Following Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson wants to move to Saudi Arabia.

“Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad have approached Ederson,” transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on Monday (June 21), adding, ”Ederson agreed to sign for Al Nasr, but the move fell through. He is still keen on a move to the Saudi Arabian professional league.”

“Manchester City want €50 million to €60 million for the transfer,” he said, adding, ”It will not be an easy deal, but Al Ittihad are working on it.”

“Manchester City have rejected a bid from Al Nasr for Ederson,” the British Independent reported on July 17.

Al Nasr had identified Ederson as a possible replacement for first-choice goalkeeper David Ospina, who is out of contract this summer.

While Manchester City have set a price tag of €50-60 million for the player, Al Nasr have reportedly offered €30 million.

If Al Nasr fail to land Ederson, they have a backup plan to bring in Atletico Paranaense goalkeeper Bento.

With Al Nasr’s departure, it looked like Ederson would stay at Manchester City, but the arrival of Al Ittihad has changed that. Now that they know he wants to move to Saudi Arabia on a contractual agreement with Al Nasr, all they need to do is match City’s asking price.

Ederson has made 322 appearances for Manchester City over the past seven seasons, helping the club win the Champions League and six Premier League titles.

There are more Manchester City players linked to Saudi Arabia. The Daily Mail reported earlier in the day 파워볼사이트 추천 that “De Bruyne has agreed personal terms to join Al Ittihad.”

According to reports, Manchester City are in talks with Al Ittihad over a deal for De Bruyne.

Al Ittihad are looking to bring in two of Manchester City’s key midfielders and first-choice goalkeepers in one deal.

Dubravka has already left the door open to a move to Saudi Arabia. He told Belgian outlet HLN on May 5: “It would be a different adventure for us to go abroad with my wife, to set up a new home, to settle down. It’s something that my wife and I have been talking about lately. We have a year left on our contract, so we have to think about what will happen.” ”My oldest child is now eight years old. He only knows England. He asks me how long I’m going to play for City, and if there comes a moment when I have to make a decision, I have to deal with it,” he said.

“If I play two years in Saudi Arabia, I can earn a lot of money. More money than I’ve earned in the last 15 years of playing soccer,” he said, imagining a move to Saudi Arabia.

Manchester City have traditionally been reluctant to give long-term contracts to players over the age of 30. If they did re-sign, it was only on a short-term, one-year deal. Either that, or they watch them leave.

Former Manchester City captain and key player Ilkay Gundogan is a case in point. Gundogan left Manchester City for Barcelona last summer. Ederson was born in 1993, while Dubravljani was born in 1991.

The Saudi professional league attracts European soccer stars for astronomical sums of money. Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to do so, and now Karim Benzema, Neymar, and other former European soccer stars are playing in Saudi Arabia. Aymer joined Al-Hilal for a whopping €160 million over two years. The kingdom’s “oil money” is so attractive to players that even Ruben Neves, a former Premier League and Portugal star in his mid-20s, chose to play in Saudi Arabia.

Korean national soccer team striker Cho Kyu-sung (Mitt Whelan) bowed his head again. While playing the role of one-top at the forefront, he targeted the opponent team’s goal several times, but failed to take advantage of even a decisive opportunity, only to remain silent. Moreover, he failed to win a single ball even in the air ball contest. In other words, he failed to fulfill his given role as one-top player for the Clinsman team.

Cho started the second Group E match against Jordan at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup held at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar at 8:30 p.m. (Korea time) on the 20th, but failed to score an offensive point and was substituted in the 24th minute of the second half. Cho has been silent for two consecutive matches following the match against Bahrain on the 15th. 메이저사이트

It was a game in which Cho Kyu-sung’s performance was desperately needed, but he failed to answer the expectations. Not only Son Heung-min (Tottenham) but also Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who scored multiple goals in the last match against Bahrain, were expected to check the opponent’s concentration. As such, Cho Kyu-sung, the front-line one-top role, desperately needed to play. If Cho Kyu-sung’s goal is scored at the front line, it could put a big burden on the opponent’s defense.

In fact, Lee Kang-in’s presence has definitely decreased compared to the last match against Bahrain. When catching the ball from the side, two or three defenders were often surrounded and under pressure. Son Heung-min struggled, including scoring penalties and serving as the starting point for the opponent’s own goal scene, but he did not have a relationship with the field goal. Rather, the opportunity to score came to Cho Kyu-sung more in the process.

Cho opened the scoring with a bold mid-range shot in the midfield area during extra time in the first half. When his team was losing 1-2, he also had a critical chance to score at the last minute of extra time in the first half. The goalkeeper managed to narrow the gap between Lee Ki-je and Suwon Samsung, and the ball flew into the goalpost. Cho Gyu-seong, who was rushing, connected the goalpost with a non-stop shot from the left foot of the goalpost. If the ball was accurate, the goal post could have been highly anticipated. Cho’s shot, however, missed the goalpost far after the bound.

In the 20th minute of the second half, there was a more decisive opportunity. Cho Kyu-sung, who received a pass from the right side, received a pass at the penalty spot. With the goalkeeper unable to properly position himself, Cho, however, even fired a shot into the air with the virtually empty goal. Regardless of the offside decision, it was a unfortunate decision as a front-line striker.

Afterwards, Cho failed to control the ball properly at a critical scoring opportunity, leaving only unfortunate scenes, but was eventually replaced in the middle of the second half when his team was trailing 1-2. Instead, Oh Hyun-gyu (Celtic), another one-top resource, was substituted. Even though Cho desperately needed a goal, the fact that the front-line striker was replaced indicates that Cho was in poor performance.

The problem is that Cho was not the only one who missed scoring opportunities. On the day, Cho lost his ball to the opponent in all four competitions. The winning rate of the competition was 0 percent. Even though the opponent team did not have an opponent who could have overwhelming dominance in the competition, including a tall center back, Cho failed to overcome the competition.

Despite the recent decline in A-match scoring ability, Cho Kyu-sung was appointed by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany) because if not for scoring, he could open up opportunities to other second-line strikers through a clear advantage in competition such as aerial ball. Among them, the aerial ball contest using the height of 1m89cm and the second ball opportunity through it can be an important attack route, but this opportunity was not created in the match against Jordan.

With scoring only two goals in 15 recent A-match games, the team has yet to gain a significant advantage even in the competition for aerial ball games like it did in the match against Jordan. If this continues, there will inevitably be question marks over the value of the team’s use as a front-line striker. It is in the same vein that some call for changes in the front-line strikers, including Son’s forward deployment.

Spain’s El Nacional said on the 21st (Korea Standard Time), “Man City plans to complete the recruitment of Birtz with a transfer fee of 130 million euros (about 189.4 billion won), which is more expensive than Elling Holan,” adding, “There seems to be no limit to Man City’s project. Despite achieving a historic treble last season, Pep Guardiola’s team wants to renew itself and continue to strive to remain the best team in Europe.”

“We already have a team of many world stars, but we want to join promising young players who can perform at a high level at the Etihad Stadium for the next 10 years,” he said. “There are promising players like Phil Foden and Holan, but there are players like Kevin De Bruyne, who is already over 30 years old,” he said, explaining that he is looking for a replacement for key playmaker De Bruyne.

Birtz, who Manchester City are aiming for, is considered Germany’s best talent. Germany’s talented midfielder has been recognized for his potential early on. Born in 2003, when he was 18 years old, he showed off his potential by scoring five goals and six assists in 29 matches in the 2020/21 season, and emerged as Germany’s top prospect in the 2021/22 season with his remarkable record of seven goals and 10 assists in 24 matches.

Last season, he had only one goal and six assists in 17 matches due to a serious injury that ruptured his cruciate ligament, but European big clubs are constantly courting him. Having successfully returned from injury, Birtz has had eight goals and 12 assists in 25 matches in all of the matches this season, including five goals and seven assists in 18 matches in the league, and two goals and four assists in four matches in the UEFA Europa League. He is a key member of the strikers, and Leverkusen is also undefeated in 27 official matches.

El Nacional said, “The market value of Der Bruyne is still very high. According to Transfer Markt, it is worth 100 million euros. Manchester City is such an important player to consider transferring, and it will be an important part of Manchester City’s project,” but added, “It is clear that Manchester City must find a young player who can play in the midfield for the next 10 years. The Manchester City scouts have already made a clear answer on who it should be.”

According to media outlets, Manchester City is planning to offer a whopping 130 million euros to recruit Birz. Although there is no official contact with Leverkusen yet, negotiations are expected to begin within a few months ahead of the transfer window this summer.

Manchester City is not the only team that wants to recruit Birtz. The German Bavarian Football Association said last month that Birtz’s potential move to Munich is taking shape. Rumors about Birtz’s move to recruit him have already been around for the past few months, and as Munich is hinting at a reshuffle of its squad recently, the move to recruit Birtz is becoming more certain. 파워볼사이트

“Birtz’s clear plan is to stay at Leverkusen next season, dedicate the Champions League to the next stage, and then move on to the next stage of his career,” he said. “It is true that Munich has expressed interest in Birtz. Barcelona and Liverpool also inquired about Birtz. Munich is prioritizing the recruitment of a central defensive midfielder. Thomas Müller is also expected to extend his contract for another year, so if Birtz moves, the timing is likely to be in the summer of 2025.”

However, El Nacional predicted the possibility of moving to Manchester City, saying, “There will be few teams that can provide better sports and economic conditions for Birtz than for Manchester City.”

“After Liverpool showed interest, Wolverhampton is preparing for a proposal for Hwang Hee-chan,” British Football Insider said on the 21st (Korea Standard Time), adding, “Wolverhampton eased its financial fair play (FFP) rules by selling players last summer, but is preparing for a proposal for Hwang Hee-chan, who has emerged as a star this season.”

“Although it remains stable as the club’s finances are sorted out, Wolverhampton is still vulnerable to big offers to star players,” he said. “Liverpool continues to observe Hwang Hee-chan, who has become a hot star with his good performance this season,” predicting that if Liverpool’s big offer comes in, it will not be easy for Wolverhampton to refuse.

“Hwang Hee-chan’s transfer to January is almost impossible. However, Wolverhampton is concerned that Hwang could leave within this year. Hwang extended his contract with Wolverhampton until 2028 last month, but if other top-ranked teams other than Liverpool show interest, his value will soar,” he said, adding that despite recently signing a contract, chances are high that Hwang will move. 동행복권파워볼

Earlier, Football Insider also reported Liverpool’s interest in Hwang Hee-chan on the 1st. According to our information, Tottenham and Liverpool are keeping an eye on hot star player Hwang Hee-chan, the media said at the time. “The two clubs are interested in taking the 27-year-old player this summer. Scouts were impressed with Hwang Hee-chan’s performance after he took on the role of striker this season. Hwang Hee-chan can play as a left and right winger and also play in the center.”

“Hwang Hee-chan is scoring 11 goals in 21 games this season,” he said. “He was originally under contract until 2026, but recently rewritten the contract to extend the period to 2028.” The two clubs reportedly believe that Hwang Hee-chan’s recruitment is necessary not only to strengthen his power but also to expand the club’s business.

Hwang Hee-chan’s performance this season is also outstanding in the Premier League. He scored 11 goals and three assists in the first half alone, and scored attack points against strong teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United. Even the recent Premier League legends and masters have praised Hwang Hee-chan. This means that Hwang Hee-chan’s performance is not unusual.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola also paid attention to Hwang Hee-chan’s ability. Ahead of the Wolverhampton away match in September, Klopp said, “You can see that there are many good players in the Wolverhampton squad. Threatening players such as Hwang Hee-chan and Sasha Kaliajic have a great presence even if they do not play as starters,” referring to Hwang Hee-chan’s presence.

Guardiola drew attention when he called Hwang Hee-chan “The Korean Guy.” Guardiola forgot Hwang Hee-chan’s name and said “The Korean Guy” while pointing out the player to watch out for at Wolverhampton. Due to Guardiola’s mistake, Hwang Hee-chan was nicknamed the Korean Guy, and he scored in the main game and broke Manchester City, properly engraving the name Hwang Hee-chan on Guardiola.

What’s more noteworthy is that Hwang Hee-chan has been recorded as the player in Wolverhampton’s history who has scored six consecutive home-field goals. He also scored six consecutive offensive points in September and October, giving his team a critical moment. He received the Wolverhampton Player of the Month award in October, receiving support from home fans.

Hwang Hee-chan’s performance was enough for Wolverhampton to offer a new contract. Wolverhampton decided to continue his company by extending his contract with Hwang Hee-chan, which was valid until June 2026, to 2028. Wolverhampton announced on the club’s official website on the 22nd of last month, “Wolves top scorer Hwang Hee-chan promised his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract that is valid until 2028, which includes the option to extend one year.”

Hwang Hee-chan also said, “I’m really happy to stay here and I want to say thank you to my teammates, staff, family and fans,” adding, “I’m enjoying playing here and everything, including life and soccer,” adding, “I’m with very good team members and players, and everything here is amazing. I want to continue to play well and I’m ready to give everything.”

“The nine goals I scored this season make me happy, but I want to say thank you to my team members, the coaching staff and my family. Goal and help are something I can’t do alone,” he said. “I learned a lot from the coaching staff, so my goal is for the team. I will do my best to help the team.” With the signing of the long-term contract, rumors of a move were expected to slip away for a while, but interest in Liverpool did not cool off. We are constantly monitoring Hwang Hee-chan’s situation and reviewing the possibility of a move.

Currently, Hwang Hee-chan has left the Korean national soccer team led by Jurgen Klinsmann to participate in the Asian Cup. However, he suffered a muscle injury right after joining the national team and took rest of both the first and second group matches. Although Hwang has not contributed significantly to the national team yet, he is expected to return to the tournament and help it win for the first time in 64 years.

South Korea’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann met with reporters before entering training at the Al-Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar on the 21st and said, “I’m going to have a meeting while talking to the players.” 안전한 카지노사이트

The mood of the Clinsman team, which is set to win the title for the first time in 64 years since 1960, is quite different from the beginning of the championship. The “super-luxury corps” without any injuries raised expectations for the upcoming championship. However, the team is continuing its journey to the Asian Cup of the Association of Asian Football Associations (AFC) as it has been hampered not only by injuries but also by performance.

South Korea’s momentum has been dampened since the second Group E match against Jordan (ranked 87th in FIFA) on the 20th. In the first match, they defeated Bahrain (ranked 86th) 3-1 to announce a fresh start, but they drew 2-2 against Jordan. Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) induced the opponent’s own goal in extra time in the second half, which was heavily defeated 1-2, avoiding the “loss” in the winter.

It was close to a graduation match. He recorded seven shots on target out of 16 shots, but made only one goal excluding penalty kicks. He outpaced Jordan in most of the shots, including ball occupancy rate (64 percent), but failed to unravel the clue of his offense. He struggled due to strong pressure from the opponent team and counterattacks. He secured one point, but the mood was not as good as it could be.

The public criticism that went beyond criticism hit the Cleansman Lake. Public opinion has been formed that refers to a specific player as the main culprit behind graduation matches. Voices that shake “mental” such as left fullback Lee Ki-je and frontline striker Cho Kyu-sung, and Park Yong-woo who allowed an own goal to be tied are increasing as more and more competitions are held. It is the same fate as a professional player, but it is an issue that negatively affects the team’s mood.

The head coach himself stepped up. Klinsmann, a German legend, might have been in a similar situation when he was a player at major tournaments. Klinsmann, who communicates with the players frequently and exchanges opinions, arranged for a meeting with the players on Wednesday rather than intuitively watching the Group F match between Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan, which is highly likely to meet at a tournament.

“I will stay at the hotel and have some time to talk with the players, including interviews,” Klinsmann said. “I hope the players will enjoy this moment as much as possible. The most important thing is to think about how they can develop their performance on their own.” The Klinsmann team, which regressed itself against Jordan through recovery training on Monday, will take a full rest on Tuesday. It will also play the final group match against Malaysia on Wednesday.

Of course, the argument that pre-medical testing should be mandatory for a culture of transparent and fair contracts is also valid. However, there is one prerequisite for such a practice. “If pre-medical testing is to be mandatory like the Major League, it is the right thing to do,” argued Kim Sun-woong, a lawyer who served as secretary general of the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association.

It is explained that if the current system, where players are at a disadvantage, makes medical tests mandatory, it will be a perfectly inclined field toward the club. Lawyer Kim said, “KBO basically recognizes the club’s right to hold the club excessively, so in fact, the player does not have the freedom to sign a contract,” adding, “The four-year deadline for re-acquisition of the FA or the excessive compensation system is holding the player back. In the meantime, if a general medical test clause is included, it will be difficult for players to exercise their FA rights.”

“Some people keep talking about Carlos Correa’s case, but it doesn’t fit the situation in Korea,” an agent said. Correa, who came to the FA market after the 2022 season, agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, but the contract was canceled because he failed to meet the physical examination standards. Correa, who repeated the same situation with the New York Mets, eventually signed a six-year contract with the Minnesota Twins and stayed.

“Corea failed physical examinations twice, but it should be noted that they still found a team to sign,” the previous agent said. “It is possible because it is a free-to-compete MLB with 30 teams,” adding, “On the other hand, it is not easy to find another team if a player in Korea breaks his contract due to medical problems while signing a contract. He will have to become an FA mia or stay in his original team under conditions that are significantly reduced.”

Some point out that there is a problem with the provisions of the physical examination in the contract. “The regulation for medical examination is not mandatory. It should be viewed as voluntary provisions in the unified contract rather than obligations under baseball rules,” Kim Sun-woong, a lawyer, said. “It is unreasonable to say that the provisions include a detailed examination.” 토토사이트 추천

One agent criticized that the wording of the contract, “significant physical or mental defects that may interfere with participation activities,” is too vague and could be abused. “The club has to decide what kind of physical or mental defects are and how much they should be applicable. In the extreme case, even minor injuries, panic disorder or depression can be used to break the contract. It is a clause that is advantageous only for earring-style clubs,” he pointed out.

“In order to apply the clause, it should be narrowly interpreted as a ‘hazardous physical defect such as cancer or fatal injury’. It is reasonable for the club to bear the burden of proof as well. It should be allowed only when the club presents clear risks as objective evidence,” Kim said. “It will be difficult for players to accept that medical tests are mandatory without such premise.” This is why the pre-contract medical test clause is a “bad law” and became a dead letter.

Bayern Munich is moving away from winning the league title. It suffered a shock defeat to Werder Bremen at home this time. Munich lost 0-1 to Bremen in the 18th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 21st (Korea time).

The defeat prevented Munich from narrowing the gap with league leader Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen won 3-2 in an away match against RB Leipzig ahead of Munich and Bremen thanks to Piero Incapier’s theatrical final goal in the second half. Leverkusen remained unbeaten as both the league leader and unbeaten.

Leverkusen is currently top of the league with 48 points, while Munich, which has no points against Bremen, has 41 points. Although Munich has yet to play one game, it is not easy to catch up with the seven-point gap. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the same result as the one against Bremen, who were confident of winning, will not be repeated.

It was also not that Munich saved its power against Bremen. Munich put Harry Kane on the front line and assigned Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman to support Kane in the second line. Rafael Geheiro and Joshua Kimmich stood in the third line. The defense was composed of Alfonso Davis, Matheys D’Richt, Dayo Upamecano, and Konrad Reimer. Manuel Neuer kept the goal.

Munich led the game by increasing possession from the beginning. However, they lacked sharpness in attack. Kane at the front line and Mussiala at the back did not perform well. This season, Munich tends to rely on Kane to score, but when Kane did not burst, they did not score.

In contrast, Bremen attacked Munich with a clear counterattack. After blocking Munich’s attack in the 24th minute of the first half, Bremen attempted a quick counterattack, and Mitchell Weiser’s shot threatened the Munich goal. Weiser’s shot deflected off Davis and headed for the Munich goal. Had it not been for Neuer’s defense, Munich could have allowed Bremen the first goal relatively early.

Bremen’s counterattack was harsh. Bremen attempted counterattack again in the 25th minute of the first half, and this time succeeded in shaking Munich’s net. Justin Njima drove the ball to the Munich defense. After successfully dribbling, Njima scored with a right footed shot to break through the Munich net.

However, a VAR later ruled that a foul had been committed in a previous situation, and Eun Jin-ma’s score was canceled. Munich breathed a sigh of relief, but it was negative that it finished the first half 0-0 without a significant attack. 안전 슬롯사이트

Munich ended up conceding the first goal to Bremen in the second half. In the 14th minute of the second half, Bremen attempted a long pass from the back to break down Munich’s defense, and Weiser’s left footed shot from the right side of the box hit Munich’s goal. After the loss, Munich called in Kimich, Geheiro, and Davis and threw in Matisse Tell, Leon Goretzka, and Thomas Müller at once.

However, Munich’s substitution card failed. Tell, Goretzka, and Müller all failed to show significant performances. In the end, Munich was further out of the race for the title, as it suffered a 0-1 shock defeat to Bremen at home. The defeat was all the more significant because Bremen was in the bottom half of the group before the match against Munich.

Analysts say the team failed to take advantage of the opportunity. According to the “Port Mob” record, Munich took 68 percent of possession in this match, connecting seven of its 22 shots with effective shooting. There was one big chance, but it failed to score. It also had 10 corner kicks, which had more set piece chances than Bremen (2), but failed to score a goal.

Kane also showed sluggish performance, the main striker. Out of the three shots, Kane succeeded in shooting one shot on target, 23 touches, a success rate of 83 percent, zero ground contention (one attempt), and one aerial contention (two attempts). “Port Mob” gave Kane six points, the lowest rating among Munich players. However, Munich did not miss Kane during the game, and played full time for Kane.

Of course, the competition for the league’s championship is not over yet, but the defeat will inevitably come as a big blow to Munich as each game has a big impact on the championship competition. Since Leverkusen has been on a roll with 15 wins and 3 draws in 18 games since the opening, it is negative that it has not been able to raise the atmosphere for Munich. Munich still has a chance. However, it should hope that Leverkusen will slip away by winning most of its upcoming matches.

With this defeat, attention has been paid to whether Kane is irrelevant or not. Kane, who has been considered one of the world’s top strikers since Tottenham Hotspur’s days, was his career without any trophies. Kane has excellent skills, but he has never won a championship throughout his team’s career.

There was a time when I was close to winning the championship. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham finished second in the Premier League and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League. However, Tottenham was never close to winning the title since then. In fact, it was Kane’s last chance to win the title at Tottenham.

The same holds true for the Korean national team. Despite being called the golden generation, the English national team has only won the title at the 1966 FIFA World Cup in its own country. Kane again failed to win the title as a runner-up at the last UEFA European Championship 2020.

The championship was partly attributable to Kane’s decision to move to Munich. He believes that if he visits Munich, he will have a higher chance of winning the title. Munich is a team that is close to winning the title every season, as if it were a meal. Munich, which has the most wins in the Bundesliga, has never missed a league title from the 2012-13 season to the 2022-23 season. It could have given Borussia Dortmund the title the previous season, but it turned the tables at the end of the season and achieved its 11th consecutive league title.

However, there has been a palpable atmosphere this season. Munich started the season as a runner-up, losing 0-3 to Leipzig in the DFL-Super Cup ahead of the season’s opening, and was eliminated from the tournament in a 1-2 defeat by Zarbrücken, who was far apart in power. On top of that, the league is losing ground to Leverkusen, who has been showing good pace under coach Xavi Alonso.

If the current trend continues, Kane will not be able to break his record in Munich after Tottenham. He came to Munich to win, but he did not win, which was unimaginable even when Kane chose to go to Munich. Although he advanced to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, there is still a lot of time left to see him win. We have to focus on the league right now, but we have to go to the Champions League at the same time, so coach Thomas Tuchel will have a lot of worries.

With the Australian Open, the first major tennis tournament of this season, entering its second week, ball-kids have often been at the center of the spotlight in this year’s games. In tennis, a ball-kid is a player who helps transport and deliver balls during games, and is also called a ball boy or a ball person.

During the match between Marta Kostuk (37th, Ukraine) and Elina Avanesyan (74th, Russia) in the third round of the women’s singles in Melbourne, Australia on the 19th, a player who finished a long rally leaned on the Volkid to breathe.

After more than 10 rallies, Kostuk, who ran and received a drop shot falling in front of Avanesian’s net for a long time, was caught on TV broadcast cameras hugging the Volkid next to him and struggling.

Fans in the stands enjoyed the rare scene, and the local TV broadcasting team couldn’t hold back their laughter. Ball boy, who was embarrassed by the sudden hug, appeared in major foreign media photos.

Ultimately, Costuck came from behind to win the match 2-1 (2-66-4 6-4), and advanced to the quarterfinals of the first major singles for the first time in his career. The Volkid of the match had a positive impact on Costuck as a result, but there were also two cases in which it hindered the proceedings of the match.

During the second round of men’s singles match between Karen Khachanov (15th, Russia) and Alexander Kovacevich (101st, USA), Volkid snatched the ball in play.

Khachanov’s strong serve during the second set was hard on Kovacevic, who turned the ball over the net but looked as if it would fall off the line. However, Volkid, who was standing, quickly grabbed the ball before it hit the bottom of the court. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

If Volkid hadn’t caught the ball, it would have been Khachanov’s score, but the referee ordered “to put the serve back in accordance with the regulations.” Khachanov then complained to the referee, saying, “Where is such a rule?” and the situation ended when his opponent Kovachevich conceded, “I will admit Khachanov’s score.”

Kovacevic lost the match 1-3 (4-6 3-6 6-4 3-6), but he was applauded for his sportsmanship. A similar scene was seen in men’s doubles.

Volkid ran into the court during the second set of the men’s doubles match between the Linky Hijikata-Jason Kubler (Australia) group and Dominique Köper-Jannick Hanfman (Germany).

Volkid mistook the game for being suspended, came into the court to give the ball and soon headed outside, but the game was eventually suspended, and the play was invalidated at this time.

MLB announced the results of the first fan vote on the 28th (Korea time) to select players to participate in the 94th All-Star Game. Judge won 3,425,309 votes in the American League (AL), and Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper won 3,277,920 votes in the National League (NL). As a result, the two players will start as AL outfielder and NL first baseman in the 94th All-Star Game, which will be held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on July 17.

The first and second round of fan voting determines the starting players of the All Star. The players who rank first and second in the first round of voting will compete in the second round of voting, and the winner will be in the starting lineup. However, the player who wins the most votes in each league in the first round of voting will be automatically given the honor of starting without the second round of voting. Judge and Harper ranked first in the league throughout the first round of fan voting.

In the case of Judge, AL and NL combined to lead the way in major offensive categories such as home runs, RBIs and OPS, leaving fans with no choice. Judge became the second player to win the most votes in both leagues after 2022 when he set the record for the most in an AL season with 62 home runs. Judge is the 11th all-star vote in two or more leagues since the introduction of fan voting in 1970. Earlier, Ken Griffey Jr. (5 times), Rod Curry (4 times), Ichiro Suzuki (3 times), Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Carl Ripken Jr., Ajie Smith, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Jose Batista (more than two times) became the main characters of the most votes in all-stars.메이저사이트

Currently, Judge has a batting average of 0.307 (88 hits in 287 at-bats), 30 homers, 77 RBIs, 61 runs, a slugging percentage of 0.707, an OPS of 1.138, 54 long hits and 203 hits. In fact, the unexpected result is the NL. Harper received more support than Shohei Ohtani (2777,173) of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who was a strong candidate for the most votes. Ohtani ranked third in the NL after Harper and Alec Bohm (3,175,134 votes) of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Currently, Harper has a batting average of 0.305 (87 hits in 285 at-bats), 20 homers, 58 RBIs, 52 runs scored, 0.401 on-base percentage, 0.586 slugging percentage and 0.987 OPS. Freddie Freeman was the only player who actually competed with Harper for the NL first baseman, but Freeman’s performance in the first half of the season is relatively weak. Freeman has a batting average of 0.299 (90 hits in 301 at-bats), 12 homers, 50 RBIs, 51 runs and an OPS of 0.905.

In the NL designated hitter category, Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber and Atlanta Braves Marcel Ojuna also had strong cards. Schwarber, who came in second after Ohtani, is ranking first in the NL with 59 walks as of the day, and performed well with 17 home runs, 49 RBIs, 60 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.80. Notably, Schwarber made a strong impression during the first fan voting period by hitting six home runs and an OPS of 0.918 in June alone.

Not long ago, Ozuna secured the support of fans by leading the NL home run (21), but recently faltered during the first fan vote. This allowed Schwaber to turn the tables on Ozuna. Until the second midterm count on the 25th, Ozuna was about 60,000 votes ahead of Schwaber. Schwaber has turned the tide in the last three days.

According to the results of the second interim tally announced on the 25th, Ohtani received 1.77 million votes in the NL designated hitter category, Ohzuna got 940,000 votes, and Schwarber got 880,000 votes, respectively. Ohzuna and Schwarber have more votes than Ohtani. However, in Harper’s case, Freeman was the only real competitor. Freeman and Matt Olson, the third-ranked Atlanta first baseman, have only about half of Harper’s total votes.

Ohtani currently has a batting average of 0.322 (100 hits in 311 at-bats), 25 homers, 61 RBIs, 65 runs scored, an on-base percentage of 0.402, a slugging percentage of 0.643, an OPS of 1.045, 48 long hits, and a 200-base hit. Ohtani ranks first in seven categories including NL batting average, home run, scoring, slugging percentage, OPS, long hit, and Ruta. Despite his career-high batting performance, he has been pushed back by the second round of fan voting is nothing short of humiliating. Ohtani garnered the most votes in the AL in last year’s All-Star fan voting, but has yet to win the most votes in both leagues.

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, who is running fast to select the MVP as well as the home run king of the American League this year, garnered the most votes in all-star rankings. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, on the other hand, will go through the second round of voting.

“MLBcom” announced the results of the first All-Star voting between the American League and the National League on the 28th (Korea time). In the American League, New York Yankees Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper were ranked first in the National League.

At the end of the game on Friday, Judge displayed impressive performance in 81 games with 88 hits, 30 homers, 77 RBIs, 61 runs, and a batting average of 0.304 OPS. Judge became the first player in the Major League to hit 30 homers this year. He is speeding at the same pace as when he hit 62 homers in the 2022 season, when he became the home run king and MVP. Notably, Judge is showing 150 RBIs and a pace in the American League for the second time since Alex Rodriguez, the legendary player.

According to “MLBcom,” Judge won the American League’s “most votes” with 3,425,309 votes. In Major League Baseball, players with the most votes in each league can get their hands on a direct ticket to the All-Star game without a second round of voting, and Judge won this honor. It is the second time since 2022 that Judge has tasted the joy of the most votes in the American League, and he has been selected as the sixth All-Star in his career since 2017. In particular, the joy doubled in that all six All-Star appearances were made through fan voting, not “recommended” players.

While Judge was chosen in the American League, Bryce Harper eclipsed Ohtani and garnered 3,277,920 votes in the National League. Harper has 87 hits, 20 homers, 58 RBIs, 52 runs batted in, and 0.303 OPS of 0.981 in 76 games this season. Although Harper is not leading in the batting index at all, he has confirmed that he will play as an All-Star for the eighth time in his career based on his strong fan base. However, it is unclear whether Harper will play as an All-Star.

In a showdown with the Miami Marlins on the day, Harper appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury while running toward the first base after hitting the second base with two outs in the ninth inning. When asked about his physical condition after the game, Harper said, “I don’t know. It hurts that I’ve never experienced. It hurts,” adding, “I’ll have to see how he is tomorrow.” 파워볼사이트

Currently, Ohtani, who has recorded 100 hits, 25 homers, 61 RBIs, 65 runs and 16 steals in 79 games, has a batting average of 0.322 OPS 1.045, sweeping various batting indicators such as National League home runs (25 homers), runs (65 runs), batting average (0.322), slugging percentage (0.643), OPS (1.045), OPS+ (194), and Ruta (200-base hit) as well as setting a new LA Dodgers record with 10 consecutive RBIs in the game on the 27th, fell behind Harper in “firepower.” Ohtani ranked first in the designated hitter category with 2,777,173 votes, but failed to surpass Harper. Therefore, Ohtani is expected to play in the All-Star game through the second round of voting.

MLBcom said the players who surpassed 2.5 million votes in the first round were Philadelphia third baseman Alec Bohm (3.175,134); Yankees outfielder Juan Soto (3 million,121); Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutchman (2.79 million,525 votes); Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (2.777,173); Baltimore shortstop Gunner Henderson (2.664,120 votes); and San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (2,559,897 votes). The second round of voting for Major League All-Star will begin on January 1. The second round of voting will take place with one outfielder in the American League and the first baseman in the National League.
