Shinhan Bank wins 59-57 against Hana One Q

Shinhan Bank laughed after the seesaw game.

Incheon Shinhan Bank Sbird won 59-57 against Bucheon Hana One Q in the fourth round of Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-2024 Women's Professional Basketball held at Dowon Gymnasium in Incheon on the 24th.

With the victory, Shinhan Bank recorded five wins and 15 losses. On the other hand, Hana One Q posted only seven wins and 13 losses as its losing streak increased to three games.

The two teams, which were performing below expectations, were fierce from the first quarter. When Shinhan Bank ran away, Hana One Q followed. Hana One Q continued its momentum to turn the game around with eight consecutive points and finished the game with a 21-19 lead in the first quarter.

The flow of Hana Q was also good in the second quarter. Kim Jong-un's outfielder Yang In-young scored stably, gradually widening the score. The first half ended with Hana Q leading 32-27. 토토사이트

The second half was turning point. In the third quarter, Shinhan Bank widened the gap to 10 points with Kim Jong-un's two free throws and Kim Si-on's three-point play.

This momentum continued in the fourth quarter as well. Shinhan Bank quickly ran away as Kang Gye-ri and Kim Sonia led the scoring race. Hana One-Q also maintained a two-point lead by narrowing the score with outer shots of Kim Ana, Beul and Kim Si-on. However, the team failed to score additional points and the game ended as it was.

CB, who was pushed back by 'KIM', decided to move in the End

Bayern Munich's Matthias the Licht is getting ready to leave the team behind Kim Min-jae.

German "Sky Sports" Florian Plattenberg said on the 21st, "The Licht wants to leave Munich this summer."

During the 2022-2023 season, Licht played as a key defender for Munich. He showed solid defense and was strong in big games. He was evaluated as the only successful recruitment last season, and was named the Bayern player of the month for two consecutive months in March and April last year.

However, the team failed to compete for the starting lineup this season. Kim Min-jae was selected as the best defender in Serie A last season, leading Napoli to the championship for the first time in 33 years. Kim ranked 22nd in the Ballon d'Or voting and even acquired the award for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) International.

Kim Min-jae transferred 50 million euros to Munich this season. He is also paid 12 million euros per year. After moving to Munich, he took over as the main center back. He started all 16 games in the first half.

Kim Min-jae's joining put a lot of pressure on The Licht. So far, Dayo Upamecano and Kim Min-jae's combination are the top players. The Licht only played in 10 Bundesliga games. To make matters worse, Eric Dier was even recruited in the January transfer market.

The Licht recently got a chance. The Licht's current rival, Kim Min-jae, was called up for the Korean national team to play in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation Qatar Asian Cup. Since he left the team until mid-February at most, The Licht's playing time was expected to increase.

In the Bundesliga's 18th round match against Werder Bremen on Monday, he started as a center back along with Upamecano. However, Munich lost 0-1, exposing its defense instability. The score gap with Leverkusen, which ranks first, widened to seven points.

With the future seemingly uncertain in Munich, The Licht appears to have decided on a move. Plattenberg said, "The Licht is available for a summer move. He has no desire to be just the third or fourth central defender in Munich."

Some teams are interested in The Licht. It is Manchester United, led by former coach Erik ten Hag. Plattenberg said, "The Licht will leave the club if he gets the right offer. Manchester United are already keeping an eye on The Licht, and if Ten Hag remains with the team, he will be able to transfer."

Manchester United is very unstable in defense this season. He has committed 29 goals in 21 matches of the English Premier League, recording a gap of -5 in gains and losses. In six group matches of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United was eliminated in the preliminary round by allowing 15 goals.

In particular, injuries to center backs have been a drag. Raphael Varane suffered from minor injuries, and Lisandro Martinez missed the game for 10 weeks after playing without fully recovering from a metatarsal injury suffered at the end of last season.

Currently, back-up centre-backs have also left the squad due to injuries. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire were not even on the bench for a few games. Manchester United even started Jonny Evans, 35, and Willie Kambwala, a youth player.

At the end of this season, he needs to recruit a center back unconditionally. Evans is highly likely to leave the team as it is a one-year contract, and it is not easy to assign Maguire and Lindelof to the starting positions. The future is uncertain as Barando has been embroiled in a feud with manager Ten Haq this season.

Certainly, if The Licht joins Manchester United, it will be a great boost to the team. Manchester United are looking for players with good build-up skills and defensive skills. The Licht is an all-weather center back with all these abilities, so he can get the starting job right away. 토토사이트 순위

French league? Saudi is Better

I think the Saudi league is better than France.

England's 'The Athletic' reported on the 20th, "Cristiano Ronaldo (39, Al Nasr) believes that the Saudi professional league is a better league than the French league 1."

In December 2022, the Saudi Arabian Professional Football League, which has Cristiano Ronaldo, began to build up its size in earnest by recruiting additional Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, and Roberto Firmino after Ronaldo.

It is also a Saudi league that boasts a brilliant lineup, with not only out of date players but also "sign star" Neymar in his arms from Paris Saint-Germain.

Attending the World Soccer Awards in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, Ronaldo talked about the growth of the Saudi league. Ronaldo, who is in his second season with Al-Nasr, played in 44 official matches and scored 38 goals, showing his sense of scoring.
"To be honest, I don't think the Saudi league is worse than the French league. The French league has two or three teams of good quality. I think Saudi Arabia is more competitive," Ronaldo said, praising the level of the Saudi league.

"Thoughts are free to speak. It's just my opinion. I played here for a year. I know what I'm talking about. I think we (Saudi Arabia) are better than the French league," he said, stressing his opinion once again. 안전 토토사이트

Ronaldo said, "Al-Nasr, time is happy in Saudi Arabia. It will take a long time, but Saudi Arabia is going to grow to the highest level in the world. The Saudi league will be among the top three leagues in the world. I'm sure the Saudi people will be proud of it."
"I was the best scorer of the season at 39. I'm competing with young players like Elling Hallan. I'm proud of myself," he said. "Retirement? I will retire the moment I think it's over. Maybe 10 years from now."

Mourinho's '3rd Chelsea' Comes Out

Chelsea fans want Jose Mourinho to return. Mourinho, who was previously the head coach of Chelsea twice, is once again connecting with Chelsea.

"We confirmed that Mourinho and his coaching staff are leaving the club immediately," Roma said on the club's website on the 16th. Mourinho was appointed as Rome's 60th manager in May 2021. He led the team to the UEFA Europa Conference League victory in May 2022, and reached the final in Budapest last season," he said, conveying the news of his breakup with Mourinho.

Rome also said, "Additional updates on the new first-team coaching staff will continue," adding that it will provide relevant information after the person and coaching staff who will become Rome's 61st head coach since Mourinho are decided.

Roman owners Dan Friedkin and Ryan Friedkin said through the club, "We would like to thank Mourinho on behalf of everyone for his passion and hard work since he came to Rome. We will always have wonderful memories of Mourinho's time together during his time in Rome. However, we believe that immediate change will help the club. We wish Mourinho and his staff the best in their future efforts."

Mourinho has yet to overcome his third-year jinx again. Mourinho won the championship in his second year when he was in charge of a specific team and had a career in which he was replaced after showing sluggish performance in his third year.

During the 2002-03 season of FC Porto, Mourinho won the league, cup, and UEFA cup in his second year. He lifted the Premier League (PL) and Community Shield at Chelsea in his second year, and when he achieved a treble at Inter Milan in the 2009-10 season and a double at Real Madrid in the 2011-12 season, he also marked his second year in office. Mourinho proved once again that he would win the league and the cup in his second year when he returned to Chelsea, and that he would reach the top in his second year.

Of course, this story has disappeared recently. Mourinho won the UEFA Europa League in his first year as manager of Manchester United, but ended the season without a trophy in his second year and was replaced by Tottenham Hotspur in his second year. He was also in his first year as manager of the UEFA Conference League in Rome, and in his second year, he ended the season with no win.

Instead, the pattern of suffering a slump in the third year still seems to remain. Mourinho was sluggish in his third year in Rome as he was in the team he had been going through, and eventually left the team without completing three years.

Although Rome did not specify the reason for the dismissal of Mourinho, the reason why Mourinho was dismissed is likely to be due to poor performance. Rome is currently ranked 9th in Italian Serie A as of the 20th round of the league. The difference between the 6th place with tickets to the European match is 4 points, and the difference between the 4th place with tickets to the UEFA Champions League is 5 points. Since there is still a league schedule, it may seem that Rome has made a hasty decision considering the current situation.

Rome's inconsistent performance and outcome were at stake. Rome seemed to turn the tide with a 7-0 victory over Empoli in the fourth round after failing to win three games since the opening, but suffered a 1-4 defeat by Genoa following a draw with Turin. Since then, the team has won consecutive games for a while, but failed to win games against major teams such as Inter Milan and Lazio, leaving it regrettable.

Attention is focusing on Mourinho's next destination. In the UK, there have been claims that Mourinho may be appointed to Newcastle United, and some say that Saudi Arabia, which offered a proposal to Mourinho last summer, may once again express interest in Mourinho.

When Mourinho became unemployed, fans came to look for him. He is Chelsea fans. Chelsea is currently having an unsatisfactory season under Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea is still in ninth place after scoring a turning point in the league without overcoming repeated slumps from the beginning of the season. For this reason, Chelsea fans are voicing their desire for Mourinho's return.

England's Football London said, "Mourinho is still loved by many people in football, but it is not clear what position he will take next. Some people are saying that he should be brought to the England national team instead of Gareth Southgate, whose contract expires at the end of the 2024 UEFA European Championship. Others have mentioned Newcastle, and Chelsea has also been included in the conversation," explaining that Chelsea is also being discussed as Mourinho's next destination.

At the same time, the media shed light on the fact that Chelsea fans posted comments on Mourinho's SNS asking him to return to Chelsea. According to the media, Chelsea fans hoped for Mourinho's return to Chelsea by reacting, "Chelsea's MR Special One, please come home," "Mourinho is a Special One, and I'm willing to take him any time," and "If Mourinho takes charge of Chelsea now, I will win a UCL ticket with this team."

Mourinho previously played for Chelsea FC. He served as Chelsea manager twice. Mourinho, who came to Chelsea in 2004 after succeeding at Porto, won the 2004-05 season by scoring the fewest goals allowed in the league, which has not been broken so far. In the 2005-06 season that followed, Chelsea had consecutive league defeats under Mourinho. In the 2006-07 season, Chelsea won the EFL Cup, the FA Cup, and advanced to the UCL semifinals. 토토사이트 순위

Mourinho, who came back to Chelsea in 2013 after achieving the treble with Inter Milan and leaving his mark with Real Madrid, once again stood atop the league with Chelsea in the 2014-15 season. He also won the EFL Cup this season. This is why Chelsea fans cannot forget Mourinho. Furthermore, more and more Chelsea fans want Mourinho as the club has been in a bad mood lately.

Hwang Ui-jo Decorates BBC Sports

South Korean national soccer team Hwang Ui-jo (31, Norwich City) has been removed from the national team list on charges of illegally filming his ex-lover without consent, the BBC reported.

The BBC reported on the 29th (local time) that 'Hwang Eui-jo: Norwich City Striker is excluded from the Korean national team on charges of illegal filming'.

The BBC explained, "Hwang Ui-jo, a 31-year-old striker, is accused of filming scenes of sex with his ex-lover on his mobile phone and sharing them on social media," adding, "The Korea Football Association removed Hwang Ui-jo from the national team list on the 28th."

According to the BBC, Norwich City is also aware of and responding to the problem. The BBC said, "The club is monitoring the progress of the case." Nottingham Forest, Hwang Ui-jo's original team, told the BBC that it would not take a position until the results of the investigation are released.

Earlier on the 28th, the Korea Football Association (KFA) formed a discussion body led by Lee Yoon-nam, chairman of the ethics committee, and held a meeting to decide not to select Hwang Ui-jo as a national team member until a clear conclusion is reached by the investigative agency. Right now, even participation in the 2024 Qatar Asian Cup, which will be held in January next year, is uncertain. If he is indicted and continues to trial, there is a possibility that his policy to exclude national universities will continue for years.

Jürgen Klinsmann, who leads the Korean national team, also said, "I fully understand the current situation and will respect the KFA's decision." Until the 22nd, Klinsmann said, "I can't say that there is a crime and a problem right now. Until then, it's my job to help the players show good performance on the field," showing signs of defending Hwang Ui-jo, but stepping back. 안전 토토사이트

Meanwhile, Hwang Ui-jo has drawn attention by scoring goals in two consecutive league games. He scored consecutive goals in the match against Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on the 26th and Watford on the 29th. In particular, in the match against QPR, he approached home fans, closed his eyes, and put his index finger on his mouth. Some interpreted that Hwang Ui-jo may have performed such a ceremony to emphasize his innocence.
