'12 Tottenham shots' Tottenham 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday[edytuj]
The first half ended without a goal as both teams battled back and forth.
Tottenham hosts Sheffield United in the fifth round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL), which kicked off at 11 p.m. ET on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
Tottenham lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Vicario was in goal, while Udoji, van der Penne, Romero, and Foro formed the back four. The back three was Bissouma-Sarr, the back two was Solomon-Maddison-Kuluczewski, and up front was Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min started as a frontline striker for the second time in as many games against Burnley. The South Korean was in top scoring form last time out, exploding for a hat-trick, so he started up top for the second game in a row.
Son was active up front. Despite playing full-time in both games during the A-Match, he was active in pressing up front and even 토토 tried his signature right-footed curler in the area dubbed the "Son Heung-Min Zone" that was saved by the goalkeeper.
Tottenham dominated the game overall, but were unable to break through Sheffield's tight defense. Solomon and Maddison were lively and attacked the defense but couldn't create easy chances.
Sheffield sat back and looked to create chances on the counter-attack, but the lack of precision in their play saw their chances go begging.
Australian diaspora wins first title in Korea[edytuj]
After reaching the 10-win milestone on the U.S. Women's Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour, Korean-American golfer Lee Min-ji Lee (AUS) said the emotions are new.
Lee won the LPGA Tour's BMW Ladies Championship ($2.2 million purse) on Oct. 22 at Seowon Hills Course (par 72-6369) at Seowon Valley Country Club in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, with a final round of 16-under-par 272.
It wasn't an easy win. Playing in a playoff with compatriot Alison Lee (USA), Lee hit her second shot on the par-4 18th hole to within 1.8 meters of the hole for birdie to seal the victory. With the win, Lee became just the third Australian player in history to reach 10 LPGA Tour victories. Kari Webb has 41 wins and Jan Stenson has 16. Given her current pace, a No. 2 is well within reach.
Lee, whose mother and father are both Korean, has 10 wins on the LPGA Tour and two each on the European and Australian tours, but this is the first time she has reached the top in South Korea. This is her first victory in Korea after losing to Lee in a playoff at the Hana Financial Group Championship on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour in September and to Song Ga-eun in a playoff at the same event in 2021.
"Korea is the place I wanted to win the most, and it's where my roots are because both my parents are Korean," she said, adding that it was a special feeling to have her grandmother, family, and relatives there when she went into overtime.
His younger brother, Lee Min-woo, is also a professional golfer. Lee won the Asian Tour's Macau Open a week ago and tied for sixth at the U.S. PGA Tour's JoJo Championship, which concluded in Japan today.
"I can't say this when my sister is in front of me, but I'm proud of her," Lee praised, adding, "I'm happy that my brother and sister have won two weeks in a row."
"It was my fourth overtime this year," said Lee, adding that she and her opponent, Allison Lee, had met in the 2012 U.S. Women's 사설토토 Junior Amateur Championship final and knew each other well. Lee is now 2-2 in overtime this year. She also defeated Charley Hull (England) in a playoff at the LPGA Tour's Kroger Queen City Championship in September.
When asked about her future career goals, Lee said, "I haven't been ranked No. 1 in the world yet," adding, "Golf is a very unpredictable sport, so I want to achieve that while I still can." Lee's current world ranking is No. 7, and her highest personal ranking was No. 2 last year. He has won two major championships, the Evian Championship in 2021 and the US Open last year.

No chance after Klopp's departure...a forgotten prospect in Germany[edytuj]
Fabio Carvalho (21-Leipzig) is also struggling in Germany after not being selected by Jürgen Klopp (56-Germany) and opting for a loan move. His loan move has been overshadowed by Leipzig's strong second string.
The Liverpool Echo reported on Sunday that "Carvalho is fighting for his future and may need a January move. Carvalho could be given the chance to turn his loan move to Leipzig into a permanent move after growing frustration at Liverpool."
After joining Liverpool last season, Carvalho was touted as the future of the team. He took advantage of the opportunities that came his way early in the season, scoring valuable goals and helping his team to victory. However, his inability to settle into any one position caused him to falter. He can play in the center and on the flanks, but his ambiguous performances in both positions caused Klopp to worry.
After being given a few chances by Klopp at the start of the 2022-23 season, Carvalho faded into obscurity. After the 13th round of the Premier League last season, he made just three league appearances, playing just 11 minutes. Outside of that, he's made only occasional appearances in cup competitions and the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Having lost his place at Liverpool, Carvalho opted for a loan spell at 'prospect paradise' Leipzig last summer. Initially, Leipzig wanted to buy him outright and offered Liverpool £10 million, but Liverpool were reluctant to sell. Leipzig, desperate for Carvalho, changed their plans and brought him in on loan.
However, Carvalho's situation in Leipzig is no different. He lost out to 토토 Dani Olmo (25), Xavi Simons (20), Christoph Baumgartner (24), and Emile Forsberg (32). He has started 10 games since joining the club, but only 23.4 minutes per game. He has yet to register an offensive point. Carvalho's plans to travel to Germany in search of a turnaround have gone awry.
The good news is that amidst the gloom, there's finally a glimmer of hope that Carvalho could get his chance. Leipzig journalist Guido Schaffer, who is well versed in Leipzig, saw a future for Carvalho. "Carvalho is a challenger and he is fighting for a place with the second string players. I spoke to Leipzig officials and they told me that Carvalho is well-liked. I think coach Marco Rosé (47-Germany) will give him more time. "
Coincidentally, Leipzig's 'big man' Forsberg is being linked with a move to the New York Red Bulls in the upcoming winter transfer window. The Red Bulls are a Red Bull club like Leipzig, so a move for Forsberg would be very likely. With Forsberg's departure, Carvalho's future looks even brighter.
Baseball Samsung signs new foreign pitcher Reyes[edytuj]
Signed Reyes to $800,000...replaced all three outfielders.
Samsung Lions' new foreign pitcher Denny Reyes.
(SEOUL, South Korea (AFP) - Baseball's Samsung Lions have parted ways with David Buchanan, their ace for the past four seasons, and signed a new foreign pitcher, Denny Reyes, 27.
"Samsung signed Reyes for a total of $800,000, including a $100,000 signing bonus, $500,000 annual salary and $200,000 option," the team announced Thursday.
Born in 1996, Reyes is a right-handed pitcher from the Dominican Republic who played for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB) in the 2023 season.
He appeared in nine big league games, including three starts, and went 2-2 with a 7.78 ERA.
In Triple-A, he went 2-3 with a 5.79 ERA in 20 games this season.
"Reyes throws a fastball that averages 147 km/h and has a slider, changeup, and cut fastball," Samsung said, "especially a two-seam fastball optimized for the ABS (Automatic Ball-Strike System) that will be introduced in the KBO next season."
Reyes has also shown reliable control in the minor leagues, posting a 1.13 WHIP and 1.6 strikeouts per nine innings.
"We were interested in signing Buchanan, but were unable to meet our final offer," Samsung said.
Buchanan had won 10 or more games in every season from 2020 through last season, and was outstanding in 2023, posting a 12-8 record with a 2.54 ERA.
Samsung initially negotiated with Buchanan with the intention of re-signing him, but they were unable to reach an agreement.
"It was difficult to concede contract terms due to the salary cap for foreign players," a Samsung representative said.
With the signing of Reyes, Samsung replaced all three of its 토토 foreign players for the new season.
Samsung signed David McKinnon for $1 million to replace existing foreign hitter Jose Pirela, and Connor Seabold for $1 million to replace foreign pitcher Taylor Widener.
Bipedal SON is amazing! France U-21 National Team Coach[edytuj]
South Korean players' ambidexterity is considered a major strength.
The UK's The Athletic published an interview with France U-21 national team head coach Gael Clichy on Nov. 11 (KST). The France U-21 team, led by Thierry Henry, played an exhibition match against the South Korea U-22 team coached by Hwang Sun-hong last November. It was a 3-0 victory for the French side, thanks to a multi-goal performance from Sang Min-bin and a wedge from Hong Yun-sang.
"I could see four or five players playing with both feet, and I thought, 'That's not normal,'" says Clichy. We have only one player in the French U-21 national team who is two-footed. In my entire career, he's only the second player I know who plays like that," he said after watching the match against South Korea.
"I can't stop thinking that if I become a coach in five or six years' time, what if I have the possibility to take four or five players from the team I will be managing and make them play properly. She can play left, right, and center because she can play with both feet," he marveled.
"To prepare for this match, she 사설토토 watched South Korea's previous five matches. She was so amazed by what she saw that she is already planning to visit the Asian country to learn more about how to develop bipedal players."
"Ambidextrous players are an enigma. The most prolific ambidextrous scorer in Premier League (PL) history is from South Korea. Son Heung-min has scored 46 goals in the PL with his weak left foot. That's five more goals than the second-place finisher, Harry Kane. Son's father, Son Woong-jung, said in an interview a few years ago that he trained the right-footed striker to use both feet by making him put on his socks, soccer cleats, shoes, pants, and watch left first."
Being bipedal is a huge strength for soccer players. They often have a dominant foot and a weak foot, which makes it difficult for opposing defenders and goalkeepers to predict which foot they will use. In addition to shooting, they can also play a variety of positions on the left, right, or center.
Son Heung-min is a prime example of this. He scored 12 goals with his left foot and 11 with his right when he was the PL top scorer in the 2021-22 season. In addition to Son Heung-min, many other South Korean players have been known for their ability to use both feet, including Cha Bum-geun, Park Ji-sung, and Lee Young-pyo.
Now in his sixth season...LG Kelly's change of heart[edytuj]
LG Twins' Casey Kelly (35) earned his first win in just his fourth start of the season.
The right-hander pitched seven innings against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight.
Thanks to Kelly's performance, LG defeated Doosan 2-1 and snapped a three-game losing streak. It was the first win of the season for Kelly, who had suffered just one loss in his previous three starts.
Kelly's only run of the day came in the third inning.
She walked leadoff hitter Kim Dae-hyun and allowed him to steal second on a catcher's fastball. She then gave up a sacrifice bunt by Cho Sung-hyun and a sacrifice fly to center field to Jeong Soo-bin with runners on first and third.
However, he pitched the seventh inning without allowing any more runs to score, securing the team's come-from-behind victory.
"The team was in a difficult situation, but Kelly pitched like an ace and gave us a chance to win the game," said LG coach Yeom Kyung-yup after the game.
Kelly, who has been on the LG mound since 2019, was the latest to record his first win this year. In 2021, he won in his third start.
"It's very hard to get one win in the KBO. "I didn't beat myself up because I knew I wasn't going to end the year without a win," he said. "I focused on the things I could control. I focused on the things I could control, and the rest would follow," he said.
Kelly has been a steady performer since entering the KBO, but struggled last year 토토 as he slipped into a slump. However, he was able to finish the season with a 10-7 record and a 3.83 ERA amid high expectations from his team.
This year, in his sixth season in the KBO, he's even more prepared. "Last year was my toughest season yet, so I worked on new things during the offseason. I refined my sweeper, and I refined the splitter that I threw in the Korean Series," Kelly explained.
"After throwing in the league for five years, hitters know my tendencies, so I spent a lot of time on that, trying to cook them in new ways," he added.
In the past, he's used his curveball as his primary offering, but this year, he changed it up. "Hitters know my curveball, so I try to disrupt them in different ways," Kelly said, explaining that he keeps his fastball close to his body and tries to distract them with a sweeper that travels the same trajectory as his fastball.
LG, which dominated the KBO last year by winning the overall title, has gotten off to a slow start this year. They picked up their ninth win of the season (1-8) but are still in the middle of the pack.
But Kelly has no doubt that the team will get back on track soon. "Obviously, we'll figure it out and get back on track," he said. "We're just not playing the best baseball we can right now. We're struggling a little bit, but I definitely believe in our guys because they're working hard every day. I'm confident that our players will find a way to get through this."
'I'm not going anywhere' absentee Chelsea captain is out for the season, this time for leaving early[edytuj]
Chelsea captain Leo James (24) will not be seen on the pitch this season.
Mauricio Pochettino (52) led Chelsea to a 2-1 win over Brighton in the 37th round of the English Premier League at the American Express Stadium in Brighton, England, at 3:45 a.m. ET on Saturday.
The win kept Chelsea's chances of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League (UEL) alive with three valuable points, while the Blues' shaky form since Pochettino's arrival has improved markedly, with four consecutive league wins.
The only blemish on a day that was satisfying in both outcome and process was the ejection of captain Leath James. In the 40th minute of the second half, James committed a foul by kicking opposing forward João Pedro in the foot.
The referee stopped play and went to the on-field review to assess the situation after the striker complained of pain. The result was a direct red card. Reece James, who came on for Gusto at the end of the second half, got the worst of it when he had to leave the field after about 20 minutes.
The foul was completely unnecessary, especially since it came with Chelsea leading 2-0. From 사설토토 there, Brighton, with their numerical advantage, pushed Chelsea hard to get a goal back in extra time.
Although Brighton were unable to score an extra goal to change the outcome of the game, there was a lot of criticism directed at Leicester's captain, Leo James, for putting his team in a difficult position.
"This is the second red card of the season for Reece James, which means he will miss the next four games," British media outlet Tribune reported on Saturday. As the media said, this is the second time Reece James has been sent off. Last November, he was sent off for a late challenge on Newcastle United in a 1-4 defeat in the 13th round of the league.
Leicester's two bookings are even more ridiculous when you consider that James has only played 10 games (422 minutes) in the league this season, having been sidelined with injury all season. British outlet Squawka highlighted this fact, reporting that "With just 422 minutes played, Leicester's James is joint top of the PL's sending-off list."
This resulted in Leicester missing the crucial league final against Bournemouth due to disciplinary repercussions, which ended his season on its own, and then he missed the first three games of Chelsea's next campaign.
Kim Min-jae foreshadows tough competition for starting role[edytuj]
Kim Min-jae is expected to face stiff competition for a starting role under Vincent Kompany.
On Wednesday (June 13), Fabrizio Romano, a reporter familiar with the European soccer transfer market, said, "Hiroki Ito is going to Bayern. An agreement has been reached on a five-year contract, with only a medical test remaining. Bayern have paid the 30 million euro ($44.4 million) buyout set by Stuttgart."
Florian Platenberg, a dedicated Bayern journalist for Germany's Sky Sports, also said: "Ito will be the new Bayern player. The Bavarians have triggered the buyout and will sign a contract until 2028."
Bayern had their worst season in nearly a decade last season. In the German Bundesliga, the Bavarians finished in third place, losing to Xabi Alonso's Bayer 04 Leverkusen and allowing Stuttgart to catch them in the final game. In the DFL Super Cup, they lost 0-3 to RB Leipzig, and in the DFB Pokal (German FA Cup), they were eliminated early by Saarbrücken of the German third division. In the UEFA Champions League, they reached the quarterfinals but couldn't get past Real Madrid. It was the first time since the 2011-2012 season that Bayern had been completely unsuccessful.
The Bavarians are in the midst of a pre-season overhaul. After parting ways with coach Thomas Tuchel, they turned around and hired Kompany. Some questioned the choice of a manager who was dominant in the English Championship (second division) but was relegated from the Premier League (PL) after one season in charge of Burnley. Bayern praised Conte for not abandoning his proactive, high-pressing philosophy in the face of difficult circumstances.
The Bavarians are also keen to strengthen their center backs, a position that was considered their biggest weakness last season. Tuchel's tactical issues aside, Dayo Upamecano and Matthias Düricht were injured relatively frequently last season, making it difficult for the Bavarians to run at full strength. As a result, Kim Min-Jae worked tirelessly to fill the void, which led to Eric Dier being handed the starting role after the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar.
With Ito, Bayern are looking to provide the left-footed center back that they have been lacking. Ito spent three seasons as a first-team regular at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, where he proved his worth. He can help in the buildup from the back with 토토사이트 his precise passing and can play both center and left back. A left-footed center-back is essential for Conte's tactics, so Ito is more likely to play center-back than left-back at Bayern.
If Ito plays at center back as planned, Kim Min-jae will have to fight for a starting spot as hard as he did in the second half of last season. If Kompany sticks with a four at the back, Ito will likely play left center back. Derrikht is also versatile with both feet, but is currently one of the favorites to leave the club. If the rumors of a move to Derrikht are true, Kim Min-Jae will face stiff competition from Upamecano and Dyer for the remaining spot.
Perhaps the center back position is reaching saturation point. In addition to Ito, Bayern are also keeping an eye on Leverkusen's key central defender Jonatan Tah. Tah has been with Leverkusen since 2015 and has been touted as a big-club asset with his physicality and ability to build up from the back. This season, his talents have blossomed under Alonso and he has been instrumental in helping Leverkusen to an unbeaten league campaign.
The other transfers are expected to be separate from the Ito signing. Platenberg said: "Ito will join Bayern separately from the signing of Tah. The negotiations between Bayern and Leverkusen are ongoing." Tah has reportedly reached a personal agreement with Bayern that will keep him at the club until 2029.
Son Heung-min explodes for multi-goal outburst in closed-door friendly[edytuj]
Son Heung-min is off to a great start. The striker scored a multi-goal performance in a closed-door friendly to kick-start his preparations for the new season.
Spurs Web, a Tottenham news site, reported on Thursday (June 14), "Tottenham played their first pre-season friendly this summer. Archie Gray and Lucas Verbal made their first appearances for Tottenham in the match, albeit in front of a standing-room-only crowd."
Tottenham played a behind-closed-doors friendly against League One (Third Division) side Cambridge United at the Hotspur Way training complex. Tottenham won the game 7-2. "Tottenham played with a different team in the first and second halves," wrote Football London. The first half ended 5-0, and the second half ended 2-2," explained Football London.
Son Heung-min played the first half. Son Heung-min, who started the game, got off to a great start with a multi-goal performance in the first half. Brennan Johnson added to the excitement with a hat trick. The freshmen were also outstanding. "Gray played at right fullback for Tottenham in the second half, while Verbal looked to be a creative presence in midfield," according to Football London.
Preseason is a time to tune up and get up to speed with new tactics, strategies, and new players ahead of the season. It's a time when players work hard to improve their form and get into perfect shape for the season. For Tottenham, it's the first time they'll be working 메이저사이트 with new additions Gray and Verbal.
Son Heung-min will also start warming up for the new season, albeit briefly. The South Korean international, who has been involved in various events in South Korea since the end of the A-League season in June, flew to London on July 7 and immediately joined the team to begin preparations for the 2024-25 season. This will be Son's 10th season in a Tottenham jersey, having made his debut in 2015-16.
Meanwhile, Tottenham's preparations for the season begin in earnest with a pair of preseason matches against Scottish side Hearts on Sept. 18 and Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on Sept. 20, both in Scotland.
The team will then embark on a tour of Asia. Tottenham will play the final of the J-League World Challenge against Vissel Kobe on July 27, followed by a match against Team K-League on July 31, presented by Coupang Play. On August 3, the team will face Bayern Munich. The team will then travel to London to face Munich on Aug. 11 before preparing for the 2024-25 Premier League (PL) season opener against Leicester City on Aug. 20.
Why players hugged Messi even though the goal was scored by someone else[edytuj]
Giovani Lo Celso has explained why he approached Lionel Messi after his Copa America title-winning goal.
"Messi's goal drew more attention than Lautaro Martinez's in the Copa America final," Goal.com reported on June 11 (KST). Giovanni Rosselso has explained the players' decision to head to the bench," reported Goal.com.
Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 in the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 U.S. final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, at 9 a.m. last month. Argentina lifted the trophy for the second consecutive tournament.
Messi started the match wearing the captain's armband. According to soccer stats outlet Footmob, Messi had a 100% dribbling success rate (3 of 3) and four passes into the offensive zone, all of which were aimed at Colombia's goal.
But then he suffered an unexpected injury. In the 20th minute of the second half, Messi collided with a Colombian player and went down. The medical team was called in to check his condition, but it was decided that he couldn"t continue. Gonzalez took the field in his place.
Messi couldn't hold back the tears as the game that could have been his last major tournament final came to an end. He sat down on the bench and burst into tears. It was a far cry from his usual emotional display on the pitch. His ankle was also visibly swollen.
Even in Messi's absence, Argentina was strong. Seven minutes into the second half of extra time, Martinez rattled the Colombian net with a neat shot off a pass from Lo Celso. Messi was all smiles as he scored the game-winning goal.
Martinez ran to Messi's bench after the goal and hugged him. The other players 파워볼사이트 did the same. Naturally, all eyes were drawn to Messi's tears and laughter, rather than Martinez's goal. In response, Lo Celso spoke up.
"Messi is our symbol, our captain, and he always wanted to be on the field, and after the injury, unfortunately he was unable to continue playing. As a teammate and friend, it was not good to see him suffer like that," he recalled.
"When the goal went in, the first thing that came to my mind was that I wanted to hug Messi, I thought he deserved it more than anyone else because he must be in a lot of pain. When I saw him crying and suffering like that, the first thing that came to my mind was to hug him and dedicate the goal to him," he explained.
