'Monster Defender' Kim Min-jae, there was a reason for his poor performance last season

I completely forgot about my poor performance in the last season. Kim Min-jae (27) has shown solid performance in Bayern Munich.

On the 24th, Munich won a 14-1 victory over Rotach Egern in a pre-season friendly at Sportplatz Birkenmos in Tegernje, Germany.

Kim played as a substitute at the start of the second half, and played with freshman Hiroki Ito. Unlike Eric Dier, who lost a point in the first half by mistake, Kim Min-jae, who proved his solid defense, made a significant contribution to losing no points in the second half.

What caught the eye was Kim Min-jae wearing the captain's armband. Although it may be difficult to make an objective evaluation as the opponent is the opponent, it shows that Bang Sang Kompany trusts Kim Min-jae quite a lot.

Kim Min-jae suffered from a slump after visiting the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar last season. Not only did he give up the starting position to Matheis Dirigt and Dyer, but he was also cited as the main culprit behind his elimination from the UEFA Champions League.

Ahead of the pre-season, Kim was "jealous." After getting a short haircut, Kim focused 100 percent on training and received rave reviews from Coach Kompany, and did not waste time studying German.

Munich released a video clip of Kim Min-jae taking classes in German on its social network service (SNS) on Saturday. "Kim Min-jae is learning German. How well he is learning German." 슬롯사이트 순위

German media, which had been busy leaving harsh comments on Kim on his positive side, also gave a thumbs-up. German media outlet TZ reported that "Kim Min-jae seems to have become a new person. His appearance and attitude have all changed. He also gave instructions in German," adding that "Coach Kompany cheered loudly when he saw Kim Min-jae's training performance. Rumors have it that the Munich management is also satisfied."

The U.S. Dream Team Can't Stop 'Basketball Master' Alone

Even Nikola Jokic, the MVP of the National Basketball Association (NBA), could not stop LeBron James and Kevin Durant from playing. With Durant recovering from injury, the U.S. basketball team's offensive has become more powerful.

The U.S. national basketball team easily defeated Serbia 110-84 in the men's first Group C match of the 2024 Paris Olympics held at Pierre Morua Stadium in Paris, France. It was the first game that was different from the previous pre-tournament evaluation matches against South Sudan or Germany. 바카라사이트

The U.S. team, which is trying to win its fifth consecutive Olympic title, is also called the "Dream Team" as it consists of top NBA players including LeBron, Stephen Curry, Durant and Joel Embiid. For Durant, who missed five warm-up matches due to injury before the tournament, the game was his debut on the stage this summer.

Durant, the gold medalist at the 2012 London, 2016 Rio de Janeiro, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is aiming for the fourth consecutive gold medal in basketball history. LeBron, who won the bronze medal at his debut Olympics in 2004, won the gold medal at the 2008 and 2012 competitions, but did not participate at the Rio and Tokyo competitions.

Opponent Serbia is also a strong team with "Basketball Doctor" Jokic, who is ranked fourth in the FIBA rankings and three-time NBA MVP, holding out, but was completely defeated by the U.S. by 26 points.

The U.S. scored 23 points (2 rebounds), with Durant scoring all five 3-point shots, and LeBron also scored 21 points (9 assists, 7 rebounds).

In Serbia, Jokic worked hard with 20 points (8 assists, 5 rebounds), but there was no player to support.

Along with the U.S. and Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico belong to Group C. The U.S. will play the second match against South Sudan on August 1. South Sudan defeated Puerto Rico 90-79 on the day.

"Even though it's Ito's injury, Kim Minjae sells and sees?

The claim that Bayern Munich could sell Kim Min-jae (28) was raised once again.

"The central defender Hiroki Ito will be mainly used as a left fullback in Munich. Therefore, it will not have much impact on the central defender's transfer plan," the German daily Kicker reported on the 29th. "Munich can give up his existing central defender to recruit new defenders. Matthijs de Ligt may be one of them."

"A week ago, Honorary Chairman Uli Hönes said, "There is no problem even if The Ligt stays. I will not sell Dayo Upamecano. Last season, Eric Dier was a relatively low-paid and reliable player. There is still a possibility of Kim Min-jae being sold. Only then can Yonatantha's transfer attract attention again."

In other words, Munich classified Hiroki as a side fullback and could sell Der Ligt and Kim Min-jae and recruit a new defender, Ta.

However, this is not an unfamiliar story. Among the news on the transfer market in Munich this summer, the most frequently heard stories were reorganization of defense and changes in the composition of existing lineup.

This began with the prospect of using new soccer in line with the style he pursues after joining the new coach Bang Sang Kompany. In fact, after taking office, Kompany hired Hiroki, the runner-up of Stuttgart last season, and Josip Stanisic, who helped win the Leverkusen title last season, on loan.

On top of that, Munich is considering recruiting Leverkusen's defense as a nuclear hitter. In response, there are constant reports on Kim Min-jae's position.

Recently, however, it has been reported that the situation has changed as Ito was injured during a pre-season friendly match with FC Duren. Florian Plattenberg, a reporter of Sky Sports Germany, who is fluent in Munich news, said, "Hiroki could miss up to three months due to a broken metatarsal bone in his right foot." As a result, the opinion that Munich may not sell Kim Min-jae and The Licht in preparation for the upcoming season gained strength.

However, the "kicker" had a different idea. Aside from Ito's injury, they categorized Kim Min-jae and The Licht as targets for sale, and predicted that other recruitment will continue as planned. 토토사이트

Drunken, Visual Shock Crazy Reason for Travelling

Jack Grealish never imagined he would miss Euro 2024.

This summer Grealish has been an issue maker throughout his pre-season break. After being dropped from the final squad for the Euros for England, Grealish has had a truly profligate life.

In order to forget the despair of not being able to compete in the Euros, Grealish first leaned on the alcohol. He was recently spotted stumbling in the hotel while solving the sadness of failing to participate in the Euros with alcohol. In early June, The Sun reported that "Grealish appeared to be receiving a helping hand while walking through a luxury hotel, and his hair in the sun was droopy."

Grealish's image in the picture was already intoxicated and unable to walk properly without the help of people around him. It was Grealish going out to enjoy drinks and parties again while intoxicated. Throughout this vacation, Grealish did not stay away from drinking.

She made headlines by wearing an unusual wig. The Sun said late last month, "Grealish was seen loosening her hair while wearing a funny wig during a luxurious trip after being dropped from the shortlist for the England national team."

Grealish has many female fans due to her handsome face and outstanding fashion sense. However, even Grealish had a fashion that was difficult to pull off. At first glance, she was seen wearing a funny blonde wig and a black hat, enjoying her vacation with her acquaintances. Still, she was not drunk at this time. It was a vacation where I could feel that Grealish was very shaken mentally. 토토사이트 모음

Grealish, who has come to his senses and returned to Manchester City, is currently on a fresh start on a tour of the U.S. with his team. He started in both of the last pre-season games and is improving his performance early on.

Grealish confessed that his elimination from the Euros was a real blow. "In terms of football, it was the hardest thing in my career that I was eliminated from England's Euros list. Whenever I enjoy my vacation, I can watch it on my phone and TV, so I feel really broken," he confessed.

Grealish decided to sublimate his disappointment of eliminating the Euro into performance. He said, "I've had a lot of ups and downs throughout my career. It's been difficult, but I hope I can use this elimination as a motivation for the new season and prove some people wrong. I will try to have the same mindset as I did in my first season at Manchester City two years ago."

How Grealish spends the upcoming season is very important. Throughout the last season, Grealish began to be gradually pushed out of Pep Guardiola's choice. His disappointing performance in Manchester City led to his elimination from the English national team. Guardiola judged that Grealish did not show a professional attitude during the season. He was pushed out of the starting lineup because he did not show good performance on the field. Considering the value of his transfer fee, he is very sluggish.

Japanese national team wins 5-0 over powerhouse Paraguay

The gap between Korean soccer and Japan is widening.

The Japanese Olympic team defeated Paraguay 5-0 at the first preliminary match of Group D of the men's soccer team for the 2023 Paris Olympics, which took place in Bordeaux, France at 2 a.m. on Saturday . Japan has become the top team in the group.

Japan's midfielder Sunsuke Mito scored multiple goals and performed very well. Shota Fujio, who replaced him in the second half, also scored two goals to lead Japan to a landslide victory. Main midfielder Koki Saito led the Japanese attack with two assists.

Paraguay's early exit from midfielder Viera in the 25th minute of the first half was a negative factor. In the end, Paraguay, where 10 people fought, failed to use their power properly and suffered a crushing defeat.

At the Paris Olympics, Japan is seriously trying to win a medal. With Mali and Israel in the same group tied 1-1, chances are high that Japan will advance to the final round as the top of the group.

At the men's soccer bronze medal match at the 2012 London Olympics, Korea led by Coach Hong Myung-bo beat Japan 2-0 due to consecutive goals scored by Park Chu-young and Koo Ja-cheol. Korea, which won at the match between Korea and Japan, achieved the highest record in men's soccer history. 슬롯사이트

Twelve years later, however, Japan has overtaken Korea far away. The Korean Olympic team, led by Hwang Sun-hong, lost 10-11 in the quarterfinals of the U23 Asian Cup after being tied 2-2 by Shin Tae-yong's Indonesia in overtime in April.

As a result, Korea failed to advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 40 years since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He also ended his consecutive appearances in the ninth inning.

It was a symbolic event of the deterioration of Korean soccer. Hwang was not able to concentrate on the Olympic team as he served as interim coach of the A-team. "Age-based national teams should be run every four years," Hwang said.

Even after failing to advance to the Olympics, however, the Korea Football Association has yet to come up with any countermeasures. Korean teams including men's soccer failed to advance to the Paris Olympics in all ball games except women's handball.

The Paris Olympics will kick off on Saturday, but people cannot fully feel the enthusiasm of the Olympics in Korea. Soccer fans are sighing at the news of Japan's good performance.
