Son Heung-min vs Hwang Hee-chan, Korean Derby

Two people who were colleagues a week ago are now meeting as enemies.

Tottenham and Wolverhampton will play the 25th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 18th.

Currently, Tottenham is in fourth place with 14 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses (47 points), and Wolverhampton is in 11th place with 9 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses (32 points).

Tottenham will play in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Hishalisson, Son Heung-min, James Maddison-Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur-Pape Sarr, Ben Davies-Mickey Vanderben-Christian Romero-Emerson Royal, and Gugliemo Vicario will play.

Wolverhampton faces off in a 3-4-3 formation. Pablo Sarabia-Hwang Hee-chan-Pedru Netu, Lyyan Ait Nouri-Juang Gomes-Mario Lemina-Nelson Semedu, Toti Gomes-Craig Dawson-Max Kilman, and the emissary.

Both teams are out of injury. Tottenham cannot have key fullbacks Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogi, while Wolverhampton's front-line striker Matheus Cunha suffered a hamstring injury in the previous game.

Tottenham are undefeated in five league games. They lost 0-1 in the FA Cup to Manchester City last month, but they had three wins and two draws against Burnley, Manchester United, Brentford, Everton and Brighton.

In particular, the victory over Brighton in the previous game was a major factor. Tottenham jumped to the top of the league with Brennan Johnson's final goal helped by Son Heung-min adding three more points.

Wolverhampton, who had seven undefeated matches from December last year to last month, is now faltering in February. After a close game with Manchester United, he lost 3-4 and defeated Chelsea 4-2, but lost 0-2 to Brentford in the previous game. He has one win and two losses in the last three games.

He is currently two points behind Chelsea (34 points), ranking 10th. He is committed to elevating its ranking by beating Tottenham in this match.

Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan will meet as enemies in this match. The two players finished their long journey of the tournament with a 0-2 loss to Jordan in the semifinals of the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup on the 7th.

As the captain of the team, Son Heung-min started all six games from the first group match to the semifinals, while Hwang Hee-chan was in charge of attacking the national team in earnest from the tournament after failing to play due to an injury at the beginning of the group stage. 토토사이트 추천

The two players performed well together against Australia in the quarterfinals. Hwang Hee-chan calmly succeeded in the penalty kick Son Heung-min won at the time when he was leading 0-1, and Son Heung-min sharply succeeded in the free-kick opportunity that Hoa Hee-chan won in extra time to lead the team's victory.

They are now enemies of the team. Son Heung-min is currently ranked fourth in the league with 12 goals and Hwang Hee-chan is seventh in the league with 10 goals.

Veteran Venus Williams, who was rumored to be retiring due to Injury

Veteran veteran Venus Williams will return in March.

Williams injured her right knee during the first round of women's singles at Wimbledon, a major tennis tournament, in July last year. Since Wimbledon, she has participated in three tournaments including the U.S. Open in September, but she has suffered from knee pain. Notably, just ahead of the U.S. Open, she even received cortisone injections for the first time in her life to relieve pain. This injection is used to treat arthritis. However, it did not work and she was eliminated in the first round of the U.S. Open. She also did not participate in other tournaments. 토토사이트

Williams, who was born in 1980, is the oldest player in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour. Rumors have it that she will retire due to worsening injury and prolonged hiatus. However, Williams has announced that she will return in March. "My goal is to play in the Miami Open and Indian Wells in the U.S.," Williams said on her YouTube channel.

Williams' knee injury was serious. She was so sick that she couldn't walk properly that her lower body strength became weak. However, Williams has not given up and is going through an uphill rehabilitation process. "My younger sister Serena encouraged me that I can't quit playing tennis," Williams said. "I will definitely go back to the court." Both of them are No. 1 in the world. She has topped the list 49 times including seven major competitions.

Plan B? Park Jin-seop, a multi-defense agent in the spotlight

As injuries continue to occur at the Qatar Asian Cup, and some key players fall into a swamp of sluggishness, the chances of players who have had little time to play are growing. In particular, attention is focused on the possibility of Park Jin-seop, who can play both center back and defensive midfielder due to the string of defensive resources and poor performance.

The Korean national team is struggling to mobilize defense due to a string of injuries suffered by its fullbacks. Left fullback Kim Jin-soo missed all of the first and second group matches due to his physical condition even before the event, while Lee Ki-je (Suwon), who had been a starting player, also missed the training session at the Al-Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar on Sunday due to a problem with his right hamstring. There are Seol Young-woo (Ulsan) and Kim Tae-hwan (Jeonbuk Hyundai) at right fullback, but Kim Tae-hwan also feels uncomfortable with his calf muscle and is not fully recovered. To this end, Coach Klinsmann mentioned the transition to a back three.

The sluggishness of defensive midfielder Park Yong-woo (Al-Ain) also increases his chances of starting pitcher Park Jin-seop. With the number of midfielders in the midfield reduced to two and Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) effectively utilizing the attacking midfielder, Park's weaknesses are evident in Park's defense line alone. Park is a player who shows strength in fast transition passes through offense, rather than dedicated defense. Notably, Park scored an own goal in the second group match against Jordan, and public criticism is mounting.

Against this backdrop, the final group match against Malaysia, which has confirmed elimination of the group stage, could be an opportunity for Park Jin-seop. "Players who can't play right now are always preparing well behind the scenes," Park said at an interview before the training. "I think that whoever goes in, I need to show my best performance." "I think that Lee Soon-min (Daejeon) and I need to be more helpful in terms of defense in the midfield, and I am training," he said.

Regarding the criticism that the gap between offense, defense and midfielders widened in the match against Jordan, he added, "I think I struggled because the opponent strengthened the defense and was a good team in counterattack. From the third line, I thought I should communicate a lot about maintaining the gap and adjusting the line."

Basically, Park Jin-seop is a defensive midfielder. When asked how much he is prepared to stand at the center back, he said, "I don't think it will be awkward because I've seen him in his team as well. If he is preparing well, he will have a good opportunity." 스포츠토토사이트

Park Jin-seop started from the K3 League in the past and moved up to K League 2 and K League 1, and has already played in various positions. After joining Jeonbuk Hyundai after passing through Ansan Greeners and Daejeon Hana Citizen, he played in various positions including offensive midfielder, defensive midfielder, and center back. His ability as a multiplayer is shining in the national team as well.

It is the first time for an adult team to participate in a major championship. However, she did not look nervous at all. Park Jin-seop's gold medal experience at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is a strong asset.

Park Jin-seop participated in the Asian Games as a wild card player (over 24 years old). He played an important role in the team with his versatile skills and leadership, and even received an exemption from the military service due to his successful performance. "The Asian Games are not a major competition bigger than the Asian Cup, but I think that was a good experience as it is a tournament," he said. When asked if he feels like he will win like he did in the Asian Games, he expressed confidence without hesitation, saying, "I still feel that way. The team atmosphere is so good and I have no doubt whether I can win."
