A lesson the 'golf legend' taught Jennifer Song

These days, Jennifer Song is obsessed with reading books. She especially motivates herself by reading books written by golf legend Gary Player.

The golf legend taught Jennifer Song how to turn her pressure into new motivation, and she's putting those lessons out on the field with her soulmate Heeyoung Yang in this Q-Series.

Jennifer Song's contract with her existing caddy expired at the end of last week, so she needed a new caddy to compete in the Q Series. He wanted to hire a friend who knew him well as a caddy rather than a professional caddy, but the process was not easy.

Jennifer Song's proposals were repeatedly rejected, and when she was falling into frustration, Yang Hee-young readily accepted Jennifer Song's proposal. And the two roamed the field together and achieved good results, ranking 27th at 10 under par through the 5th round.

In an interview with Monster Gym, Jennifer Song evaluated her play positively, saying, "My shot was a little shaky today, but if I manage the ups and downs well and find a sense of rhythm tomorrow, I think I can have a good round."

Song Min-young said that she is controlling her mind by reading Gary Player's books these days. What did the golf legend teach her? Jennifer Song, who said she has been feeling a lot of pressure lately, explained that she is learning a lot from each and every verse of Gary Player's book. 바둑이게임 ~

Jennifer Song said, "In the book, it was written that the more burden you have, the better you will be if you think of it as motivation while playing, and those words resonated with me. I am happy to think that it is a necessary process to learn in the future and become a more mature player. “I’m doing it,” he said, adding that he was learning how to overcome the pressure.

Now in the last round, Jennifer Song said, "I've done well so far, so I think I can have a good match if I play calmly with the same mindset." Regarding her future plans, Jennifer Song said, "I want to rest for now, but there's a pro-am as soon as it's over, so I have to play the second round. “I will play at home, but I will play golf because I like it, and I want to take a break for a few weeks, buy me some delicious food because Yang Hee-young helped me a lot, and spend quality time with my family,” he said.

She did not forget to express her gratitude to Yang Hee-young, who reliably stayed by Jennifer Song's side as her caddy for all six days. Jennifer Song's voice was muffled as she spoke of her message to Yang Hee-young. He said that he would do his best until the end for his best friend Yang Hee-young, saying, "It was hard after the match, and I couldn't even attend the victory party properly. Thank you for coming to help me and being a reliable friend. I will try harder."

Lastly, Jennifer Song expressed her gratitude to the fans, saying, "Thank you for your continued support. I will work hard to play calmly in order to continue playing on the LPGA tour in the future. Please give us a lot of support."

Jennifer Song is sharing the on-field lessons taught by a golf legend on the field with her best friend.

Bentancur ends up being out for 2 months... Postekoglou "I'll be back soon"

Tottenham coach Anzhi Postecoglou confirmed midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur's two-month absence and comforted him.

The yellow light in Tottenham's midfield, suffering from injuries to James Maddison and Pape Sar, changed to red.

Tottenham announced on the club's official website on the 1st (Korean time), "Coach Anzhi Postekoglou has confirmed that Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months."

Uruguayan national team midfielder Bentancur started as a central midfielder in the 13th round match of the 2023/24 Premier League season against Aston Villa held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 27th.

The Aston Villa match was a game that had special meaning for Bentancur. This is because it was his first starting game in a Tottenham uniform since his left knee cruciate ligament ruptured as a starter in the 23rd round match against Leicester City in the Premier League in the 2022/23 season last February. Bentancur smiled as he scored the first goal in an away game against Leicester City last February, but suddenly collapsed clutching his knee in the 15th minute of the second half. His knee twisted as he took a step after blocking his opponent's attack. He couldn't bear the pain, so much so that he screamed and cried.

As a result of the diagnosis, he was diagnosed with a cruciate ligament injury and was put on the operating table.

After eight months of rehabilitation, he returned to the field little by little and was named in the starting lineup for the first time in the match against Aston Villa.

However, after Lo Celso's goal in the 22nd minute of the first half, Bentancur suffered a deadly tackle that was almost retaliatory and left the ground midway through the first half. 토토사이트웹

In the 24th minute of the first half, he complained of pain after being tripped by a rough ankle tackle by away team defender Matty Cash, who is known for his roughness, during a breakthrough. The referee issued a warning to Cash for committing a dangerous foul.

It was not a foul that would end with a single yellow card. From Bentancur's point of view, it was a fatal foul that put him in the hospital again, which he barely escaped. Ben Tancur received some treatment and started playing again, but in the 30th minute of the first half, he lay down on the ground and shook his head. He indicated that he could no longer play.

Tottenham posted on the club's website on the 1st, "It has been confirmed that Bentancur suffered an injury after being examined this week," and ruled him out for 2023, saying, "Due to the injury, he is expected to be unable to play for the remainder of 2023."

Coach Postekoglou then confirmed the duration of his injury at a pre-press conference ahead of the away game against Manchester City on the 4th.

Coach Postecoglou did not hide his disappointment, saying, "It is disappointing for Bentancur. I saw him that day and the result was not good. He will probably miss a significant amount of time between now and the new year. It will probably take about two months for him to return."

“It’s disappointing because we all know how hard Bentancur has worked to come back and we’ve seen it firsthand,” Postecoglou said. “Bentancur is a really positive person. He wants to get started again as soon as possible. “I have no doubt that I will see him again soon,” he said, expressing hope for a quick return.

Coach Postekoglou has already acknowledged that the British media's suggestion that Bentancur will return at the end of February next year is in fact correct.

‘The Spurs Web’, which provides Tottenham news, introduced the games that Bentancur will miss in the future on the 29th.

Accordingly, Bentancur is expected to miss up to 15 games, including 13 Premier League games and 2 FA Cup games, starting with the Manchester City match on the 4th of next month and ending with the Chelsea match in February.

In particular, in the case of the Premier League, unlike other leagues, there are 6 games played in December, so rotation is necessary, and while 10 existing key players are injured, coach Anzhi Postekoglou, who is leading Tottenham, is worried about Bentancur. It seems unlikely.

Supernova born in 2005 with 'Kante-level force', expects a huge hit for Manchester United

Will another supernova be born at Manchester United?

Manchester United defeated Everton 3-0 in the 13th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season held at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England at 1:30 a.m. on the 27th (Korean time). As a result, Manchester United (24 points) jumped to 6th place, and Everton (4 points) remained in 19th place.

In this game, Manchester United coach Erik ten Haag made an unconventional choice. When Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount were unable to play due to injuries, the team boldly appointed Kobe Mainu, a promising player born in 2005, as a starter. Mainu is a Seonggol youth player who joined Manchester United's youth academy since he was young and has grown steadily only at Manchester United.

Coach Ten Haag immediately recognized Mainu's talent after taking charge of Manchester United in the 2022-23 season. Mainu succeeded in breaking into the first team, making his debut on 28 January 2023 in an FA Cup match against Reading. Coach Ten Haag placed high expectations on Mainu, actively hiring him from the preseason.

However, Mainu suffered an injury and was unable to receive a chance at the beginning of the season. Mainu, who had the opportunity to be selected amid injuries to the first team's main players, showed off his skills better than his seniors. Looking at the result alone, this game looks like a complete win for Manchester United, but if it were not for Andre Onana's save and the Everton players' goal-scoring ability, Manchester United would not have been able to guarantee victory. 안전놀이터

Although Manchester United was behind Everton in terms of mobility, it was Mainu who supported Manchester United a little bit. Maino, like N'Golo Kante, was involved in various parts of the pitch and brought energy to the team. His build-up skills were also excellent. He played the role of starting attack better than Scott McTominay, who had much more first-team experience. Mainu also showed decisive defense by leaping forward to clear Dwight McNeil's shot in front of the goal line in the 32nd minute of the first half.

Before being replaced by Sofiang Amrabat in the 27th minute of the second half, Mainu had a pass success rate of 83%, 2 successful dribbles (3 attempts), 6 successful passes in the offensive zone, 1 successful tackle (1 attempt), 1 interception, and a kick. He retired after showing incredible performance for someone born in 2005, including 2 bets, 1 clearing, 2 interceptions, 3 ball possession recoveries, 5 successful duels (8 attempts), and 0 fouls.

After the game, the British Manchester Evening News said, "Mainu was calm and confident from the start. His willingness to return to space to catch the ball was necessary when he was out of position. He was the best of the Manchester United players." A high rating of 8 was given.

Coach Ten Haag also said after the game: "He showed his presence in pre-season, but he has come a long way since he got injured. We prepared him well. He has played a few games and he is ready. Having a player like Mainu can help others build on that. “He can give confidence to others,” he said, evaluating Mainu’s performance positively.
