Holland finally opened his mouth
Erling Holland Manchester City, the world's best striker in existence, finally opened his mouth when asked persistent questions about his future.
It is the fate of the top striker. There are always rumors of a transfer. The same is true of Holland. Rumors of a transfer to Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona have recently surfaced. Real Madrid was reportedly forming a Mbappe-Holand combination for the third Galactico, and Barcelona insisted that Holland was needed to counter Mbappe's Real Madrid.
There are also many comments on Holland's release clause. Some even reported that Holland's buyout clause will be activated soon. Some argued that unless a player moves to an English Premier League club, Real Madrid and Barcelona can be recruited because the purchase amount is cheaper. Some argued that Holland's buyout clause does not exist at all.
Holland, who had been silent about the situation, finally mentioned the transfer. He also talked directly to reporters. Holland said this at a meeting with local reporters when asked about the transfer. 토토사이트
"I will say this to you now. Maybe it will be a huge headline. I don't know what my future will bring, even tomorrow. But I am happy. If you want to write an article, you have to write everything I said before. I am happy."
He stressed that he is happy in Manchester City and is satisfied with Manchester City. It means that you will not be swayed by the transfer rumors, so don't ask any more questions about the transfer rumors.
However, there was also a nuance that he could leave Manchester City. The bottom line is, no one knows if he will stay in Manchester City 100%, but he is happy in Manchester City and is now focused on Manchester City.
Holland also said, "I'm happy to be at Manchester City. I'm really happy to be with the guys at Manchester City. I'm happy to be with them, including the manager. My focus is on the pitch."
Kim Minjae is behind Dyer in the main competition?
Kim Min-jae 28, Munich has fallen behind in the race to become a starting member. However, it is too early to make a judgment.
Bayern Munich had a showdown with SS Lazio in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League's round of 16 teams for the 2023-2024 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 5 a.m. on Saturday, and won 3-0. After paying off 0-1 defeat in the first round, Munich advanced to the quarterfinals with a combined score of 3-1.
There was no name of Kim Min-jae on Munich's starting list on the day. Thomas Tuchel brought up a combination of Eric Dier and Matthijs the Licht central defender. As a result, Munich won the game 3-0 without allowing any points. Kim Min-jae did not get on the ground until the end.
This is the first time since joining the club. Until mid-season, Kim had been suffering from a controversy because he played so much. In Munich's first 15 games, Kim couldn't rest even for a second and played full time. Meanwhile, The Licht and Upamecano took turns sluggish or injured. Kim had to carry all the burden by himself.
The Asian Cup was a variable. Kim Min-jae has been away in Munich for more than a month since early January. South Korea lost 0-2 to Jordan in the semifinals of the Asian Cup. Kim Min-jae returned to Munich earlier than expected, but Eric Dier was already filling the spot.
When there was a controversy, Kim Min-jae said, "Other players can perform well when I'm away. If the coach continues to use the combination of the players, there may be no place for me." This remark, which was unfounded at the time, has become a reality. Right now, the Dyer-The Licht duo is drawing more attention than the Kim Min-jae and Upamecano combination. It is a separate matter how dedicated Kim Min-jae has been.
Dyer, who was a "Gyereuk" when he was a Tottenham player, was revived as a swan in Munich. At Tottenham, he was treated as a surplus power as he was pushed out of the main competition. Rather than playing on the field, he often stayed on the bench. Dyer, who was reduced to a candidate after manager Enzi Postecoglou's appointment, was put on the market early, but no team took him.
Munich, which was on alert due to Kim Min-jae's overwork and center back injuries, was deceived and took Dyer. As Dyer wakes up, he is showing better-than-expected performance. Coach Tuchel recently began to push Dyer. Dayo Upamecano lost trust as he was sent off twice. Kim Min-jae, who was a built-in main player, also lost his position as he left for the Asian Cup.
Dyer posted a 96 percent pass success rate against Lazio, three clearings and two interceptions. After the game ended, the soccer news outlet Pot Mob gave Dyer an easy rating of 7.2 points.
Dyer, who was satisfied with his performance, said, "The club, the city, and the fans all welcomed me greatly, so it was easy for me to adapt. I really enjoy playing soccer. I felt a lot of pressure in this game, but I overcame it well. I'm looking forward to the next round of the Champions League."
Dyer's stock price is high, but it cannot be asserted that Kim Min-jae fell behind in the starting lineup right away. "It was a difficult decision," Tuchel said about the exclusion of Kim Min-jae after the match against Lazio. Dyer, who is in good condition right now, got the opportunity, but he can't say that he is better than Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae also has many opportunities. You just have to prove it.
However, it is regrettable that the Munich team and the German media are putting particularly strict standards on Kim. DeerSlectic said, "Kim Min-jae showed solid performance among Munich's underachievers, but he failed to give us solid trust. Kim just watched Lucas Holo score the equalizer in the match against Freiburg. The mistake symbolizes Kim's helplessness." 토토사이트 순위
Kim Min-jae has too high expectations as the "world's best center back." On top of that, Germans tend not to recognize the performance of Asian Kim Min-jae. In many ways, Kim Min-jae is starting from the ground up again in a disadvantageous environment.
Coach Ogino, who did not smile despite the victory
The OK Financial Group led by coach Ohgino Masahiro didn't laugh even though it beat Woori Card in the first playoff game of the 2023-2024 V-League postseason at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on Sunday. The team was cornered by winning the first and second sets but losing the third and fourth sets.
"Players created this. They let their guard down, and they don't seem to have a fear of volleyball. I will speak a little stronger to the players," Ogino said, reprimanding them for losing the third and fourth sets even after winning the first and second sets.
"From the moment we entered the third set, we let our guard down. The players looked different. This was not the first time, but it was repeated three to four times. When we called for operation time in the third set 2-0, we were not in a good mood either. We are still not very good at coping with such a situation," he added.
He reduced Leo's possession rate in the fifth set and made full use of other players. "Right," Ogino said, nodding his head, "Leo's attack success rate was not good, and his facial expression was as good as he could. He asked Kwak to post it to other players besides Leo. He followed instructions well. What was good was that Song Hee-chae and Shin Ho-jin did well in the attack cover, and Shin Ho-jin did well in attack. Shin Ho-jin was in good condition. I asked Kwak to use Shin Ho-jin and Song Hee-chae."
He continued on about the signal lineup, which posted an attack success rate of 70 percent. "I gave him advice right away when he made an offensive mistake. He followed instructions well from the beginning. He is an answer-giving player. He is a good player. He must have had a lot of pressure. Good job. He is a player who plays volleyball while thinking about it," Ogino said. 토토사이트
It is a full set for two consecutive postseason games. Two days ago, OK Financial Group had a match between Hyundai Capital and the semi-playoff in five sets.
He will also invite Woori Card to his home turf on May 25. "Training is harder than playing in games," Ogino said with a smile. "I performed well at the start of the season when I had to work hard on the court. I believe the players will do well in time for the start of the game at 7 p.m. Cha Ji-hwan, Park Seung-soo, Park Chang-seong and Park Tae-seong, all of whom are substitutes, have made good growth. As we are a one-team player, I think we can display volleyball that we can all win."
Finally, Ogino asked, "Has OK Financial Group changed?" When asked, "OK Financial Group needs to be better than last year. The players are working really hard."
The Tropicana, a Relic on the Las Vegas Strip, Could Be Demolished
Las Vegas Strip icon the Tropicana could be torn down to make way for a new baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics.
If and when the landmark is demolished, a chunk of Vegas history will vanish along with it and all the midcentury glamour the historical venue featured.
When it was first unveiled, the property boasted a massive 60-foot fountain as the hotel played host to illusionists Siegfried and Roy who debuted their show at the hotel while an array of stars were filmed there including Sean Connery's James Bond in Diamond's Are Forever and The Godfather Corleones.
The Tropicana became synonymous with the vibrancy of everything Vegas had to offer with its Folies Bergère cabaret featuring feathered showgirls.
But decades have passed since the Tropicana's heyday and now only a few customers frequent the dimly lit casino.
On a recent visit by the New York Times one weekday afternoon only a handful of people were gathered at the bar while many of the blackjack and roulette tables remained closed.
It is a far cry from the hotel's peak.
The hotel opened in 1957 as Cuban-themed property with little else in Las Vegas at the time. The hotel was said to be 'famous from the day it opened,' according to an article from the Las Vegas Sun at the time.
'Unlike many other Strip layouts, the Tropicana was designed and built as a resort hotel, not as a casino and night club with incidental guest rooms,' a description of its opening read.
'Wide sweeping drives approach the hotel from the highways, closely adjoined by a sparkling fountain rising 60 feet and cascading water down into a brilliant pool 100 feet in diameter.'
'Mosaic–tile decorations flank the entrance covered by an upsweeping canopy stretching out 40 feet and measuring 130 feet in length.'
But there were also rumors of mob ties with the facility from the onset.
In 1967, Siegfried and Roy left Paris to become Las Vegas mainstays, first debuting at the Tropicana's Folies Bergere show. The duo started 14th on the bill, and by 1978 they were the finale.
By the 1970s, the Tropicana started to lose out to competitors such as Caesars Palace. By the late 70s, it was again involved in mob activity and exposed by an FBI investigation into Vegas casinos and the mafia.
Joe Agosto, the owner of the Folies Bergere show, oversaw skimming money from the casino.
'Mr. Agosto testified at a monthlong trial this summer that the $280,000 in gambling proceeds were skimmed from the Tropicana from June 1978 to February 1979, transported to Kansas City and split between underworld figures there and in Chicago. The ploy of skimming avoids taxes on the gambling winnings,' a New York Times article from an 1983 trial read.
Mitzi Stauffer Briggs owned the casino at the time and admitted years later that she realized she was a pawn.
'We were some kind of unauthorized bank for those people,' Briggs told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2009.
The investigations and scandal led to the casino's sale and in the 1990s, part of the Tropicana's site was sold to MGM to make way for the MGM Grand Casino - as modern casinos took over the Las Vegas strip.
Tropicana has seen several owners over the years and changes to the structure. In 2010, the hotel demolished two wings.
Today the owner is Bally's Corporation, which operates casinos in Vegas and across the globe.
Tropicana is also known for being the filming location for several movies. In 1971, James Bond's Diamonds Are Forever used the casino for Sean Connery's Bond adventures to Las Vegas.
Viva Las Vegas and War of the Colossal Beast were also shot at the casino.
Vegas played host to legendary acts including the Rat Pack, led by Frank Sinatra which put the city's name on the map. Few of the iconic casinos from that era remain.
In 1993, about 200,000 people watched as a pirate ship at the newly-opened Treasure Island resort blew up The Dunes, built in 1955, to make way for the $1.6 billion Bellagio Hotel and Casino.
The Hacienda, erected in 1956, was wired with hundreds of fireworks on New Year's Eve, blowing it up before collapsing.
In 2016, the Riviera Hotel and Casino, built in 1955, was turned to dust after an all-out fireworks display.
'It's sort of an inevitable kind of process here in Las Vegas, where we're in a constant state of evolution but that doesn't mean we can't be a little bit sad about,' said Geoff Schumacher, author of Sun, Sin & Suburbia: The History of Modern Las Vegas to the Times.
These days, dazzling resorts have emerged from the desert as the city rebrands itself as a professional sports destination. Tropicana has been struggling since the 1970s - essentially since Caesars Palace opened.
Last week, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed a bill to finance up to $380 million of a $1.5 billion stadium project aimed at attracting the Oakland Athletics to the Las Vegas Strip.
The project would see the Tropicana demolished as the city continues to evolve.
'The Trop is obviously iconic, but it is, really, in a lot of ways, economically obsolete,' chairman of Bally's Corporation, the current owner of the hotel and casino, Soo Kim said.
'It literally is part of the glitz and glamour of Vegas, but it hasn't been that for decades,'
Bally's has now reached a deal with the Athletics, allocating nine acres of the 35-acre parcel of land specifically for the stadium.
Major League Baseball's owners need only approve of the relocation and the Tropicana's days will be numbered. 슬롯사이트
Las Vegas had once been considered unsuitable for major sports because of its strong association with gambling on games - but that has now become legal in many states.
When the Athletics relocate, they would join the NFL, NHL, WNBA, and NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Last week, The Golden Knights ice hockey team, Las Vegas' first major sports franchise, won the Stanley Cup.
Backers of the project say in addition to creating 14,000 construction jobs and permanent jobs subject to collective bargaining, Major League Baseball on the Las Vegas Strip will build on the excitement surrounding the Raiders, the Golden Knights and the WNBA's Aces in a city that had no major professional sports before 2016.
Han Sung-jeong delivers donations to elementary school students in vulnerable groups
Woori Card's outside heater Han Sung-jung delivered donations to vulnerable groups in Jung-gu, Seoul, in the first home game against OK Financial Group in the Dodram 2023-24 V-League Men's Playoff best of two out of three at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 23rd.
The donation delivered on this day will be used to purchase school supplies for elementary school students from low-income families.
Han Sung-jung, who is usually called the "V-League's representative donation angel," continues to donate for neighbors in need.
In February last year, when he was a member of KB Insurance, he donated 1,000 servings of pork to Uijeongbu City, and in July 2023, he donated 1 million won to his hometown, Okcheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. In December last year, he also delivered 1,000 servings of simple food to children's welfare facilities and dosshouses with Dodram Handon, the title sponsor of professional volleyball.
Han Sung-jung said, "I wanted to return the much love I received from my fans in the 2023-24 season to my neighbors in need."
"I am grateful for Han Sung-jeong's warm spring-like heart that came to Jung-gu. I wish Woori Card a great performance in the postseason and the championship," said Kim Gil-sung, head of Jung-gu District Office. 토토사이트
