Wolverhampton's highly praised "Hwang Hee-chan?
Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill of the English Premier League (EPL) sent infinite trust to Hwang Hee-chan (27), saying, "If you write down your name (on the starting list), you do well on your own."
Hwang Hee-chan scored multiple goals in the 14th minute of the first half and the 28th minute of the first half in an away match against Brentford in the 19th round of the 2023-24 EPL at the G-Tech Community Stadium in Brentford, England, on the 28th (Korea time).
Hwang Hee-chan scored his ninth and 10th goals in the league, scoring double digits in a single season of the EPL for the first time in his career. With Hwang's outstanding performance, Wolverhampton won the game 4-1.
On Hwang Hee-chan, O'Neill praised him for winning the match, saying, "You just have to write down Chan's name (by Hwang Hee-chan's nickname) and watch him play. He proves that he has fantastic qualities in every training session. That's why I feel at ease watching him."
Under O'Neill's trust, Hwang Hee-chan not only scored 10 goals this season, but also showed his position enough to play in all the EPL matches (19 matches) his team played. As he continues to play games, his confidence is soaring, and thanks to him, he is firmly establishing himself as the main player.
Hwang Hee-chan was replaced at the end of the first half due to back pain, but it turned out that he was not seriously injured. "Hwang Hee-chan has back muscle spasms. He is much better now," O'Neill said. 메이저 토토사이트
Regardless of his injury, Hwang will have to leave Wolverhampton for the time being to participate in the 2023 Asian Cup. The Asian Cup, the continent's most prestigious competition, cannot be rejected by each team.
Hwang Hee-chan will leave Wolverhampton as early as January to join the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the national team's base camp.
Coach O'Neill, who lost the option to write his name comfortably, expressed regret, saying, "When Hwang Hee-chan plays at the Asian Cup, there will be more things to think about in the future."
Will he be the 6th NBA draft pick in China's history?
Cui Yongsi 21, Guangzhou Rungs announced on April 25 that it has officially registered for the 2024 U.S. professional basketball draft.
This year's NBA rookie nomination event will take place from June 27 to June 28 in Korean time. The first round ranking first to 30 will be selected at Barclays Center 17,732 people in Brooklyn, New York, and the second round ranked 31 to 58 will be announced at ESPN Studio in South Street Seaport, Manhattan.
Cui Yongxi is 201 centimeters tall based on his profile as a qualifier for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup. He will be used as a guard/forward for the Chinese national team and as a small forward/power forward for his team.
Cui Yongxi has been named the best 10 Korean players second team for the second consecutive year in the Chinese professional basketball league. He gained attention since his debut season in the CBA with 11.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.6 blocks, 37.1 percent success rate, and 89.9 percent free throws accuracy per game in the 2022-23 regular season.
The 2023-24 CBA rose to an average of 15.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists due to increased playing time 29.7→34.2 minutes. However, it is negative that the record per game fell, including a steel 1.6 block 0.3 3-point success rate of 35.6% and free throw accuracy of 79.1%.
Cui Yongsi has been considered one of the top outside defenders in Chinese professional basketball since its first season. Although he was named Defensive Player of the Month in November last year, 2023-24 CBA steals and block reductions will not be good for the NBA draft.
It is positive that the U.S. National Basketball Association paid attention to its potential early on, including the selection of 15-year-old Cui Yongsi as MVP at the NBA's elite program training camp held in China in 2018.
As a member of the Korean national team, he played nine FIBA A matches, including preliminary matches for the World Cup and preliminary matches for the Asia Cup, starting last year. He is also a bronze medalist in men's basketball at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in 2023.
As for China, ranked 29th in the world, five players including Wang Zizhu Yao Ming in the 1990s, Yi Jianlian Sun Yue in the 2000s, and Zhou Qi in the 2010s were drafted by the NBA. Cui Yongxi will challenge for the first time in the 2020s and the first round pick in 17 years. 토토사이트
China's reputation in the U.S. professional basketball field is declining, with Yao Ming 1st place Yi Jen-lian 6th place selected in the first round one after another, but Sun Yue 40th place and Zhou Qi 43rd place only selected in the second round.
Coach Baek Ki-tae, the head coach of the U-17 national team.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 25th, "We have newly appointed Baek Ki-tae (44), Pohang Steelers youth director, as the coach of the men's U-17 national team."
Baek Ki-tae is a "one club man" and "youth development expert" who has been a youth leader with Pohang Steelers for the past 23 years. Baek Ki-tae, a Pohang native who played for Pohang Steel Technical High School and Pohang Steelers, began his leadership career as a coach at Pohang Steel Elementary School after retirement.
Afterwards, he coached at Pohang Steel Middle School and Pohang Steel Technical High School, and coached at Pohang Steel Dongcho and Pohang Steel High School. Since last year, he has been working as a youth director in charge of fostering youth in Pohang.
Baek led his team to victory in a number of national competitions, including the Hwarangdaegi Elementary Competition, the K-League U-18 Championship, and the King's Cup of the High League. In recognition of his ability, he won the Leader of the Year Award at the 2020 Korea Football Association Awards.
A number of national team players and main players of Pohang Steelers, including Oh Beom-seok, Kim Seung-dae, Lee Myung-joo, Hwang Hee-chan, Ko Young-joon and Hong Yoon-sang, have grown under the guidance of Baek.
The Korea Football Association said, "Coach Baek Ki-tae was appointed as a leader who greatly contributed to the establishment of Pohang Steelers' successful youth development system and highly appreciated his rich experience and capabilities in guiding players in that age group. We also considered the fact that Baek's soccer philosophy is consistent with the Korea Football Association's youth national team management philosophy," he said. 슬롯사이트 추천
Coach Baek Ki-tae said, "I am grateful to the Korea Football Association for giving me the heavy responsibility and the Pohang Steelers for making me who I am today. I will do my best with responsibility as I carry out my important mission of fostering national soccer players who will lead the future of Korean soccer."
The men's U-17 national team, led by coach Baek Ki-tae, will play the preliminary round of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-17 Asian Cup to be held in October next year. The team will prepare for the FIFA U-17 World Cup after the AFC U-17 Asian Cup finals in 2025. The U-17 World Cup, which has been held every two years so far, will be held every year from 2025 due to FIFA's recent decision.
Coach Byun, who led the U-17 national team until the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia last month, will continue to serve as the association's full-time youth leader.
Klinsman-ho, who is trying to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years
Klinsmann, who is trying to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, has begun its journey.
The A-team, led by Jürgen Klinsmann, was convened at a hotel in downtown Seoul on Wednesday afternoon. K-League players who finished their first half of the season were joined by some overseas players. The first round of domestic training sessions will run from Friday to Sunday.
This time, the call-up focuses on physical fitness indoors without outdoor training. On the first day of the training, players warmed up without balls at the hotel's fitness center and exercised according to their physical conditions. Coach Klinsmann reportedly left it up to himself and watched the team's progress from beyond the glass wall. "The players sweated in a very friendly atmosphere without burden at a place with relatively few eyes," a source from the national team said.
A roadmap for the team's victory in the Asian Cup has also been announced. The team will announce the final list of the 26 players who will participate in the Asian Cup at CGV Yongsan on Wednesday. The team will then leave for the United Arab Emirates, the site of its training camp, on March 2, and begin off-season training in Abu Dhabi to adjust to the local environment. Key players from European leagues, including Son Heung-min Tottenham Hotspur, Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich, and Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain, will join the team in Abu Dhabi and become "complete."
The final showdown has also been revealed. The team will hold its final mock test against Iraq in Abu Dhabi on January 6. The team will head to Qatar on January 10, where the Asian Cup will take place.
The Iraq match is aimed at preparing for the Middle East, which has always been strained. This time, the team also belongs to the same group with Jordan and Bahrain. To win the title, the team must beat Iran and Saudi Arabia. Iraq ranks 63rd in the FIFA rankings, lower than Korea 23rd, but has been a drag on Korea for a long time. The team deserves a chance to take the final mock test.
Klinsmann's goal for this year's event is to win both the first and second Asian Cup championships. Korea's last Asian Cup championship was in 1960 when it was held in Korea. At that time, Korea had a semifinal match with four teams Israel, South Vietnam, and Taiwan that advanced to the finals. Korea won the championship by ranking first in all three games overall. Since then, Korea has established itself as an Asian leader and has made it to the World Cup for 10 consecutive times. However, Korea had no chance to win the Asian Cup championships as much as the Asian Cup. The team's recent best performance was the runner-up at the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia. At the 2019 Asian Cup in the UAE, Korea ended its journey in the quarterfinals after being held back by Qatar.
Having completed the first and second rounds of the second qualifying round for the North Korea-China-U.S. World Cup in November 2026, the team is now looking to the 2024 Asian Cup that will take place in Qatar in January. The Asian Cup is the first test for the team. The team aims to advance to the quarterfinals at the North Korea-U.S. World Cup, and will explore the possibility through the Asian Cup. It is an important test for the coach, too. The Korea Football Association reportedly negotiated with the coach and conveyed that the Asian Cup stage could be an interim test, and the coach agreed with the coach.
Since taking office, Clinton has stirred controversy. He promised to reside in Korea, but was under fire due to his frequent overseas trips. As he was not in Korea, of course, it was difficult to closely watch the K-League. During the period, he appeared on TV programs in the U.S., analyzed Tottenham and Lionel Messi Inter Miami, who had nothing to do with the Korean national team, and attended a draw ceremony for the European Champions League. The announcement of the national team's roster disappeared, too. Two consecutive European matches in September were the climax. During the call-up period, foreign media reported that he threatened to participate in a charity match between his former club Bayern Munich and Chelsea, and asked Welsh captain Aaron Ramsey to exchange his uniform for his son.
Having achieved his first win in six matches, the longest ever among foreign coaches, Klinsmann also decided to go back to the U.S. five days after entering Korea with the slogan "I came because I was told." He even got booed by fans at the introduction of his team in the match against Tunisia. Having chosen "My Way," Klinsmann said that he would not change his style, urging fans to "evaluate themselves based on the results." The result was the Asian Cup. Since his inauguration, Klinsmann has vowed that his goal is to win the Asian Cup and that he is confident.
Fortunately, the mood is good. Korean soccer has entered an unprecedented golden age. Superstars who are also recognized in Europe, including Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, are making fantastic plays every weekend at big clubs. Son scored 10 goals in the first half alone, setting a milestone of double-digit goals for the eighth consecutive season in the English Premier League. He was on par with legendary Thierry Henry and Sadio Mane. Now, there are only four players ahead of Son, starting with Wayne Rooney, who has scored double-digit goals for 11 consecutive seasons, Frank Lampard 10 seasons, Sergio Aguero, and Harry Kane nine seasons above. Hwang already scored eight goals, and has rewritten his career high season. After successfully renewing his contract with Wolverhampton, he has become one of the best players in his team.
Lee Kang-in is also recognized by Paris Saint-Germain and has established himself as a key striker. In particular, Lee Kang-in has emerged as a new ace for the Korean national team. Kim Min-jae, who wore a Bayern Munich uniform ahead of this season, is considered the world's best defender beyond Korea. He is also among the best in ransom and has established himself as an indispensable player even in prestigious Bayern. He scored his Bayern debut goal at the match against Stuttgart last time, and has recently been evaluated as a rising monster by the German media. Hwang In-beom Zvezda, Lee Jae-seong Mainz, Cho Kyu-sung Mitwhelan, and Hong Hyun-seok Hent are also playing the same role as Altoran.
As it is the last Asian Cup to be played in Son's heyday, this is considered the right time for him to challenge for the championship. Having been wandering in the beginning, the team changed the mood with "free soccer" that maximizes the freedom of the European team. It has won five consecutive games. During this period, he has shown an explosive scoring ability that has never been seen before, showing promise. Japan, Iran, and Australia are formidable, but as they are second to none in terms of squad, expectations are higher than ever.
Coach Klinsmann announced his first call-up list in Korea on Wednesday. Players who played in the second Asian qualifying match against Singapore and China for the North-China World Cup held in November were called as they were. The only change was the joining of center back Kim Joo-sung FC Seoul, who failed to participate in November. "K-League scoring champion" Joo Min-kyu Ulsan Hyundai, who was expected to replace Hwang Ui-jo Norwich City, who was disqualified from the national team due to illegal filming and whose participation in the Asian Cup is uncertain, was not selected again this time.
Jürgen Klinsmann emphasized continuity and continuity from the A-match in October. "The Qatar Asian Cup will be composed mostly of the existing members. I drew the picture to a certain extent. The closer we get to a major championship, the more important it is to continue. I hope that the eight to 10 players who are the backbone of the team advance to the Asian Cup without any injuries. This framework will not change," Klinsmann said. When comparing the list in October and November, there has been no significant change except for the return of goalie Song Bum-keun and the selection of Park Jin-seop Jeonbuk Hyundai, who can exchange midfielders and center backs.
Coach Klinsmann has shown great trust in the existing members who have won consecutive games since October, and expressed his willingness to recruit them through the Asian Cup as expected. The first batch of players shows this well. He chose 11 players among the K-League players, including Cho Hyun-woo, Kim Young-kwon, Jeong Seung-hyeon, Kim Tae-hwan, Seol Young-woo Ulsan, Moon Seon-min, Kim Jin-su Jeonbuk Hyundai, Lee Ki-je Suwon Samsung, and Lee Soon-min Gwangju FC. Song Bum-keun of the J-League, who finished the season, is on board, and players from European leagues during break time are also joining the team. Germany's Lee Jae-seong and Jung Woo-young Stutgart, Serbia's Hwang In-beom, and Denmark's Cho Kyu-sung will be called in. A total of 16 players will be called in. 파워볼사이트 추천
The final entry will be announced later, and Kim Min-jae, Hwang Hee-chan, Lee Kang-in, Oh Hyun-kyu, Hong Hyun-suk, Kim Seung-gyu, and Park Yong-woo are expected to be selected. As the entry for the Qatar Asian Cup has increased from 23 to 26, additional call-ups are inevitable. Coach Klinsmann did not choose the new pace from the list. As for the K-League, he is now on a break after finishing a long season. If he is not included in the call-up list, it is virtually impossible to select a player considering his physical condition. If Coach Klinsmann fills all the entries, chances are high that he will fill the rest of the seats with young resources playing in Europe. According to reports, some players have reportedly already submitted related documents to the national team.
South Korea was in Group E along with Malaysia, Jordan and Bahrain at the Asian Cup. The quarterfinals, which are likely to face Iran in the match table, are expected to be the first watershed, and they are likely to face Japan in the final.
The city and provincial teams are shaken!
City and provincial teams are vulnerable to "civil complaints." Due to their nature, local government heads and influential figures in the region have a great impact on the operation of the team, and there are many cases where the team is shaken in the process.
Incheon United, the K-League's top affiliate, is also suffering from a series of civil complaints. According to the soccer community on Wednesday, the civil petitioner A filed a complaint against the club since October last year. Some say that A has an "insider" who leaked the board's agenda.
The man reported to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission that Lim Joong-yong, the head of Incheon's power reinforcement division, exerted pressure to select an underperforming player for the Incheon youth team. The case was dismissed as "no charges." However, the man again filed a complaint against Lim and three other staff members on charges of obstruction of business, saying that his grandson belonging to the Incheon youth team was excluded from the promotion due to inappropriate procedures. He was also cleared of charges.
The team also filed a complaint against Incheon CEO Jeon Hae-soo. The team filed a complaint against him for defamation, saying that his name was mentioned at the team's board of directors. He added the charge of breach of trust, saying that the former CEO paid the lawyer's fees, which had not even been paid to Lim and three other staff members, with the team's money. 메이저사이트
Despite constant accusations, Jeon and Lim are agonizing over their future course of action. Incheon is on the verge of passing away from the leaders who led the team to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League for the first time since its foundation.
In the past, there were not a few cases where city and provincial teams were shaken by such complaints and accusations. There was a person in charge who was directly or indirectly disadvantaged for failing to select the team's youth team to maintain the region, and there was also a force to accept players who were not good at skills because they were born in the region.
Other clubs are giving unfortunate glances. "When a city or provincial team experiences a period of confusion, there are forces that try to interfere in the management of the team. They try to get involved in the management of the team, but they don't take responsibility. I am worried that Incheon, which should focus on pre-season, will be able to fully prepare for next season," a club official said.
