Who is the best soccer player in 2023?

Elling Hallan was named the best football player of 2023.

"score90," which produces soccer content, posted the players' rankings, saying they were the "Top 50 of the best players in 2023." The media made the posts based on the rankings announced by "4FOTU."

Manchester City's flagship striker Elling Holan has been named the best player of 2023. The nickname "the best striker" is not a waste. Last season alone, he scored 52 goals in 53 games. He contributed the most to Manchester City's treble.

He was the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League and the Golden Boot in the English Premier League. Notably, Harry Kane scored 30 goals in the PL, but Hallan scored a whopping 36 goals.

It swept the individual awards. It monopolized the UEFA Striker of the Year and Player of the Year awards. It also received the PFA Player of the Year, FWA Player of the Year award. It even ranked second in the Ballon d'Or.

He has displayed stellar performance in this season as well. He has 19 goals and five assists in 22 games. Holan 14 goals is currently the top scorer in PL.

Coming in second is Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid's new ace. Since joining Real Madrid ahead of this season, he has scored 17 goals and five assists in 21 matches. Although his team has been criticized for its rather stuffy tactics recently, it was thanks to him that he was able to rank No. 1 in the Spanish Primera Liga.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the only player who scored 10 goals in the first 10 games since joining Real Madrid, with Bellingham named. British media "Talk Sports" said, "Bellingham is the first player to score 10 goals in his first 10 games since joining Real Madrid since Ronaldo in the 2009/10 season."

He also set a new record that Ronaldo failed to set. Bellingham scored consecutive goals in the first three UCL matches. This is the second milestone that has been set since Christian Karembu in 1998. 토토사이트

Harry Kane was ranked third. Bayern Munich, which is aiming to win the UCL, had been aiming for Kane throughout the last transfer window. There was also a report that Thomas Tuchel, the coach of Munich, persuaded him directly. As such, Munich desperately wanted Kane.

As a result, Kane moved to Bayern Munich. As if he didn't need adjustment, Kane became a key striker. He has scored 25 goals and eight assists in 22 games this season. He boasts of not only scoring goals but also assists.

Kane was followed by Kylian Mbappe Paris Saint-Germain, Rodri Man City, Lionel Messi Inter Miami, Bernardo Silva Man City, Mohamed Salah Liverpool, Antoine Griezmann Atletico Madrid, and Vinicius Junior Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, the captain of the Korean national soccer team and an active player for Tottenham Hotspur, ranked 30th. Kim Min-jae, who shares a room with Kane, ranked 47th.

Munich Will Bring a '19-year-Old New Player In Latch Defense'

Bayern Munich, which is looking for a partner for Kim Min-jae 27, is keeping an eye on Giorgio Scalvini 19, the future of Italy's latch defense.

"Munich has entered the race to recruit Scalvini," adding, "Scalvini is currently attracting attention from Serie A prestigious Inter Milan and Juventus."

Scalvini, a 19-year-old rookie center back, has been called the future of Italian latch defense. He grew up in the Atalanta youth team from the age of 11 and made his professional debut at the age of 17 in the 2021-2022 season. He has scored four goals in 72 games for Atlanta so far.

Scarvini, who had been drawing attention as a soft-skinned cotyledon since he was young, played for the Italian national team by age. He made his A-match debut in June last year when he was just 18 years old as a substitute in the second half of the match against Germany.

Scalvini, who is 194 centimeters tall and weighs 88 kilograms, boasts strong power and ability to control balls in the air. He also has defensive intelligence and a sense of pass. He is also capable of dribbling through mid- to long-distance passes, distance from the ball directly, and penetration to the upper level. However, he needs more experience as he sometimes presents shortcomings of his tall center back, such as struggling with fast-paced players.

Scalvini has a contract with Atalanta until June 2027. It seems that he will leave Atalanta soon as big clubs continue to woo him. Naturally, Atlanta also has no intention of giving away Scalvini easily. The transfer fee is expected to start at least 40 million euros about 56.6 billion won. 스포츠토토

This is not the first time that Munich has shown interest in Scalvini. He observed Scalvini before turning his attention to Kim last summer. Bild said, "Munich focused on Scalvini last summer. It is a well-known fact that Munich is constantly monitoring him." "Munich is paying close attention to Serie A matches. I once brought Matthias de Licht from Juventus last year."

Napoli also looked into Scalvini as a substitute for Kim Min-jae, who left for Munich last summer. Tottenham, which was looking for a center back at the time, was also paying keen attention. According to Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European transfer market, however, Tottenham turned their attention to another player when Atalanta demanded an "unbelievable amount" of money after showing interest in Scalvini. Consequently, Tottenham bought 50 million euros 70.8 billion won for Mickey Vanderben, not Scalvini. The recruitment was a success. Vanderben started every game and defended hard before getting injured in the last match against Chelsea.

If Scalvini comes to Munich, there is a high possibility that he will work with his main defender Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae, who has been under controversy over his abuse by playing full-time for almost all games this season, is taking a rest because the Bundesliga match was canceled due to heavy snow in the Munich area.

Will NC, which is waiting for 20 wins and 209K ace, return to Game 3

The timing of NC Dinos Eric Peddy (30)'s appearance is still hidden.

NC beat SSG Landers 4-3 in the first round of the postseason semi-playoff of the '2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League' at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd.

NC, which failed to take the mound after ace Eric Peddy suffered a bruised right forearm after being hit by a pitch against KIA on the 16th, put Shin Min-hyuk as the starting pitcher in Game 1 of the semi-playoff. Shin Min-hyuk, who had no experience in autumn baseball, was concerned, but he set the stage for his team's victory by pitching five ⅔ innings with four hits, one walk, and three strikeouts.

NC, which had an advantage in advancing to the playoffs by securing an important first game, predicted Song Myung-ki as a starting pitcher in the second game. Song Myung-ki, who recorded 4 wins, 9 losses and a 4.83 ERA in 35 games (104 ⅓ innings) this season, led NC to its first championship in the 2020 Korean Series with one win and one hold average of 0.00 in two games (6 innings). However, it is also true that it is a somewhat disappointing starting card compared to ace Peddy.

Peddy had an overwhelming season this season with 30 games (180 ⅓ innings) with 20 wins, 6 losses and a 2.00 ERA. He struck out 209 and achieved a triple crown (multiple wins, ERA, and strikeouts). Peddy is the fifth player in KBO league history to achieve 20 wins and 200 strikeouts at the same time. Peddy's appearance, the most reliable starting card, is an important variable that can determine the direction of the semi-playoff.

Fortunately, Peddy avoided a major injury in his last appearance of the season, but he has rarely returned to the mound. He was not included in the entry at all in the wild card game, and his return in both the first and second games failed in the semi-playoffs.

Coach Kang In-kwon said in an interview after the game, "Song Myung-ki will be the starting pitcher tomorrow. Peddy threw 19 pitches in the bullpen today. I'm in about 90 percent physical condition now. I think it will be difficult to take the mound tomorrow just because I have anxiety. I will make a decision by looking at his recovery," he said, explaining Pedi's physical condition.

Peddy, who even failed to take the mound in Game 2, is likely to take the mound in Game 3 of the semi-playoff at NC Park in Changwon on the 25th. NC, which sank SSG foreign pitcher Roenis Elias in Game 1 of the semi-playoff, will face SSG domestic ace Kim Kwang-hyun in Game 2. If NC catches Game 2, it may end the series in a heartbeat in Game 3. On the contrary, if NC loses and has one win and one loss, it will be very important to preempt two wins in Game 3. For NC, it is imperative that Peddy returns healthy in Game 3. 스포츠토토

Peddy, who has had a historic season since his first season in the KBO League, is likely to return to the Major League or advance to Japan after the end of the season. Perhaps this year will be the first and last season to play in the KBO League. Fans are excited about whether Peddy will be able to show the same overwhelming pitching as the regular season in fall baseball.

RYU fall baseball Challenge!

"Thank you Dodgers." Seattle and Texas lost...RYU Autumn Baseball Challenge, Space Energy Helps 'TOR Waka Return to Third Place'

Ryu Hyun-jin's former team, the LA Dodgers, defeated the Seattle Mariners after a neck-and-neck race. Ryu Hyun-jin's team, the Toronto Blue Jays, revived hope for autumn baseball again as their ranking competitors Seattle and Texas Rangers lost consecutive games side by side.

The LA Dodgers won 6-2 after a neck-and-neck race in the second game of the 2023 Major League Baseball's three-game away game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, on the 17th.

The Dodgers, ranked No. 1 in the National League West, recorded 90 wins and 57 losses in the season, confirming their second consecutive district title. On the other hand, Seattle, which lost two consecutive games, recorded 81 wins and 67 losses. He lost consecutive games at a busy time and was pushed to fourth place in the American League wild card.

A tight pitching match took place between the Dodgers and the Seattle mound. After starter Clayton Kershaw left four scoreless innings, rookie Emmett Seahann showed off a perfect pitch with one hit and five strikeouts in three innings, and Seattle also showed a salty pitching after rookie Bryce Miller's 5⅓3 scoreless innings.

The game was still 0-0 in the top of the 10th inning of extra time. Chris Taylor, who appeared on second base with no outs, made first and third base with an exquisite infield hit. Jason Hayward stepped down with a fly ball to right field, but pinch hitter Colton Wong finally broke the 0 balance with a sacrifice fly to right field with one out and full base that continued with James Outman's walk.

In the bottom of the 10th inning, the Dodgers ground Jared Kelenik to first base and Josh Rojas to third baseman. The second base with no outs was on the verge of victory with two outs and runners on second base. However, he allowed a timely RBI against Mike Ford and tied the score again 1-1. 스포츠토토

The Dodgers later faced a two-out full base crisis with J.P. Crawford's double and Julio Rodriguez's automatic fourth pitch, but they caught Teosca Hernandez with a grounder to second base and led the game to the 11th inning.

The Dodgers' batters cheered up again. Freddie Freeman struck out in the 11th inning with no outs and runners on second base, but Max Muncy took the lead with a timely RBI following Will Smith's automatic fourth pitch. Since then, Chris Taylor and Kike Hernandez have hit two-run timely hits side by side in the bases loaded with Ahmed Rosario's walk, driving the wedge of the game.

As the Dodgers caught Seattle and Texas lost to the Cleveland Guardians, competition for the American League wild card rankings reignited. While Texas remained in a narrow second place, Ryu Hyun-jin's Toronto pushed Seattle to move up to third place, the Maginot Line in autumn baseball.

Toronto had a dark cloud over its postseason challenge when it suffered a sweep loss in four consecutive Texas games during the week, but it recently changed the mood with two consecutive wins, and its rival teams are lucky to lose two consecutive games side by side, so it can re-hope.

Toronto will challenge Ryu Hyun-jin to win three consecutive games against the Boston Red Sox on the 18th.
