"Lee Kang-in vs. Minamino" mini-Korea-Japan Match Failed

Lee Kang-in, who traveled long distances during the A-match period in November, was absent in terms of "rest." Naturally, the "mini-Japanese war" with Takumi Minamino failed, but it turned out to be a good situation.

Paris Saint-Germain PSG defeated AS Monaco 5-2 in the 13th round of the French Ligue 1 in the 2023-24 season at Parc des Princes, located in Paris, France, at 5 a.m. on the 25th. As a result, PSG took the lead with nine wins, three draws and one loss 30 points.

Home team PSG took out a 4-3-3 formation. Kylian Mbappe, Gonzalo Hamus, Usman Dembele, Vitinha, Manuel Ugarte, Fabian Lewis, Nordi Mukiele, Luca Hernandez, Milan Shkriniar, Archiraf Hakimi and Gianluigi Donnarumma were among the players.

Lee Kang-in, Marco Asensio, Danilu Pereira, Randal Colomuani, Sher Ndur, Carlos Soler, Bradley Barcola, Arnautenas and Levain Quirzawa were on the bench.

Monaco, the visiting team, fought back in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Polarin Balogun, Alexandre Golovin, Minamino Takumi, Denis Zakaria, Mohammed Kamara, Ismail Jacobs, Van der Song, Sungutu Magasa, Guillermo Maripan, Wilfried Singo and Philippe competed.

Lee Kangin vs. Minamino, who drew attention, failed

PSG and Monaco could never tolerate defeat to each other. Before kick-off, PSG had 27 points and Monaco had 24 points. Attention was high because it was no different from a "six-point" game in the championship competition.

In addition to the confrontation between the teams, the confrontation between the players also became a hot topic. Lee Kang-in is playing for PSG and Minamino is playing for Monaco. Lee Kang-in wore a PSG uniform this summer and is being appointed under the trust of Luis Enrique. In particular, Enrique is paying attention to Lee Kang-in's "multipleness" and entrusting several positions such as left and right wingers, midfielders, and zero-top. I lived up to my expectations. Lee Kang-in scored one goal and one assist in Ligue 1 and one goal in the Champions League.

Minamino left Liverpool last summer to join Monaco. It was a bit sluggish last season, maybe during the adjustment period. Due to poor performance, he often stayed on the bench, and he only played 1,083 minutes in 25 games during a season. However, he made a comeback this season. Before the PSG match, he scored three goals and four assists, and was named the Ligue 1 player of the month in August.

There were many people who expected the two's performance, but as only Minamino took the ground, the "mini-Japan match" did not take place. Lee Kang-in left a long-distance flight during the A-match period in November and played a long time for two consecutive games. Minamino was similarly called up to the Japanese national team, but the total time he played was only 90 minutes. In terms of physical strength, Lee Kang-in needed more arrangements.

PSG also have a Champions League match against Newcastle United next week. Coach Enrique decided to give Lee Kang-in a break and put Vitinha in the place. Naturally, this is why Lee Kang-in is expected to start against Newcastle.

It is inevitable that more attention is needed to use Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in had two injuries after joining PSG. A hamstring injury occurred in the preseason and a quadriceps femoral injury in late August. There is nothing to send out because another injury should not occur. Furthermore, PSG are a team with good Debs.

Minamino scored one goal and one assist against PSG. In the 22nd minute of the first half, when Donnarumma was under pressure during the rear build-up, the urgent kick went to Minamino right in front of him. Minamino fired a powerful shot after chest trapping, and the ball went through goalkeeper Donnarumma.

In addition, Minamino passed a penetration pass in the 31st minute of the second half, and Balogun calmly finished in the corner of the goal in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. Minamino won the team's highest rating with a 7.8 rating based on the soccer statistics media "Huscoord Dotcom."

PSG and Monaco will face off in March next year. Depending on the situation at the time, Lee Kang-in and Minamino may target each other's goals.

PSG opened the door. In the 6th minute of the first half, Harmus, who received a pass from Mukiele, shot from the outside of the penalty box. The ball flew rather honestly and was caught by the goalkeeper. Monaco fought back. In the 7th minute of the first half, the ball was put into the box from the right side. Minamino caught it and shot it, and the ball deflected off the defense and shook the side net.

PSG's opportunity has been destroyed. In the 8th minute of the first half, the ball was delivered to Mbappe following Lewis and Harmus. After entering the penalty box, Mbappe opened the gap with the defender with a step over and shot. However, he failed to score as he was caught in the hands of the goalkeeper.

Monaco hit the ground. In the 11th minute of the first half, Magasa shot a free header in a corner kick situation. Goalkeeper Donnarumma threw himself into the top of the goal. Monaco's score was cancelled. In the 14th minute of the first half, goalkeeper Donnarumma hit Balogun's shot in front of the penalty box. Van der Song shot a drop in front of the goal, and goalkeeper Donnarumma blocked it again. As the ball flowed again, Van der Song pushed it in. However, as a result of VAR, the location of Balogun's first penetration was declared offside.

PSG swallowed the disappointment. In the 17th minute of the first half, an exquisite pass was supplied between the defensive lines. After Hakimi penetrated, the goalkeeper blocked the shot from the gate. Then he scored shortly afterwards. In the 18th minute of the first half, Dembele shot from a diagonal direction inside the penalty box and missed the ball as the goalkeeper failed to catch it properly. Harmus didn't miss this and scored by touching the ball.

Monaco struck a balance. In the 22nd minute of the first half, when Donnarumma was under pressure during the rear build-up, the urgent kick went to Minamino right in front of him. Minamino fired a powerful shot after chest trapping, and the ball went through goalkeeper Donnarumma.

PSG failed to take the lead again. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Hakimi, who received a through pass, gave it to the center of the penalty box after overlapping. The goalkeeper blocked Mbappe's kick into the corner of the goal from a no-mark chance with a diving save.

Dembele's activism shone through. In the 38th minute, Magasa put his foot up to clear Monaco's penalty box. At this time, Dembele quickly approached and tried to compete. The referee declared a penalty as Magasa's foot hit Dembele. Mbappe stepped up as a kicker, and finished neatly with the top left. Mbappe did not perform a ceremony as a courtesy to his old team.

Donnarumma made up for it. In the 45th minute of the first half, the ball deflected and headed to Minamino during Golovin's breakthrough. goalkeeper Donnarumma reached out and blocked Minamino's no-mark chance shot right in front of the goal. The first half of extra time was given three minutes and ended with PSG's 2-1 lead.

Monaco missed the opportunity. In the second half of the second half, Golovin handed over a pass in exquisite time, and Minamino fired a left-footed shot after trapping in the penalty box. Goalkeeper Donnarumma reached out and hit it.

A dizzying situation has emerged. In the 15th minute of the second half, Harmus and Van der Song collided with each other in PSG's free-kick situation. The two fell to the ground as they were. Fortunately, it did not lead to a major injury, and both players were put back on the pitch.

PSG has widened the gap further. In the 25th minute of the second half, he got a free kick from the midfield and Lewis quickly kicked a long kick towards Dembele, who was rushing from the right. Dembele entered the penalty box after a sensational trapping and scored with a powerful right-footed shot from a position with little angle.

PSG replaced it. In the 27th minute of the second half, Harmus and Dembele were called in and Colomuani and Barcola were sent in. Then PSG sealed the net. Vitinha, who received Mbappe's pass, curled it in front of the penalty box. The ball went through the corner of the par post. The score is 4-1.

Monaco chased. In the 31st minute of the second half, Balogun, who received Minamino's penetration pass, calmly finished in the corner of the goal in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

Monaco used a replacement card. In the 34th minute of the second half, Van der Song and Minamino were taken out, and Kreppin Diata and Magnes Aclioche were added. PSG also responded. In the 37th minute of the second half, Lewis entered the bench and Soler stepped on the ground.

Monaco swallowed its regret. In the 40th minute of the second half, Golovin's bold shot from a diagonal direction inside the penalty box went off the goal. In the 44th minute of the second half, Ben Yedder's shot was blocked by Donnarumma. In the 45th minute of the second half, Zakaria's corner kick header was slightly off the side of the net.

He was given six minutes of extra time in the second half. Just before the end, PSG scored. Hakimi put it on the door, and the goalkeeper hit it. Kolomuani caught it and scored with a calm shot. It ended with PSG's 5-2 victory.

Injured ward Tottenham to hire Argentina MF, who was on loan

Coach Anji Postecoglou, who had been suffering from a long line of injury wards, said he would actively utilize Giovanni Lo Celso, which he had only used as a replacement for a while.

Coach Postecoglou attended a pre-match press conference against Aston Villa at the team's training ground, Hotspurway, outside London, England, on the 24th and opened up about whether to use Rossellso.

Tottenham will face Aston Villa in the 13th round of the 2023/24 season Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 11 p.m. on the 26th.

For Tottenham, which is losing two consecutive games, it is a game that can seek a turnaround after the A-match break.

Tottenham fell to fourth place (8 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, 26 points) in the league after losing consecutive games to Chelsea and Wolverhampton.

On the contrary, Aston Villa have been on the rise with three wins, one draw and one loss in the last five games, except for the 0-2 defeat of the visiting shock of Nottingham Forest in the 10th round. It is already fifth (8 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses, 25 points) to chase Tottenham to the bottom.

Tottenham is currently in an injury ward. In particular, there was a lot of bleeding against Chelsea in the 10th round. Center back Mickey Pantherben suffered a hamstring injury, and offensive midfielder James Maddison suffered an ankle injury and is currently wearing a splint.

In addition, Tottenham's Hisharlisson, Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon and promising center back Ashley Phillips were also injured. It is known that Papematar Sardo is also in need of a test.

In the meantime, it is Rossellso who has been named as a replacement for Madison. He joined Tottenham in the summer of 2020, but was not utilized for a while. After failing to take the main spot for about a year and a half, he wanted time to play and chose to loan Villarreal in January 2022.

This was a stroke of God for the player himself. Rossellso announced a brilliant revival by leading Villarreal to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.

Villarreal also wanted Rossellso and the player spent the entire 2022/23 season on loan at Villarreal. He was unable to participate in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which was held that year due to injury in early November, but he played 1,128 minutes in 22 league games this season, becoming the team's necessary offensive option.

Rossellso, who returned to Tottenham after last season, is now often seen as a replacement. He played three league games as a substitute this season and also appeared in the 12th round away game at Wolverhampton, playing for 14 minutes.

Several teams showed interest in Rossellso this season as well. The British media Evening Standard also said, "Barcelona, Atletico and Real Betis showed interest in Rossellso." But Tottenham are not expected to sell him.

"I've been watching him well even when he played for Tottenham and other clubs," Postecoglou said of Rossellso, adding, "I can confirm that he is a quality player. He's had a tough season. He had some injuries and couldn't have a proper season," he said.

"Roselso is one of the many players who have to have a good season." He is also a very creative player. He trains really hard on the team. "I will get the opportunity to play in the next few weeks and create influence," he said, expressing his intention to use the game in the future.

Rosselso helped Niklas Otamendi score the winning goal in the 2026 North and Central America (Canada, U.S., Mexico) World Cup South American qualifying match between Brazil and Argentina during the A match in November. 스포츠토토

With Madison's return likely in January next year, Tottenham, which has to pass the boxing day without him, is expected to revive its destructive power in the offense if it knows how to use Rossellso well.

Interest in Asian Quarter and Transfer Life Activities

The regular league will play a total of 252 games, 126 games each for men and women, over six rounds until March 17, 2024. The postseason will run from March 20 to 27 if semi-playoffs are held, and the subsequent championship game will be held from March 28 to April 6 in a best-of-five series.

Meanwhile, there will be several changes this season, including the selection of foreign players in the Asian quarter and changes in some tournament management guidelines. Among them, I would like to introduce the main contents as a point of view.

Asian players to be on the court anew
Asian players from six countries, Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, will play on the court through the Asian Quarter System, which was introduced to the V-League for the first time this season.

First of all, in the men's division, there are Mongolian duo Eddie (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance) and Bayarsaihan (OK Financial Group), who came to Korea in 2017 and graduated from Sungkyunkwan University and Inha University, respectively. The two players entered the V-League six years after going to Korea, and Eddie, in particular, reunited with his teacher Kim Sang-woo in the professional team when he was a student at Sungkyunkwan University.

Meanwhile, Tsai Pei-chang, a mid-blocker for the Taiwanese national team who was called by Hyundai Capital, was selected as the best middle blocker in the 22-23 season in his own league, and Liu Hong-min (KB Insurance), an outside heater for the Taiwanese national team, also played in several leagues, including Japan and Thailand, as well as Taiwan.

In addition, like Libero Ryohei Iga (Korea Electric Power Corporation), who played for the Panasonic Panthers in Japan's V. League until last season, Apojit Issei Otake (Woori Card), a former Japanese national team player who has won two league titles and won second place, and Mark Espejo (Korean Air), a Filipino outside heater who has been active in the national team since he was selected for the Philippine national team at the age of 18 in 2015, are preparing to participate.

In the women's division, three Thai players who played in the Hangzhou Asian Games, including the last VNL, are drawing attention. They include the main setter Ponfun Gedfard (IBK Industrial Bank), Apojit Tanacha Suksot (Korea Expressway Corporation), and the outside heater Wipawi Shitong (Hyundai Engineering & Construction). Expectations are high on whether his wonderful performance in international competitions will continue in the V-League.

Meanwhile, Megawatty Puttiwi, who was nominated by Jeong Kwan-jang, was selected as the best Apogit Spiker of the tournament, leading Indonesia to the runner-up at the 2023 Asian Volleyball Federation (AVC) Challenger Cup Women's Championship held in June. Megawatti will play in hijab, a traditional Islamic women's outfit, and it is expected that there will be an unprecedented scene in the history of the V-League.

In addition, middle blocker MJ Phillips of Pepper Savings Bank, who is mixed race between the United States and the Philippines, has played in the Philippine League after graduating from U.S. college, and GS Caltex Iris Tolenada has won various individual awards in his own league. Heungkuk Life's Reina Tokoku, who has a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother, also played in the Japanese Super League for four years and advanced to the Finnish league in the 22-23 season to gain experience in overseas leagues.

Meanwhile, foreign players are from Cuba, Spain, Australia, Libya, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and five U.S., Bosnia, Cameroon, Cuba, and Serbia. Including Asian quarter players, a total of 16 foreign players will be available on the court this season.

Changes in the management guidelines for the 23-24 season
With the entry of foreign players in the Asian quarter, the management guidelines for the number of players seated on the team's bench and the number of players participating in each team have changed.

First of all, with the addition of interpreters for Asian quarter players, the number of teams that can sit on the bench, including existing coaches, coaches, trainers, duties, interpreters and managers, has increased from 10 to 12. In addition, the number of players for each team in the men's and women's divisions was clearly marked with 16 and 20 players, including foreign and Asian quarter players, from 14 men's and 18 women's teams without foreign players.

Next, there will be a change in the reward and punishment regulations at the time of set exit due to insulting behavior. The previous one-game suspension and penalty of 300,000 won have been changed to 500,000 won this season without suspension.

Players and coaches meet in a new team
There are not only players in the Asian quarter, but also players preparing for the opening of the league in a new team for the new season.

Major transfer players include Hwang Seung-bin, who transferred to KB Insurance through a one-on-one trade, Han Sung-jung, who returned to Woori Card after a year and a half, and Song Hee-chae of OK Financial Group and Song Myung-geun of Woori Card, who exchanged each other's uniforms. 스포츠토토

In the women's division, Park Jung-ah and Jung Dae-young, the main players of the Korea Expressway Corporation's victory last season, moved to Pepper Savings Bank and GS Caltex, respectively, and Hwang Min-kyung moved to IBK Industrial Bank and Kim Soo-ji to Heungkuk Life Insurance. Attention is focusing on how veteran players, who are still showing good skills, will perform after the transfer.

In addition, the men's OK Financial Group coach Oh Gi-no and the women's Pepper Savings Bank coach Joe Trinji will make their first regular league debuts since taking office.

A feast of living legends' records
It is noteworthy how long the records of veteran players, who are currently ranked first in each category, will continue. First of all, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Yang Hyo-jin is on the verge of 1,500 blocking points with 1,451 points in the women's division, and Korea Expressway Corporation's Lim Myeong-ok has 15,995 defensive successes, leaving only five defensive successes to reach 16,000 defense successes.

In the men's division, Korea Electric Power Corporation's Shin Young-seok is looking at 1,200 points in total blocking with 1,146 points, while Korean Air's Han, who recorded 17,551 set success, is aiming for 18,000 set success.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who has lost power and attack power

Until last season, the powerful offense disappeared. The hot outer artillery, which was a long-term organ, decreased and was hit hard. Defending champion Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang has been struggling since the beginning of the season.

Jeong Kwan-jang lost 75-86 in the 2023-2024 professional basketball home game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 31st of last month. Jeong Kwan-jang, who seemed to rebound from Suwon KT after losing the opening game against Seoul SK, failed to continue his momentum and collapsed once again.

Last season alone, Jeong Kwan-jang boasted his excellent attack ability to rank third 82.0 on average after SK and Hyundai Mobis. However, he has been at the bottom with an average of 70.7 points in three games since the opening of this season. It is also about three points different from KT 73.5 points, which is the top ranking.

The biggest reason why Jeong Kwan-jang's offense has weakened is the power of the remarkably weakened three-point shot. Jeong Kwan-jang made an average of 8.9 three-pointers per game last season, ranking second overall. It also ranked second with a 33.9 percent success rate. The driving force behind Jeong Kwan-jang's victory in the regular league, the championship game, and the East Asian Super League EASL was a three-point shot.

However, this season, he is at the bottom of both categories with an average of 4.7 three-point shots per game and a 22.2% success rate. Even though he played only three games, he is very concerned.

In fact, it was somewhat expected. Ahead of this season, Oh Se-geun SK and Moon Sung-gon KT, the main players of last season's integrated championship, were transferred as free agents. On top of that, Byun Joon-hyung, a "field commander," joined the military. And Omari Spellman, a foreign player with a reputation for attack, was diagnosed with a left shin fracture early last month and will not be able to play for seven weeks. 토토사이트

With all the clear scorers gone, it became easier for the opponent to defend against Jeong Kwan-jang. As there are no players who will lead the opponent's defense, chances are rarely created on the outskirts. He ranked second last season 26.4 in average three-point shooting attempts per game, but the number has decreased significantly to 21.0 this season. Many of the three-point shots that even try are "tough shots" thrown in situations where there is defense. In the match against Hyundai Mobis, he only succeeded by throwing 22 three-point shots.

Head coach Kim Sang-sik knows the problem well, but he is worried that there is no solution. Coach Kim said, "Three-point shots have a big problem with concentration. However, some of us don't throw too many shots, he said. "It's very difficult to create a chance because all our players are being marked one-on-one."

"MLB Star" Harper "Everyone's dream to participate in the Olympics"

Returning to the official sport of baseball at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
"Please allow MLB, team owners, and players to participate."

Major League superstars also dream of participating in the Olympics.

According to ESPN on the 17th, Bryce Harper (31, Philadelphia Phillies) said, "I hope the Major League Secretariat will allow players to participate in the Olympics."

Harper told his wife in an interview ahead of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Arizona Diamondbacks on his 31st birthday. It was revealed that it received a text message saying, "I think one of your birthday wishes has come true."

One of my wishes is to participate in the Olympics.

"I don't know if the team will want me because I'm old by the time (in 2028), but I don't know," Harper said, showing his ambition, saying, "It's everyone's dream to participate in the Olympics."

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) held a general meeting the previous day and decided to return baseball and softball to the 2028 LA Olympics.

Baseball was an official Olympic sport from 1992 Barcelona to 2008 Beijing. After that, he was excluded from the Olympics and returned to Tokyo in 2020, but was excluded again in Paris in 2024.

Baseball is back in LA, but it is still unclear whether major leaguers will be able to play.

Even when baseball was held as an official event, the Major League Baseball Secretariat did not allow players to be transferred, citing that they were in the middle of the season. For this reason, the U.S. started the Olympics by forming a team mainly for minor leaguers. 토토사이트

Harper hopes the MLB Secretariat and owners will make different decisions ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. "It's going to be really cool and fun," he said. "I want to represent the United States in a top-level competition with 'USA' on my chest. "There is also the World Baseball Classic (WBC), but it is not an Olympics," he said, raising expectations for his participation in the Olympics.

Harper, who won the Rookie of the Year award as soon as he entered the big league through the Washington National League in 2012, has established himself as a star representing the big league. In 1,508 games, he had a batting average of 0.281, 306 homers, 889 RBIs, 997 runs and 133 steals, and was also named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) twice. In March 2019, he signed a 13-year, $330 million (about 445.3 billion won), the highest amount of free agent at the time, and handed it to Philadelphia.
