As the fall season has passed, the mid-level rankings for fall baseball are fiercely developing.

The 5th place Doosan Bears (53 wins, 1 draw, 51 losses, 0.510) won 3 consecutive wins over Kiwoom Heroes and chased the 4th place NC Dinos (52 wins, 2 draws, 49 losses, 0.515), who lost to SSG Landers, by 0.5 game.

The 6th place KIA Tigers (49 wins, 2 draws, 50 losses, 0.495) achieved a remarkable victory over the 2nd place kt wiz and maintained a 1.5 game gap with 5th place Doosan.

The 7th place Lotte Giants (50-55, 0.476) lost to LG that day and suffered 4 consecutive losses, moving away from the mid-level competition.

As a result, the 2023 post season will be held by KT (59 wins, 2 draws, 47 losses, 0.557) and SSG (57 wins, 1 draw, 46 losses, 0.553), which are competing for second place with the sole leader LG Twins (65 wins, 2 draws, 38 losses, 0.631). In addition, it is narrowing down to competition between mid-level teams such as NC, Doosan, and KIA.

Doosan swept 3 consecutive matches during the week against Kiwoom and won 3 consecutive wins.

Doosan won 8-6 in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League Kiwoom and visit game held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 24th.

Doosan won the victory thanks to the strength of the bullpen and batting line, even though starter Kim Dong-joo gave up 4 runs in 1⅔ innings.

In particular, foreign hitter José Rojas scored 3 hits, 1 walk, 5 RBIs and 3 runs in 4 at-bats, including a two-run four in the first inning, two RBIs in the 5th inning, and a wedge triple in the 7th inning.

It was one record short of cycling hits (recording everything from a single hit to a home run in one game).

Yang Eui-ji, who returned to the starting lineup as a designated hitter after 19 days, had 2 hits in 4 at-bats.

Kiwoom lost 3 consecutive times, pouring out 12 bases even after posting 12 hits and 8 walks, more than Doosan (9 hits and 6 walks).

■ KIA Park Chan-ho 4-at-bats, 2 hits, 2 RBIs, 3 runs scored, autumn baseball ‘hope’

KIA defeated kt with Park Chan-ho’s final blow after 2 outs in the top of the 9th inning and revived hopes for advancing to the postseason.

KIA won 7-3 against kt in an away match held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 24th.

The first contributor to victory was Park Chan-ho.

KIA shortstop Park Chan-ho ended the inning by calmly catching the ball and accurately throwing it to first base when Seong-wu Jang’s hit hit third baseman Do-yeong Kim’s glove and refracted in the bottom of the 8th inning with the score 3-3.

In the top of the 9th inning, with 2 bases loaded, kt finisher Kim Jae-yoon attacked the 6th fork ball and hit a 2 RBI right-handed hit.

Convinced of the ‘final blow’, Park Chan-ho clenched his fists and ran to first base. After arriving at first base, he waved his arms and drew cheers from KIA fans.

KIA added 2 points with Na Seong-beom’s mid-month triple that broke out from the 2nd 1st and 3rd bases, putting a wedge in the game.

On this day, KIA allowed kt Oh Yoon-seok to hit a two-run home run at the end of the 5th inning, leading 1-0, and allowed a turnaround.

It was Park Chan-ho who changed the atmosphere.

After one out in the top of the 6th inning, Park hit a ground ball that bounced near second base, then sprinted to get a hit.

At this time, kt second baseman Lee Ho-yeon’s throw to first base went into the dugout and Park Chan-ho advanced to second base.

In the first out and second base, Na Seong-beom hit a right-handed hit at the right time, and KIA tied the score 2-2.

When kt took the lead again with a timely hit by pinch hitter Seong-Woo Jang in the bottom of the 6th inning, Chan-Ho Park walked out after a run in the top of the 8th inning, stole second base and settled in scoring position, and stepped home when Hyung-Woo Choi hit in the middle right.

Park Chan-ho played the role of a solver in the last at-bat in the 9th inning and gave the team a valuable victory.

Park’s record that day was 4 at-bats, 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 3 runs.

6th place KIA maintained a 1.5 game gap with 5th place Doosan.

■ LG, starter Kelly’s first scoreless pitch of the season leads the way

The LG Twins continued to lead the way after defeating the Lotte Giants 3-1 in their home game in Jamsil.

LG’s joy was even greater as Casey Kelly, a foreign starter who had been sluggish this season, pitched a scoreless pitch (6 innings, 3 hits) for the first time this season.

Kelly played a game against Lotte on June 23 (8 innings, 7 hits, 1 run), but this was the first time this season that he finished the mound without a run.

The LG batters focused their firepower on the 4th inning.

After one out, Hyun-soo Kim went on base with a hit in front of the pitcher, and Austin Dean hit a double to the left fielder to take the lead.

Oh Ji-hwan struck out with a strikeout, but Moon Bo-gyeong hit the ball and Park Dong-won walked on base, giving them two chances to load the bases.

Lotte made up for one point with consecutive doubles by An Chi-Hong and Yoon Dong-Hee in the beginning of the 7th inning after Kelly went down the mound. However, the atmosphere cooled down as Jeong Hoon, Jeong Bo-geun, and Jeon Jun-woo all struck out at second base.

7th place Lotte fell into a 4-game losing streak.

■ 3rd place SSG, Choi Jeong reversed solo arch… 2nd place kt 0.5 game pressure

3rd place SSG Landers defeated 4th place NC Dinos 7-4 after a home run battle at Incheon home, narrowing the gap with 2nd place kt to 0.5 games.

NC got the first point in the middle of the first inning with Park Kun-woo’s mid-month two-run gun that burst from 1 company and 1 base.먹튀검증

SSG immediately counterattacked.

In the bottom of the first inning, when lead batter Choo Shin-soo went to base with a left-handed hit, Choi Ji-hoon scored an RBI with a triple through right-center.

SSG tied the score 2-2 as Choi Ji-hoon stepped on the home plate during NC starter Jae-Hak Lee’s wild throw, and then Jeong-Choi hit Lee Jae-Hak’s fastball and drew a come-from-behind solo arch over the right wall.

NC tried to change the atmosphere by replacing catcher Joong-Yeol Ahn with Hyeong-Jun Kim without catching a single out count in the first inning, but the next hitter Joo-Hwan Choi also hit Lee Jae-Hak’s fastball and scored a superior solo shot.

In the bottom of the first inning, SSG turned around by scoring 4 runs. In the second inning, Kim Seong-hyun, Choo Shin-soo, and Choi Ji-hoon added 1 point with 3 hits in a row, and when Choi Joo-hwan withdrew with a double hit next to the second baseman at the bases loaded safely with Choi Jeong’s hit ball, got another 1 point.

After one out in the 3rd inning, Hanyu Island hit a solo home run with superiority and ran away to 7-2.

NC catcher Kim Hyung-jun hit solo home runs in the 5th and 8th innings, season 1 and 2, and chased 4-7, but could not overcome the gap that had opened at the beginning of the game.

Meanwhile, the match between Samsung Lions and Hanwha Eagles scheduled to be held in Daejeon was canceled due to rain.

Jin-young Ko, who has fallen from No. 1 to No. 4 in the world rankings in the past month, is set to recover his honor at the LPGA Tour.

Ko Jin-young will participate in the LPGA Tour CPKC Women’s Open (total prize money ($ 2.5 million)) held at Shonessee Golf and Country Club (par 72) in Vancouver, Canada for four days from the 24th (Korean time). It is Ko Jin-young who is in a slump

.

After finishing in a tie for 26th, she slowed down with a tie for 20th at the Amundi Evian Championship last month and a tie for 30th at the AIG Women’s Open earlier this month.In the meantime, she briefly returned to Korea to메이저사이트

compete in the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour, but left her shoulder in the second round. He also withdrew on the way.

The world ranking also fell 3 places in a month to 4th place as of the 21st.

In the end, Jin-young Ko did not participate in the ISPS Handa World Invitational last week and focused on recovery.

The CPKC Women’s Open has good memories for Jin-young Ko . It is a tournament. In the last 2019 tournament held at Magna Golf Killup (par 72) in Aurora, Ontario, Canada, he won the ‘no-bogey championship’.

[Seoul=Newsis] Correspondent Jo Soo-jeong = Jin-young Ko is ironing the 3rd hole during the 1R of the ’10th Jeju Samdasoo Masters’ held at Jeju Hallim Blackstone Jeju CC on the 3rd. (Photo = provided by KLPGA) 2023.08.03. photo@newsis.com *Resale and DB prohibited
At the time, Ko Jin-young, who scored 262 strokes at 26 under par, recorded the lowest score in his personal career in the 72-hole tournament and the lowest score in this tournament at the same time.

In addition, a Korean player has all the lowest score records from the 18th hole to the 36th hole and the 54th hole of this tournament.

Kim Song-hee shot 9-under-par 62 in the second round in 2009, tied for first place in 18 holes, and Anna Lin held the 36-hole record by swinging 13-under 129 until the second round last year.

The 54-hole record was Ryu So-yeon, who hit 20 under par 196 until the third round of the 2014 tournament.

This year, along with Ko Jin-young, 14 Korean players, including Kim Hyo-joo, Park Seong-hyeon, Jeon In-ji, Anna-rin, and Lee Jeong-eun, will participate.

Lilia Vu, Nellie Corda (above USA), and Celine Boutier (France), who are ranked 1st to 3rd in the world, will also challenge for the championship.

‘Defending champion’ Paula Leto (South Africa) will defend her title.

The 2024 KBO Rookie Draft is right around the corner. The atmosphere is getting more and more complicated in the head of the KIA Tigers, who have the overall number 6 in the first round. Above all, since there is no right to pick in the second round, the result of the first round nomination will inevitably become more important. Shim Jae-hak, head of the KIA, was also in deep agony ahead of the first nomination event after taking office.

Shim headed to Gwangju ahead of the Suwon KT WIZ match on August 23rd. This was because while the first team matches will be held in Suwon, another important match will be held in Gwangju. A practice game between the youth baseball team and the KIA Futures team was scheduled to take place at the Gwangju-Kia Champions Field this afternoon. However, this practice game was not held due to the cancellation of rain along with the news of nationwide rain.

Among the players in the youth national team, the player who will receive the most attention from the KIA is pitcher Dae-hyeon Cho (Gangneung High School). KIA exercises the right to pick the 6th overall pick in the first round. The current ‘TOP 2’ composition is Hwang Jun-seo (Jangchung High School) and Kim Taek-yeon (Incheon High School), and recently, Jeon Mir (Gyeongbuk High School) and Yuk Seon-yeop (Jangchung High School), Kim Hwi-gun (Hwimoon High School) and Cho Dae-hyun are in order. It is a highly rated atmosphere.

In a recent interview with MK Sports, Jo Dae-hyeon, who showed off his ‘double sword’ activity this year, said, “Honestly, it was very difficult for me to try to do dual wield. It was even more so because the weather was too hot recently. Both the overall record of the pitcher and batter were good, but personally, I think the pitcher was better in the end. I think it would be better to focus more on the pitcher than the hitter from now on,” he said, expressing his intention to put more weight on the pitcher in the future.

Next, Jo Dae-hyun said, “The nomination for a newcomer is coming in about a month, but if I was looking forward to it in the past, now I feel a little nervous. My pitching pace has fallen, but I want to join the youth national team and show good pitching again and get a more certain first round nomination. Until then, I will replenish my stamina and exercise harder.”

If Cho Dae-hyun appeared in the youth national team’s practice game on August 23, it would be like opening a showcase in front of Shim Jae-hak, the head coach. In addition, through the club’s own tracking system, Hawkeye, it was possible to closely examine Cho Dae-hyun’s pitching. That opportunity was unfortunately blown away by rain.먹튀검증

The KIA is expected to look at a wide range of right-handed pitcher candidates, including Cho Dae-hyun, Kim Hwi-gun, Won Sang-hyun (Busan High School), and Jeon Jun-pyo (Seoul High School), until the last minute.

Shim Jae-hak, head of the KIA, said, “Honestly, it is true that the burden of the first round nomination result is great because there is no right to be nominated in the second round. This is because most of the good players in the youth team are likely to be taken from other teams before our team’s third round nomination. Still, we are trying to select the best among the remaining players in our turn by carefully evaluating the best possible pitcher candidates. The scouting team and power analysis team are really struggling together.”

When KIA traded with Kiwoom Heroes last winter and gave them the right to pick in the second round, things got complicated in their heads. Attention is focusing on whether KIA will be able to succeed in the call by obtaining the most desired result in the first round nomination.

Head coach Kim Jong-min has signed a three-year contract extension.

The Korea Expressway Corporation High Pass Volleyball Team has signed a three-year contract through the 2025-2026 season with head coach Kim Jong-min, who led the team to the V-League title in the 2022-2023 season and became the highest paid coach in women’s history.

After taking over in April 2016, Kim Jong-min led the team to a historic ‘V1’ in the 2017-2018 season, the first since the club’s inception. In the 2021-2022 season, the team won 12 games in a row, the longest winning streak in team history. In the 2022-2023 season, the team achieved a V2 feat by leading the first “reverse sweep” in V-League history. It was a golden tower of perseverance, achieved without even being considered a favorite.메이저놀이터

“We decided to re-sign Coach Kim Jong-min in recognition of his achievements in achieving two V-League championships since its inception and playing a big role in establishing a prestigious club with his excellent team management skills,” said a Roadworks team official.

Shortly after signing the contract, Kim Jong-min said, “I am grateful to the club for believing in me and making a good offer, and I will show the unique volleyball of Korea Road Corporation through various attempts with a long-term perspective.”

With the three-year renewal, Kim Jong-min became the longest-serving head coach in the women’s program with a contract of 10 years (2016-2026). Previously, Lee Jung-cheol (now a commentator for SBS Sports) led IBK for nine years.

After bouncing off the bike, he succeeds in spinning two wheels, and he also shows off this superman move.

There are also movements that have been tried for the first time in the world.

This is the motion of releasing your hand while spinning in the air.

I think the expression ‘flying’ is accurate, but it can be scary if you get hurt, but the thirty-five-year-old Spaniard expressed his impression that he enjoys trying new skills the most.

“The K-League still needs to be seen and learned. I hope to have a conversation on the same topic in a few months.”

This is what Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the national soccer team, said at a press conference for his appointment to Korea. In March, the Korea Football Association (KFA) officially announced that it had appointed coach Klinsmann, who had led the German national team and the US national team in the past, as the head coach of the A team. On the 9th of the same month, coach Klinsman attended a press conference for the new coach held at the Paju National Soccer Team Training Center (Paju NFC).

He was like a star player. Sharp questions were answered without interruption with a leisurely smile. When director Klinsmann left Hertha Berlin as manager in November 2020, he announced his intention to resign through his personal social network service (SNS), which caused controversy. Upon hearing the question, Director Klinsman smiled and said, “People make mistakes. I always learn. I will never announce my resignation on social media again. I think it is an experience. Isn’t it always difficult to make the right decision? I will try to reduce mistakes.” .

He was also full of confidence. He proudly revealed his lofty and specific goals. His first goal is to win the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup next January. In the 2026 International Football Federation (FIFA) World Cup in North and Central America, where his contract expires, he pledged to ‘four-final myth’. Coach Klinsman said, “Winning is important. As I said at Incheon International Airport, the first goal is to reach the top of the Asian Cup.” I will instill confidence that you can grab and do it.

He also gave the initial plan for the appointment. He emphasized that he was a ‘learning group’ leader. He promised to work hard to identify not only European players but also K-League players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich, then Napoli), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, then Mallorca).

As he had just taken the baton, he must have done less power analysis. He is manager Klinsman who is proud of his 40-year football career. Coach Klinsmann, who has extensive experience not only in Germany but also in England and the United States, said, “I saw the skills of Asian teams at the Qatar World Cup. I learned a lot in the regional qualifiers for 6 years,” he said, emphasizing that he is a ‘school district leader’. It was a remark to emphasize that he was a member of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Technical Study Group (TSG).

He made domestic players also have expectations of joining the national team. He promised to find the K-League site himself. He also showed confidence as a veteran coach, saying, “Thanks to my 40-year career, I can understand a young player’s skills in 10 minutes.” Coach Klinsman, who pledged to “verify the field,” said directly, “Of course I will live in Korea.”

In fact he showed a willingness to fulfill his promise. That was the case at the beginning of his tenure. Coach Klinsman watched a total of 10 K League 1 matches, starting with the FC Seoul and Ulsan Hyundai match held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium three days after his inauguration press conference. In the A match at the end of March, before Klinsman’s debut, the 2022 Qatar World Cup members were convened. As it has been less than a month since he took office, the priority was to identify his existing power.

He is 3 months old. Klinsmann was scheduled to meet Peru and El Salvador. He also had a surprise appointment. Ahn Hyun-beom (Jeonbuk Hyundai, Jeonbuk Hyundai,

It was the evaluation of the Klinsmann Division. Coach Klinsman said, “I haven’t seen the game yet” about Ahn Hyun-beom after the announcement of the national team list in June. It was thanks to coach Michael Kim and advisor Cha Doo-ri touring the domestic scene. Of course, Ahn Hyun-beom was known as a top-notch wingback in Korea when he was selected for the A national team, but in fact, the Jeju game against Ulsan on June 10 was the only one on coach Klinsman’s list of games to watch.

Maybe it was because he was a player he couldn’t figure out himself, Klinsmann appointed Ahn Hyun-beom as the right fullback in the evaluation match against Peru. Ahn Hyun-beom’s greatest strength, explosive speed and attack power, were not utilized at all. In the meantime, coach Klinsman has traveled to England, Italy, and Belgium to focus on checking overseas players. This was the reason why the original stones Hong Hyun-seok (Belgium) and Park Kyu-hyun (Dinamo Dresden, Germany) were first selected.

It has been half a year since he took over as head coach of the Korean national team. 2 draws, 2 losses, not a single win. Although it is in the early stages of seniority, even the game with El Salvador (75th), which is considered relatively weak, was tied 1-1. It is taking the longest time to win the first victory after taking office among all foreign coaches.

In the meantime, even the controversy over ‘remote command’ came to the fore. Manager Klinsman is mainly staying abroad after taking a month-long overseas vacation after an A match in June. He traveled to Europe for personal reasons, including charity events, and spent time at his home in Los Angeles.

This means that the terms of appointment have not been met. The ‘residence conditions in Korea’ specified in the contract have become colorless. I am still staying at home in the US. In a video press conference held over two days with KFA reporters on the 17th and 18th, amidst the stigma of being a “cyber director,” he said, “The way we work may be different. We communicate with Coach Michael Kim and Advisor Cha Du-ri.” However, I am also a workaholic. I am grasping international trends and analyzing my opponents. I am by no means resting.”안전놀이터

The K-League is in full swing. However, coach Klinsman is not in Korea until the A match in September. He is set to join the national team in Wales, UK. As for the selection of domestic players, it seems that weight will be focused on the opinions of coach Michael Kim and advisor Cha Doo-ri, who have been on the field in Korea, as they did in June. Coaches Andreas Köpke and Paulo Stringara focused on inspecting foreign players in Europe.

About two months before the Asian Cup, when he was confident of winning the championship, he plans to visit the domestic scene in person. Coach Klinsman said, “The schedule for July and August was agreed upon before signing the contract with the KFA. That’s why I couldn’t spend much time in Korea.” He announced future plans.

It is a national team that has built a strong power such as Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in. As key players are enjoying their heyday, there are not many eyes that the Korean national team is aiming for the best ever.

However, until the World Cup three years later, it seems that the excavation of raw stones is a backfire. The player who will receive a new opportunity under the new coach system and grow into a new weapon for the A national team is developing competitiveness on the international stage in Korea. Kim Moon-hwan and Cho Kyu-seong (then Jeonbuk), who were key players in the Qatar World Cup, and Na Sang-ho (FC Seoul), who played a big role in the match against Uruguay, were like that. The overall framework of the national team, which Bento has worked hard for over four years, seems to be flowing inconsistently under the Klinsman system.

Baseball’s Lotte is preparing for the biggest test of its fall season.

Lotte had a roller coaster ride last week, going back and forth between heaven and hell. They started off strong by sweeping a midweek three-game series against then second-place SSG, but then suffered a shocking three-game series loss to last-place Kiwoom in a weekend three-game series.

This dropped Lotte to seventh place, 1.5 games behind fifth-place Doosan. Their fall baseball hopes are still alive, but if they can’t overcome the biggest hurdle of the season, this week, they could be in danger of elimination.토토사이트

Lotte hosts first-place LG and second-place KT this week. They open with a three-game series against LG in Jamsil before traveling home to Busan to take on KT.

Both teams are tough opponents for Lotte.

Leaders LG have solidified their dominance, while KT have been on a tear lately. Both teams are on a roll, winning 7-3 and 8-2 in their last 10 games, respectively.

For Lotte, second-place KT is more daunting than first-place LG. Lotte has a close 5-6 record against LG this season, but they have been outscored by KT 3-9.

KT’s recent rise is particularly frightening. Once in last place, KT has been on a terrifying run, climbing all the way up to second place. During their recent 10-game winning streak, KT is 24-5 with a winning percentage of 0.828. Their winning percentage during this period is higher than LG’s.

Lotte will have their work cut out for them this week, as the outcome of their six-game series could either keep them in the race for fifth place or push them out of the fall baseball race.

For starters, pot-bellied foreigner Aaron Wilkerson will make two appearances this week to give the team a boost in the fall baseball race. Wilkerson, who joined the team during the season as a replacement for “hairy ace” Dan Straily, has been Lotte’s hope in five games, going 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA. This will be his first start against LG and KT, so he may be a bit unfamiliar to opposing hitters.

Add to that another foreign pitcher, Charlie Barnes, who has been pitching well in the second half of the season, and homegrown ace Na Kyun-ahn, who made his comeback last week against Gochuk Kiwoom after a 25-day absence.

With nowhere to turn, it will be interesting to see if Lotte can rebound against the top teams.

Director Jurgen Klinsmann finally opened up about the criticism and questions that were pouring in on him.

Coach Klinsmann became the head coach of the Korean national team after Paulo Bento’s successor. His career as a player was incomparably the best, but after his retirement and starting his leadership career, only disappointment was left, and after leaving Hertha Berlin abruptly, he was not even on the field, so anxious eyes were focused on him. So far, concerns are becoming reality.

First of all, the grades are not good. During his 4 matches, he recorded 2 draws and 2 losses. In the March A match list, which copied the final list of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, it drew 2-2 with Colombia, and lost 1-2 in the match against Uruguay. In the June A match, which was said to be the true first season of Klinsmann, they lost 0-1 to Peru and drew 1-1 against El Salvador, which was rated one step lower. It’s worth pointing out that they haven’t won a single game, even though they’ve only played four games yet. Fans do not criticize only his grades. The content of the game was not good, and coach Klinsman’s incomprehensible behavior afterwards is also the reason.

The biggest thing is the absence of Korea. Klinsmann was granted seven weeks of leave since his appointment, and he took another month off. I came back to Korea just before the team K-League match against Atletico Madrid, and I thought I would start selecting players while watching the K-League matches before the A match in September, but I went back to the United States. At the time of his appointment, he said that he would observe various players and lead the national team while residing in Korea, but in reality, the period of stay in Korea was not long, so many people look at him with regret. Compared to his career as a player, his coaching career was not good, he also produced a lot of external rumors, and since he took office, he has not been able to hold on to any of the results or content, so more critical attention is being paid to Klinsman’s current move.

While the criticism continued, the second opponent of the September A match was announced. Klinsmanho goes to Europe in September to face Wales. Wales has recently become a strong player through the World Cup and UEFA Euro results. Even if Gareth Bale has retired, Wales is definitely a team with potential. Wales’ next opponent drew attention, confirmed to be Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is currently ranked 54th in the FIFA rankings, 5th in Asia following South Korea at 28th. Although they failed to advance to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar last year, they surprised the world by beating Argentina, the champion of the tournament, 2-1 in the first match of the group stage. It is part of preparations for next year’s Asian Cup, as it may meet strong players in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia. Their record against Saudi Arabia is poor with 4 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in 17 matches. The list of players who will participate in the September A match will be announced on August 28th, and will be convened at Incheon International Airport on September 4th to depart for England. Overseas players join locally.

Then, in the A match in October, we will face Tunisia. The opponent for the next match has not yet been decided. Tunisia, the goblin team representing Africa, drew attention by beating France 1-0 at the last World Cup in Qatar. The previous record with Korea is 1 draw and 1 loss. With the three consecutive matches leading to Wales, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia confirmed, the point to watch is who Klinsmann will win his first win against. They are all difficult opponents. In the case of an A match in September, the Hangzhou Asian Games are held, and an A-level resource outflow is predicted.

We need to win fast to defuse the current criticism. Before that, it is necessary to give a clear answer to the recent controversy. Even that is going on non-face-to-face, which is causing controversy. Klins Manho, who has been creating controversy and criticism for himself not long after taking office, will face a major crisis ahead of the really important Asian Cup if there is no result in three consecutive matches.

After going to the United States, rather than analyzing, talking about, or observing the Korean national team, he appeared in foreign media videos and evaluated foreign players, causing more controversy. He remained silent about the national team story, and the more he did, the stronger the criticism from the fans. In response, the Korea Football Association conducted non-face-to-face interviews on the 17th and 18th, and coach Klinsman told several stories.

[non-face-to-face interview with director Klinsman]

Impressions on the grouping results of the 2026 North & Central America World Cup Asian 2nd Preliminary Qualifier

The group draw was an interesting group to watch with the coaching staff in the office before going to watch the Team K-League and Atlético Madrid match in Korea. It’s not an easy group, but I think it’s positive. Now that the opposing team is out, we can collect and analyze information to draw a roadmap. We are strong candidates (3rd qualifying round), but I don’t think there are any underdogs. I will do a good relative analysis to bring good results.

Regarding the recent recent situation and remote work controversy.

While watching the K-League, I discussed with the association officials after the World Cup draw. Afterwards, I came to the United States, and on a personal schedule, I went to Dublin, Ireland for about a week because I had a schedule with a person who has been doing charity work for a long time. I couldn’t cancel it because it was scheduled before I signed a contract as the coach of the Korean national soccer team. I went to London, England to watch Son Heung-min’s Tottenham opening game in line with the schedule I went to Ireland, and there I had the opportunity to meet Brentport Kim Ji-soo, so we had a conversation. After that, he returned to the US. Now, after going to Europe to attend a meeting of the European Football Association (UEFA), watching the UEFA Champions League group draw, I plan to take a look at the European players right before the A match call.안전놀이터

There is an exaggeration to conclude that I do not live in Korea. Regardless of where they are physically, I think the way I communicate and observe the players is different from before. There is also a way to go directly to the stadium, but even if we do not go, we are constantly in touch with the coaching staff in each country to check the condition of the players. I am a very active person. You will play your role as the coach of the Korean national soccer team through more activities than you think, whether on the field or anywhere. In the second half of the year, as the games will continue to be held in Korea, there will naturally be more time to work in Korea.

It is pointed out that he does not look directly at K Leaguers and prefers Europeans.

I watched as many K-League games as possible, and coaches Cha Doo-ri and Michael Kim are also watching. String Gara and Köpke coaches also watched the game. (As of August 17, when the interview took place) Head Coach Herrchoke is scheduled to watch the K-League this week. Also, I watched not only the K-League, but also the U-League and Osan High School matches. By watching the national team by age group, I am improving my understanding of Korean football and figuring out who to include in the national team pool.

If you look at the list of A matches in March and June, many players have changed, but it is unknown how much they will change in the future. Change will persist. I understand the feelings of the players who want to get more opportunities. However, since no one can come to the national team, they must continuously observe many games and select them. I am also curious about what the final roster for the Asian Cup next January will be like.

There’s no such thing as preferring someone more. The door to the national team is open to all players. I want to see as many players as possible. When I was in charge of the U.S. national team and went to the World Cup in Brazil, I took 12 to 13 MLS players with me. I and the coaching staff are looking for a good combination while watching many players at home and abroad, and are constantly thinking about how to make the best team.

There is a controversy over the duplicate selection of players, including Lee Kang-in, for the A national team and the Asian Games national team.

It is fortunate that the two schedules do not overlap. However, there is a period of about a week from the A match to the opening of the Asian Games, and during this period it is not mandatory, so it can be difficult if European clubs call their players and send them back in time for the opening. i think i need to solve that.

I don’t know how many of the players who joined the A team will go to the Asian Games, but I will try to join the Asian Games team after coming to the A team and playing the best game to improve my performance. I hope to get good energy from the A team and pass it on to the Asian Games team.

(Regarding Lee Kang-in) I talked with the Paris Saint-Germain club. I heard that Lee Kang-in cleverly put a clause in the contract that required the club to comply with the Asian Games selection. There will be no big problem (to participate in the Asian Games). However, since it has to be used in the A match in September, it is convened to the A national team and then joins the Asian Games. It can be more effective if you play a high-level game as a member of the A national team in Wales and Saudi Arabia in September’s A match and go to the Asian Games team. And he told Lee Kang-in that his ultimate goal is to go to China and have a big accident (getting a gold medal). (Laughs) Because Lee Kang-in has the ability, he will adapt quickly even if he joins the Asian Games team after playing an A match. The problem is the players who did not include the relevant provisions, but from the club’s point of view, it is not a problem even if they do not respond to the selection, so I try to help where I can.

I am also learning about the importance of the Asian Games. I came to know because many people constantly explained to me that the tournament was more important than I thought because the military issue was at stake. If Lee Kang-in and other players receive military service benefits, it will help not only individuals but also Korean football. Now I understand it to some extent, and I try to understand more. So I will try to help.

Park Kyu-hyun is thinking of (sending) if coach Hwang Seon-hong wants to be summoned early. Regarding Park Kyu-hyun, I had many phone calls with his team, Dresden. However, European clubs do not understand why the Asian Games are important. I was like that, so there was a learning process, and now I’m trying to share related information and make people understand. From Dresden’s point of view, Park Kyu-hyun was selected for an A match in June, and if he goes to the Asian Games, A matches, and Asian Cup, he may not be able to use the player for more than 10 games, which is a big loss for the club. So, I also recognize the importance of the Asian Games and explain it to the European clubs, working behind the scenes to help coach Hwang and the Asian Games national team.

What do you think about the preparations for the A match in September and October and the match against Vietnam, which is being discussed as the second opponent in October?

Of course I want to play against the best team in the world. I want to play with Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England and France. However, these days, there are competitions by continent during the A-match period, so it is difficult to find a matchup opponent. So when I was thinking about how to make the most of the A match period during an internal meeting, I wanted to prepare for the Asian Cup. In addition to the Asian Cup, Vietnam can also be a meaningful opponent in preparation for a match against an Asian team in the World Cup qualifiers.

What do you think about the role and duties of the national team coach?

I think the role of a national team manager is very different compared to that of a club team. The club grasps the flow and trends of the league, plays games every week, trains with players every day, and constantly thinks about how to develop them. On the other hand, the national team is preparing for major tournaments. As we prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup and the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America, we must continuously observe and study the flow of modern soccer and the preparations of our opponents.

Personally, I watch a lot of UEFA Champions League. It is currently the world’s best soccer tournament, and it uses the highest level of soccer. If you look at the coaches of the national team during the World Cup, they study new soccer and tactics that were shown in the UEFA Champions League and show them in major competitions. It is important for national team coaches to look at the trends and changes in modern football with an international perspective, and to discuss with the association how we can show a better performance in major tournaments.

I think the most important thing for a player is to grow in a good club, so I try to help the players based on my experience outside of the game. What I have constantly said to my players since I took office as a Korean coach is, “I will be there for you guys. Come visit me whenever you need it. I like things related to my career as a player, and I don’t care about external problems. I will do everything I can, but the choice is my choice.” It’s up to the player. Players’ development is done at the club. We have to help the players make good choices. As the national team coach, I’m lucky to be able to think about whether to draw a good picture by selecting the best, well-trained players for the national team. I think it is my role to open good opportunities and give advice to the players.

Samsung also finished last in pro baseball. , with a batting average of 0.349, 11 homers, 57 RBIs and 17 stolen bases, he exploded his potential. Of course, the rookie of the year was also his share. Afterwards, Ja-wook Koo, who became the team’s leading hitter, was awarded a large sum of 12 billion won for 5 years with a multi-year contract as a non-free agent (FA) ahead of the 2022 season. It was a move contrary to the evaluation that they were stingy with investments, sending them away without any regrets when they obtained FA qualifications after leading the ‘Samsung Dynasty’ after the club’s management was transferred to Cheil Worldwide. It meant that Ja-wook Koo was acknowledged as the team’s star.

However, Ja-wook Koo had the worst performance last season, the first year of a large contract. Injuries and sluggishness combined, and he only appeared in 99 games. His batting average was 0.293 (120 hits in 409 at-bats), but his slugging power was greatly missed with only 5 home runs, less than a quarter of the 2021 season home runs (22). Naturally, his RBI production also decreased, with just 38 RBIs. Since he is a high-paid person with a salary of over 2 billion won, there was even talk of ‘eating and running’.

The 2023 season greeted with great pride. Even before leaving on June 5 due to a hamstring injury, he had a batting average of 0.295, 3 homers and 24 RBIs. His batting average was close to 300, but his productivity was too low. Along with the rise of the main gun, Samsung’s performance also fell to the bottom.

Koo Ja-wook, who returned from an injury after a month or so through the match against Doosan on the 4th of last month, has changed 180 degrees. As if trying to prove that his healthy skills are this much, he hits hard every day. Ja-wook Koo drove his batting average to 0.377 (23 hits in 61 at-bats) in July alone, raising his batting average to 0.316 for the season.

In August, Ja-wook Koo’s bat is turning even sharper. Until the last 19th KIA, his monthly batting average reached a whopping 0.475 (28 hits in 59 at-bats). He hit home runs in three consecutive games, including his first full base cap, before KIA on the 19th, and swept 4 home runs and 17 RBIs in August alone. Thanks to the great performance of the main gun, Samsung succeeded in getting out of last place.스포츠토토

Ja-wook Koo, who raised his batting average to 0.347 (105 hits in 303 at-bats) for the season thanks to the drive-by, is leading the batting champion race as of the 19th. It is the result of abandoning the home run greed and maximizing the contact ability, aiming to produce batted balls focused on single hits and double hits. Although he has only 8 homers this season, he ranks first in the league in doubles (29), and his slugging percentage is 0.528, which is 3rd overall in the league.

Will Koo Ja-wook be able to win his first hitting title? With the current momentum, he can surpass not only the batting champion but also his career high batting average (0.349) as a rookie.

The long-awaited final of the 2023 International Football Federation (FIFA) Australia-New Zealand Women’s World Cup unfolds.

England and Spain clash at Stadium Australia on the 20th at 7pm (Korean time). Both teams have no winning experience. Whoever wins will create the first history of the Women’s World Cup.

England reached the final for the first time after reaching the semi-finals in the last two tournaments in a row. In the semifinals, they defeated host country Australia 3-1 to advance to the final. England is in a festive mood right now.

However, before the finals, something happened that ruined the festive atmosphere. It’s because of the British royal family. This is because no one from the British royal family is attending the stage where England is the first to reach the final and challenge for the first championship. The British royal family announced that they would watch the Women’s World Cup final on TV.

Then the accusations exploded. In particular, the criticism towards Prince William is strong. He is currently the head of the Football Association of England.

In addition, when news broke that Queen Leticia and Princess Infanta, representing the royal family, were attending the final and cheering for the Spanish national football team, the intensity of criticism toward Prince William intensified.

Politicians and fans unanimously raised their voices to criticize Prince William. Various criticisms such as no-show, sexism, and own goal came out.

Britain’s ‘Daily Star’ reported, “Prince William is being criticized for an own goal ahead of the Women’s World Cup final. The royal family is accused of insulting the England women’s national team.”

English politicians say: “No show. I’m not supporting the Women’s World Cup final and it’s completely nonsensical that we’re not ready yet. We will not be holding any kind of celebration if that is the case.”

“This scene shows how the royal family thinks of the England women’s national team. It’s so different from how they treat the men’s national team. The women’s national team is ignored and treated with disrespect.”토토사이트

“We know that if this were the men’s national team final, Prince William would be there no matter how far the flight to Australia was. If the men’s national team made it to the final, there is no chance that Prince William would go missing.”

English soccer fans also rose up. 

Fans said, ‘It is incomprehensible that the president of the association does not go to the World Cup final. I would go if it was the men’s national team”, “I’m really disappointed in Prince William. The girls did their best to climb up there. I have to go there and apply,’ and “Is the men’s national team worth more? Prince William should have already boarded a plane,” he voiced anger.
