Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confessed to ‘Son Heung-min trauma’ ahead of the match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Klopp was extremely wary of Tottenham through an official press conference released on the Liverpool website on the 29th (Korean time). In particular, painful memories of being hit by Tottenham’s counterattacks several times in the past with Son Heung-min at the head seemed to come to mind.

Klopp said: “Tottenham have been the best counter-attacking team in the world in recent years. Wherever we lost the ball, they looked for Harry Kane. Then Kane found Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min and the (Liverpool) goalkeeper go for one. “We are facing an ending where situation 1. We were helplessly defeated,” he said, sticking his tongue out.

In fact, Tottenham adopted extreme defensive tactics from 2019, when former coach Mauricio Pochettino left, to the summer of 2023.메이저사이트

This is because coaches Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, who were previously appointed, preferred counterattacking soccer. We lowered the line, focused on defense, and then aimed for a counter attack. Although the results were often good, the game faced criticism that it was not fun due to the lack of leadership.

But new coach Angie Postekoglou was different. Postekoglou wanted his players to attack actively by pressuring the opponent from a high position and increasing possession. Although it is still in its early stages, it seems to have hit the nail on the head with both content and results. Tottenham is undefeated with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 6 rounds.

Klopp said: “Tottenham are now much more ownership-based. Much more based on their own ideas, creative ideas and things like that. I know Postekoglou is a top coach and he enjoys what he does.” He warned that it would not be an easy game.

According to a report by the British media ‘Mirror’, Klopp praised Postekoglou so much that his mouth ran dry.

Klopp said: “Tottenham are doing really well. I look forward to meeting Postekoglou. They were hungry for attacking football and Postekoglou delivered that clearly. They performed well despite Kane missing. They are a well-organized club. “It will be a true test for us,” he said, strengthening his resolve.

We met ‘THE KING’ Joo Se-jong, captain of Daejeon Hana Citizen (hereinafter referred to as Daejeon).

Joo Se-jong is a ‘noble’ of Daejeon. In terms of career, he is the most spectacular player in Daejeon. Director Lee Min-seong also described Joo Se-jong as “a person who was brought in with difficulty” when he came to Daejeon. Perhaps due to the effect of recruiting noble players, Daejeon succeeded in getting the promotion they had longed for last year. And they are surviving well in K-League 1 this season with better-than-expected performances. From now on, all that remains is to draw a bigger picture.

Joo Se-jong, who has continued his career with unwavering play, hopes to achieve many things in Daejeon. He is already making a huge impact on the field, but he is not satisfied with that. We want to break away from the image of Daejeon as a promoted team and elevate it to one of the representative groups in K-League 1. And we are planning to go to Asia with Daejeon. This is a ‘goal’ that will never be shaken as long as Joo Se-jong stays in Daejeon.

The goal for the Taegeuk mark remains the same. Joo Se-jong, one of the main characters in ‘that scene’ against Germany, also has the same desire for the national team. Although he may be a little older than in the past, his passion for reaching the highest level remains the same. Various conversations with Joo Se-jong on various topics can be found on the YouTube channel ‘Haebangchon Soccer Company’.

b11: What is the training like in Jeongseon?

“Jeongseon Sports Complex is good. The grass is also good. It was my first time here while playing soccer. Coach Lee Min-seong gave the players several candidates. They were Jeju, Busan, and Jeongseon, but I chose Jeongseon because the players could rest and train. “I came to Jeongseon and went rafting and meditated.”

b11: Before the interview with Joo Se-jong, I also visited Gwangju FC (hereafter Gwangju). Gwangju is really good these days, right?

“Looking at Gwangju playing recently, I really respect it! This is a team that must be respected. It’s like the players are wearing soccer shoes. They know how to move. Some say Gwangju is good because they fight hard, but if you look at it from the players’ perspective, the ‘frame’ is I think it’s working well because the players are getting results and receiving media attention while playing coach Lee Jeong-hyo’s soccer, so it seems like they’re becoming more and more confident in soccer. Gwangju feels like they’ve contracted their strength rather than just running a lot? They’re pressing hard over short distances. So it may seem like they are running a lot, but in my opinion, the opposing teams actually end up running more. If you clash with them in a power struggle, Gwangju still has stamina in the second half. From the opponent’s point of view, if you take something, they come back quickly to take it back. “It’s not easy.”메이저사이트

b11: I heard a rumor that Joo Se-jong lives in Sejong City.

“I didn’t really have any intention (laughter). My house is 20 minutes away from the Daejeon clubhouse, and I also care about my children’s education, so it ended up like this,” b11

:

“It’s the name my father gave me. It’s the world’s greatest bell. Ring the world’s bell. That’s how it feels. In fact, my family is a ‘bell holder.’ My cousins ​​and younger siblings have names like Taejong and most of them are the names of kings. The Joo family grew up together in the same neighborhood. So there was a lot of talk in the neighborhood about the children of this family using the king’s name. (Laughs)” b11:

Instead of player Joo Se-jong, how about your dad Joo Se-jong?

“A mother is someone who can’t do many things, but a father does everything? For example, my kids are obsessed with dinosaurs these days, and even when I try to buy them dinosaur toys, my wife says no. Even when my child says he wants something, my wife says, ‘This is not possible.’ “When that happens, I take him out secretly and buy him something.”

b11: You have two sons. I think there will be a lot of things we want to do together when we grow up!

“First of all, I want to become a soccer player. In fact, my wife had a clear goal in mind. How about playing both sidebacks, one at a time? My wife is very attracted to sidebacks. Sidebacks are a position that is highly involved in both attack and defense. . First of all, the eldest is left-footed. That means he is a left fullback. And the second is a right fullback. There has never been a case where brothers played fullback for the national team together. I hope it goes well like that. My wife is pushing me hard, so I will try my best to help. .”

b11: Joo Se-jong’s father is also known to be a person who really likes soccer. What kind of person were you?

“My father originally wanted to play soccer, but he couldn’t because the conditions weren’t right. That’s why he took me to the soccer field a lot since I was young. When I was young, I also did things like kendo and taekwondo. They say I showed my grit at that time. That’s why my father encouraged me. He said he made me exercise after eating. I am very grateful. Thanks to my father, I came to play soccer naturally. I still talk about soccer with my father a lot these days. My sister’s eldest son is playing soccer, and we talk a lot about his nephew. “

b11: There is also a story that my father made Joo Se-jong’s uniform with a sewing machine when he was young.

“I’ve been following my father since I was about 3 or 4 years old. I followed him when he played soccer at an early age. But when I was young, I thought my dad looked really cool wearing a uniform and playing soccer. So I said I wanted a uniform. Actually, There aren’t many sizes of uniforms for 3-4 year old children, right? So my father cut the early soccer uniform himself and used a sewing machine to make it in my size. I always wore that and played soccer. I still have that uniform hanging at home. “I have it.”

b11: Joo Se-jong’s hobby these days!

“Before I got married, I really liked building Legos. After having kids, I think my hobby is to put the kids to bed and sit alone in the living room and watch soccer or movies.”

b11: Can you name one benefactor of Joo Se-jong’s life?

“My parents are natural, and another person I think is my agent. I have been with my brother since I was in college, so we have already been together for over 10 years. The reason we can continue to work together is because it allows me to experience better and more interesting soccer. I think it’s because there was. In fact, the job of being an agent is advantageous if the player receives a higher annual salary. That way, the agent can also earn more profit. However, the agent who has been watching for 10 years really knows what level the player can rise to. I was a person who was worried about this. It’s a different story, but before I went to Japan, I had a choice about the Middle East. Normally, I would have recommended the Middle East, where I could make more money, but my brother went and learned more, and it was something I wanted to experience. “I recommended Japan because I could feel it. Even though I knew the salary was low. That’s why he was my benefactor. After meeting my agent, I was able to keep working hard, grow, and have new experiences.”

b11: What were your memories of playing in Japan?

“I spent a year and a half in Japan. However, I think the year and a half in Japan was greater than the emotions and learnings I felt over the 10 years in Korea. The audience culture was especially impressive. What I still remember is the high-ranking players. There was a day when a club and a club in the bottom tier played a match. However, the bottom tier club often plays games to gain at least one point in order to survive without being relegated. How did the bottom tier club win that day? But that game. The fans of the lower-ranked clubs who were watching were booing. Because soccer wasn’t fun. In soccer and in the professional world, performance is important, but it is also important to maintain the color that each team has. It has to be maintained consistently. That’s what I felt that day. “Not only the players, but also the fans became one with the team’s colors, and that was it. It remained a fresh memory.”

b11: Joo Se-jong won the K-League 1 and 2 championships and experienced the K-League promotion playoffs several times. Which is greater pressure, winning or surviving?

“I’m not the type of person who gets nervous. I wasn’t nervous during the first leg of the promotion play-offs last year either. But I couldn’t sleep the night before the second game. That was even though Daejeon played well in the first game and won. We were first. What should we do if we concede a goal? What should we do if we score first? What should we do when we have the ball in our hands? I couldn’t sleep at all because these thoughts kept running through my head. Looking at these things, the pressure on the promotion play-offs is clearly greater than on winning the championship. I think so.”

b11: I am now in the middle of my career. How do you think the ending should be? Do you have a dream with Daejeon?

“I haven’t thought about finishing it yet. Right now, I really like being with Daejeon, who are establishing themselves as a team. My goal is to help this team establish itself in K League 1 and also participate in the AFC Champions League. I am the main player. Even if this isn’t the case, I want to work together with the players on the team to achieve our goal.”

b11: When Joo Se-jong got injured this year, Daejeon fans held a recovery performance for Joo Se-jong.

“When I was playing with Incheon United, I cried once when I was substituted and brought out on a stretcher and the fans called my name. I just burst into tears. Actually, I rarely cry. The last time I cried while playing soccer was during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia World Cup match against Germany. It was the first time, and this was the first time since then. I was touched when the fans called my name. After the surgery, I watched the fans’ performance in the game against the Pohang Steelers on the broadcast. It touched my heart. When I saw that, I quickly came back and did it again. “Playing in front of the fans was all I could think of.”

b11: The number of spectators at Daejeon World Cup Stadium has increased significantly these days.

“It’s good to see a lot of Daejeon fans who left when I was in K-League 2 coming back. A lot of young fans are coming too. The players’ feelings have also changed. Last year, there weren’t many people who recognized me when I walked around Daejeon, but this year. “Please recognize as many people as possible, both children and adults. It feels like we’ve become closer. Even the teachers at my son’s daycare center come to watch the game. What should I say? Should I say it’s the revival of the special soccer city? I’m getting that feeling a lot.”

b11: I’m curious what kind of character Daejeon captain Joo Se-jong is.

“I don’t think it’s scary. 20-year-old (Bae) Jun-ho felt very comfortable with me, and during one-on-one training, kids like (Lim) Deok-geun deliberately call me. He tells me to come out and have a one-on-one with me (laughter). With the players. “I try to stay close. Of course, there are times when I speak sharply and strongly during tactical training or team concepts. There are many times when I get angry during games, but I am really grateful that the players follow the direction I want to go.”

b11: What was it like living with Bae Jun-ho, who went to England?

“I think Junho was introverted last year. Of course, he was good at soccer, but he was a bit lacking in trying to get close to his teammates. But this year, when he went to Thailand for training, Junho completely changed. I don’t know what happened, bro. I could see him trying to be close to them. I think he felt the need. I think we talked a lot since then. I kept telling him that Junho would really grow a lot this year. And sure enough, he did really well. He grew up well. As a senior, I’m really proud that he went to Europe. It’s amazing. (When did you tell me you were going to Stoke City?) He didn’t say anything at all. He said, “I can’t go, I can’t go,” and then suddenly he went (laughter). I told Junho this. “I remember telling him to make sure whether the team is taking you because they really want you or whether they are taking you because of your performance on the national team. He wants you to become a really good player.”

b11: A quick question! Coach Lee Min-seong’s comeback goal against Japan VS Joo Se-jong’s assist against Germany

“It’s the coach. I remember watching the game on TV with my father at the time. Coach Choi Yong-soo headed in the equalizer, and coach Seo Jeong-won finished it. I ran around the house after that goal was scored. And then coach Lee Min-seong scored the comeback goal. In , he and his father hugged each other and there was a fuss. Perhaps because of that memory, I think Coach Lee Min-seong’s goal was even better. (Still, it was an assist against the number one player in the FIFA rankings.) By the way, I definitely saw (Son) Heung-min and made a pass, but people kept saying it. I pose a question. Heung-min also spoke about it this time. Let me take this opportunity to tell you that I definitely passed after seeing Heung-min. (In that case, a video letter to Son Heung-min.) Heung-min, you finished my career well. I got a World Cup assist. I’m grateful. I hope I can lead many players and continue to show good performances for Korean soccer like I do now. Don’t get hurt always, and fighting!”

b11: Do you personally often look for assists against Germany?

“I don’t watch it back, but when the time comes, it’s shown on TV. Just once. When I’m traveling with the players, something like that comes on on the bus TV. They make fun of me so much when that scene comes on. Kids like (Seo) Youngjae are just Manuel Neuer to watch. Even before catching the catch, he was commentating, saying, ‘Joo Se-jong is coming.’ The kids are playing around a lot. It’s a little embarrassing, but I’m proud of it because it’s a scene my children will definitely see when they play soccer someday. My father recorded an assist like that in the World Cup, helping Germany “The kids will know that they won.”

b11: After the game against Germany, everyone, including Joo Se-jong, was caught on camera shedding tears.

“There was a lot of concern before the World Cup. The perception of the national team was not good. Most of the players were under a lot of stress. When we won the game against Germany and the players were gathered in a circle at the halfway line, (Cha) Du-ri said, ‘You guys did really well. He said, ‘You must now lead and change Korean soccer in the future. Using this as an opportunity, we must develop further.’ At that moment, the pressure and stress that the players had built up over the years was relieved, and everyone cried a lot. It was also sad. The game against Germany. “Because it was the last time.”

b11: What is your most memorable moment with the national team?

“When I was first called up, I didn’t know any of the players. I had never represented my age group before, so it was very difficult for me to adapt. First, I had to show myself among the existing players within two weeks to be recognized by the players and coaching staff. I think that’s all I thought about. To be recognized as a member of the national team. I trained really hard. (Lee) Cheongyong took care of me a lot. I don’t tend to talk much, but Cheongyong talked to me. “Thank you so much for giving me advice.”

b11: Do you still have a desire for the national team?

“I will pursue that goal until I retire. There are some difficulties with the new coach these days, but with Heung-min, (Kim) Min-jae, and (Hwang) In-beom, I think things will go well.” There are many players who can lead the national team. In Korea, it is a culture where the national team must perform well so that more people come to watch soccer. So, because the national team shows good performance, many fans come to see the players playing in the K-League. “I would appreciate it if you could give it to me. I will work hard in Daejeon with the goal of making the national team until the end.”

The Toronto Blue Jays changed the starting rotation order. Kikuchi Yusei (32) replaced Ryu Hyun-jin (36). It was a decision that reflected Toronto’s desperation to confirm fall baseball as soon as possible.

Toronto announced Kikuchi as the starting pitcher for the home game against the Tampa Bay Rays on the 30th (Korean time). According to the original order, it would have been Ryu Hyun-jin’s turn to appear, but Kikuchi’s appearance was moved up a day. Kikuchi will take the starting mound today after taking a four-day rest after the Tampa Bay game on the 25th.

The American ‘The Athletic’ reported this news on the 29th, saying, ‘The most important thing for Toronto is to confirm postseason advancement by October 1st at the latest,’ and said that in order to use ace Kevin Gausman in the first game of the wild card series, they must move as soon as possible in the fall. He said baseball needs to be confirmed.메이저사이트

‘To emphasize the desperation for victory, Toronto coach John Schneider changed the rotation by replacing Ryu Hyun-jin with Kikuchi as the starter on the first day of the three-game series against Tampa Bay. He explained, “The selection for October 1st has not yet been decided.” As the situation is fluid, Toronto has not yet announced its selection for the October 1-2 match against Tampa Bay. Canada’s ‘Sportsnet’ predicted that ‘Ryu Hyun-jin’s appearance will be postponed to the second game on October 1st.’

The purpose of Toronto’s decision is to quickly confirm fall baseball by putting Kikuchi, who has a slightly higher chance of winning, a day early. After undergoing Tommy John surgery and rehabilitation, Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the non-league in early August and showed his health with 3 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 3.31 in 10 games (49 innings). He pitched his poorest pitch of the season, striking out 5 runs and allowing 5 runs.

Kikuchi is having his best season since his major league debut in 2019 with 10 wins, 6 losses, and an average ERA of 3.82 in 31 games (162 ⅔ innings) this year. He struggled this year with 3 games against Tampa Bay, 1 win, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 5.40, but his career record was good with 8 games, 4 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 3.23.

Ryu Hyun-jin wasn’t bad either, with an ERA of 3.72 with no wins or losses in six games against Tampa Bay, but the Toronto coaching staff decided to hire Kikuchi. He seems to have placed more emphasis on the side with a better chance of winning, given his recent pitch and form.

With the last three games of the season remaining, Toronto is in second place in the American League wild card, leaving the postseason confirmed magic number of ‘2’. If Toronto defeats Tampa Bay on this day and the Seattle Mariners lose to the Texas Rangers, they will advance to the postseason. For Toronto, this is the best scenario.

However, if not, the burden will increase on Ryu Hyun-jin, who is likely to start on October 1st. If they don’t finish with Ryu Hyun-jin, the worst situation could happen where they end up having to use Gausman as the starter in the final game. If this happens, the wild card series will be greatly disrupted.

As the wild card competition continues until the end of the season, Toronto, which is in an advantageous position, is also considering various possibilities. I wonder what the outcome of this decision to swap the starting order of Ryu Hyun-jin and Kikuchi will be.

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to re-sign manager Eric ten Hague, 53.

“The Red Devils are planning to open talks with Mourinho over a new contract,” British soccer publication 90MIN reported on Monday (Aug. 28).

Mourinho took charge of United in July 2022. His contract expires in 2025, but according to reports, the two sides have an option to extend it for another year. He has up to three years left on his contract.

Depending on the length of Mourinho’s new deal, United could be on the verge of a long-term reign, similar to that of Alex Ferguson. Ferguson, a “legendary mastermind,” managed United from 1986 to 2013.스포츠토토

United’s hierarchy seems to be quite happy with Mourinho’s leadership. “Richard Arnold, CEO of United, and others are very happy with Mourinho. “They believe he is the right man to lead the club, despite the recent poor results and off-field issues. We also support him in the Jadon Sancho situation.”

Mourinho was recognized for his leadership last season when he guided United to a third-place finish in the league. The team qualified for the Champions League. They also won the Carabao Cup, their first trophy in six years.

However, they need to break out of their slump this season. The Red Devils have three wins, three defeats, nine points and sit ninth in the league. The wins have been hard-fought rather than dominant performances, and they’ve come against teams in contention for the title, including Tottenham and Arsenal.

The Red Devils also struggled against 19th-ranked Burnley in the sixth round of the league, where they were outshot 11-12. The Red Devils won the game thanks to a late goal from captain Bruno Fernandes, but there were plenty of issues with their performance.

Hwang Sun-hong’s Asian Games men’s football team defeated Kyrgyzstan 5-1 in the men’s football round of 16 at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games on Sunday at the Jinhua Sports Center in Zhejiang, China. The victory was not easy. Back-to-back goals from Baek Seung-ho and Jung Woo-young in the 11th and 12th minutes of the first half gave Korea the lead, but they conceded their first goal of the tournament in the 28th minute. They came back with three goals in the second half to secure the multi-goal victory.

Hwang took off Park Jae-yong and Jung Ho-yeon for Hong Hyun-seok and Cho Young-wook in the second half, and made another change in the 15th minute with Ko Young-joon replacing Lee Kang-in. The offense definitely came alive after that. At times, Cho played like an attacking midfielder, dropping down from the front line. He struggled to win possession, but his link-up play and off-the-ball movement stood out. He also showed his finishing ability.메이저사이트

The same goes for Ko Young-joon. On this day, Ko played more like a flanker. He specializes in stripping his opponents with a quick move. As soon as he came on, he created space with short passes. He was able to find the right space and move into it, becoming the lubricant of the offense. As a result, three more goals were scored after his introduction.

In the 30th minute of the second half, the ball was played in from inside the penalty box, and this time, midfielder Hong Hyun-seok ran in to finish. Hwangsun Hongho’s strength is in the second line. Long striker Park Jae-yong, who started the game, did not do much and was substituted after playing only 45 minutes.

Aside from the two penalty kicks, the goals were scored by Hong Hyun-seok, Cho Young-wook, and Jung Woo-young. Before the tournament, Hwang Sun-hong was considered the weakest striker in history. Park Jae-yong and Ahn Jae-joon were called up, but Cho Young-wook was the de facto frontline striker. The movement and coordination of the second line also shines. Hwang is deploying Ahn Jae-jun as a right flanker rather than up front. The idea is to take advantage of Ahn’s ability to press and defend. In addition, he will need to utilize another flanker, Song Min-kyu, who is getting more playing time after recovering from injury.

The real battle is just ahead. As the tournament progresses, every goal counts. This could be a one-goal game. If the front line fails to deliver, the aggressiveness and decisiveness of the second stringers could be the difference between Hwangsun and Hongo’s fate.

LG Twins pitcher Lee Jung-yong had his worst start since making the switch.

It was his worst outing since switching to the starting rotation.

Lee took the mound for the final game of the regular season against the Samsung Lions of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Monday, giving up seven runs on nine hits and no walks in 3 1/3 innings for his second loss of the season. After giving up the most runs in a single game this season, Lee played the fewest innings of his career in the second half.

The game didn’t go the way he wanted from the start. After giving up two runs in the first inning, Lee surrendered seven runs in the top of the fourth. He didn’t give up a single home run in the process, but he did have four long balls of two or more. He struggled against the aggressive approach of the Samsung bats, and eventually had to leave the mound after less than four innings.토토사이트

In his previous game, on the 22nd against the Jamsil NC Dinos, he gave up four runs on five hits in five innings with three walks and three strikeouts, but he was a little shaky compared to his previous start. It was only the second time this season that he gave up more than four runs in two consecutive games, from July 9 against the Busan Lotte (6 runs, 5 earned) to July 27 against the Suwon KT (4 runs). To that extent, Lee has pitched consistently well since August.

This, coupled with the addition of Choi Won-tae, who was clearly struggling with his starting pitching until the end of July, gave LG momentum and allowed them to solidify their dominance. In fact, having more options has allowed LG to utilize better pitchers.

Looking ahead to the Korean Series, LG is planning a “short-term strategy” that is tailored to the game. Part of that is adjusting the starting rotation.

Since the Korean Series doesn’t require the use of a fifth starter, LG is looking for an “optimal four-man rotation. Assuming foreign pitcher Adam Plutko returns from injury, Casey Kelly, Plutko, and Lim Chan-kyu are more or less set in stone, with Choi Won-tae and Lee Jung-yong competing for the other spot.

While Lee has been on a downward spiral, Choi Won-tae, who has been struggling since August, has had time to rebuild after being designated for assignment on Nov. 11 and earned his first win in a long time on Nov. 24 against Hanwha in Jamsil, allowing one run on six hits (one homer) in seven innings while striking out eight and walking one.

Before the game on the 28th, LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop said, “Choi Won-tae went down to the second team and adjusted his arm height a bit. He’s still missing a bit, but he’s been practicing his changeup a lot.” “Either Choi Won-tae or Lee Jung-yong will probably go to the middle. Right now, I’m thinking of using Lee Jung-yong (in the bullpen) because he has experience in the middle. Choi Won-tae has a lot of postseason starting experience. You can’t ignore that. I’m going to see how he continues to start, and I’m going to listen to the coaches and the club before I decide (who to start). Starting is the most important thing,” he said.

For Lee to earn a starting spot in fall ball, he’ll have to prove that he can go the distance and pitch long innings reliably. Otherwise, the manager’s mind will be more inclined toward Choi Won-tae. It will be interesting to see how the competition plays out for the rest of the season.

Manchester City has been knocked out of the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) by Newcastle, suffering its first defeat of the season.

Manchester City suffered a 0-1 defeat against Newcastle in the third round of the 2023/24 Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England, on Monday (Aug. 28). The loss means City will not be able to lift the trophy.

Pep Guardiola also opted to rotate his squad, as City needed to rest some players after juggling league and UEFA Champions League commitments.

City started with Stephan Ortega in goal, while the back four was made up of Josuco Gvardiol, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, and Rico Ruiz. Matteo Kovacic, Calvin Phillips, and Sergio Gomes started in the midfield, while Elling Holland was rested in favor of Jack Grealish, Julian Alvarez, and prospect Oscar Babb. In addition to Holland, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, and Jubeng Dias were left out of the starting lineup.

Newcastle also opted to rotate. Nick Pope started in goal, with Valentino Livramento, Jamaal Russelles, Paul Dummett, and Matt Targett in the back four. Lewis Miley, Sandro Tonali, and Lewis Hall started in the midfield, while Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isaacs, and Joel Lingleton attacked the City goal.

Despite being without a number of first-team players, City pushed forward early in the first half. In the 18th minute, Babb played a crucial pass through the defense to Alvarez, who finished with a shot that was saved by Pope’s toe. In the 23rd minute, Grillisi broke through the defense, but Dummett did well to block his shot.

Alvarez also missed another chance. In the 29th minute, Kovacic’s loose ball was played back to Alvarez by Bobb, who tried his luck at the far post from the left side of the penalty area, only to see his shot go over the bar instead of into the net.

Set pieces also threatened Newcastle, and in the 33rd minute, City won a corner and Gervinho headed in a cross that was cleared off the line by the defense. The first half ended 0-0 with neither team able to find the back of the net despite the City offense.

In the second half, Newcastle capitalized on their offensive chances after being outplayed by City. Newcastle took the lead eight minutes into the second half when Joelington received a pass from Jacob Murphy just outside the penalty box arc, and he drove the ball through three City defenders to reach deep inside the right side of the penalty box. With a poor shooting angle, Joelington sent a low, quick cross to the front of the box, where Isaacs, positioned at the far post, collected and slotted it home for the 1-0 lead.

After conceding, City pushed to catch up. In the 23rd minute, they brought on Jeremy Dockoo and Mateusz Núñez to add strength to the midfield and forward line. City had their best chance of the game in the 30th minute when Grealish tried his luck with a sharp mid-range shot on goal, only to be denied by Pope.메이저사이트

Then, in the 40th minute, Doku’s steady dribbling allowed him to beat two defenders before delivering a precise through ball into the box, but he was caught by the quick-thinking Pope, and in the 45th minute, Lewis had to swallow his disappointment when his shot narrowly missed the side netting after receiving a pass at the front of the penalty box arc following a breakaway from Doku.

In the end, City were unable to find the back of the net until late stoppage time, and the game ended in a 1-0 victory for Newcastle.

City were considered one of the favorites after winning the Carabao Cup four times in a row from 2017/18 to 2020/21, but their run to the final ended in the third round after a 0-2 loss to Southampton in the last four in 2022/23.

Meanwhile, in the day’s other Carabao Cup matches, other Premier League teams besides City were largely victorious and advanced to the next round.

Dominic Solanke and Joe Rodwell scored early in the second half to give Bournemouth a comfortable 2-0 win over Stoke City, with Bae Joon-ho starting, while Everton also advanced to the fourth round with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa. Carlos Vinicius and Alex Iwobi opened the scoring for Fulham in a 2-1 win over Norwich City, with Hwang Ui-jo starting. Hwang Ui-jo and Bae Jun-ho did not record an offensive point.

Arsenal, playing mostly second-teamers, held on to Nelson’s early first-half goal to earn a win over Brentford, who played mostly first-teamers.

The most surprising win came from Chelsea. The Blues were expected to lose against third-place Brighton given their recent poor form, but a sixth-minute goal from Nicola Jackson and effective saves from Kaoru Mitoma and Juan Pedro secured their place in the next round of the League Cup. Liverpool also booked their place in the fourth round with a 3-1 win over Leicester City, with goals from Cody Hackford, Dominik Sobosler and Diogo Jota.

Coach Huang Sunhong is determined to get past China’s quarterfinal opponent.

Hwang Sun-hong’s U-24 national team won 5-1 against Kyrgyzstan in the round of 16 at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games on Sunday at the Jinhua Sports Center Stadium.

South Korea lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lee Kwang-yeon in goal and Seol Young-woo, Park Jin-seop, Kim Tae-hyun, and Hwang Jae-won in defense. Jung Ho-yeon and Baek Seung-ho guarded the midfield, with Uhm Won-sang, Lee Kang-in, and Jung Woo-young in the second line and Park Jae-yong up front.

South Korea dominated possession early in the match and took control of the game. Korea took the lead in the seventh minute of the first half. Seol Young-woo played a one-two with Jung Ho-yeon and was fouled as he entered the penalty box, earning a penalty kick (PK). Baek Seung-ho stepped up to take the spot kick and fired a powerful shot to the bottom right corner, and the ball rattled the net.

Buoyed by the momentum, South Korea added a second goal two minutes later. After winning the ball through forward pressure, Uhm Won-sang broke down the right flank and sent in a cross. Jung Woo-young was free in the center of the box and scored with a precise header.메이저사이트

South Korea conceded in the 28th minute. Baek Seung-ho was pressured in the defense and lost the ball, allowing Aligulov to take advantage of the one-on-one opportunity and score. After the goal, South Korea scored back-to-back goals. In the 28th minute, Seol Young-woo sent in a cross from the right flank that hit the Kyrgyz defense, resulting in a PK. Jung Woo-young stepped up and scored with a powerful shot to make the score 3-1.

Korea extended its lead. In the 34th minute, Cho Young-wook rattled the net with a right-footed shot after receiving a forward pass from Ko Young-joon. In the 40th minute, Hong Hyun-seok slid in a goal that the goalkeeper couldn’t catch to complete the 5-1 victory.

After the game, Coach Hwang said, “I’m happy to go to the quarterfinals. Football is a game of flow. If you don’t win when the flow is there, you give your opponent chances and suffer. I hope we don’t play like this next time.”

Hwang Sun-hong will face the home team China in the quarterfinals. “We expected it,” he said. If we can’t overcome the rough play and the large crowd, we can’t win the gold medal. No one can stand in our way. We will take it one step at a time,” he emphasized.

South Korea faltered after the goal. Hwang said, “It was a situation that didn’t come out in the qualifiers. We were organizationally shaky and lacked situational awareness. It could happen again in the quarterfinals, and we need to be psychologically strong. We will think more about organization.”

Finally, Lee Kang-in, who was substituted in the 14th minute of the second half, said, “It was my scheduled playing time. After the second goal, there were a lot of backward passes. Possession of the ball is important to control the game, and we will make up for it through substitutions.”

LG’s foreign pitcher Kelly showed his love for the team by tattooing his Korean name behind his ear.

LG won the first game of the DH against KT in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League 4-0 on Sunday at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul.토토사이트

Starting pitcher Casey Kelly pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out five and walking two. With the win, Kelly earned her 10th win of the season, marking her fifth straight season with double-digit wins. She shut down the KT bats with a variety of pitches and lowered her ERA to 3.86.

After pitching seven scoreless innings, Kelly took off his hat to thank the LG fans who were chanting his name.

After the game, he walked off the field with his hair tied up and the Korean name “Kelly” tattooed behind his ear.

A rare Korean tattoo for a foreign player. It was a glimpse of Kelly’s love for LG.

Kelly had an up-and-down season this season, going 6-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 18 games in the first half of the season, leading to speculation that he would be replaced, but he rebounded in the second half to become an undisputed ace.

In an interview, Kelly thanked the club, his manager and coaching staff, and his teammates for believing in him after his poor first half.

Kelly has bounced back in a big way, pitching at his best when the team needs him the most and helping LG advance to the Korean Series.

LG also won the second DH of the day to reach 80 wins, reducing the magic number of regular season wins from nine to six.

It turns out that Serge Giroud’s buyout clause is only worth €20 million.

Harry Kane has been on an incredible scoring pace in the German Bundesliga so far this season. The summer signing has been on fire since the league opener and even scored a hat trick against Bochum last time out. Seven goals in five league games. His goal-scoring streak has made his chances of becoming a ‘top scorer’ even better.토토사이트

However, he’s currently in second place. There’s a player who’s scored more goals than him. That player is Girasci. Leading Stuttgart’s offense, Girassi has scored a whopping 10 goals in five league games to top the scoring charts.

Girassi is a Guinean striker. At 6-foot-3, he has strong physicality and a nimble African pace that makes him an excellent finisher in the box. After excelling in the French league, he had a taste of the German Bundesliga with Cologne from 2016-17 to 2018-19, but returned to France with just nine goals and two assists in 45 games. He rebounded with Stade Rennes in 2020-21, scoring 12 goals and adding three assists in 48 games, including cup competitions, in 2021-22.

Then he returned to Germany. Stuttgart. In 28 games, including a cup run, in the 2022-23 season, he scored 14 goals and added two assists, showing a clear improvement over his time in Cologne, and has taken the league by storm this season.

Since the start, he’s been on a scoring streak. A multi-goal performance in the opening game against Bochum was followed by goals against Leipzig and Freiburg before completing a hat-trick against Mainz. In the fifth round, he had two goals and an assist in a 3-1 win over Darmstadt, and in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, he had a goal and an assist in every match. That’s a record not even Kane can match.

Girasci has emerged as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga. Big clubs will be bidding for him in the upcoming transfer window. This is because his buyout clause is reportedly not high. According to German publication Bild, Girasci’s buyout clause is only €20 million. This clause has already been in effect since last summer and is expected to remain in effect until he signs a new contract.
