"Now you don't just have to work hard."

 

Middle blocker Seo Chae-won 21 is set to take on a new challenge. He will leave his debut team Pepper Savings Bank and start anew at GS Caltex. GS Caltex recently nominated Seo as a compensation player for Libero Han Da-hye, who became a free agent and went to Pepper Savings Bank.

 

Seo Chae-won, a graduate of Daegu Il Middle School and Daegu Girls' High School, was nominated for Pepper Savings Bank as the third overall rookie draft in 2021. In particular, he won the middle school with Dr. Lang Pepper Savings Bank and Jeong Yoon-ju Heungkuk Life Insurance when he was in Daegu middle school, and he also showed impressive performance at Daegu Girls' High School.

 

However, barriers to professional baseball were high. He only played in 12 games 19 sets in his debut season. In the 2022-23 season, he showed his potential by scoring 116 points in 32 games 115 sets but played in only 11 games in the 2023-24 season. He was not given a chance because he was lagging behind Ha Hye-jin and MJ Phillips registered name: Phillips.

 

GS Caltex can become a land of new opportunities for Seo Chae-won. With the retirement of Jung Dae-young and Han Su-ji, a new starting competition has begun. It competes with close sisters Choi Ga-eun, Oh Se-yeon and Yoon Gyeol.

 

Seo Chae-won told MK Sports over the phone on Monday, "I am happy that GS Caltex, a prestigious team, chose me. The accommodation is the best, and the food is delicious. We are forming a team with young players, and I want to show good performance."

 

Leaving his debut team, Pepper Savings Bank, I wouldn't have felt comfortable.

LG finished the season unfortunately. It had a close game with KT, but stopped its strides in the semifinal playoff.

 

LG failed to advance to the Champions League for the first time in 10 seasons after losing in the last fifth game of the semifinal PO against KT held at home on the 24th. LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, "I am grateful to the players who worked hard for a season. Even when foreign players were injured, I was ranked second in the regular league, but I still have to learn more."

 

Disappointed by the highly anticipated failure to advance to the Champions League, Cho said, "It was a very difficult season. As (Asem) Maray returned after leaving the team due to injury and played the sixth round, I thought 'the mood is good this year', but I failed to win the match in the end," adding, "The result should have come out better considering the preparation process and the amount of practice we had in the summer."  스포츠토토

 

LG, which led to 16 points in the first half in the last fifth game, made consecutive errors in the second half and killed itself. Coach Cho stressed, "We need to make the right judgment of high-paid people who were leading by 16 points and made irresponsible errors."

 

In his first season as manager, LG went straight to the semi-finals but lost three consecutive games to SK due to Maray's injury. This season, LG failed to advance to the championship after the fifth round match against KT. "I repeated the situation exactly the same last year. We need to find a way and come back to a stronger and improved team," Cho said.

Lee Kang-in scored an additional goal against Real Sociedad on the 6th

Mbappe, with Lee Kang-in's help, fired a wedge

 

The "K-K Line" (Killian-Kangin), which Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boasts, has been restarted. Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang-in collaborated to score a goal with fantastic teamwork. Lee Kang-in stabbed and Mbappe finished after dribbling at speed of light and scored a winning goal.

 

Lee Kang-in played in an away match against Real Sociedad in the second leg of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League round of 16 at Real Arena in San Sebastian, Spain on Sunday (Korea time). He did not receive a call to start. He was deployed as a substitute at the start of the second half and stepped on the ground.

 

He scored an additional goal at the 11th minute of the second half. He assisted by using his signature left foot kick. He received a pass from his teammate in the midfield with his chest, and then passed through space behind the opponent's defense with his left foot. He accurately predicted Kylian Mbappe's speed and opened up a no-recognition chance. Simplified trapping, timing of the pass, and accurate kicking of the left foot were all perfect.

 

The score, which was poked by Lee Kang-in and finished by Mbappe, effectively divided PSG into the round of 16. With the score 2-0 on the day, the team ran away 4-0 overall in the first and second matches. The team won 2-0 at home in the first match on the 15th, and led 2-0 on the road to seal a wedge. The team lost a point at the end of the game, but it did not interfere with the trend at all.

 

Lee Kang-in brightened his value as a "special helper." With the team leading, he defended the ball in the midfield and drilled a sharp pass into the empty space, contributing greatly to the victory. It is encouraging to see Mbappe, who is good at counterattacking, once again. His unique sophisticated and creative pass paved the way for Mbappe's attack. Mbappe showed his gratitude by finding Lee Kang-in after scoring a point.

 

This point of attack is also meaningful to Lee Kang-in. Lee had a hard time as he was involved in the "table tennis gate" at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. Even after returning to his team PSG, he seemed to have lost some energy. However, he provided a luxurious assist in the UEFA Champions League, which is called "War of Stars," laying the groundwork for his team to turn around. Expectations are also high on his stellar performance not only at PSG but also at the Korean national team, which is set to play in the second qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-Central American World Cup with Thailand.

 

PSG overcame the slump in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and secured a complete victory in the round of 16. It struggled as it belonged to Group F, which was evaluated as the "Group of Death." It suffered a crushing defeat of 1-4 in an away match against Newcastle United. It barely managed to rank second in the group with two wins, two draws, two losses and eight points. It yielded the lead to Borussia Dortmund, which had 11 points. It faced the burden of meeting the group's No. 1 team in the round of 16, and faced Real Sociedad.

 

They defeated Real Sociedad 2-0 and 2-1 in a row, and conquered the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. As they revived their face as the favorite, they could see a higher place. PSG, which is leading the French league, will face Reims on Thursday. It will play the 25th round of the 2023-2024 French League 1 at home. Lee Kang-in will challenge to add more offensive points.  스포츠토토

 

 

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford (26) seems to have lost his footing in the locker room.

 

"Rashford's relationship with his colleagues became strained as he lost his status in the locker room."

 

"Some players were disappointed that Rashford was out of training the next morning after playing at the club until the early hours," he added.

 

"These incidents have led to Rashford losing confidence in some of his colleagues," he said.

 

Rashford recently got into trouble. Recently, he skipped training under the pretext of being sick. However, it turned out that he had been to a club.

 

British media "The Athletic" reported that "Rashford missed the club's training after visiting a club in Belfast, Northern Ireland." He missed the fourth round match against Newporty County in the last FA Cup due to his poor physical condition.

 

Rashford, who has played for Manchester United since the United Youth Team in 2005, is a key figure in the club. However, his performance has been declining throughout this season. He had 30 goals and 11 assists in a total of 56 games last season. He has only had six goals and six assists in a total of 33 games.

 

In a situation where he couldn't avoid a slump, he even missed training by lying. Trust in Manchester United's ace, Rashford, will inevitably decrease.

 

As a result, fans seem to be turning their back on Rashford. The Manchester Evening News, a British newspaper, said, "We cannot guarantee the future of Rashford in Manchester United. 96 percent of Manchester United fans agreed that Rashford should be released."  스포츠토토

 

Rumors of Rashford's transfer are also continuing. "Rashford could leave Manchester United amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain," football media outlet Football 365 said. "Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave the team after the end of the season. He is raising interest in Rashford as a substitute. Paris Saint-Germain tried to sign Rashford back in the summer of 2022."

 

Women's Basketball semifinal playoff begins on the 9th

Short-term, experienced veteran role big

 

The women's professional basketball "Spring Basketball" playoffs will begin on the 9th.

 

Cheongju KB Kookmin Bank, No. 1 in the regular league, and Bucheon Hana One-Q, No. 4, will play at Cheongchu Gymnasium from the 9th, while Asan Woori Bank, No. 2, and Yongin Samsung Life Insurance, No. 3, will play at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium from the 10th.

 

Unlike the regular league, short-term games have particularly many variables. As you focus on a specific opponent, you can prepare customized games. Here, anomalous player appointment and tactics are poured out. Injury variables are also much larger than long-term races.

 

That's how important it is to maintain composure. The presence and role of the veteran is an important background.

 

Four teams that are participating in the playoffs have veteran players with four colors. They are Yeom Yoon-ah (37) of KB Kookmin Bank, Kim Dan-bi (34) of Woori Bank, Bae Hye-yoon (35) of Samsung Life Insurance, and Kim Jong-un (37) of Hana One Q.

 

Yeom Yoon-ah, who contributed to KB Kookmin Bank's No. 1 ranking in the regular league, is the oldest in the team as she ranked fifth in the second round (11th overall) of the 2006 rookie draft.

 

He played an average of 23 minutes and 43 seconds in 25 games of the regular season, posting 6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals. Core players Park Ji-soo, Kang Yi-seul, and Heo Ye-eun play their part silently by the sides of the three commanders.

 

He showed stable leadership on the court. He contributes a lot in bad work and defense. In particular, coach Kim Wan-soo has high expectations as he has a good opinion in blocking the opponent's ace.

 

Kim Dan-bi is one of the best players in the league.

 

He played an average of 35 minutes and 19 seconds in 29 games this season, scoring 18.4 points, nine rebounds, and five assists with 1.7 steals and 1.2 blocks.

 

He is versatile, regardless of offense and defense. He has a lot of experience in big games such as short-term matches with the national team.

 

Last season, he showed off his robustness by sweeping the MVP award in the regular league and championship game in Woori Bank's uniform.

 

Bae Hye-yoon, whose strength is consistency, averaged 11.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 27 regular league games.

 

Although he is quite young, he held out against his best juniors such as Park Ji-soo (KB Kookmin Bank) and Jinan (BNK) in the center position. He is an old player who is good at communicating by emphasizing "horizontal leadership" in Samsung Life Insurance, which has many young players.

 

Samsung Life Insurance made it to the playoffs as the fourth-ranked team in the 2020-2021 season but became the champion. "I will play hard," Bae said, looking forward to "Again 2021."

 

Kim Jong Un left Woori Bank for the upcoming season and wore the uniform of his former team Hana One Q. He led the team to advance to the playoffs for the first time in its foundation, living up to expectations.

 

He averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He played the role of troubleshooter among key resources such as Jihyun Shin and Yang In-young.  스포츠중계

 

He suffered a broken front tooth in the opening game against Samsung Life Insurance in November last year, but was replaced by a temporary tooth in three days and stood on the court. He has a strong sense of responsibility and desire to win.

 

KBSN commentator Son Dae-beom said of the series between KB Kookmin Bank and Hana One Q, "Since Hana One Q is the first playoff, veteran Kim Jong-un's leadership is important, but I think it will be important to have a rating across the players."

 

Regarding the series between Woori Bank and Samsung Life Insurance, he said, "The series has some unexpected possibilities. The direction of the series could be determined by who takes the lead."

 

The nationwide large bowling league "Inca Finance Super Bowling'" will be held for the fifth consecutive year.

 

The 5th Inca Finance Super Bowling, a bowling league between local government clubs across the country, will be held in Gangneung City for four days from the 8th. "Inca Finance Super Bowling" is the largest bowling competition in Korea that started in 2020, contributing greatly to revitalizing daily sports bowling once again.

 

A total of 15 local government clubs from all over the country will participate in the championship and the top teams will play the championship game through the team finals league, and from this year, individual competitions have been newly established, signaling a fiercer competition of pride. In particular, the tournament plans to raise the level of broadcasting of the bowling competition by providing differentiated bowling records in real time, such as strike probability, spare probability, and first-pitch average per frame, through the dedicated coder system developed for the first time in the bowling competition.

 

Inca Financial Services, which has been participating as the main sponsor for five years, was listed on the KOSDAQ for the first time in the industry in 2022 and has grown into a super-large GA with 14,766 exclusive designers. In addition, a number of companies, including Jinseung, a bowling company, Racks Guy, Powerful X, and NeedMade, will participate as sponsors.

John Terry picked the two most difficult players to deal with.

 

Sports Bible, a sports media outlet, reported on the 18th, "Former Chelsea captain John Terry picked the two toughest opponents in the Champions League draw in Nyon, Switzerland."

 

John Terry, who has played 717 games for Chelsea in 19 years and has no trophies to miss out on winning the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and League, helped progress to Monday's Champions League round of 16 draw.

 

Terry supported Real Madrid to win this season, saying it was the only team that could quell Manchester City's sensation, and recalled his Champions League showdown with Barcelona.

 

Asked what was actually the most memorable moment of his Champions League career, Terry said: "For me personally, the game against Barcelona in the 2004/05 season was the most memorable."

 

Terry said, "In my generation, I think Barcelona was the best team that they faced and they had the best players in the world. So it was a good memory to play against those players and test yourself, which was sometimes very difficult. That's when we won and we made good memories."

 

John Terry admitted that being sent off against Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semi-final was the most regrettable thing of his Chelsea career. And when asked about his toughest opponents in a draw in Switzerland, Terry picked two former Warsaw players.

 

Terry said with a smile, "The two players on the team were Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho. Messi was unfortunately on my side on the field. When I look back on the last moments of my life, I'm very proud. I didn't reach the top often, but I was very happy when I won. It was a privilege to be able to play with those people."

 

Terry previously ranked former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry as the toughest opponent in the Premier League. He told Sky Sports in 2017, "He was by far the best and had everything. His movements were like quiet assassins. There was no shortage of heads, right feet, left feet, chip shots, mid-range shots." 스포츠토토

 

Terry continued, "He was incredible. Literally, the night before the game, he would have been the only player in my career who thought, 'It's going to be a tough day tomorrow. And no one else has had that effect on me other than him."

 

 

The incident began just before the end of the 14th round of the EPL between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, which was held on the 4th, when the score was 3-3. Holland, who was driving the ball, lost his balance due to Emerson Royal's foul tackle, but he did not fall and connected to Jack Grealish. Referee Hooper also took a sign to proceed with the game.

 

Referee Hooper blew the whistle and stopped the match as Grealish faced a good one-on-one goal with the goalkeeper. He gave Royal a free kick late on. Manchester City's team was enraged, surrounded by referee Hooper, and protested, and Holland was shown a yellow car d. After the match, Holland left the stadium in excitement and expressed his anger by using expletives on social media. 스포츠토토

 

English football experts also pointed out that it was a wrong decision, and Tottenham manager Postecoglou said he understood the feelings of Manchester City players, effectively admitting the referee's misjudgment.

 

However, the English Football Association (FA) took disciplinary action against Manchester City on the 5th, claiming that it had abandoned its obligation to control players not to engage in inappropriate behavior. The FA pointed out the violation of the association's regulations, saying, "The club has an obligation to prevent players from acting aggressively, violently, threatening, outwardly, stimulatingly or improperly."

 

In the end, Manchester City was fined about 200 million won. Sports media The Athletic reported on the 19th that "Man City players acted fiercely against the Hooper referee and were fined 120,000 pounds (about 198 million won)." The FA did not take any action against Holland's profanity on social media. Manchester City was charged with similar behavior in a match with Arsenal in February and paid 75,000 pounds as a fine.

 

Arsenal currently top of the EPL

a well-organized attack, even score distribution

 

As of Wednesday, Arsenal is leading the English Premier League (EPL). With 11 wins, three draws, one loss, and 36 points, they occupied the top spot in the league table. The team opened the 15th round on Wednesday. They secured three points after winning 4-3 in an away game against Luton Town. Although the team has yet to play the 15th round, it is five points ahead of Liverpool (31 points).

 

Let's take a look at the mid-scoring rankings. It is hard to find Arsenal players. If we look down to tying for 15th, we will have Arsenal players. Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah, who scored five goals, tied for 15th. It is interesting to see that the players with the most goals scored by the No. 1 team are not even in the top 10 in the mid-scoring rankings. Currently, the top scorer is Erling Holland of Manchester City. He scored 14 goals while preparing for the 15th round match.

 

This is why Arsenal is strong. The distribution of goals is even. They scored 33 goals until the 15th round, and ideally scored a striker-midfielder-defender, except for the opponent's own goal 1. For starters, Saka and Nketiah each scored five goals for the striker. Leandro Torsar scored three goals and Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli each scored two goals. The total score of strikers is 17. It is just over half of the total score.

 

Arsenal midfielders had 11 goals until the 15th round. Captain Martin ᄋᅀᅳᅵdegaard had four goals, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice had three, and Fabio Vieira had one. On top of that, defenders added four more points. William Saliba, Daumias Takeiro, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Ben White each scored one goal. Midfielder and defender scored 15 goals, which significantly eased the burden on strikers.

 

Arsenal has recently won four consecutive league games. In each game, a different problem solver appeared, signaling victory. In the home game against Burnley in the 12th round, defenders Saliba and Zinchenko scored in the second half from a 1-1 situation to win 3-1. In the 13th round away game against Brentport, Havertz scored the winning goal in the 44th minute of the second half, winning 1-0. In the 14th round home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Saka and Odegaard scored consecutive goals in the 6th and 13th minutes of the first half to win 2-1. In the away game against Luton Town in the 15th round, with the score down 2-3, Havertz scored in the 15th minute of the second half and Rice scored in the 52nd minute of the second half, singing a victory hymn. 스포츠토토

 

A successful home can never just go well. Arsenal, the best in the EPL, does not have a special striker like Holland and Son Heung-min. However, the team is strong overall. You can notice it by looking at the score distribution. It is also encouraging that Arsenal, which is on the rise at the highest level, will continue to increase their momentum.

 

Interesting observations have been raised that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is the cause of frequent exits by his teammates.

 

"Liverpool has received four red cards in the past six games," sports media "The Athletic" said on the 5th. "Alisson, the beginning of the build-up, may have provided the cause."

 

According to The Athletic, "Alisson attempted 25 long passes, the most this season, in an away match against Tottenham Hotspur in the seventh round of the 2023/24 English Premier League on the 1st." However, the pass success rate was not good. "Alisson succeeded in passing only 69% (in the game)," the media said. "His pass success rate is significantly lower than the season average of 79%.

 

"Tottenham is a team that uses strong forward pressure," the media said. "I often tried to send the ball far away under the pressure of Son Heung-min and other strikers."

 

However, Tottenham players' effective aerial ball competition and good defensive lines, with Tottenham's Christian Romero and Yves Bissouma intercepted, pointed out, "It's not a choice to give the ball to Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, and Ibrahima Konate, but because they develop long passes, they have no choice but to lose their share."

 

The player who won the most competitions in the game was Tottenham center back Romero. In other words, Alisson's long pass was helpless in Tottenham's aerial battle.

 

This is not the first time that Alisson Long Pass has caused a counterattack crisis because it is not accurate.

 

In the third round of the league against Newcastle United in August, Virgil van Dijk, the core of Liverpool's defense, was sent off in the 28th minute of the first half. "The Athletic," which also analyzed the game, said, "Only one of the 12 times Alisson attempted a long pass to Newcastle's camp was successful," claiming that Alisson's pass miss leads to a counterattack opportunity, making it easier for other players to be sent off.

 

The direction of the pass was also pointed out as a problem. "In the second round of the league against Bournemouth (last August), Alisson's long passes were all biased to the left," the media said. "The percentage of long passes that succeeded in the game was 47.2% on the left, 20% on the center, and 22.7% on the right." It is understood that Alisson tries to pass a lot to the left to help left defender Andrew Robertson and winger Diogo Jota attack.

 

However, 'The Athletic' argued, 'If you use a central pass using Trent Alexander-Arnald or other players, you can get better results.'

 

What will happen if Alisson tries a short pass.

 

Citing Liverpool's defense, including Alexander-Arnald, "The Athletic" claimed, "If the defense takes over a short pass from Alisson and tries a creative pass deep in the camp, good results can be produced." The game submitted by "The Athletic" on the basis was the third round match of the league against Aston Villa in September. Alisson started the build-up with a short and concise pass in the game, resulting in a pass success rate of 97%. Liverpool dominated all indicators and won the game 3-0.

 

"Liverpool enjoys football that builds up step by step from the bottom," the media said. "Alisson should try a long kick when the opponent's defensive line is high and deliver the ball to the offense at once." In addition, he urged Alisson to change, saying, "The fewer the team members are sent off, the more cautious the long kick should be."

 

Liverpool were among the teams with very few exits, receiving only four red cards in 178 games until the last 2022/23 season. However, it is the logic of "The Athletic" that the reason why four cards have been collected in six games already this season is due to Alisson's way of playing. 스포츠토토

 

Alisson showed a long pass success rate of 46 percent last season, but only 37 percent this season. Alisson's task of focusing on short passes is an important issue that is directly related to Liverpool's performance.
