포츠토토

Oh Ji-young confirmed the petitioner's claim for the first time at the first reward and punishment committee on the 23rd, Oh Ji-young said. "There was absolutely not enough time to prepare the rebuttal material and I didn't get enough opportunity to explain it," she said, requesting a retrial to the KOVO reward and punishment committee and preparing other legal actions.

Oh Ji-young plans to submit an application for retrial to KOVO on April 29. She is also expected to file a lawsuit against the club to confirm the nullification of the contract as she signed a three-year contract worth a total of 1 billion won with Pepper Savings Bank in April 2023 and has one year left until the end of the one-year suspension of her qualification.

'Candidate To Win' Liverpool's Biggest Crisis

Concerns over the absence of Mohamed Salah (31, Liverpool) are pouring in.

According to a report by the British media "Team Talk" on the 4th, Robbie Savage, a former Premier League player-turned-football expert, said on the air, "The biggest problem for Liverpool at the moment is Salah's absence."

"Liverpool has a good chance to win the title this season. However, the result may vary depending on Salah's participation in the African Cup of Nations," he said.

Liverpool is considered a strong candidate to win the title this season. With 20 Premier League matches, Liverpool is leading the league with 13 wins, six draws and one loss, earning 45 points.

It also shook off the rival teams' pursuit to some extent. Manchester City and Arsenal, who were mentioned as strong contenders, are ranking third and fourth with 40 points, respectively. 스포츠토토

Experts also highly predict Liverpool's chances of winning. "I think Liverpool will be Manchester City's most threatening rival," Savage claimed.

"Liverpool knows how to win a championship. The coach knows it, and some players know it. It's because he has won a championship," he said.

It is not without elements of anxiety. Leading striker Mohamed Salah will be away for up to a month to participate in the African Cup of Nations.

If the Egyptian national team advances to the final, it will miss three games in the league alone. The matches include Bournemouth, Chelsea and Arsenal. Among them, a victory is essential in the face-to-face match against the winning rival Arsenal.

"Salah will not be able to play in the upcoming matches against Bournemouth and Chelsea. If Egypt advances to the final, it will be difficult to play against Arsenal in February," said Savage,

"Sala's absence will be a huge loss for coach Klopp and Liverpool. Considering the scoring record so far, Sala is one of the best players in the Premier League history," he said.
