De Gea becomes Messi's teammate... Beckham's offer to Inter Miami
Manchester United senior reached out to David de Gea, who left Manchester United.
Spanish media Football Spain reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that De Gea received a recruitment offer from Inter Miami in the U.S. Professional Football (MLS).
The media outlet said, "Miami owner David Beckham is trying to bring De Gea to Florida," adding, "Beckham will live up to the weekly salary he received from Manchester United."
De Gea ended his 12-year relationship with Manchester United this summer. He left Atletico Madrid in 2011 when he was 21 years old and moved to Manchester United, and immediately took over the top goalkeeper's baton from coach Edwin van der Sar. He was instrumental in Manchester United's last Premier League win in the 2012/13 season and led to the dismissal of former manager Alex Ferguson, who signed him.
De Gea went on to have a brilliant career at Manchester United. He has conceded 590 goals in 545 appearances for Manchester United and has kept 190 clean sheets. He has played 415 Premier League games, conceding 446 goals and keeping 148 clean sheets.
Including one league title, he collected many trophies by winning the UEFA Europa League and League Cup double in the 2016/17 season, the FA Cup in the 2015/16 season, and the League Cup in the 2022/23 season.
His personal award history is also impressive. In 2018, he was selected as one of the World's Best Eleven by FIFA and the Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPro), and won the Golden Glove in the 2017/18 season and the previous 2022/23 season. He is a goalkeeper who has really maintained his skills consistently.
De Gea, who showed excellent saving skills, ended his contract with Manchester United at the end of the summer, and negotiations for a new contract with the club continued, but the negotiations fell through. Manchester United failed to reach consensus as they proposed a pay cut to De Gea one after another. At the time of his last contract, it was reported that De Gea was worth 5,000 pounds (605.93 million won).
Afterwards, Manchester United contacted several goalkeepers and recruited André Onana, a goalkeeper with good feet, who was needed under coach Eric Tun Haag.
De Gea said goodbye to Manchester United fans through his social networking service (SNS) last July. He said, "I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love I have received over the past 12 years. Since dear Coach Ferguson recruited me to this club, we have achieved a lot of success," and added, "I will wear this uniform, lead the team, and represent this club." “I felt tremendous pride every time I did it,” he said. 스포츠토토
He added: "Playing for the biggest club in the world is an honor that very few footballers can achieve. It's been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. When I left Madrid as a boy, I never thought we would be so successful together. Now it's a new day. "It's time to push myself and take on new challenges. Manchester will always be in my heart, it made me and it will never leave me."
Even after De Gea became invincible, he also did personal training in Manchester. Meanwhile, he rejected offers from not only Türkiye, but also Real Betis (Spain) and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia especially offered to pay him 500,000 pounds (about 807 million won), which is more than his weekly salary at Manchester United. That club was Al Nasr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays.
However, De Gea turned down the huge offer as he was not interested in his wife living in the Middle East.
De Gea married Spanish actor Edurne, whom he had been dating for over 12 years, last July. The two, who had been in a romantic relationship for a while but also have a 2-year-old daughter born in 2021, became legally married by getting married.
As curiosity grew about which team would be the next destination for De Gea, who rejected the Al Nassr offer because he did not want his wife to leave Europe and head to the Middle East, Inter Mymaemi was selected as one of the destination candidates.
Meanwhile, Beckham recruited Lionel Messi, whose contract with PSG expired this summer. Messi gave Beckham the League Cup (US-Mexico League Cup), the first trophy since its founding.
4th quarter buzzer beater… 36-point home run heats up American basketball
The Chase Center, home of the Golden State of the National Basketball Association (NBA) on the 19th. Andrew Wiggins (Golden State) hit a 3-pointer on the opponent's Oklahoma City rim with 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter to go 117-114. The home fans, who were confident of escaping five consecutive losses, were enthusiastic, but the Golden State fans tilted their heads three seconds later. This is because the team was put into overtime after hitting a 3-point shot at the buzzer at the end of the fourth quarter.
The main character of buzzer beater, which tied 117-117, was Oklahoma City's "Big Man" Chet Holmgrun (21). Home Grun, who received a pass with 1.6 seconds left in the fourth quarter, won the game with a reverse shot as the opponent's defense followed. The ball left Homerun's hand and split the rim with 0.7 seconds left. It was after the final buzzer sounded as Home Grun's 3-pointer passed through the rim. On the day, Oklahoma City won 130-123 in overtime to win four consecutive games. Oklahoma City guard Shay Gilgeous Alexander said, "The home run took the team another five minutes. Five minutes was enough to win," he said. Gilgeous Alexander, who scored 40 points on the day, scored 10 points in extra time alone.
Homegrun led the team to victory with 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists on this day. He also recorded two blocked shots. Homegrun is a ‘2nd year rookie’. He was selected 2nd overall in the NBA draft in June of last year and wore an Oklahoma City uniform. However, last season, he suffered an ankle injury before the start of the season and was unable to play a single game. This is why he is being mentioned as a candidate for Rookie of the Year this season, even though it is his second year as a professional. Yahoo Sports in the U.S. covered the results of the game that day and said, “Homegrun scored more than 30 points in a game for the first time, once again showing that Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio) is not the only player in the Rookie of the Year race. “As of now, either of the two players deserves to be named Rookie of the Year.” 먹튀검증
Holmgrun, who has played 13 games this season, is averaging 17.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. His 2.2 individual blocked shots are 5th in the entire league. Homegrun is evaluated as a complete rookie with both offensive and defensive abilities. He himself said, “I can do anything well, whether it’s offense or defense. He is also good at blocking shots. “I am a player who knows how to create scoring opportunities for the team even when I don’t have the ball,” he said, showing confidence. Holmgrun, the best player (MVP) of the 2021 International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Under-19 World Cup, was a promising national star, receiving offers of 'scholarship admission' from more than 30 universities ahead of high school graduation.
In particular, Homegrun boasts a high shooting success rate even though he is a 216cm center. This season, Homegrun is recording a success rate of 54.6% on field goals, 43.8% on 3-point shots, and 90.4% on free throws. He is listed in the '180 Club' (50% field goal shooting, 40% 3-point shooting, and over 90% free throw success rate), which is a symbol of 'highly efficient shooter'. Stephen Curry (Golden State), the NBA's leading shooter, is recording a success rate of 47.9% on field goals, 44.7% on 3-point shots, and 93.3% on free throws this season.
Germany is also concerned about Kim Min-jae's abuse
Concerned about the overuse of Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who is rarely able to rest with his team and national team in Germany, he mentioned the need for rest.
German media outlet Sport 1 reported on the 15th (Korean time), “Kim Min-jae played 97% of the games between Bayern Munich and the Korean national soccer team this season. He shows no signs of resting in the future.”
He continued, "Kim Min-jae has to travel 20,000 km during the international match period. After playing against Singapore in Korea, he flies another 2,000 km to play in China." “We have to do it beforehand. Kim Min-jae will also start against Cologne unless something goes wrong. There is no player in Bayern Munich who can replace him,” he added.
As the media mentioned, Kim Min-jae is playing games without stopping this season. Kim Min-jae has started all of Bayern Munich's 17 games so far except for the second round of the DFB Pokal. He was also called up to all A matches held in England and Korea in September and October and started as a starter in 4 games.
Kim Min-jae, who has been in charge of Bayern Munich's defense since the beginning of the season, is not expected to rest for some time. Bayern Munich started this season with three central defenders: Kim Min-jae, Matthias de Ligt, and Dayot Upamecano.
However, as De Ligt was injured in the pre-season, he needed time to improve his condition at the beginning of the season. Since then, Upamecano and De Ligt have suffered injuries in turns, leaving Kim Min-jae to play without rest.
Accordingly, Bayern Munich general manager Christoph Freud sympathizes with Kim Min-jae's physical difficulties, saying, "Kim Min-jae plays 90 minutes in every game. A momentary lack of concentration is a natural phenomenon 토토사이트
Sport 1 said, "The monster will not complain (in a situation where he cannot rest). He probably joined Bayern Munich to play high-intensity soccer," but added, "Kim Min-jae may get tired at some point. Rest must be given at the right time." “I do it,” he emphasized.
