BlogThe Hanwha Eagles, who broke a losing streak against the Doosan Bears at home, will meet NC Dinos and KT Wiz this week. Attention is focusing on whether he will succeed in revenge against KT, who gave Hanwha a two-game losing streak last week.
Hanwha won 6-1 on the second day of a three-game series against Doosan at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 12th. Thanks to the victory, Hanwha escaped from the mire of 5 consecutive losses and recorded 39 wins, 5 draws and 52 losses. On this day, Hanwha started the game smoothly with Moon Dong-joo’s good pitching and Noh Si-hwan’s 27th home run of the season. In particular, Moon Dong-ju threw 102 pitches in 6 innings, showing a sense of stability with 4 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 1 run.
Hanwha dominated from the beginning. At the end of the first inning, with one out and first base, Noh Si-hwan hit a two-run home run that went over the middle right wall. Roh Si-hwan’s home run is the first time in 3 days since the 3 home runs against KT on the 9th. With the home run that day, Noh Si-hwan kept the top spot with the most home runs. It is six points away from second place Choi Jeong (SSG Landers).
When Doosan chased 1-2 through Jose Rojas’ triple, Hanwha added 3 runs at the end of the 7th inning to get the white flag. When leader Lee Jin-young got a walk, Lee Do-yoon hit a first-sang double that ran away 3-1 on the first run and second base that led to a send-off bunt. In the 2 out 1st and 2nd bases that led to Kim In-hwan’s walk, Noh Si-hwan knocked over Doosan reliever Kim Myung-shin and called two runners home with a double that hit the top of the fence in the middle. Roh Si-hwan increased his season RBI to 75 and ran first in this category as well. Hanwha No. 9 hitter Lee Do-yoon hit a wedge in the 8th inning with one RBI and a left-handed hit.
Hanwha, which broke its losing streak thanks to Noh Si-hwan’s home run, will fight against NC and KT this week. First of all, NC is currently in 4th place with 50 wins, 1 draw and 45 losses. NC is recording 2 wins and 2 losses against SSG and KT after 3 consecutive wins against Kiwoom on the 4th.
KT is putting its name on the 3rd place, one step ahead of NC. With 52 wins, 2 draws and 45 losses, KT won 2 consecutive wins in the match against Hanwha that started on the 8th, and then won 1 win and 1 loss against NC.먹튀검증
The factor to watch for Hanwha this week is whether Roh Si-hwan achieves the 30 home run notice. Roh Si-hwan is on the rise, hitting 6 homers in 10 games this month alone. In particular, the 3 home runs against KT on the 9th are the first individual’3 home runs in one game’ since his professional debut in 2019. As this week, it is noteworthy whether it will be able to start a home run again as it will play against KT.
Even until last season, Roh Si-hwan did not step on the 20 home run mark even once, but this year he has already surpassed the 20 home run mark. If Noh Si-hwan hits 30 home runs, he will become the first Hanwha player to hit 30 home runs in 5 years since Lee Seong-yeol (34) and Jared Hoying (30) in 2018. Noh Si-hwan is also ahead of the RBI competition. Noh Si-hwan continues to lead the season with 73 RBIs as of 3:00 pm on the 13th. Second place Choi Jeong and third place Austin Dean follow with 66 RBIs.

BlogHarry Kane, the ‘legend’ of Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL), wears the uniform of Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga.
British media all reported Kane’s move to Bayern Munich. It is news that Tottenham and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement, and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has accepted the transfer of Kane.
Britain’s ‘BBC’ reported, “Kane will go to Germany to undergo a medical test at Bayern Munich. The transfer will be finalized before the opening of the Bundesliga next week.” The fact that the ‘BBC’ reported it means that it is virtually confirmed.
In this situation, Britain’s ‘Give Me Sports’ published an article called ’12 things that could happen if Kane moves to Bayern Munich’. In other words, he predicted 12 things that would happen after Kane’s transfer. There are also shocking predictions in 12.
The 12th was ‘Alan Shearer’s EPL record for most goals is unbreakable’. Kane is currently second all-time with 213 EPL goals. Shearer leads with 260 goals. The gap is 47 goals. Kane’s trip to Germany will put a brake on his all-time No. 1 record.
The 11th, ‘Bayern Munich achieved 12 consecutive Bundesliga titles’. Bayern Munich won the league championship even without Kane. What if Kane joins? No more explanation needed.
The 10th, ‘Kane, Ballon d’Or Award’. It depends on success at Bayern Munich and success at Euro 2024.
9th, ‘Why Tottenham spent 60 million pounds (101.1 billion won) on Richarlison’ was selected. Kane’s void has no choice but to be filled by Richarlison, who was recruited with a large sum of money. Richarlison played the role of a front-line striker during his time at Everton.
The 8th, ‘Kane won the European Golden Boot’, and the 7th was introduced as ‘Bayern Munich, Challenge to win the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL)’.
The sixth is ‘Manchester United looking for a replacement for Kane’. What do you mean? Manchester United wanted Kane as their number one striker. but missed Instead, they recruited Rasmus Höilun. However, it falls short compared to Kane. United will be looking for an experienced striker similar to Kane in particular.메이저놀이터
The fifth is ‘Tottenham’s poor performance’. Tottenham, who fell to 8th place last season, could fall further without Kane. The fourth is ‘The difference between Arsenal and Tottenham is 30 points’. This means that Tottenham without Kane could fall behind arch rival Arsenal by 30 points.
The third is ‘James Madison with a bigger role’. The role and importance of Madison, who transferred to Tottenham ahead of this season, has no choice but to grow. Also, without Kane, Madison’s number of assists could decrease.
The second is the most shocking. It is predicted that ‘Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham next summer’.
The media said, “Without Kane, Son Heung-min’s grades, records, and attack points could plummet. Son Heung-min won the EPL top scorer in the 2021-22 season and did not achieve a similar level last season. If he goes, Son Heung-min’s performance can get worse. And Son Heung-min can leave Tottenham along with Kane.”
The last one is ‘Tottenham, recruiting a substitute for Kane’. It’s a natural story. Tottenham need to sign a new striker to fill Kane’s void. You can’t fill them all with richarlison. Because of Kane’s stature, it may be difficult to find a replacement.

BlogHe vowed to fight revenge. However, she again raised the bitter cup of defeat. He tried to avenge the loss he suffered in the quarterfinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics two years ago. However, she got her head down in 2023 when she lost in the quarterfinals of the FIFA Australia/New Zealand Women’s World Cup. Japan’s women’s soccer was once again blocked by Sweden’s “yellow Vikings.”
Japan played Sweden in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Women’s World Cup held at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand on the 11th (Korean time). He took revenge against Sweden, who lost 1-3 in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics two years ago. However, they lost 1-2 and failed to advance to the semifinals.먹튀검증
I made the basics with a 3-4-3 formation. However, early in the first half, Sweden’s power and height robbed them of the initiative. In the 32nd minute of the first half, Amanda Illestedt scored the opening goal and was dragged away. The first half ended with a 0-1 lead, and in the 6th minute of the second half, Philippa Angeldahl conceded a penalty kick, leading to a 0-2 lead.
He did not give up and launched a fierce counterattack. In the 28th minute of the second half, he missed a penalty kick and hit the ground, but in the 42nd minute of the second half, Honoka Hiyashi hit the chase goal and did not let go of hope. Time was running out. Due to his lack of stamina, he was unable to make a tie for an equalizer and suffered the agony of being eliminated.
After winning the tournament in 2011, he dreamed of winning the World Cup for the first time in 12 years, but his progress has stopped. They won all the matches from the group stage to the round of 16, but lost their ticket to the semifinals to Sweden. They made a success with compact soccer based on organizational power, but fell short by 2%.
Following the Tokyo Olympics, Sweden also captured Japan and occupied a higher place in this World Cup. In the round of 16, after defeating the strongest United States in a penalty shootout, Japan also took a step closer to winning the championship. After finishing runner-up to Canada at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, he will wash away the disappointment and challenge for the World Cup. On the 15th, they will face off against Spain, the ‘Invincible Armada’, who advanced to the semifinals after defeating the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarterfinals for the right to advance to the finals.

BlogYou have to play according to the situation. Does it make sense to watch the runner on first base instead of tagging the runner on third base?”
A boss who wraps you affectionately is not a good thing. It also requires a rigorous instruction.
The player who plays that role in the Lotte Giants is ‘Captain’ Chi-Hong Ahn. He stands out for his extraordinary professional spirit and his serious attitude to baseball, which can sometimes feel stern.
Senior Jeon Jun-woo now embraces his juniors as the most senior, not as a captain. Noh Jin-hyeok and Yoo Kang-nam, who have transferred to free agents, will lead the dugout, but they are not the style to dominate the locker room. It is An Chi-hong’s job to set the team atmosphere and give bitter words to the young players.
An Chi-hong led the team to victory with three hits, including a preemptive solo shot, at the end of the first inning against the KIA Tigers in Busan on the 11th. It is also a home run in two consecutive games following the previous day.
Lotte is a relatively young team with a large proportion of rookies. Kim Min-seok and Yoon Dong-hee have already established themselves as the starting outfielders, and young blood is overflowing in elements such as Han Dong-hee, Go Seung-min, Choi Jun-yong, Son Seong-bin, and Jeong Bo-geun.
In particular, Kim Min-seok, who is called the ‘retired idol’, is growing as a star representing the league by starting in the All-Star game and winning performance awards from the first year of his debut. It is a year that proves that the nickname ‘the second Lee Jung-hoo’ is not just a pop-up.
However, he has not yet been converted from an infield to an outfielder in less than a year. There are minor mistakes that are not easily noticed in the karate.
In particular, in the match against Kiwoom on the 10th, he made his first mistake in his debut and made a very large mistake, drawing keen attention. In the bottom of the 6th inning, Kiwoom Lee Yong-gyu threw a normal midfielder fly ball.먹튀검증
Min-seok Kim, who we met before the game, explained, “It’s a mistake that shouldn’t be played again. He didn’t look at the ball and looked at the runner on first base and then dropped the ball.” As the runner on first base hadn’t tagged up, he had the intention of catching it quickly.
However, An Chi-hong declared that it was a ‘meaningless action’. “It’s not easy to catch runners returning home,” he said.
“When you play baseball, you have to accurately judge the situation and act. There were a lot of runners on first base, and Min-seok Kim came in (to catch the ball) and the runner caught his eye. However, the runner on third base tagged up and was about to go home. It’s not even, and if you’re a first base runner, there’s no reason to rush. In that case, I told you to focus on catching the ball first.”
Did the bitter voice of the argument have an effect? On this day, Kim Min-seok also played a big role with 2 hits, 1 RBI and 2 points in 4 at-bats, supporting the team’s victory. Not only the defense that has become more solid, but also the active running base play as usual stood out.

BlogDavid de Gea has started negotiations with Real Madrid after parting ways with Manchester United. De Gea is currently looking for a new team as a free agent.
De Gea, who was interested in Real Madrid eight years ago, is discussing a move to Real Madrid. From the 2011-2012 season to the 2022-2023 season, after devoting more than 10 years to Manchester United, he decided to part ways.토토사이트
Real Madrid’s interest has grown rapidly after former goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered a cruciate ligament injury. On the 10th local time, about three days before the opening of La Liga, Courtois suffered a serious injury called a rupture of the left anterior cruciate ligament during training. After leaving the training ground in tears, he plans to be on the operating table within a few days.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes he cannot go into the new season with only goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. 90min reports that Real Madrid have contacted De Gea’s representative and talks are ongoing.
De Gea spent his childhood and his professional debut at Atletico Madrid. His time in La Liga wasn’t long. He soon moved to Manchester United, where he stayed for a long time.
In 2015, just before the start of the new season, it seemed that a transfer to Real Madrid would be completed, but his contract was canceled due to a mistake in the process of submitting the necessary documents for the transfer.
Attention is focusing on whether De Gea will finally be able to wear a Real Madrid shirt after eight years.

Blog‘Pioneer’ Ronaldo ‘Introducing my new Saudi League friends’.
The 23-24 Saudi Professional League, which heated up the summer transfer market, opens on the 12th (Saturday).스포츠토토
The Saudi Professional League attracted the attention of soccer fans as the league to which Cristiano Ronaldo, the “man of record,” transferred in the middle of last season.
Starting this summer, they started recruiting superstars such as ‘2022 Ballon d’Or Winner’ Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Robert Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Riyad Mahrez. The Al Ahli vs. Al Hazem match, which will mark the start of the 23-24 Saudi Professional League, kicks off tomorrow (Saturday the 12th) at 3 am.
Al-Ahli is attracting attention as Riyad Mahrez, Robert Firmino, Edouard Mendy and Alain Saint-Maximin, who played for different Premier League clubs, will play in one team.
The match that draws the most attention in the first round of the 23-24 Saudi Professional League is the match between Al Etifaq and Al Nasr, which kicks off at 3:00 am on Tuesday the 15th.
After appointing ‘Liverpool legend’ Steven Gerrard as manager, Al Etipark recruited Liverpool captain midfielder Jordan Henderson and Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.
It is of interest that Al Etipark, who has not won the league since 1987, can show a different appearance under the direction of coach Gerrard. Al Nasr, who finished second last season despite having Ronaldo, strengthened his power this summer with the signings of Mane, Marcelo Brozovic and Alex Telles.
Will Al-Nasr, who is challenging for the top league in five years, be able to see the effect of the ‘Storm Recruitment’? Meanwhile, attention is being paid to whether Ronaldo, who scored 14 goals despite joining in the middle of last season, will become the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Ittihad enter the season stronger with the addition of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Fabinho.
Al Ittihad, the “defending champion” under coach Nunu Santo, who coached Son Heung-min at Tottenham, recruits three players who have won big years in the UEFA Champions League to challenge for the second year in a row. Al Ittihad, who is aiming for the top again, will face Al Raed in the opening match to be held at midnight on Tuesday the 15th.
The main matches of the 23-24 Saudi Professional League, where you can meet numerous superstars, will be exclusively broadcast live on the sports OTT service SPOTV NOW. Live TV channels can be viewed on SPOTV ON, SPOTV ON2, and SPOTV Prime.
Samsung Lions outfielder Koo Ja-wook challenges the first batting champion in 12 years of debut. As heat waves hit the country, Ja-wook Koo’s summer bat is getting hotter. Ja-wook Koo’s batting average this season is 0.337. He has the highest batting average among hitters in the KBO […]
BlogSamsung Lions outfielder Koo Ja-wook challenges the first batting champion in 12 years of debut.
As heat waves hit the country, Ja-wook Koo’s summer bat is getting hotter. Ja-wook Koo’s batting average this season is 0.337. He has the highest batting average among hitters in the KBO League who have filled the required at-bats. His batting average in the second half is also 0.443, which is by far the first. His sense of hitting never cools off.
There is a difference of 5 leagues (0.332) from Guillermo Ereia (SSG Landers), who are second in batting average. If Koo Ja-wook, who has a batting average of 0.452 in the last 10 games, maintains the current pace, he can solidify his first place. For Koo Ja-wook, this is his first challenge to become the top batting champion after 12 years of his professional debut.
Ja-wook Koo, who joined Samsung in 2012 and established himself as a starting pitcher in 2015, wielded a hard hit enough to record a batting average of 0.349 in his debut season with the first team. At once, he emerged as a promising player to take charge of Samsung’s future. With the retirement of Lee Seung-yeop from ‘The Lion King’, there were many expectations that he would become a ‘post-Lee Seung-yeop’.
However, Ja-wook Koo went through a period of stagnation after that. He consistently posted batting averages in the late 20s to early 30s, but not to the extent of dominating the league. He had no ties to the title. The 2021 top scorer (107 points) was the first and last. In 2022, the following year, as a ‘non-FA (free agent)’, he signed a 5-year, up to 12 billion won contract and ranked first in the league annual salary (2 billion won in 2023), but due to injuries and sluggishness, he did not perform well for his ransom. couldn’t
Ja-wook Koo, who is desperate for strength, put in a lot of effort last winter. Feeling the need to strengthen his basic skills, he voluntarily participated in the finishing camp where only rookie players participated, and endured the intense training without muttering. Ja-wook Koo said, “There is no right answer in baseball. He thought that he had to constantly try various things to find something that would help me,” he said, looking back at his decision at the time.메이저놀이터
After a lot of hard work, Ja-wook Koo is leading the league this season. He said he let go of his greed and found confidence. Ja-wook Koo said, “I used to have stress about home runs, but now I don’t. Instead of greed for a home run, I try to hit it accurately.” As he erased his desire for a home run, he became free from the burden of being the ‘post Lee Seung-yeop’ that followed him throughout his career. He said, “Isn’t a double hit a long hit? I think two doubles are home runs and I am focusing on contact.”
The title of No. 1 batting that came close to my eyes. However, Ja-wook Koo said, “I don’t have any personal goals for this season.” He emphasized his non-greedy attitude, saying, “The team’s rebound is the top priority.”
What is clear is that as Koo Ja-wook is revived, Samsung is also revived. Since July, when Koo Ja-wook returned from injury (left hamstring), Samsung has also been on the rise, maintaining a 50% win rate (13 wins, 12 losses, 1 draw). It is completely different from the way he struggled with a win rate of 30% (0.380) until June. The last place that seemed impossible is right in front of you. Along with Ja-wook Koo’s roar, the lions who were intimidated are also being revived.

BlogGerman media kicker predicted that Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) would be the first choice center back in the Super Cup final.
‘Kicker’ finally checked Bayern’s power ahead of the DFL-Super Cup final on the 9th (Korean time).
The kicker said, ‘Since the squad isn’t complete yet, we shouldn’t make any final decisions. The game, which created numerous chances, was obviously enjoyable, but there was still no clear goal-scorer,’ he said, pointing out that a striker was needed.
“This is why Bayern are still in negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur for Harry Kane (Tottenham). He is looking to pay over €100 million for the 30-year-old striker,’ he added.
“The defense is still not solid. We conceded 2 goals against Manchester City, 3 goals against Liverpool and 2 more goals against AS Monaco.”
Since Bayern signed the best Serie A defender Kim Min-jae in the transfer market this summer, there is no choice but to be left with regret about these results in the pre-season.
Kim Min-jae recorded a flashing long kick assist against Liverpool. In the match with Kawasaki Frontale, he also showed off his sharp overlapping. He showed off his speed in no way inferior to Liverpool ace Mohammed Salah, as well as aerial competition, tackling, and build-up skills, but mistakes were often noticed.토토사이트
In the game against AS Monaco, he made a pass miss that was directly related to the conceded point.
The kicker said, ‘The newly recruited Kim Min-jae made a mistake in the process of building the first goal. Matisse Tell also made a fatal mistake.”
Nevertheless, Kim Min-jae is still the first option.
Kicker evaluated, “Judging by what has been shown so far, the order is Kim Min-jae, Benjamin Pavar, De Ligt, and Dayo Upamecano.”
Bayern will officially start the 2023-2024 season with RB Leipzig and the DFL-Super Cup final at the Allianz Arena in Munich at 3:45 am on the 13th. The Super Cup is a competition between the previous season’s Bundesliga champions and the DFB-Pokal (FA Cup) winners. Bayern were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the DFB-Pokal last season.
Australia and Japan are the twins of Asian women’s football.

BlogAustralia and Japan are the twins of Asian women’s football. Among the 37 women’s soccer member countries of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), these are the two countries with the highest FIFA (International Football Federation) world rankings (as of June 9, 2023). Australia is in 10th place (1919.69 points), and Japan is in 11th place (1916.68 points) with a narrow difference (3.01 points).
As proof of this, the two countries also show the pride of Asian football in the 2023 Australia-New Zealand FIFA Women’s World Cup. They are standing side by side in the quarterfinals, the second stage of the knockout stage.
In this World Cup, which is unfolding with Europe’s strength, the two countries do not intend to stop their upward momentum as the bastions of Asian football. In particular, Japan is the only one in the quarterfinals to win four consecutive victories, and is considered a strong candidate for the championship. England and Sweden, who posted three consecutive victories in the group stage, passed the gates of the round of 16 with a penalty shootout victory, and the light fades somewhat. In the round of 16, England and Sweden defeated Nigeria (4-2) and the United States (5-4) on penalties, respectively.
Australia and Japan, which unleashed their potential to the fullest, are highly regarded as having accumulated enough power to surpass the championship. The odds of winning are just one facet of it. In the ranking of odds of winning published by Opta Analyst, a media specializing in sports statistics, after the quarterfinals were confirmed, Australia and Japan were ranked second (15.46%) and fourth (13.28%), respectively. Looking at the FIFA world rankings, compared to the fact that they are ranked 6th and 7th among the countries advancing to the quarterfinals, it shows that they are highly regarded and are close to the top.
Australia and Japan inflate ambitions to build Asian football pride on the rise
Looking at the quarterfinals of the Australia-New Zealand World Cup, it is felt again that ‘Europe is the home of football’. There are five member countries of the UEFA (European Football Confederation). After that, AFC (2) and CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation 1) lined up. In terms of appearance, even if AFC with Australia and Japan put together and CONMEBOL, which Colombia is enduring, they are inferior to 3-5. It is also behind the FIFA world rankings. Even the Netherlands (9th, 1980.47), which is the lowest in the FIFA rankings among the five countries, is ahead of the three countries (Australia, Japan, and Colombia).
However, this ranking was made 2 months ago. In the World Cup, which competes for supremacy in a short-term game in the group-knockout stage format, not a pennant race, the FIFA world rankings are only for reference. The United States (2090.03 points), the world number 1 player in the FIFA World Ranking, who was aiming for an unprecedented three-straight victory, suffered bitter disappointment in the round of 16, and Germany (2061.56 points), who dreamed of conquering the third summit, each suffered bitter disappointment in the group round. It is the ‘illusion of ranking’.
In comparison, the odds of winning are more realistic. This is because it is a statistic calculated based on objective history and major tournament results, as well as performance and flow shown in this World Cup and opponents’ records.
In this context, it is reasonable that England (2040.76 points), 4th in the FIFA World Ranking, is the only country with a score in the 20% range (27.3) and is ranked first in the championship (see table). England, which has succeeded in a steady generational change in recent years, is enjoying its heyday, such as reaching the top of the 2022 UEFA Women’s Championship held in its home country. Dutch coach Sarina Wichmann is considered one of the best coaches in women’s football. In addition, it is well known that the power built by the best players in each position is very solid.
Therefore, based on the probability of winning, it seems that Australia and Japan, which are showing off an upward trend in this World Cup, can sufficiently show that Asia is at the top of the world in women’s soccer. In terms of bracket, Australia and Japan can only meet in the final. And that possibility cannot be ruled out at all. At least one country seems to be able to show off the potential of Asian football by reaching the final stage.
Japan is a slightly more advantageous itinerary than Australia. Sweden, who will face off in the quarterfinals, is again the key. If Spain overcomes this hurdle, it is considered that it will be a rather easy bout for Spain, which is likely to come up against the Netherlands. Although the odds of winning are somewhat behind third-place Spain (14.97%), Japan has a pleasant experience in the group stage (C) round and won 4-0.먹튀검증
Moreover, in this World Cup, Japan is showing off its best offensive and defensive power. It was an outstanding balance between offense and defense, scoring 14 goals in 4 games (average 3.5 points per game) and Zarin Gobi defense, conceding only 1 goal (average 0.25 points per game).
Australia, which has the advantage of a home ground, is a thorny field compared to Japan. The match against France in the quarterfinals is also not easy, and if we break through this barrier, we will meet England, who will easily defeat Colombia. In this case, it is a bout that seems to be the de facto final of this World Cup, with the probability of winning 1-2 ranks.
Can the day come when Australia and Japan meet in the final stage to compete for supremacy and show off the prestige of Asian football to the world?
