Phil Foden 23, Manchester City won the 2023/24 Football Journalists' Association FWA Player of the Year award.

 

Manchester City hereinafter referred to as Manchester City announced on its official website on the 3rd that "Foden has been selected as the FWA Player of the Year," adding, "He won more than 42% of the votes in more than 800 FWA membership votes, overwhelmingly beating Declan Rice Arnall and fellow Rodri."

 

The FWA Player of the Year award is the second most prestigious trophy after the PFA Player of the Year award. Foden will be the seventh Manchester City player to receive the award, following Don Levy 1954/55, Bert Trautman 1955/56, Tony Book 1968/69, Raheem Sterling 2018/19, Hoobeng Diaz 2020/21, and Erling Holan 2022/23.

 

As the women's category was also won by Bernie Shaw of the Women's Team, Manchester City faced a "double slope."

 

Some questioned Foden's award this season. In particular, Foden's teammate Rodri finished third in the vote, causing considerable controversy.

 

Local fans expressed various reactions on social media, such as "Foden deserved it," "Still, Rodri deserved it," and "Maybe Manchester City players were nominated and the votes were divided."

 

Foden, who is one of the few youth teams in Manchester City's first division and symbolizes the "fundament of the club," entered his eighth year of debut this year. Manchester City alone has scored 84 goals and 51 assists in 265 matches, and has led the team to win many major competitions including one UEFA Champions League and five Premier League matches, making his team the strongest in Europe.

 

Manchester City, where Foden has taken the lead in attack amid Holan's recent slump, is fiercely competing with Arsenal to win the Premier League. As of now, it has 24 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses and 79 points from 34 matches, and is only one point away from Arsenal, who played one more match, which would lead to an unprecedented four-game losing streak in the Premier League if it wins all the remaining matches.    안전 토토사이트

 

 Whether to sign contract with left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin, 36, is still a matter of interest in the U.S. Major League Baseball. As Major League teams are aggressively offering offers to veteran starting pitchers, experts predict that Ryu will be able to sign a one-year contract without difficulty.

 

The Athletic, a U.S. sports media, checked contract status of top 40 players in the FA as the Winter Meetings ended on Tuesday . The top 40 players in the FA were selected based on data analysis and opinions of The Athletic writers Keith Law, Aaron Gleeman, Inno-Sarris, and Jim Bowden. Ryu ranked 36th. Britain placed Ryu at 36th, Sarris at 27th, Bowden at 35th, while Law and Gleeman ranked Ryu off the list. Anyway, based on a combination of five players, Ryu was listed in the top 40.

 

The Athletic anticipated that Ryu will still be able to win a one-year, 11 million-dollar contract. They selected three teams that will match Ryu well: the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Mets. These teams need to strengthen their starting pitchers.

 

Just as two out of five viewed Ryu Hyun-jin out of the rankings, the evaluation of Ryu Hyun-jin is not only favorable. The age of turning 37 next year and the history of Tommy John surgery last year are certainly obstacles.

 

However, Scott Boras, Ryu's agent, is confident that he will play in the Major League. Ahead of the winter meeting, Boras expressed his confidence that "big league teams are still showing considerable interest. Ryu will pitch in the Major League next year, not in Korea."

 

The Athletic said, "Ryu Hyun-jin boasts a long injury history, having thrown more than 100 innings only three times in the last eight seasons, but he remained surprisingly effective until his mid-30s. During his four-year, $80 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays (just before the 2020 season), he started 60 games with a 3.97 ERA. At the age of 37, he will almost certainly be pushed back to being an FA on a one-year contract and will be tasked with supporting a solid player in the starting rotation."

 

We put more weight on the uncertain situation and negative opinions, which are not very hopeful and not very hopeless. The Athletic said, "Ryu had an average fastball speed of 88.6 miles last season, one of the slowest Major League starters ever. However, if he throws the ball at the highest speed in good health, he can hit over 90 miles. Ryu has succeeded in almost the same way that he has done so far. While making the most of the strike zone, he fought with the right-handed batter by mixing changeups and occasional curves. Still, it is questionable whether Ryu will be able to see an upturn."

 

Ryu has declined to elaborate on the contract so far. Currently, he is staying in Korea and leaving negotiations with Major League Baseball teams to Boras. Ryu cautiously expected that the outline would be made in mid-December after the winter meeting, but that time is approaching. Veteran starters such as Kenta Maeda of the Detroit Tigers, Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals reported on the signing of one to two-year contracts

 

Boras firmly said Ryu Hyun-jin will remain in the U.S., but he also has no chance of returning to Korea. It may be difficult to sign a contract worth more than $11 million in Korea, but if you want a more stable life, you can choose to return to the KBO League with the best treatment in Korea. Outfielder Choo Shin-soo signed with SSG Landers in 2021 and received an annual salary of 2.7 billion won (or 1 billion won in donations) when he first came to the KBO League. Ryu Hyun-jin is expected to want that kind of treatment.

 

Ryu said he would definitely wear the Hanwha Eagles uniform when he returns to Korea, and the Hanwha Eagles is preparing to welcome him anytime by managing the salary cap. Since signing Ahn Chi-hong, an outside FA infielder, for 4+2 years, for 7.2 billion won (approx. In the second draft, the Hanwha Eagles chose to recruit pitchers Lee Sang-gyu, Bae Min-seo, and outfielder Kim Kang-min at low prices to reinforce its power.

 

Hanwha has yet to form a "one, two punch" for foreigners. It has included both Felix Peña and Ricardo Sanchez as pending players and has them subject to renewal of their contracts, but if a better player is available, they can replace him. For now, we are looking into the market conditions further. Except for Moon Dong-ju, the Rookie of the Year award, no Korean starting pitcher has exceeded 100 innings. This was the aftermath of Kim Min-woo, who was the first starting pitcher in Korea, leaving the team due to a shoulder injury, but the team needs to have a solid starting lineup. Hence, we are keeping an eye on Ryu's moves.

 

Ryu Hyun-jin recorded 186 games, 78 wins and 48 losses, 1,055 ⅓ innings and 3.27 ERA in 10 years in the big leagues from 2013 to this year. After returning from injury, he struggled because he was exhausted at the end of the season, but he showed his potential to shake off an elbow injury and get back on his feet by recording 3 wins, 3 losses, 52 innings and 3.46 ERA in 11 games.

 

Which league will Ryu play in next season? This raises questions about whether he will be able to join the team soon as expected.  토토사이트 추천

 

Who will receive the once-in-a-lifetime honor of Rookie of the Year award this season? With the professional volleyball V-League nearing the end of its fifth round, the outline of Rookie of the Year award is taking shape. Kim Se-bin Korea Expressway Corporation in the women's category and Lee Jae-hyun Samsung Fire in the men's category are narrowing down to leading candidates, but the presence of late runners is no less than that of latecomers.

 

Rookie of the year award in the V-League can be given to first-year professional players who have participated in more than 12 games, or one-third of their debut season. The final winner will be decided through a vote of reporters after the end of the regular season.

 

In the women's team, Kim Sebin, who was ranked No. 1 in the first round of rookie draft, won the Rookie of the Year award early on. Kim Sebin, who became the starting middle blocker from the beginning of the season due to veteran Jung Dae-young's transfer, has played 29 matches and 110 sets so far. He has played in all but one of the 30 matches that Korea Expressway Corporation has played so far. Analysts say that the details need to be refined yet, but he is doing his part by scoring 154 points and blocking 0.573 per set ranking fifth. He is the only rookie to be selected at the All-Star Game, heralding the birth of the next generation star.

 

Lee Yoon-shin GS Caltex is considered a latecomer. Lee Yoon-shin, who played in 15 games and 35 sets as Kim Ji-won's backup and made 210 sets, once had a chance to start in the fourth round under the trust of GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun. Although his role has been somewhat reduced recently as starting setter Ahn Hye-jin returned from injury, analysts say he has established himself as a new option for GS Caltex, which had deep concerns over setters this season.

 

It is not easy for the men's team to form a group of candidates. Although second-year setter Han Tae-joon is invigorating Woori Card's court with rapid growth, he cannot be considered as a rookie award candidate in his first year. Lee Yoon-soo Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance and Yoon Seo-jin KB Insurance, two of the most promising players with a high school diploma, only played in three and five games, respectively, due to injury.

 

Through a niche market, Lee Jae-hyun has emerged as a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year. Lee Jae-hyun was called to the 7th place 14th overall in the 2nd round, but he made his debut the fastest among rookies and has played 24 games and 66 sets so far. With his strength in aggressive management, he filled the vacancy of senior setters such as Noh Jae-wook and Lee Hogan, who left the team due to injuries. His bold open attack and one-point server are also helping him score goals.  안전 토토사이트

 

Kwon Tae-wook, an outside heater of KB Insurance, is mentioned as a rival. Kwon Tae-wook, who joined KB Insurance as the third choice in the second round of the rookie draft, has played 12 games and 19 sets so far to meet the conditions for the rookie award nomination. OK Financial Group setter Park Tae-sung is also chasing after him by playing 11 games and 21 sets.

 

Can we see Stephen Curry and LeBron James (39) as a team in the regular season, not the All-Star Game? We could have seen that this season.

 

"ESPN" quoted a source as saying on the night of the 14th that the Golden State Warriors inquired about recruiting LeBron to trade with the LA Lakers.

 

According to the media, Golden State was serious about recruiting LeBron. The owner of the team, Joe Lakeob, even contacted the owner of the Gini Bus Lakers.

 

However, the trade failed in the end. Not only the Lakers but also LeBron himself were interested in the trade.

 

LeBron has been showing consistent productivity even at an age of uncertainty. He played in 49 games and averaged 34.9 minutes this season, recording 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists.

 

Despite his stellar performance, the Lakers are ranked ninth in the Western Conference with 29 wins and 26 losses. At this rate, they have to play the seed game to advance to the playoffs.

 

According to ESPN, owner Raycob asked Bus whether LeBron's recent public expression of despair about the team could lead to trade discussions.

 

Bus contacted LeBron's agent Rich Paul, saying he needed to hear an answer about LeBron's current state of mind, even though he drew a line saying he had no intention of trading LeBron.

 

In response, Paul contacted Raycob and Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. the day before the deadline, and LeBron conveyed that he had no intention of going to another team.

 

Dunleavy contacted Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka to ask for a doctor once again, and Pelinka also answered, "The Lakers want to protect LeBron."

 

Then, this time, Draymond Green, a Golden State forward and another customer of Paul, contacted Paul, expressing that he wanted to change James' mind.  토토사이트 추천

 

ESPN explained that it was Green, who led Kevin Durant's trip to Golden State earlier, but it was not successful this time.

 

Another team showed interest in LeBron. Earlier, Philadelphia 76ers President Darryl Morey contacted Pelinka directly to inquire about LeBron's possible transfer, but the team answered that it was possible if Joel Embiid was given away. He was actually willing to reject the offer.

 

Discussions on the trade fell through, but Golden State could try to recruit LeBron again next offseason. LeBron has a player option for the 2024-25 season (51.4 million dollars). ESPN, however, said LeBron is only focusing on returning to the Lakers next season.

Busan KCC, who was returning as a "super team," collapsed in front of Suwon KT.

 

KCC lost 80-83 against Suwon KT in the "2023-24 Jeonggwanjang Professional Basketball" at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on the 1st.

 

KCC, which failed to block Beth and Ha Yoon-ki under the basket, succeeded in reversing the game 42-39 in the second quarter by banking on even scores and heights such as Ra Gun-ah, Lee Ho-hyun, Choi Jun-yong and Heo Woong. In the third quarter amid the lead, KCC maintained its 65-61 lead as Ra Gun-ah continued her performance.

 

It lost ground in the fourth quarter. Bath's attack under the basket, Moon Jung-hyun's outfielder, and Heo Hoon, who continued his "mask fighting spirit," showed his presence. Due to tightness, Heo Hoon's playing time 27 minutes and 10 seconds increased significantly compared to his return match. Heo Woong and Choi Joon-yong faced off with a score, but failed to block KT's momentum. Then, Bath scored consecutive goals, which gave way to the flow.

 

Ranked fifth, KCC had a fierce battle between Ra Gun-ah 23 points and 15 rebounds, Lee Ho-hyun 11 points and Alize DeShawn Johnson 9 points and nine rebounds, but faded due to the team's defeat. The team is now trailing sixth-ranked Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 13 wins and 14 losses by 1.5 games.

 

KCC, which had caused concern due to an unexpected fall in the early days of the season, recently won seven consecutive games to take the top spot, but lost both games against KT on two days apart. KCC, which lost to KT on New Year's Day following last month's 83-98, lost 71-85 in its first showdown of the season on November 30. It met KT three times this season and lost all of them. KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin admitted defeat by saying, "KT is above us."

 

KT, which has won four consecutive games by dominating KCC, has advanced to third place with Changwon LG 18 wins and nine losses. It is four and a half games ahead of the first-runner Wonju DB 23 wins and five losses.

 

Meanwhile, 3,574 people entered the game, which was highly anticipated due to the "brotherly battle" between Heo Woong and Heo Hoon, and achieved a full crowd. In the previous showdown, 3,563 people visited, and the two teams sold out in a row. 안전 토토사이트

 

Los Angeles Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto 26 held his first bullpen session in spring training.

 

Major League Baseball's official media MLB said on the 10th, "Walker Buehler and Yamamoto Yoshinobu officially held their first bullpen session. Buehler threw about 35 pitches, and Yamamoto threw about 20 to 25 pitches. Austin Barnes received the ball, and Gavin Lux watched Yamamoto's ball at the plate."

 

Yamamoto is a special ace who recorded 70 wins and 29 losses with an ERA of 1.82 922 strikeouts in 172 games 897 innings in the Japanese professional baseball league. Last year, he recorded 16 wins and 6 losses with an ERA of 1.23 169 strikeouts in 23 games 164 innings, becoming the first player in the history of Japanese professional baseball to win four consecutive pitchers multiple wins, ERA, strikeouts, and winning percentage for the third consecutive year, while also winning the Sawamura Award and the Pacific League MVP award for the third consecutive year. He is the second Sawamura Award winner in his career since Masaiichi Kaneda 1956-1958, and the third MVP winner in his career since Ichiro Suzuki 1994-1996.

 

After finishing the Japanese Series as the runner-up last year, Yamamoto quickly became the biggest fish for an FA pitcher in the Major League. Many teams that wanted to beef up their pitchers started recruiting Yamamoto, but the ultimate winner became the Dodgers. Yamamoto signed a 12-year, 325 million-dollar contract with Dodgers, breaking the record for a pitcher in the Major League history by surpassing Garrett Cole Yankees, 9 years, 324 million-dollar.

 

Yamamoto is expected to play as a starting pitcher this season as he joined the Dodgers through a historic contract. For the past few years, Buehler, who recorded 46 wins, 16 losses and an ERA of 3.02 in 115 games 638 ⅓ innings in the Major League, has stayed as the ace for the Dodgers, but he underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2022 and only played one game last year. It is uncertain whether he will be able to join the roster for the opening game again this year. Naturally, Yamamoto is expected to be the ace.

 

MLB selected the new franchise stars for each of its 30 MLB clubs on Wednesday. "I'm not talking about Mike Trout of the Angels or Bryce Harper of Philadelphia. These are recognized veterans, well-known, and familiar players for a long time. What we mean by young players is players, who could theoretically lead a team for the next five years or more," he said. "We set the criteria for this roster, including players under 25 years old, players who have long-term contracts, made their big league debut before 2024, and players who have not played much better in 2024."   토토사이트 추천

 

The Dodgers selected Yamamoto as a candidate for the future franchise star. MLB said, "A side effect of building a team's strength to win the World Series is that it neglects the team's youth. In other words, the Dodgers spent so much money on Yamamoto because he is still only 25 years old. And he can play as an ace today."

 

Lux, the starting shortstop candidate who watched Yamamoto's ball in person at bat, said, "This is a truly amazing ball." The Yomiuri Shimbun, a Japanese media outlet, said, "Yamamoto threw 21 pitches in the presence of team leaders including Andrew Friedman, president of baseball management. He pitched various pitches including fastballs, two-seams, curves, cutters, and splitters."

 

Los Angeles Olympics schedule, regular season and All-Star game overlap

32 team expansion plans, decision may be made before January 2029

 

 

 Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred expressed skepticism about the possibility of big leaguers participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

 

Commissioner Manfred was asked about the big leaguers' participation in the Los Angeles Olympics at a press conference after the owner's meeting in Orlando, Florida, on the 9th.

 

Manfred did not hide his expectations, saying it was an opportunity for MLB to receive much attention. However, he stressed that the problem is the schedule.

 

It is difficult for players to participate in the Olympics due to the nature of the MLB held every day, he said. The Olympic schedule overlaps with the All-Star Game.

 

Baseball became an official sport at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and remained in the position until the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when South Korea won the championship. 토토사이트 추천

 

However, he lost his official sports status at the 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and returned to Tokyo in 2020 before missing again at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

Baseball will return to its official sport at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, the home of baseball.

 

It is unclear whether big leaguers will play.

 

The Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee gave a presentation asking big leaguers to participate at the team's owner's meeting on the 8th, but Commissioner Manfred expressed skepticism, citing schedule issues.

 

The Los Angeles Olympics will be held from July 14 to 30, 2028, during which the MLB regular season will take place.

 

MLB has never allowed big leaguers to participate in the Olympics due to schedule problems.

 

The U.S. national team also teamed up with minor leaguers to participate in the Olympics.

 

However, the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee is known to persuade MLB by suggesting ways to reduce the baseball schedule to a minimum.

 

Meanwhile, Commissioner Manfred responded to various pending issues on the same day.

 

The number of tickets sold to the 18- to 35-year-olds has increased by 10% over the past four years, and the average age of ticket purchases has decreased from 51 to 45 since 2019, Commissioner Manfred said.

 

MLB recently introduced various systems to shorten game time as the number of young fans decreased, and it seems to have worked to some extent.

 

Commissioner Manfred also spoke about MLB's 32-team expansion plan.

 

I can make a decision (on league expansion) within my term (January 2029), but the new teams will be able to play after the 2029 season, he said. The important thing is to strengthen the position of the local media. It is difficult to answer the details because there are many uncertainties.

 

MLB is considering increasing the existing 30-club system to 32-club system.

 

 

The 2023-24 season of professional basketball, which finished the fourth round, showed an increase in both spectators and admission income compared to the previous season.

 

According to the Korea Basketball Federation (KBL) on the 2nd, the number of spectators increased by 26% and the entry income increased by 38% compared to the same period last season.

 

Through the fourth round, a total of 481,985 spectators visited the stadium, recording an average of 2,678 spectators per game. The figure represents a 26 percent increase from the same period 383,288 spectators in total, 2,129 spectators last season.

 

In addition, entry income exceeded 6 billion won, an increase of 38% compared to the same period last season.

 

KBL believes that such factors include achieving various milestone in the background.

 

During the fourth round, Ra Gun-ah Busan KCC scored 11,000 points in her career, ranking second overall in scoring and first in scoring for foreign players after Seo Jang-hoon 13,231 points.

 

Cho Dong-hyun, manager of Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan, recently achieved a total of 100 wins. Seoul SK, which has been ranked at the top in recent seasons, is contributing to the success of the KBL by garnering 3 million spectators for the first time in the KBL.

 

In addition, Lee Kwan-hee Changwon LG, who recently shook women's hearts by appearing in Netflix's love reality program Solo Hell 3, also contributed to the popularity of basketball.  토토사이트 추천

 

A KBL official said, "Not only the regular league, but also the All-Star Game held on the 14th was very heated, with 5,561 seats sold out in three minutes. Sales of All-Star Game souvenirs also increased 129% compared to last season."

 

The recruitment of Shohei Ohtani 29 has begun in earnest. Refused the Los Angeles Angels' qualifying offer.

 

U.S. media reported on the 15th that "All seven free agents FA players, including Otani, rejected the qualifying offer QO."

 

QO is a system in which the original club presents a one-year contract to the FA with the average annual salary of the top 125 high-salary players. If it is accepted as a system that started in 2012, it will become a free agent again a year later. Including Ohtani, Cody Bellinger Chicago Cubs, Blake Snell, Josh Hader San Diego Padres, Matt Chapman Toronto Blue Jays, Aaron Nola Philadelphia Phillies, and Sonny Gray Minnesota Twins were offered QOs.

 

Most players do not accept QO. I want to sign a long-term contract for a larger amount. Ryu Hyun-jin is almost the only player who has succeeded by choosing to retake the FA. Ryu Hyun-jin qualified for the FA in 2018, but accepted QO when the ransom was not expected to be high due to injuries. The following year, he performed well and signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

This year's QO amounts to $20.325 million about 26.6 billion won. Ohtani and other players refused because they thought they could receive a larger amount.

 

In fact, Ohtani's chances of accepting QO were close to zero. This is because large contracts worth more than $500 million 650 billion won are expected. The purpose of the Los Angeles Angels was also to draft picks that would arise if they refused QO.

 

Ohtani pitched in 23 games as a pitcher this year with 10 wins, 5 losses and a 3.14 ERA, and played 135 games as a batter with a batting average of 0.304, 44 home runs, 95 RBIs, 102 runs, and 1.066 OPS base plus slugging percentage. The MVP of the American League is definitive.

 

However, in September, he underwent Tommy John surgery. Next year, he can only play as a batter. So some raised the possibility of a short-term contract. ESPN said, "I believe Otani is also open to short-term contracts with a high annual average amount." This means that after rehabilitation, he can get results and seek a bigger contract.

 

But the odds are not high. This is because Ohtani is the "super power". Ohtani's agent, Nez Valero, did not appear at the MLB general manager's meeting last week. Instead, I called the club officials to the hotel and met them.

 

Aaron Judge New York Yankees is expected to have the highest contract ever, exceeding $360 million 469.4 billion won in nine years and Bryce Harper Philadelphia Phillies $330 million 430.3 billion won in 13 years. There is also an observation that it is more than $500 million.

 

The most likely destination is the LA Dodgers. Jim Borden of The Athletic said, "For Otani, victory is the most important thing. He is aiming for a chance to step on the World Series stage. I will choose a team that will seek the championship," he predicted. The Dodgers are a team that can pay a lot of money and are close to winning. Spending expenses have already been reduced with Ohtani in mind.  토토사이트 순위

 

This year's winner, the Texas Rangers, is also interested in Ohtani. Ohtani also has the charm of being a team that can aim for a championship. The New York Mets of the rich owner Steve Cohen reportedly withdrew from the recruitment of Ohtani.

 

To Epenberg, Beckenbower was a precious person.

 

German media outlet 'Avent Zeitung Munich' reported on the 15th, "Stephen Efenberg has had a close relationship with Beckenbauer for many years."

 

Legendary Bayern Munich defender Franz Beckenbauer has died at the age of 78. His family said in a statement, "It is with great sadness that we announce that his husband and father Franz Beckenbauer has passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family. Please mourn quietly and refrain from asking questions."

 

Beckenbower, a two-time European Footballer of the Year, was one of only three players to win both World Cups as a player and coach. He represented West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final against England, where he won a medal in third place, and four years later lifted the trophy as Munich's captain.

 

After retiring as a footballer, Beckenbauer took the helm of the West German national team and led them to victory over Italy in the 1990 World Cup final. At club level, Beckenbauer won five times in the Bundesliga four times in Bayern Munich and one time in Hamburg and four times in the European Cup.

 

Beckenbauer, who originally began his career as a midfielder and then turned back into a defender, spent 13 years with Bayern Munich and then played in the U.S. for three years with the New York Cosmos. After two years with Hamburg, he returned to the Cosmos and ended his professional career.

 

Beckenbower, who played for six years as a manager in West Germany, briefly served as the sporting director of Marseille, where he won the league championship in his only season with Marseille. Nicknamed the emperor, Beckenbower ended his coaching career with Bayern Munich twice from 1993 to 1996. He also played soccer for Sky Sports Germany and led the organizing committee for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

 

Efenberg had a close relationship with Beckenbower for many years. He played for FC Bayern from 1990 to 1992 and from 1998 to 2002. On Sunday morning's episode of "Sport 1 Double Pass," the host asked Efenberg, "What was Beckenbower like to you, and what did he mean to you and your life?" 토토사이트

 

In response, Eppenberg frowned and tried to talk, but his lower lip began to tremble. Eppenberg began to say, "That was an incredible person" But at that moment, Eppenberg realized that he could no longer say anything and got up and left the set to the applause of the audience.

 

The host tried to persuade him to catch him, but it was impossible. The host stated, "I understand that the feelings of so many people who know him are so tough. As I said recently, everyone who loves soccer must feel something stuck in their necks."

 

Epenberg was briefly in a different place. Epenberg then returned during the broadcast with former Munich press director Maruk Hörwick, former player Nils Petersen and former coach Preethelm Funkel.

 

The Women's Professional Basketball WKBL, which has an All-Star break for about two weeks, will resume on the 13th. In the second half of the year, there are many accumulated records that will be set, drawing attention from basketball fans.

 

Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-24 Women's Professional Basketball will start its second half of the season through a match between Busan BNK and Bucheon Hana One Q at 2 p.m. on the 13th at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan.

 

BNK, the runner-up of last season, is in an unexpected slump this season. The slump continued as core Kim Han-byul repeatedly left and returned due to injury.

 

Lee So-hee and Jin-an are in charge of scoring the team, but they fell to fifth place 4 wins and 13 losses due to the poor performance of the rest of the players.

 

As it is only 1.5 games ahead of last-place sixth-place Incheon Shinhan Bank 2 wins and 14 losses, it is in a position to worry about the fall to the bottom.

 

On the other hand, Hana OneQ, which was in the bottom of the rankings in 5th, 6th, and 6th after finishing the 2019-20 season in 3rd place, is currently fighting in the middle of the 4th place 6 wins and 10 losses.

 

Off-season veteran Kim Jong-un was brought to the FA from Asan Woori Bank and Kim Si-on was traded from BNK to reinforce the team's players. Analysts say that Kim Jong-un's joining has increased the team's cohesion.

 

Kim Jong-un, who is leading Hana One Q's strides, is also making meaningful personal records.

 

Currently ranking second 7966 points in total score, he could become the second WKBL coach to score 8,000 points after retired coach Jeong Sun-min 8140 points with 34 more points.

 

It will not be easy to set a record against BNK right away, but it is likely to happen at least within this month.

 

In addition, Kim Jong-un has only one left until the success of 700 three-point shots, and if he adds six steals, he will set a career-high 500 steals.

 

Among the directors, there is a character who will be the main character of the milestone.

 

Coach Wi Sung-woo of Woori Bank, a women's basketball master, currently has 297 wins and 81 losses in his career, leaving only three wins to the first 300 wins for the WKBL coach.

 

Woori Bank, the "defending champion," is in second place with 14 wins and 2 losses, 0.5 games behind the leader Cheongju KB 15 wins and 2 losses.

 

I met KB twice this season and lost both, but I won all the rest of the teams.

 

Woori Bank will start the second half of the year starting with the KB match on the 14th, followed by Hana One Q 17th, Incheon Shinhan Bank 21st, and Yongin Samsung Life Insurance 25th. 토토사이트 추천

 

In addition, it is also worth watching to extend the record of KB's flagship shooter Kang Yi-seul, who currently has 730 3-pointers.

 

If Kang Yi-seul succeeds only 18 more 3-pointers, he will overtake retired Han Chae-jin with 748 records and enter the fifth place in the most successful 3-pointers.

 

Kang Yi-seul, who has 2.56 three-point shots per game this season, is expected to beat Han Chae-jin from late January to early February.

 

 

 

First Japanese Player Wins… Lee So-hee Unfortunately Won Second Place by 1 Point

Kang Yi-seul failed at the threshold of four consecutive losses for the first time in history

 

 

Japanese W-League's Kasagi Haruna Mitsubishi ranked as the "queen" in the women's professional basketball all-star game.

 

Gasagi scored 22 points in the final of the three-point contest of Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-2024 Women's Professional Basketball All-Star Game held at Asan Lee Soon-shin Gymnasium in Chungcheongnam-do on the 7th, beating second-place Lee So-hee BNK, 21 by a narrow margin.

 

Gasagi, who received 1 million won in prize money, hugged and shared joy with fellow W-League players after confirming his victory.

 

In the preliminary round held before the start of the game, six representatives from each team and a total of nine players, including Kasagi, Nagata Moe Denso, and Takahashi Yuka Aranmare, who visited Korea as rising stars in the Japanese W League.

 

Within one minute, he threw a total of 25 shots, five balls in five areas, and two points were given as a bonus for the color ball thrown at the end at each point.

 

Lee So-hee BNK, the first runner in the preliminary round, scored 17 points to predict her advance to the final, and Gasagi also reached the final with 17 points as a joint No. 1 in the preliminary round with Lee So-hee, challenging Kang Yi-seul KB, the defending champion and the winner of the three-point shoot contest for the third consecutive time.

 

In the final, the singer threw the ball first.

 

The lyrics began to cut the rim with every ball thrown with a keen sense of shot.

 

Gasagi, who passed the rim until the last 25th color ball and scored 22 points, raised his arms to predict victory.

 

Lee So-hee, who played for the second time, scored 21 points, one point short, and smiled regretfully.

 

Lastly, Kang Yi-seul scored 14 points, confirming the victory of Gasagi.

 

Kang Yi-seul, who won three consecutive three-point shooting contests from the 2018-2019 All-Star Game and sought his first four consecutive wins, will postpone his fourth win until next year.

 

Kasagi became the first Japanese player to become the champion of the three-point shooting contest at the All-Star Game in women's professional basketball. 토토사이트

 

Gasagi also led Japan to a 44-35 victory by confronting a rising star of the Korean Women's Basketball Federation WKBL as a member of Japan's W League rising star in the Korea-Japan prospect game, which was held as an opening event before the All-Star game.

 

Gasagi scored eight points, including two three-point shots, in the game, receiving the Japan Rising Star Award and 500,000 won in prize money.

 

After the preliminary round of the three-point contest, Gasagi met with reporters and said, "If the first shot goes in, I think I will be able to ride the flow until the end. I think I need to make sure I put in a color ball with a bonus score," but he also exploded a three-point shot in the final to secure the championship position at once.
