Heo Hoon tries to win his first championship with his strong teammates

Image
  KT won 75-65 in Game 5 of the 2023-2024 semifinal playoff (PO) against LG held at Changwon Gymnasium on Sunday. KT has won three games and two losses overall, advancing to the championship game for the first time in 17 years since the 2006-2007 season. It is aiming at its first championship since its foundation. In addition, Hur also advanced to the championship for the first time as an individual. Since joining KT in 2017 with the first overall pick in the rookie draft, Hur has never been linked to a PO. During the 2017-2018 season when he made his debut, KT ranked at the bottom. In the 2018-2019 season, he won his first PO as sixth, but lost to LG for the first time with two wins and three losses. In the 2019-2020 season, he ended prematurely due to the novel coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19), and ended his disappointment. Nevertheless, he soothed by receiving his first MVP award in a regular league. In the 2020-2021 season, the Korean pro baseball team ranked sixth once...

Image
  Real Madrid won a thrilling victory over Barcelona in "El Clasico." Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-2 at home in the 32nd round of the Spanish Primera Liga in Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain on the 22nd. Real Madrid, which had three points with the victory, increased its chances of winning the league by widening the gap with second-place Barcelona to 11 points. Jude Bellingham is the main player in Real Madrid's victory. In the second half of extra time, a ground ball cross from the right side flowed. Bellingham, who was rushing from the left side of the box, scored with a powerful left-footed shot. Bellingham celebrated the goal with Vazquez and a dance ceremony near the corner kick point. The goal was the final goal, and the game ended with Real Madrid's victory. Bellingham scored multiple goals in his first league showdown on October 28 last year, leading the team to a 2-1 victory. On the day, he also garnered the finishing goal and was greeted with enthusiastic ch...

SON Champions, can't you play again a 20% chance of falling

  The red flag has turned on Tottenham's bid to return to the UEFA Champions League. While Aston Villa, which ranks fourth, continues to rise sharply, Tottenham faces a bumpy road ahead. Tottenham's chances of advancing to the Champions League have also dropped to 20%. Opta, a soccer statistics firm, lowered Tottenham's chance of ranking fourth in this season's English Premier League EPL to 20 percent on Tuesday. Chances of ranking fifth are the highest at 74.9 percent. In the EPL, the top four teams will advance to the UEFA Champions League, and the fifth place will be the UEFA Europa League, one level below the Champions League. Tottenham not only ranks fifth, but also has a chance of falling into sixth place 4.7 percent and seventh place 0.4 percent. On the contrary, Aston Villa have a 79.8 percent chance of staying in fourth place. It is even more bitter for Tottenham, which once rose to fourth place and wants a dramatic return to the Champions League. In particular...

Image

Image
   Son Heung-min 32, Tottenham literally has to do it. Tottenham will play the "North London Derby" at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 28th against Arsenal in the 34th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League. In Arsenal's away match, Son Heung-min scored multiple goals, leading to a 2-2 draw. Tottenham is in fifth place, six points behind Aston Villa 66 points, which is in fourth place, with two games less than that. As Arsenal and Manchester City both lost, the English Premier League's European competition coefficient plunged to third place, trailing the German Bundesliga, forcing them to seek fourth place unconditionally. The difference between the two teams became six points as Aston Villa won 3-1 over Bournemouth in the previous round. On top of that, Aston Villa scored multiple goals for two consecutive games, reversing their goal difference. As Tottenham lost 0-4 at Newcastle, Aston Villa have a +5 advantage in the difference between the two tea...

To Manchester United after ruining Munich?

Image
  The best Eleven, which was expected when Thomas Tuchel took charge of Manchester United, was unveiled. Coach Tuchel will put down the baton of Bayern Munich at the end of this season. It was already decided in February. The biggest reason was poor performance. At that time, Tuchel was behind Leverkusen as Munich's coach, who won the Bundesliga for 11 consecutive seasons. As the league continued to lose and the gap with Leverkusen, which was unbeaten, widened, it was decided to do it only until this season. It was not just his poor performance. Tuchel also reportedly ruined the mood in the locker room. After his 0-3 defeat at Leverkusen, Tuchel told his players in the locker room, "You guys are not as good as I thought. I have to adapt to your level." Due to his poor performance and discord with his players, the Munich board team had no choice but to let Tuchel go. Munich has been bleeding a lot until this season. It aimed to win the Bundesliga title for 12 consecutive s...

There might not be a case of Kim Min-jae

Image
  The recruitment of Kim Min-jae from Bayern Munich, which stirred up a buzz in the European transfer market last summer, was reportedly handled by a scout team led by sports director Christophe Freund, not Thomas Tuchel. The same was true for Harry Kane. In modern soccer, scouting teams, including sports directors, have the authority to recruit players along with coaches. Different teams have different roles to recruit players, but big clubs such as Bayern Munich have greater authority to recruit players than scouting teams do. Most of them meet the demands of the field, but sometimes they do not. In some cases, the front desk demands the appointment of a specific player it recruited. This is a representative example of a conflict between the coach and the front desk. If the Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick, who is currently considered the most likely candidate to lead Bayern Munich next season, takes the helm of Bayern Munich, the above will not happen. On the 24th , Austrian Salzbur...
