Mickey van der Pen expressed his gratitude to coach Enze Postecoglou.

Britain’s Daily Mail reported on the 26th (Korean time), “Van der Pen revealed the locker room conversation between Postekoglou, who helped Tottenham counterattack against Arsenal. Coach Postekoglou is credited with uniting the club like a family. was recognized,” he said in an interview with van der Pen.메이저사이트

“It’s a good mentality for us,” said van der Pen. “Normally in games like this, once you’re behind it’s really hard to come back. We showed the mentality twice to catch up. We wanted three points, but we got them anyway.” said.

He continued: “Coach Postekoglou is very clear and honest. The players know what he expects from us and I know what I need to do for him. He brings us together like a family. “Yes, he is like a father. We are like brothers and we must work hard for each other,” he added.

Lastly, he said, “As you can see on the pitch, we play for each other, fight for each other, and do everything for each other. Coach Postekoglou is creating that environment.”

Tottenham recorded a 2-2 draw in the North London derby away match against Arsenal on the 24th. It was the result of persistence. Christian Romero’s own goal came in the 26th minute of the first half. Then, Son Heung-min scored the equalizer in the 42nd minute of the first half, but conceded a penalty kick (PK) in the 9th minute of the second half. And in just one minute, Son Heung-min scored again, bringing the score back to square one.

The Arsenal game was seen as a true test for coach Postekoglou. This is because it was the first decisive match against a strong team since entering the Premier League (PL). However, they received applause as they took one point away from the Emirates Stadium.

According to van der Pen’s interview, it was possible because of the locker room atmosphere created by coach Postekoglou and the precise instructions given. Above all, he could very well feel the deep trust the players had in their coach.

Meanwhile, coach Postekoglou said after the match against Arsenal, “I was really happy. The opponent was a top-tier team, and we had an unfortunate own goal and even conceded a penalty kick, so things didn’t go in our favor. The resilience the players showed, and what kind of team we are. “It was possible because we had a true belief in what we wanted to become. I would like to applaud the players who continued to persevere and persevere,” he said.

Hwang Seon-hong, who is attempting to win three consecutive Asian Games for the first time in history, will be able to meet the host country, China, in the quarterfinals.

The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games men’s soccer group stage ended with the match between Japan and Palestine held at China’s Xiaoshan Sports Center Stadium at 7:30 pm on the 25th.

In this tournament, in which 23 countries are divided into 6 groups, the 1st and 2nd place teams in each group and the 4 best performing 3rd place teams advance to the round of 16.

Korea defeated Kuwait 9-0 in the first game and Thailand 4-0 in the second game, taking first place in the group and advancing to the round of 16 after two games. They defeated Bahrain 3-0 in the third game and advanced to the round of 16 with all three wins.

According to the bracket, they will clash with Kyrgyzstan, second place in Group F, at the Jinhua Sports Center Stadium in China on the 27th for a ticket to the quarterfinals.

If Korea defeats Kyrgyzstan, it will meet the winning team of Group A 1st place China and Group D 2nd place Qatar in the quarterfinals.

China is aiming to reach at least the semifinals in this tournament held in Hangzhou. Coach Djordjevic, who had a long career as a coach in Serbia’s national and professional teams, took over the reins last February and has been building up his team for a long time. They passed the group stage with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 games, and their goal differential was +8, the second largest among participating countries after Korea.

Also, since the game is being held in a home stadium in China, Korea will have to compete with tens of thousands of Chinese spectators. At Huanglong Stadium, where the Chinese national team played, more than 30,000 spectators gathered and chanted “Jyayo” throughout the three games. There is a high possibility that the Hwangryong Sports Center stadium will be filled with 51,971 spectators when the match is played against Korea.

Qatar, which was in Group D along with Japan and Qatar, advanced to the round of 16 in second place among Group 3 teams despite recording 1 draw, 1 loss, and -2 goal difference. In the group stage, they lost 1-3 to Japan and drew 0-0 with Palestine. In the match between China and Qatar, the prevailing view is that China will advance to the quarterfinals due to its strength.

On the same table as Korea, there are matches between India (A2) – Saudi Arabia (B2) and Uzbekistan (C1) – Indonesia (F3). If Korea advances to the semifinals, one of the four teams will be the opponent.

On the opposite table, a match was made of Iran (B1)-Thailand (C3), Hong Kong (C2)-Palestine (D2), North Korea (F1)-Bahrain (B3), and Japan (D1)-Myanmar (A3). There is a possibility that Japan, which is considered a favorite along with Korea, will face North Korea in the quarterfinals. If North Korea had placed second in Group F, the inter-Korean match would have been possible only in the finals of the bracket or the bronze medal game.

Their opponent in the round of 16, Kyrgyzstan, was a team that faced Korea in a dramatic way. Unlike Korea, which secured first place in the group with two games, Kyrgyzstan did not score a single goal or win any points in two games.메이저사이트

In the third game against Chinese Taipei, they were pulled by giving up the first goal in the 34th minute of the first half. In the real-time rankings, Taiwan, which gained 3 points, ranked second in Group F and was mentioned as a potential opponent for Korea.

But then a reversal occurred. Kyrgyzstan scored the equalizer and first goal of the tournament in extra time in the first half, then added two more goals in the second half. At the same time, North Korea, which had two wins, took a 1-0 lead over Indonesia, and the three teams – Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Taiwan – were tied with three points. Then, the goal difference was considered, and this time, Indonesia was ahead of Kyrgyzstan with 0 points, -1 point. However, Kyrgyzstan’s goal in extra time in the second half turned the rankings around again. Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia have the same goal difference, but in the next standard, most goals, Kyrgyzstan leads Indonesia with 4 goals, with 2 goals. The four goals scored in the third game lifted the team, which was on the verge of being eliminated from the group stage, to second place in the group.

Hwang Seon-hong-ho remembers winning 1-0 against Kyrgyzstan in the second match of Group B of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup group stage held at the Changwon Football Center in Gyeongnam on the 9th.

Will 160km fireballer Hanwha rookie Kim Seo-hyun’s second year be a starter or a bullpen? 

Seohyun Kim was selected by Hanwha as the first overall pick in the 2023 rookie draft and joined. Hanwha acknowledged Kim Seo-hyun’s infinite potential by signing a contract with a down payment of 500 million won.

Kim Seo-hyun, who went through spring camp and exhibition games, was not included in the opening day entry, and started the season in the Futures League. Hanwha appointed Kim Seo-hyun as a bullpen pitcher in the second team. Kim Seo-hyun, who adapted quickly, made his professional debut against Doosan in Daejeon on April 19, and had a strong debut with perfect pitching with 2 strikeouts in 1 inning. In his debut game, his highest velocity was 157.9 km based on the KBO official PTS and 160.1 km based on the TrackMan system used by the Hanwha team.

Kim Seo-hyun, who throws a fast ball close to 160 km/h, appeared to be adapting to the professional stage without difficulty, with 1 save and ERA of 3.60 in 14 games as of the end of May while playing as a bullpen pitcher.

However, after performing poorly in the game against Doosan on June 7, allowing 2 runs, 1 walk, and 1 walk in ⅓ innings, he was sent down to the 2nd team the next day. He stayed in the second team for about two months, playing as a starting pitcher, and returned to the first team on August 10.

However, on August 11th against Doosan, he collapsed with 3 walks, 6 walks, 2 strikers, and 4 runs in 2⅔ innings. He made his first appearance as a starting pitcher in the first team against NC on August 17, but performed poorly, allowing 3 hits, 4 walks, and 3 runs in 2 innings. His walks increased significantly and he found himself not throwing the ball well. 2nd group trip again.

Seo-Hyun Kim realized the difficulties of the professional stage with an ERA of 16.88 in June (2⅔ 5 runs in 4 games) and 13.50 in August (7 runs in 4⅔ innings in 2 games). He played consistently as a starter in the second team and had the opportunity to be temporarily selected in the first team in September, but was unable to take the opportunity due to rain cancellation. 

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho mentioned Kim Seo-hyun’s position at Jamsil Stadium on the 24th, mentioning nurturing a setup man. Coach Choi said, “Now, during the final camp, we will have to decide which position (Kim) Seohyun will be assigned to, but if young players such as Kim Seohyun, Park Junyoung, and Kim Gyuyeon are judged to be better in the bullpen than the starters with a relatively high speed, they will be moved to the bullpen. ) We need to grow it,” he said. The starting lineup includes young pitchers such as Moon Dong-ju, who runs 160km, Han Seung-ju, and Nam Ji-min.

In the first team, he played as a bullpen, and in the second team, he played 9 games as a starter since June. The Futures League is now over. Coach Choi plans to elevate Kim Seo-hyun to the first team at the end of the season and give her a chance to pitch once or twice. 

Coach Choi said, “We need to develop setup man resources,” and added, “It hasn’t been long since Lee Min-woo came up and pitched, but players like Lee Min-woo, Jang Si-hwan, and Joo Hyun-hyun are getting older in their mid-30s. Si-hwan is going into his late 30s.” He said the bullpen needs to be improved. 먹튀검증

He continued, “It’s not easy for setup man resources if they don’t have velocity. Dae-kyung Yoon is in his late 20s, but in fact, his (fastball) velocity can be dangerous even if his pitch is a little off. These days, when Jang Si-hwan is a little bad, Gyu-yeon is doing well. “Park Yun-cheol is also good, but he throws a lot of fastballs. He has a good changeup and curve, but he doesn’t throw a breaking ball very well and only throws a fastball.”

In the plan to develop Hanwha’s bullpen into pitchers with fast balls, concerns over Kim Seo-hyun’s position will increase. 

How would James Madison feel after being provoked by his own ceremony?

Tottenham drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the 6th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season held at the Emirates Stadium in London, England at 10 p.m. on the 24th (Korean time). Tottenham, who only had 1 point, had to be satisfied with 4th place in the league with 14 points. Arsenal, whose goal difference was behind Tottenham, fell to 5th place.

The player who stood out next to Son Heung-min in this game was rising ace Madison. Every moment Son Heung-min scored, Madison was helping him. But Madison must have been in a bad mood during the game.스포츠토토

This is because Saka, who was very active at Arsenal, stole(?) Maddison’s signature ceremony, the dart ceremony. Saka provoked Maddison by showing a dart ceremony every time Arsenal scored.

Still, Madison showed himself as a great player in the post-game interview. He said, “When Saka and I were selected for the national team, we joked and talked about small things. I heard that Saka had a dart ceremony, and even when I was helping the first goal, I think he was only doing a dart ceremony. I went to Saka later and said, “I’ll talk about it,” he said, showing his composure.

Madison was referring to the situation during Tottenham’s first equalizer. This is because Madison perfectly penetrated Saka before sending an exquisite pass to Son Heung-min. He showed his composure as a senior by surpassing Saka and recording assists.

Allegedly, Saka took a little revenge on Maddison for giving him a Tottenham scarf as a birthday present. Saka’s birthday was September 5th. On his birthday, Saka had the pleasure of being named England’s Player of the Year. The player who presented this award was Madison.

Maddison presented the award to Saka at the time and heartily congratulated him, saying, “You are one of the best players in the world. It must be a huge honor. Not many people have won England Player of the Year two years in a row. It is a great achievement.” He continued by saying, “I haven’t given you a birthday present yet, but the present is a Tottenham scarf,” and made a harsh(?) prank.

It’s a prank that can happen because the two players get along well. When Madison said with a serious expression that he was giving him a Tottenham scarf as a birthday present, Saka burst out laughing. Saka had previously declined his birthday gift, laughing and saying, “I’ll give your Tottenham scarf back to you.”

Lee Kang-in (22, PSG) played his first game as a Korean representative at the Asian Games, but was replaced before halftime.”

France’s ‘RMC Sports’ announced the news of Lee Kang-in’s participation in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games on the 25th (Korean time), saying, “There is a reason why Lee Kang-in, who plays for the Korean national team, was replaced in the first half.”

The Korean Asian Games team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, played the third match of Group E of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games against Bahrain at the Jinhua Sports Center Stadium in China on the 24th and won 3-0.

As a result, Korea won all three group stage games, including Bahrain.

Hwang Seon-hong, who won the last game against Thailand and achieved his second win in the group, confirming first place in the group early on. As the Group F rankings were finalized, Kyrgyzstan was selected as the opponent for the round of 16.

Lee Kang-in, who boarded the Hwang Seon-hong on the 21st, appeared as a ‘surprise’ starter in this game. Lee Kang-in was replaced by Ko Young-jun in the 36th minute of the first half and retired to the bench before the end of the first half, but his presence was clear. He drew a foul in a good position in the 2nd and 4th minutes of the first half, resulting in a free kick opportunity.

Afterwards, in the 25th minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in, who exchanged the ball with a teammate, immediately threw a low, quick pass toward Jung Woo-young, who was penetrating the left flank, and Jung Woo-young connected with an exquisite right-footed out-front cross. The ball flew precisely toward the head of Cho Young-wook, who was rushing, but was blocked by the goalkeeper’s save. It was a close moment to scoring.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in’s left foot shined again. Lee Kang-in saw Park Gyu-hyun quickly penetrating the left flank and made an accurate pass. Although it didn’t result in a goal, it was a moment to see Lee Kang-in’s brilliant pass.

French local media also paid close attention to Lee Kang-in’s movements. The media reported, “Lee Kang-in played his first game as a representative of Korea at the Asian Games, but was replaced before halftime.” 스포츠토토

The media speculated, “Is it because they were concerned about Lee Kang-in’s injury? According to Korean media reports, that is not the case. It is probably the result of an agreement between PSG and the Korea Football Association (KFA).”

At the same time, RMC announced, “Lee Kang-in, who played 143 minutes for PSG this season, performed brilliantly in his UEFA Champions League debut against Borussia Dortmund on the 20th, and subsequently joined the national team before the round of 16 of the Asian Games.” .

Lee Kang-in’s early replacement was coach Hwang Seon-hong’s plan. Coach Hwang, who met after the game, explained, “Lee Kang-in planned to play for about 30 minutes. He tried to check his condition and other things according to that time. He said he would play more, but he distributed the game as planned and played the game.” .

The oldest fielders on the Hangzhou Asian Games team are outfielders Jihoon Choi (SSG Landers) and Wonjun Choi (KIA Tigers). The two players, born in 1997, are friends who will be responsible for the Asian Games outfield together.

Choi Ji-hoon, who met with reporters after finishing Gocheok Dome national team training on September 24, said, “Rather than saying he is the oldest member of this team, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say he is just one or two years older than me (laughter)? Compared to when I was called up to the WBC national team, I feel more responsibility because I have to play as a starting player. “If you go and don’t make any mistakes, you’ll be lucky,” he said.

Choi Won-jun also said, “I played center field defense on the team, but now that I am with the national team, I am practicing defense in right field. This is a position he has played in before, so he is preparing without any major problems. “I have to work well with his friend (Choi) Ji-hoon,” he said.

Choi Ji-hoon and Choi Won-jun spoke properly for the first time when they were called up to the national team for the Asian Games. Although we are friends of the same age, we never met each other personally on our team.

Choi Ji-hoon said, “It was the first time I had a proper conversation with (Choi) Won-jun when I came to the national team. I knew of Wonjun’s existence when I was in high school. He was famous at the time because he was a very good player. “I definitely feel at ease because I have friends on the national team,” he said, casting a sympathetic look toward Choi Won-jun.

Unlike Choi Ji-hoon, who has not yet completed his military service, Choi Won-jun returned to his team after being discharged from the Sangmu Baseball Team this year. Wonjun Choi said, “The military is not an easy place (laughter). “I think I should help my friend win the gold medal,” he said, nodding.

Both players expressed concerns about adapting to the local cuisine at the competition. If it is difficult to adapt to the food, both players can perform the ‘hamburger mukbang’ every day.

Jihoon Choi said, “I’m worried because I’ve never tried local Chinese food. “I don’t care about any food, but if strong spices don’t suit my taste, I’ll just eat hamburgers,” he said. Wonjun Choi said, “I’m worried because I tend to be a bit picky about food. “I’ll have to eat a hamburger with Jihoon too,” he said with a smile.

As the two players born in 1997 are the best veteran fielders, the age group of the baseball team at this Asian Games is noticeably younger. Naturally, it is bound to have an impact on the national team atmosphere.먹튀검증

Choi Ji-hoon said, “When many young players gather together, you can feel their unique fighting spirit. I think (Kim) Hye-seong, who has a lot of experience with the national team, will lead the mood well. It feels like we can talk to each other well without anyone stepping forward. “I expect that we will be able to come together well as one team,” he emphasized.

During the Asian Games national team convocation period, the KBO League will proceed without interruption. Players inevitably feel unfamiliar with the feeling of participating in national team training even while their team’s game is in progress.

Choi Ji-hoon said, “By coincidence, the team won on the first day when (Park) Seong-han and I were absent (laughter). I think the national team should continue to watch and support their team’s games. “I was even more thankful that the coach told me not to worry about the team and to go at peace,” he said.

Choi Won-jun also said, “I’m watching our team’s game, and it seems like there’s no big hole even if I’m missing. That’s why there are so many good players in our team’s outfield. All my teammates told me was to buy them gifts (laughter). “I have to go to Hangzhou and think about that too,” he said with a smile.

FC Barcelona produced a thrilling come-from-behind drama by scoring 3 goals in the last 8 minutes of the second half to win 3-2.

Goalscorer Robert Lewandowski scored two goals and right-back Joao Cancelo scored the winning goal.

In the 6th round of the 2023-2024 Spanish La Liga home game against Celta Vigo held at the Estadi Olympique Luis Companiès in Barcelona on the 23rd (local time).

On this day, Barça seemed to be at a loss as they conceded goals in succession to Jörgen Strand Larsen (19th minute of the first half) and Anastasios Dubicas (31st minute of the second half).

However, in the 36th and 40th minutes of the second half, Robert Lewandowski scored goals in succession with the help of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, respectively, to tie the game. Then, in the 44th minute of the second half,

right fullback Joao Cancelo scored a goal off an assist from Pablo Gavi to turn the game around. It was. The game continued until 8 minutes of extra time in the second half and ended just like that.

Gabi, who replaced the injured Frenkie de Jong in the 36th minute of the first half, provided a valuable assist that day, laying the foundation for the team’s victory.

Barça rose to first place in La Liga with 5 wins and 1 draw (16 points). Rival Real Madrid fell to third place with five wins (15 points), but can regain the lead if they win the away derby against Atletico Madrid at 4 a.m. on the 25th (Korean time).스포츠토토

Coach Xavi Hernández said after the game, “It was a cruel comeback win. “We played with faith and courage, although we were a little sloppy at times,” he said.

Barca gained momentum by winning 5-0 in each of the last two games against Royal Antwerp (Champions League) and Real Betis (La Liga), but the game did not go well on this day.

On this day, coach They used a 4-3-3 tactic with Tegen as the starting goalkeeper.

Celta Vigo came out in a 5-3-2 formation with Jörgen Strand Larsen-Lago Aspas as the top two.

Barça dominated the game on this day with a 74.2% possession rate, but had to play a difficult game, recording 15-13 (effective 6-7) in shots taken.

An unusual move stood out in Korean soccer this summer.메이저사이트 Seven K-League players went directly to Europe. This is the highest number ever for a K-League player born in Europe. Last June, Kim Ji-soo of Seongnam FC made a splash by transferring to Brentford of the English Premier League. World Cup star Cho Kyu-seong also headed to Denmark’s powerhouse Midtjylland. Gangwon FC’s Yang Hyun-jun and Busan I’Park’s Kwon Hyuk-gyu both transferred to Scotland’s absolute powerhouse Celtic FC. At the end of August, European groups were born one after another. Bae Jun-ho of Daejeon Hana Citizen left for Stoke City in the English Championship (Second Division), and Lee Han-beom of FC Seoul left for Midtjylland. Suwon Samsung’s Hwang In-taek joined Portugal’s Estoril Praia on a one-year loan.

Except for Jo Gyu-seong, who was born in 1998, the remaining six were all born after 2001. Kwon Hyuk-gyu was born in 2001, Yang Hyun-jun and Lee Han-beom were born in 2002, and Hwang In-taek and Bae Jun-ho were born in 2003. Jisoo Kim, born in December 2004, is only 18 years old. Most players are in their late teens or early 20s. Besides Cho Kyu-seong, Yang Hyun-jun is the only player who was selected for the A national team before going to Europe. It can be seen that this transfer focuses on possibility and potential.

Another unique feature is the diversification of positions. In the past, the proportion of side positions was high. Relatively high evaluations were given to his unique diligence and mobility, or his exceptional speed and ability to use both feet. In comparison, Korean players are now diversifying into positions that were previously considered difficult to compete on the European stage. Kim Ji-su and Lee Han-beom are typical center backs, and Hwang In-taek is a multi-defender who plays both the center and the side. Kwon Hyuk-gyu plays central midfielder, and Bae Jun-ho plays both attacking midfielder and side midfielder. Yang Hyun-jun is a side striker who uses both feet to make quick breakthroughs, which has been favored in Europe in the past.

Why is this change happening? First of all, it is about raising awareness in Europe. Perspectives on Asian athletes have changed. Recently, Korea and Japan have been in the spotlight as markets for player supply and demand, replacing South America and Africa. This is because the prices of top prospects in South America, such as Brazil and Argentina, have risen significantly. A young player in his mid to late teens is valued at more than 30 billion won. The U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) has also emerged as a competitor to recruit new players. It is geographically and culturally close, and is a stage with notable growth. Prospective African players tend to have their career paths decided early on through a preemptive recruitment process. This is the case when a player grows up at a local academy affiliated with a big European club at a young age. The niche markets that the clubs that were left behind by the capital power of the big clubs were found in Asia, especially Korea and Japan.

The evaluation of Korean and Japanese players can be summarized as ‘players whose market value is still low, but who are well-educated in a high-quality system.’ In the past, because they did not trust this system, they chose to take Asian players in their early teens and develop them within their system. Representative examples include the trio of Baek Seung-ho, Lee Seung-woo, and Jang Gyeol-hee, who grew up in FC Barcelona’s youth system, LaMasia. However, FIFA has put the brakes on the reckless recruitment of prospects. Barcelona received severe punishment, and its policy of recruiting and nurturing underage players slowed down.

Korea and Japan have long recognized the importance of the training system. Thanks to continuous revisions and developments as if competing with each other, Europe has reached a level of trustworthiness. In addition, players from both countries have recently proven that they can play as starting players for a long time at the highest level in Europe. Korea’s representative players are Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), while Japan’s representatives include Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), Wataru Endo (Liverpool), and Gamada. Daichi (Lazio), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal), Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), etc. In particular, Son Heung-min is the top scorer in the Premier League. This season, he is showing leadership throughout the team as captain. Kim Min-jae also joined a big club two years after entering Europe. He went through Fenerbahce and Napoli and recorded the highest transfer fee ever for an Asian player (approximately 71 billion won). They became confident that if they brought Asian gemstones to Europe and crafted them well, their value could be increased 10 to 20 times or more.

The perception of the market, players, and agents has changed.

As a result, the scouting methods of European clubs themselves changed. In the past, short-term impact, such as the number of appearances in international matches or performance in the World Cup, was a kind of guarantee. Now, player growth is observed over a long period of time. After discovering a player with the style and strengths they need, they take a closer look. We have a dedicated Asia department and dispatch to Korea and Japan several times a year. There are also clubs that sign agreements with agencies and contract full-time scouts.

Celtic, Brentford and Midtjylland are particularly interested in the Korean market. These are also teams that have garnered attention for the revolution that changed the scouting system. The team leading the Asian strategy is Celtic. When coach Enzi Postecoglou, now the head coach of Tottenham, took over at Celtic, he successfully recruited a large number of Japanese players. He is an Australian national and has experience in charge of a Japanese J-League club. This is the background to evaluating the competitiveness of Asian athletes without prejudice. After success with Japanese players, he turned his attention to Korea. Following Oh Hyun-gyu last winter, Celtic took Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyuk-gyu this summer to form a Korean trio. Brentford and Midtjylland are brother clubs with the same owner. The club’s owner, Matthew Benham, is a former professional gambler. As he runs a sports analysis company, he is a person who trusts detailed research, quantitative analysis, and data-based reports. The existing European youth system, which nurtured local prospects over a long period of 7 to 8 years, was abolished. It was judged to be inefficient compared to the time and cost involved. Instead, they chose to operate a team like the American Major League, bringing in promising players in their late teens from around the world and training them intensively in the B team.

Behind the scenes, there is also a changed atmosphere in the European soccer market. As the soccer industry grows, labor costs also rise sharply. The value of players in their late teens exceeds tens of billions of dollars, reaching 100 billion won. Naturally, big clubs with strong financial power become stronger. The Asian player’s potential could make him an attractive option for small and medium-sized clubs. Teams that were hesitant to invest more than 2 billion won in recruiting Asian players in the past are now actively spending around 3 billion won to secure young players. Coincidentally, the British Ministry of Labor is keeping pace with this trend. Since last June, the standards for issuance of work permits (employment visas) have been relaxed. This is an important background that allowed Kim Ji-soo and Bae Jun-ho, who had almost no international appearances, to advance to England.

The perception of domestic players has also changed. Teenage players who grew up watching the performances of Park Ji-sung and Son Heung-min prepare systematically with a clear goal and ambition of advancing to Europe. Since he was a teenager, he has been receiving professional physical training at his own expense. In terms of self-management, there are many prospects who have already reached the professional level. There is a trend of actively working on the issue of military service, which is the biggest barrier to traveling to Europe. Oh Hyeon-gyu and Kwon Hyeok-gyu enlisted in the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Sangmu) before they turned 20. While performing military service, he also built his skills through consistent participation. In the past, the atmosphere was mainly to meet the military enlistment age limit (27 years old at the time of application) or to resolve the issue through the Asian Games and Olympics.

The insertion of a buyout clause, which is only familiar in Europe, has a strong purpose for advancing into Europe. When teenage prospects join a K-League club, if a team offers a certain amount of money, they get permission to transfer and naturally try to go to Europe. In fact, this summer, Kim Ji-soo and Lee Han-beom took advantage of this system and went to Europe. The perception of agents who act as a link in transfers has also changed. In the past, many agents preferred to receive large fees by sending transfers to China or the Middle East, where transfer fees were two to three times higher than those in Europe. However, young agents who are emerging recently emphasize shared growth. This is because the player’s value will increase after 3 to 4 years, and the fee that can be paid if he goes to a big club is much larger. The agent fee incurred when Kim Min-jae transferred to Bayern Munich amounts to 21 billion won. The perception of focusing on future value rather than the immediate lump sum is a trend that is reaching consensus between players and agents. The number of players taking on the challenge of moving to Europe is expected to continue to increase.

LG won against Hanwha.

Veteran Kim Jin-seong, who took the mound in the 9th inning with one out and runners on first and second base, recorded a save. Excluding the recent save in a cold game due to rainfall, this is the first time wearing an LG uniform that he has recorded a save after finishing the game in the 9th inning.

After the game, Manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “It was an important game that should not have resulted in consecutive losses after consecutive wins, and I would like to praise the players for concentrating until the end and creating a victory. Lim Chan-gyu’s perfect pitching as a starter while pitching aggressively inside the strike zone for the first time in a long time was the stepping stone to victory 

. “It was a tough situation, but Kim Jin-seong finished the game well and was able to win.”

He continued, “On offense, Kim Hyun-soo’s single in the first inning set the tone for the game, and when additional runs were needed, Oh Ji-hwan’s home run led the game, but no additional runs were scored and it became a somewhat difficult game at the end.”

On this day, 22,765 spectators entered Jamsil Stadium. Coach Yeom said, “We were able to achieve an important victory thanks to the enthusiastic support of many fans who came over the weekend. Thank you.” 

LG will play the final game of the 16th game of the season against Hanwha at Jamsil Stadium on the 24th. LG’s starting pitcher is Choi Won-tae, and Hanwha’s starting pitcher is Lee Tae-yang.
