The team’s performance was also not good.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction won all games played in January, but recorded 1 win and 2 losses in the 3 games played since February.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction easily gave up the first set, then won the second set to tie the game, and then gave up the third set again.

In the 4th set, the match was pushed to the 5th set thanks to the performances of mother Vasoko Letizia (registered name: MoMA) and Jeong Ji-yoon.

The 5th set was intense.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction seemed to be on the cusp of victory with an 11-8 lead, but Yang Hyo-jin made a big mistake by attacking in the wrong place and allowed them to catch up.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction again recorded a painful mistake in 2013-12.

Lee Da-hyun and MoMA hesitated to receive the high ball, allowing a tie.

Although it was the worst situation, Hyundai Engineering & Construction emerged victorious after many twists and turns.

At 13-13, MoMA scored a thousand points with a parry attack, and at 14-14, Jeong Ji-yoon took the lead with a calm attack.

And at 15-14, Lee Da-hyun finished the game by blocking the attack of Bae Yu-na of the opposing team.

As the score gap widened in the 4th set, Woori Card removed the main players and began preparing for the 5th set.

The game was decided in the final 5 sets.

Jesse Lingard Really Came to Korea, Joining FC Seoul

‘Former Manchester United’ Jesse Lingard Really Came to Korea… Joining FC Seoul ‘Right Before our Eyes’

 

Manchester United’s 200th total appearance, England national team spearhead, converted to free agency due to poor performance and injury last season, 2-year contract extended by 1 year, K-League 1’s highest salary.

If the transfer is completed, he will be ‘the best foreign player in K-League history’ 온라인카지노

Midfielder Jesse Lingard (32), who played for Manchester United (Manchester United, England) and the England national team, visited Korea to go through the process of joining K League 1 FC Seoul.

When Lingard arrived at Incheon International Airport wearing a black hoodie and a hat on the afternoon of the 5th, about 200 fans who had gathered at the gate three hours ago chanted his name ‘Jesse’.

Lingard waved goodbye and signed autographs for fans who brought Manchester United and FC Seoul uniforms.

Previously, he posted a picture on his social network service (SNS) of waiting to check-in his luggage at the airport with Korean Air, hinting at his ‘bound for Seoul’.

Lingard is scheduled to enter final negotiations to join FC Seoul.

It has been reported that a significant portion of the agreement has already been reached.

On the 2nd, Britain’s Sky Sports reported, “It is understood that they have agreed to a verbal contract that includes a basic two-year contract with a one-year extension.”

The annual salary is estimated to be around 1.5 to 2 billion won, the highest level in K League 1.

If negotiations proceed without a hitch, Lingard will undergo a health checkup on the 6th, sign a contract on the 7th, and then meet Korean fans for the first time at a press conference on the 8th.

After the introductory press conference, he is expected to join the FC Seoul squad, which is undergoing field training in Kagoshima, Japan, and begin teamwork in earnest.

Among foreign players who have played on the Korean professional soccer stage, Lingard is evaluated as the best of all time in terms of ‘name value’ alone.

Lingard, a former Manchester United youth player, gained experience on loan to Birmingham City, Brighton, and Derby County before making his English Premier League (EPL) debut in 2015.

He has over 200 career appearances for Manchester United through the 2021-2022 season.

He played 32 games for the England national team and scored 6 goals, especially helping the team advance to the semifinals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Lingard left Manchester United and moved to Nottingham Post ahead of the 2022-2023 season, but was released as a free agent last summer due to poor performance and a hamstring injury.

Unable to find a team even after the new season began, he explored transfers to Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, but then accelerated negotiations with FC Seoul.

Jesse Lingard’s last official appearance was as a substitute in the 88th minute of the second half of a league game against Manchester United in April last year.

As he faces a gap of nearly a year in actual play, the key is whether his soft landing at FC Seoul can be successful.

Former England national team midfielder Jesse Lingard (31), who is about to join FC Seoul in the professional soccer K League 1, has entered the country. 카지노사이트

Lingard arrived in Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 5th.

When Lingard, wearing a black hoodie and black cap, appeared at his arrival hall, about 200 fans waiting for him cheered and chanted ‘Jessie’.

Lingard was momentarily taken aback as if he had not expected the huge crowd welcoming him, but then responded with a smile and a wave.

Lingard approached the fans who were chanting his name, signed his uniform, readily accepted the fan’s request for a photo, and quickly left the airport under the guidance of club officials.

Lingard is an attacking midfielder who also played for the England national team, and is a star player who played over 200 games for Manchester United (Man Utd), a famous English Premier League (EPL) team.

Lingard, who received news that he would challenge the K-League stage through Seoul Wool, entered the country on this day and concluded final negotiations with the club.

He will then undergo a medical test on the 6th and sign the final contract on the 7th.

The plan is to exchange first greetings with Korean fans at an introductory press conference on the 8th, then join the Seoul team that is training in Kagoshima, Japan, and begin strengthening in earnest.

Lingard posted on his social media this morning that he would check in his luggage at the Korean Air counter at Heathrow Airport in London, England and go to Korea soon.

When news broke that Lingard would arrive in Korea this afternoon, numerous fans gathered at the arrival hall, wearing Seoul uniforms and holding mufflers in their hands, forming a long line about two hours before he showed up.

Kim Min-seong (16), who waited for Lingard for over two hours with high dreams of winning, said, “When the news that he was coming to Seoul appeared, I couldn’t believe it and it felt like a dream,” and emphasized, “There is a 99% chance of winning this year.”

Wearing a red Seoul uniform, he smiled brightly and said, “I think Jesse Lingard will definitely score 10 goals.

I hope he scores up to 20 goals.”

Likewise, Lee Jae-hoo (19), who came to the airport with two acquaintances wearing a Seoul uniform, said, “I heard that Lingard is coming into the country today, but as a Seoul fan, I couldn’t sit still, so I came to the airport.”

He added, “The value of the name Lingard is strong in my heart.

“I was stuck,” he said.

Mr. Kim, who said he will ‘blow the flute’ like his symbolic ceremony when Lingard walks out of the arrival hall, said, “Seoul is a team that always challenges for the championship, and Lingard’s arrival will have an impact on increasing the number of spectators and heightening the atmosphere at the stadium.”

“I’m really looking forward to the season,” he said, unable to hide his excitement.

Park Hae-min, We Need to Prepare for Change

박해민 "베이스 확대, 도루 증가 담보하지 않아…변화 대비해야" | 연합뉴스

Park Hae-min, “Expanding the Base does not Guarantee an Increase in Stolen Bases… We Need to Prepare for Change”

 

“My peer Jeong Soo-bin’s stolen base king is also a good motivation for me.”

The announcement of the expansion of the base size and the introduction of the pitch clock is very welcome news for ‘Big Islander’ Park Hae-min (33, LG Twins).

However, Park Hae-min calmly said, “Just because it is advantageous for running baseball does not necessarily mean that stolen bases will increase,” and “You can only enjoy the effects if you thoroughly analyze the changed system and prepare for the change.” 바카라사이트

Park Hae-min, who met at Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 30th just before the professional baseball LG Twins team departed for Arizona, USA, where they set up spring training, said, “In 128 games, 200 hits were recorded (Seo Geon-chang’s 201 hits in 2014).

Many people think that there are 144 games.“

The system expected a record of more than 200 hits, but since then, no batter has hit more than 200 hits.”

“If you want to do that, you have to prepare accordingly,” he said.

This means that efforts will be made to take advantage of the regulations.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has decided to expand the base size from 15 square inches to 18 square inches starting from the start of the 2024 season.

Pitch Clock will undergo pilot operation to determine whether to apply it in the second half of the year.

In the American professional baseball major league, stolen base attempts and successes have increased significantly due to the expansion of base size and pitch clock.

In 2022, John Bertie ranked first in the major leagues in this category with 41 stolen bases.

The number of stolen bases by Ronald Acuña Jr., the number one player in 2023, was 73.

Park Hae-min ranked first in stolen bases in the KBO League for four consecutive seasons from 2015 to 2018 when he was a member of the Samsung Lions.

The most stolen bases in an individual season is 60, achieved in 2015.

First of all, Park Hae-min announced, “He will play more often this year.”

However, what is more important is ‘increasing the success rate.’

Haemin Park attempted to steal bases 38 times last year and succeeded 26 times (68.4% steal success rate).

Both the stolen base success and success rate were numbers that Park Hae-min could not be satisfied with.

Although Park Hae-min was disappointed that the success rate did not exceed 70%, he was also stimulated by the fact that his peer Jeong Soo-bin (33, Doosan Bears) became the first stolen base king last year (39, success rate 83%).

Park Hae-min and Su-bin Jeong were born in 1990 and are the same age.

However, Park Hae-min, who was born in February, entered school a year earlier and is called ‘senior’.

Park Hae-min said, “The fact that Soo-bin Jeong ranked first in stolen bases last year motivated me, too.

Through Soo-bin Jeong, I gained confidence that I can challenge for the stolen base king again.

Now that I have an environment where I can play more, I can improve my success rate and improve my performance further.”

“I will try to steal base often,” he said.

Although his success rate in stealing bases was lower than usual, Park Hae-min was a key player in LG’s combined championship in 2023.

In particular, in Game 5 of the Korean Series against KT Wiz, the last game of Korean professional baseball in 2023, he hit a 2-RBI double in the bottom of the 3rd inning and made a diving catch to prevent a run in the top of the 4th inning.

He also performed two spectacular uppercut ceremonies.

In the game where LG confirmed the overall championship, Park Hae-min was named Daily Most Valuable Player (MVP).

Park Hae-min was momentarily thrilled, saying, “Being selected as the MVP of that game will be something I will remember for the rest of my life,” and then added, “Now, we are the defending champions that everyone is keeping in check.

Even if we perform a little poorly, people may say, ‘LG is different from last year.’ “

Even if such a crisis comes, we must increase our strength so that we can overcome it well,” he said, revealing the firm resolve of a ‘those who must protect’.

Park Hae-min has become an ‘adult player’ to the extent of making this request.

He also sent a separate message of encouragement to rookie pitcher Park Myung-geun, who did not make the Korean Series entry and only accompanied the team.

Park Hae-min explained, “It may not be easy for a new player to accept, but Park Myung-geun helped the team throughout the Korean Series without showing any signs of discomfort.

I was grateful for that, so I expressed my feelings to Myung-geun.”

It is also a ‘ranking order’ in which one must actually act like an adult.

Park Hae-min said, “With senior Kim Min-seong transferring to the Lotte Giants, I became the third veteran among LG fielders after Heo Do-hwan and Kim Hyun-soo. It has been 3 years since I signed with LG.”

He added, “Including this season, I have 2 years left on my contract with LG.

No. 2. “I want to win more,” he hoped. 메이저사이트 백링크

Captain Oh Ji-hwan, Shift Restrictions are Advantageous for LG

캡틴 오지환 "시프트 제한, LG에 유리…불펜은 뎁스 느껴질 것" | 연합뉴스

Captain Oh Ji-hwan “Shift Restrictions are Advantageous for LG… The Depth of the Bullpen will be Felt”

 

Oh Ji-hwan (33), the third-year captain of the professional baseball LG Twins, feels the weight of the armband becoming heavier in the 2024 season.

This is because this is the first season for LG, which achieved its first championship in 29 years since 1994, to firmly establish a dynasty era. 카지노사이트

To that extent, Oh Ji-hwan’s gaze is directed not only to where he is standing, but also to the entire field.

It is his captain’s responsibility to ensure that the infield and outfield, as well as the pitchers, work together as one.

Oh Ji-hwan, whom we met at Incheon International Airport before departing for spring camp on the 30th, said, “I have a lot of responsibility,” and added, “I will not be complacent and will work hard while looking back at what I can do and what my juniors and team need.”

At the same time, he shared the ‘big picture’ he was drawing.

First, he judged that the ‘defensive shift limit’ that will be applied starting this season is advantageous to LG Twins.

Shifting is a tactic that leaves one side empty and places an infielder between first and second base, or between third base and the shortstop, in order to completely block a batter who pulls.

Oh Ji-hwan’s basis lies in the LG center line, which boasts the strongest team among the 10 teams.

The center line, which includes shortstop Oh Ji-hwan, catcher Park Dong-won, second baseman Shin Min-jae, and center fielder Park Hae-min, boasts high competitiveness in offense and defense.

Ultimately, the analysis is that LG will have the advantage as the shift disappears and the defensive ability of each fielder becomes more important.

Oh Ji-hwan judged, “There are many friends on our team who have a wide defensive range.

In particular, Haemin, myself, Minjae, and Dongwon have a strong center line, so this will be an advantage.”

He also expressed confidence in the pitching staff, with closer Go Woo-seok advancing to MLB and bullpen Ham Deok-ju leaving due to injury.

Oh Ji-hwan said, “Last year’s 42 comeback wins were possible because the reserve players played their roles even if someone came out,” and assured, “You will be able to accurately see the ‘depth’ (thick player base) this season.”

He said, “I think this will have the positive effect of intensifying competition because there are many people who want to take the position (vacancy),” adding, “If (Yoo) Young-chan makes 30 saves, our chances of winning increase.

Deok-ju “Until I return, there are Kim Yu-young and Yun Ho-sol.”

He also did not forget his determination for himself.

This year is the first year of the ‘6-year, 12.4 billion won’ multi-year contract he agreed to with LG ahead of the 2023 season.

Oh Ji-hwan said, “My next plan is to play for two or three more years. I will not settle and work hard with the thought of playing all 144 games and 1,000 innings.”

LG Kim Hyun-soo, Moment we Raise our Shoulders

LG 김현수 "어깨 올라가는 순간, 우리는 꼴등으로 내려갑니다" | 연합뉴스

LG Kim Hyun-soo, “The Moment we Raise our Shoulders, We Fall to Last Place”

 

Demonstrated desire to win 2nd consecutive victory with strong warning and weight loss

“The moment our shoulders go up, we go down to last place.”

Although he could still enjoy the joy of winning the championship for the first time in 29 years, Kim Hyun-soo (35, LG Twins) shook his head strongly.

Kim Hyun-soo, who met at Incheon International Airport before leaving for Arizona, USA, where the spring camp was set up with LG professional baseball colleagues on the 30th, said, “I am more worried than the satisfaction of winning last year,” and “It is more difficult to keep it than to go up.

We need to do it.” 온라인카지노

“We have to become stronger to stay at the top,” he said.

Kim Hyun-soo said, “I want to talk to my juniors during the spring camp about how much stronger we have to be and can become stronger,” adding, “Of course, I also have to become stronger.”

Kim Hyun-soo revealed his will to “become stronger” by “losing weight” before starting camp.

Kim Hyun-soo lost so much weight in the off-season that everyone who met him after a long time asked, “How much weight did you lose?”

Hyunsoo Kim said, “I have always controlled my weight.

“Last year, due to a back injury, etc., I lacked training during the season, so the weight loss this time was noticeable,” he said.

“I like sweet food, and recently I created and followed a vegetarian-centered diet.

“I tried to control my weight a little more actively this off-season,” he said.

“My clothes got bigger,” he said.

“Although it was due to the injury, the cause of the weight gain was lack of exercise.

“This year, I will maintain my weight well during the season,” he said.

Last year, Kim Hyun-soo posted a batting average of 0.293, an on-base percentage of 0.364, a slugging percentage of 0.383, 6 home runs, and 88 RBI.

Although it was a decent grade, it was not a satisfactory report card for Kim Hyun-soo.

Kim Hyun-soo said, “I have a lot of regrets about my personal performance last year.

It was buried because the team won,” and “I prepared that hard in the off-season.

There are many times when the results do not come out as I prepared, but this year, I hit more accurately and flew the ball farther, so I was most disappointed last year.

“I want to solve the lack of extra-base hits,” he said.

LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop suggested Kim Hyun-soo to have a batting average of 0.330 as his goal for the 2024 season.

Kim Hyun-soo pledged, “The director set a very high standard, and he will work hard to reach that goal.”

There was also news that Hyunsoo Kim would welcome.

The KBO decided to limit defensive shifts this season.

Shifting is a tactic that leaves one side empty and focuses the infielders between first and second base or between third base and the shortstop in order to block left or right-handed batters who are pulling hard.

Kim Hyun-soo said, “I felt myself becoming passive when a batted ball that I thought was a hit was caught by a fielder,” and added, “I will feel much more at ease with the shift restrictions.”

Kim Hyun-soo, who sees the ‘whole team’, plans to say ‘bitter words’ to his juniors in this camp as well.

Kim Hyun-soo, who predicted, “I think I will continue to tell you to train hard,” looked at Kim Beom-seok, who had gained weight in his second year, and also revealed his “primary target,” saying, “I will help Beom-seok lose weight as well.”
