Month: February 2024

In preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Korean Olympic Committee is pushing ahead with the training of the marines of the national team under the name of “strengthening mental strength.” Netizens have criticized that the training is anachronistic.

According to a daily sports report titled “Marine Corps Camp,” which the chairman of the sports committee declared on the 6th, the Korea Sports Council issued an official letter last month entitled “Submission of the number of participants in the national team’s mental strength camp.”

The Korean Olympic Committee said, “We are in training camp to strengthen our national team’s mental strength and ‘ONE TEAM KOREA’ in preparation for international competitions such as the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.” The training period will be from the 18th to the 20th.

Lee Ki-heung, chairman of the Korea Sports Council, said at a press conference on the settlement of accounts at the Hangzhou Asian Games in October, “These days, athletes try not to exercise their physical strength,” adding, “I will prepare thoroughly because the 2024 Paris Olympics is just around the corner. Next year, the national team players plan to have Marine Corps training before entering the athletes’ village, and I will do it together.” 메이저 토토사이트

“His plan, which he thought was a snowflake, became a reality,” Daily Sports criticized, “With the temperature falling below zero by Seoul standards, it is difficult to expect efficiency if it is an outdoor training, even a Marine Corps camp.”

Daily Sports said this is not the first time that the Korean Olympic Committee has taken measures to strengthen its mental strength, citing blocking Wi-Fi at the accommodation after midnight forcing measures to train in the morning Gubo and mountains. Daily Sports pointed out, “This was criticized for being a kkondae-like idea,” adding, “The Marine Corps training is also unlikely to receive much response. It is not because it is physically difficult, but because the atmosphere of the training will be conducted vertically and coercively is uncomfortable.”

Media outlets that reported the news also expressed concern. The Hankook Ilbo reported on the same day that the Marine Corps camp itself is an outdated occurrence. “The reason why the purpose of strengthening the mental strength of athletes, not their capacity or skills, is against the times,” he said. “In particular, some point out that it is questionable how effective it will be to strengthen the mental strength through military drills.”

“Isn’t it an old-fashioned idea?” a national team member told JTBC. “If you hurt yourself with a log, you will lose your performance. If you fail to strengthen your mental strength, you may not be able to compete in the Olympics next year.” “It’s not like military spirit, but experts (psychological coaches) are in the field to help athletes perform well in the field. What era are you talking about?” said Chung Yong-cheol, chairman of the Sports Psychology Association.

Netizens criticized the news, saying, “What year is this? What kind of mental education are you talking about?” “Why does the national team go to Marine Corps training?”

The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said it has recently received a complaint filed by Kim Ha-sung’s lawyer against a junior baseball player A and is investigating it. Kim Ha-sung is said to have claimed through his lawyer that “A continuously demanded money and goods” in the complaint. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

Kim Ha-sung claims that two years ago, he had physical contact with A at a restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, and has since been asked for money and valuables several times in the name of the settlement for assault. A police official said, “We have conducted an investigation into the complainant today,” adding, “We are checking the facts.”

On the same day, MHN Sports quoted Summit Management, Kim Ha-sung’s agent, as saying, “We reached an agreement right before Kim Ha-sung went to the U.S. However, after that, A kept calling,” adding, “It wasn’t Kim Ha-sung’s unilateral assault at the time, but rather a scuffle. However, just before entering the U.S., I delivered the settlement money because I didn’t want to make much of a deal. It’s definitely not a one-sided assault.”

“A continued to threaten to be compensated in the name of ‘defamation,'” he said. “The threat continued right after winning the Gold Glove. A also mentioned content that had nothing to do with the facts. In response, the agency decided to file a complaint.”

“There are many contents that can prove that Kim Ha-sung did not unilaterally assault, starting with the evidence,” he said, stressing, “Kim Ha-sung is an obvious victim.”

John Hayman of the New York Post in the U.S. said on the 4th (Korea time), “Wade Miley is approaching a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers,” adding, “The contract period is one year.”

Miley, who stepped into the professional stage after being nominated by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2008 Major League Rookie Draft, first took the big league stage in 2011. In his first season since debut, he only pitched in eight games (seven starts), but left the possibility with four wins, two losses and a 4.50 ERA, and began to rotate the full-time starting rotation the following year.

Miley played in 32 games (29 starts) in 2012 and played 194 ⅔ in a career-high season with 16 wins, 11 losses and a 3.33 ERA, and became an ace the following year by eating 202 ⅔ and achieving 10 wins. Miley, who had 36 wins in four seasons in Arizona, began his career as a “journey man” when he moved to the Boston Red Sox before the 2015 season.

Miley has been on numerous teams, starting with Boston, including the Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago Cubs, but she has done her part every time. Miley won 11 games in her first season in Boston and nine games in Seattle and Baltimore the following year. It was a less-than-expected performance in the 2017-2018 season, but Miley succeeded in “rebounding” with 14 wins in Houston in 2019. 파워볼실시간

Miley played for Cincinnati with 12 wins, 7 losses and an ERA of 3.37 in the 2021 season, and only posted 2 wins, 2 losses and an ERA of 3.16 in nine games (eight starts) with the Cubs last year, but this year, he pitched in 23 games with the Milwaukee Brewers, marking 120 ⅓ innings, displaying an excellent performance of 9 wins, 4 losses and an ERA of 3.14. Initially, Miley had an option worth 10 million dollars for the 2024 season, but gave up and entered the FA market. However, he seems to be joining hands with Milwaukee again.

In recent years, veteran players are leaving the Major League Baseball FA market in search of destinations faster than young and popular sales. Kenta Maeda, who is one year younger than the Korean Monster Ryu Hyun-jin, recently left the Minnesota Twins and signed a two-year, $24 million (W31.3 billion) contract with the Detroit Tigers. In addition, Kyle Gibson, Ryu’s “partner” with the St. Louis Cardinals, also signed a one-year, $12 million (W15.6 billion) contract.

Bettaroos’ contracts don’t stop there. Miley, who is one year older than Ryu Hyun-jin, also re-signed with Milwaukee. In Miley’s case, the size of the contract has not been disclosed. However, since he gave up his mutual option of $10 million in 2024 and headed to the FA market, he seems to have signed a contract of at least $10 million. Considering these points, Ryu Hyun-jin’s contract is likely to be heard soon.

Turkiye media Millyette reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that Ndombele will end his lease and return to Tottenham, reporting on the situation of Galatasaray in the upcoming January transfer market.

The media reported, “Galatasaray is about to send Ndombele back to Tottenham in January. He is about to terminate his lease with a complete transfer clause.” “Tactical staff have negative opinions on Ndombele, and the club has set out to find his replacement,” he said.

“Ndombele lost his credibility in the game against Manchester United. It fell short of the level of the UEFA Champions League. The club will not use a complete transfer clause through a buyout of 15 million euros,” the media said. 안전놀이터

French midfielder Ndombele is considered Tottenham’s worst recruit. He joined the club in 2019 with a transfer fee of 65 million pounds (about 109.1 billion won) from France’s prestigious Olympique Lyon.

At that time, Ndombele was a key playmaker for Lyon. His elegant de-pressurization, daredevil forward dribbling and accurate passing skills were outstanding. He has emerged as a player attracting attention from various teams by displaying unwavering skills against strong European teams such as Manchester City and Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.

Tottenham, however, did not show the skills they showed in Lyon. They failed to show long-term de-pressure, forward dribbling, and passes in the Premier League style, which was fast and physically rough, and crucially, their lack of participation in defense emerged as their biggest weakness.

In the end, he was classified as an out-of-power player and spent the last two seasons on loan with Lyon and Naples, Italy. Last season, he returned with the league title at Napoli, but was excluded from the team’s roster again ahead of this season, and as not many teams wanted to recruit him, he ended up leaving the team on loan once again.

However, Ndombele’s life on loan at a Turkiye was also a mess. “Ndombele is struggling due to his overweight status. He cannot even resolve this issue. After arriving in Istanbul last summer, he gained 6 kilograms and the team’s medical staff immediately took immediate action,” the Turkiyen media reported. “His goal was to lose 20 percent of his body fat and 16 percent.”

“Coach Oekan Buruk Galatasaray has also lost patience with Ndombele and is not happy with his attitude and lack of professionalism. There is a complete transfer option, but Galatasaray will terminate his lease. I have already identified other replacements,” he said, predicting that Ndombele will return to Tottenham in January.

It is completely different from Davinson Sanchez, who was at Tottenham together and was completely transferred to Galatasaray and shows professionalism as the league’s best player.

After leaving on loan in September, he lost the trust of the club in just three months. Moreover, despite the injury in late October, he was criticized even more for not taking good care of himself.

However, even if Ndombele returns, his position at Tottenham is unclear. Vice-captain James Maddison is looking for a return to the new year, and Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hoivier, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are alive in other positions.

KIA left-hander Kwak Do-gyu (19) is continuing his actual game in Australia. Like Choi Ji-min (20), Australia could be the turning point in baseball. Kwak Do-gyu (Canberra Cavallie) pitched a scoreless inning against three batters during the 2023-2024 Australian professional baseball game against the Perth Heat on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time). The Australian League’s interim record is 4.26 ERA with one hold in four games.

Kwak Do-gyu is a left-handed submarine who graduated from Gonggo High School and joined the team ranked 42nd in the fifth round. The left side itself is rare, and his arm height is a little higher than that of Kim Dae-yu, a submarine with left hand. It is a three-quarter, but it also feels that the arm height is lower than that of the traditional three-quarter.

Even Kwak Do-gyu plays fastballs in the late 140km range. Based on the statistics website Statistics, his average speed was 144km. In addition, he uses two cores, curves, and sliders. This season’s performance was 8.49 ERA with no wins, losses, saves or holds in 14 games.

There is a lot of potential, but I feel like I couldn’t burst it. In five exhibition games, he failed to lead the rise of zero ERA in one hold. Looking at the pace of the exhibition game, he could have entered the roster from the opening game, but there was no room as the KIA bullpen depth was strengthened this year. 온라인카지노사이트

In the Futures League, he had good performance with six wins, one loss, five holds, and an ERA of 2.37 in 37 games. However, his pitching performance was not consistent in the main league. Lee Soon-cheol, a commentator on SBS Sports who was broadcasting Kia’s game in this season, said Kwak Do-gyu’s pitching balance is unstable.

Still, KIA sent Kwak Do-gyu to Canberra because it believes there are endless possibilities in the future. I thought the actual game was more important than the final training. Since the level of the Australian League does not fall that much, it is a time for Kwak Do-gyu to study and learn.

The pitching performance is not consistent here, either. He allowed two hits, one walk and one run in the first ⅔ against the Sydney Blue Sox on Nov. 18. Then he pitched well in the second inning, allowing one hit and no run in the game against the Melbourne Aces on Nov. 25. However, he was shaken up by allowing three hits, one walk and two runs in the first ⅔ against Perth on Nov. 1. Then he pitched well again in the game on Saturday.

KIA’s bullpen is a left-handed kingdom, but it also needs the second Choi Ji-min. The bullpen is all-around anyway. Kwak Do-gyu should be able to compete with Choi Ji-min, Lee Joon-young, Kim Dae-yu, and Kim Ki-hoon. It is necessary to take advantage of the strong and rare form. However, Kwak Do-gyu has a routine of shaking both shoulders three times after stepping on the pitch board. Peach clock will start next year, and we have to see if we will reduce this routine.

Canberra will hold four consecutive games including a doubleheader against Brisbane Benditz from July 7. Considering that he has some leeway in his schedule, Kwak is expected to be able to take the mound in two to three games.
