Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in and Klinsmann will participate in the two-game World Cup qualifiers in November

Almost the same players as the October roster were called up… Goalkeeper Song Bum-geun returns after 5 months

Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany), coach of the national soccer team, called in all the elite members of the European team for the two-game series that begins the 2026 North and Central America World Cup qualifiers. 먹튀검증가이드

The Korea Football Association announced on the 6th the list of 23 players who will participate in the first and second rounds of the North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round to be held during the A-match period in November.

The national team led by Coach Klinsmann will begin the second qualifying round with a match against Singapore at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 16th, and will play the second away game against China in Shenzhen, China, at 9 p.m. on the 21st.

The roster for this two-game series, which is also the national team’s last actual game ahead of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup to be held in January-February next year, was largely made up of players who had been consistently called by Coach Klinsmann, led by ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham)

The roster is almost the same as last month’s international match period, when two warm-up matches were held against Tunisia (4-0 win) and Vietnam (6-0 win).

While the total number of players was reduced from 24 in October to 23 this month, one goalkeeper position was changed from Kim Jun-hong (Gimcheon) to Song Bum-geun (Shonan Bellmare), and the only difference is that defender Kim Joo-seong (Seoul) was missing.

In addition to Son Heung-min, European players such as Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) were named as the main players.

K Leaguers Moon Seon-min (Jeonbuk), Jeong Seung-hyeon (Ulsan), Lee Ki-je (Suwon), Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk), Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan), and Lee Sun-min (Gwangju) were also included.

Song Bum-geun returns to the national team after five months.

Song Bum-geun, who made his only international appearance in the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship game against Hong Kong in July last year, was on the list until June of this year, but was not selected after that due to injury.

The national team will convene at a hotel in Seoul on the afternoon of the 13th and train at the main stadium of Mokdong Sports Complex.

After playing against Singapore on the 16th, they will leave for China on the 19th.

The Football Association reported that Coach Klinsmann plans to reveal the background of player selection and general details related to the call-up through a media conference on the morning of the 13th, the day of the call-up.

In the second qualifying round of this World Cup, 36 countries will compete in nine groups of four teams each, and the first and second place teams in each group will advance to the third qualifying round of the World Cup and also receive the right to participate in the finals of the 2027 Asian Cup (hosted by Saudi Arabia).

In order to advance to the World Cup finals, the 18 countries that passed the second qualifying round must place in the top two of their group in the third qualifying round, which is divided into three groups.

Even if you place 3rd or 4th in your group in the 3rd preliminary round, you will have the opportunity to advance to the finals once more in the 4th preliminary round.

National soccer team roster for November World Cup 2nd qualifying round (23 players)

Coach Kim Joo-seong’s DB, opening 6 consecutive wins… ‘Overturning the difference of 18 to 19 points’

A professional basketball opening record of 8 consecutive wins is also within sight… Confrontation with Samsung on the 7th

After the opening of the professional basketball Wonju DB, the upward trend is unusual.

DB won 90-79 in an away game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis held at Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 5th.

In this game, Hyundai Mobis was expected to win easily with a 50-31 lead at one point in the second quarter, but DB launched a big counterattack in the second half and ended up winning by 11 points. 카지노사이트킹

DB is headed by coach Kim Joo-sung, who was a leading figure in Korean basketball during his active career, ahead of the 2023-2024 season.

Although they were evaluated as a mid-to-upper tier ahead of the season opening, the general expectation was that they were not at the level of threatening the ‘two-strong system’ of Jeonju KCC or Seoul SK.

However, DB has been on a six-game winning streak since the opening, beating second place KCC by 2.5 games and taking the lead.

The game on the 5th was not the first time that DB overturned a large score difference.

On October 28, against KCC, they showed their potential by ending the game, which had been trailing by 31-49 and 18 points, with a 101-90 victory.

The record for the most consecutive wins since the opening of professional basketball is 8 consecutive wins achieved by DB’s predecessor Dongbu in the 2011-2012 season and Goyang Orion, predecessor of Goyang Sono, in the 2014-2015 season.

If DB, which faces Seoul Samsung on the 7th and Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 10th of this week, continues to win, it is possible to achieve the record for the most consecutive wins since the opening game.

Didrick Lawson is also considered the main player in DB’s early rise.

Lawson is quickly being evaluated as the best foreign player this season with an all-round performance averaging 30.3 points (2nd), 9.7 rebounds (5th), and 4.8 assists (6th).

When he played for Sono predecessor Carrot last season, he averaged 18.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

In addition, it is said that captain Sang-jae Kang and national team member Jong-gyu Kim have both height and speed, adding to the power of ‘DB Sanseong’ in the past.

SPOTV commentator Lee Sang-yoon said, “Of course, the performances of Lawson, Kim Jong-gyu, and Kang Sang-jae are good, but coach Kim Joo-sung did a good job creating a team atmosphere where senior players such as Park Chan-hee also throw their weight on the court.”

He added, “Six men such as Seo Min-soo, Choi Seung-wook, and Kim Young-hyun also do bad things.

“He works hard and raises the team spirit,” he said.

In particular, DB still needs to strengthen its strength in that starting guard Doo Kyung-min has not yet played in the regular league due to knee pain.

The future game schedule is also favorable.

This is because they will play six consecutive home games starting with the game against Samsung on the 7th and ending with the game against Samsung on the 18th.

Commissioner Lee Sang-yoon said, “We need to manage the stamina of Lawson and Ethan Albano, who play a lot of time,” and advised that the long-term race should be completed by utilizing the newly recruited Jeff Withy or Doo Kyung-min, who will return from injury.

Kim Ha-seong, who holds the MLB Gold Glove, challenges for Silver Slugger on the 10th

Ichiro is the only Asian player to win both Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards.

Kim Ha-seong (28, San Diego Padres), who became the first Korean player to win the Major League Baseball (MLB) Gold Glove, is now a ‘defensive master’ recognized by MLB.

The Gold Glove, which Ha-seong Kim received on the 6th (Korean time), is awarded to the best defender for each position in the two major leagues.

This season, Ha-seong Kim played all infield positions except first base, protecting San Diego’s infield without any leaks. 카지노사이트탑

He appeared in 106 games, the most as a second baseman, with 856⅔ innings, and also appeared whenever the team needed him at third base (32 games, 253⅓ innings) and shortstop (20 games, 153⅓ innings).

The total number of errors was 7 (4 at second base, 1 at third base, and 2 at shortstop).

The Gold Glove only evaluates defense, and is selected and voted on by each team’s manager and coaches after the season.

In addition, since 2013, to ensure fairness in the selection of winners, sabermetrics defensive indicators have been reflected to a certain extent in the evaluation.

Kim Ha-seong is the first Asian player to receive the Gold Glove since Ichiro Suzuki (who won the award for 10 consecutive years from 2001 to 2010).

Ichiro played as an outfielder, and Kim Ha-seong is the first Asian infielder to win the Gold Glove.

While Kim Ha-seong was rejected, he even challenged for the Silver Slugger, which is given to the player who showed off the best attack power for each position.

Ha-seong Kim was selected as a candidate for the National League Utility category along with Betts, Cody Bellinger (Chicago Cubs), and Spencer Stier (Cincinnati Reds) at the Silver Slugger, which is scheduled to announce the winner on the 10th.

No Korean player has received the Silver Slugger, and among Asian players, only Ichiro (2001, 2007, 2009) and Shohei Ohtani (2022) have received it.

Ichiro is the only Asian player to win the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards simultaneously in the same year.

If the Gold Glove is symbolized by a ‘golden glove’, the Silver Slugger receives a shiny silver ‘Louisville Slugger’ bat.

With the introduction of the National League designated hitter system in 2022, the Silver Slugger in the pitcher category has disappeared, and its place has been filled by the utility category.

In fact, it is not easy for Kim Ha-seong to win the Silver Slugger award.

This season, he had his best season with a batting average of 0.260, 17 home runs, 60 RBI, 38 stolen bases, and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.749, but his competitors’ performance is very good.

Betts performed at the league’s MVP level with a batting average of 0.307, 39 home runs, 107 RBI, and an OPS of 0.987, while Bellinger made a comeback with a batting average of 0.307, 26 home runs, 97 RBI, and an OPS of 0.881.

Steer’s performance is a batting average of 0.271, 23 home runs, 86 RBI, and an OPS of 0.820.

For Kim Ha-seong, regardless of whether he received the award or not, the mere fact that he was named as a finalist for the player who showed off the best offensive ability in each position is meaningful.

Kim Ha-Seong, the first Korean to win MLB Gold Glove… Utility Beast

Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the second base department… MLB.com “Kim Ha-seong showed off his versatility again”

Kim Ha-seong (28, San Diego Padres) became the first Korean player ever to win the Gold Glove Award, given to the best player at each position in the Major League Baseball (MLB).

Ha-seong Kim was named the Golden Glove winner in the National League Utility Fielder category in the list of 2023 MLB Gold Glove winners from both major leagues announced on the 6th (Korean time).

The utility fielder category, which refers to an all-purpose fielder, was first established in 2022

Kim Ha-seong is a finalist for Mookie Betts (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Korean-born Tommy Ed, who played with the Korean national baseball team in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March of this year.

He beat Munn (St. Louis Cardinals) and received the honor. 온라인카지노사이트

Ha-seong Kim showed off solid defense in all infield positions except first base, including his main position at second base, as well as third base and shortstop, becoming the first Korean big leaguer to wear the golden glove in the all-around fielder category.

Ha-seong Kim was a finalist in the shortstop category last year, but resolved the regret of missing the award after a year.

In particular, it is even more valuable because it has erased the preconceived notion that Asian players have difficulty finding a spot in the big league infield and has been recognized as the king of defense.

When the San Diego club hired Sander Boharz this year, Ha-seong Kim, who gave up the shortstop position to Boharz and moved to second base, played in 101 games as a second baseman

30 games as a third baseman, and 18 games as a shortstop this season, leading the Padres’ infield.

I kept it.

MLB.com said that Ha-seong Kim once again showed off his versatility as an infielder as a second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman in San Diego this season, and when looking at DRS (defensive runs saved), an indicator of how well a defender prevents runs

Ha-seong Kim It was introduced that he recorded 10 as a second baseman and 3 each as a third baseman and shortstop, for a total of 16.

He added that the second baseman’s DRS figure was the second highest in the league after this year’s National League second baseman Gold Glove winner Nico Horner (Chicago Cubs, ’12).

Horner was recognized as the best second baseman in the league, beating Ha-seong Kim and Bryson Stott (Philadelphia Phillies), who were finalists for the Gold Glove Award in the second baseman category.

Looking at the method of selecting the Gold Glove winner, it appears that Kim Ha-sung’s defensive performance left a strong impression on the minds of all managers and coaches in the big league.

Rawlings, a baseball equipment manufacturer and organizer of the Gold Glove Award, determines the winner by combining the votes of 30 team managers and up to six coaches per team, as well as the defensive index of the American Baseball Research Association.

The coaches’ vote accounted for 75%, overwhelming the defensive index (25%), which is a statistical figure.

Even if Ha-Seong Kim was slightly behind his competitors in terms of statistics, it can be interpreted that other team leaders who work together in the actual game evaluated Ha-Seong Kim’s defensive skills highly.

Meanwhile, Fernando Tatis Jr. was selected as the Gold Glove winner in the right field category, shining on the team along with Ha-seong Kim.

‘Golden Boy’ Lee Kang-in challenges attack points in 4 consecutive games ‘comes out to AC Milan’

AC Milan and European Champions League group stage match in the early morning of the 8th

‘Golden Boy’ Lee Kang-in attempts to score in two consecutive matches in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

Lee Kang-in’s team, Paris Saint-Germain (France), will play an away game against AC Milan (Italy) in Group F of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League group stage held in Milan, Italy at 5 a.m. on the 8th (Korean time).

Lee Kang-in scored a goal in the home game against AC Milan on October 25, helping the team win 3-0. 카지노사이트위키

For Lee Kang-in, who transferred to Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the 2023-2024 season, it was his first goal for his new team and his debut goal in UCL, which is called the ‘stage of dreams’.

Lee Kang-in, who is playing against AC Milan, whom he has good memories of, this time on an away trip, has recently shown a sharp rise.

In the league match against Brest on October 29, the very next game after his Paris Saint-Germain debut goal, he provided an assist to teammate Kylian Mbappe, recording his first assist since his transfer.

Also, on the 4th, he opened the scoring against Montpellier, scoring his first goal in a league game and creating offensive points for the third consecutive game.

It is expected that the increase in attack points in three consecutive games, which started with a goal against AC Milan, will become even hotter when they meet AC Milan again.

Paris Saint-Germain is in first place in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss.

Borussia Dortmund (Germany) and Newcastle United (England), who each have 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, formed the second place group.

AC Milan is at the bottom of the group with 2 draws and 1 loss.

Kim Min-jae, a national team defender who plays for Germany’s Bayern Munich, will call Galatasaray (Turkiye) home at 5 a.m. on the 9th for the 4th game of Group A.

Bayern Munich was eliminated in the second round of the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal held on the 2nd, losing 1-2 to third division team FC Saarbrücken, and is in a situation where they need to lift their spirits.

Bayern Munich, who is in first place in Group A with 3 wins, can further solidify its lead if it wins against 2nd place Galatasaray (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss) on this day.

Hwang In-beom, who plays for Zvezda (Serbia), will play the 4th game of Group G against Leipzig (Germany) as his home game at 5 am on the 8th.

Celtic (Scotland), which includes Hyun-Kyu Oh and Hyun-Jun Yang, will play an away game in Group E against Atletico Madrid (Spain) at the same time.

Zvezda and Celtic are at the bottom of the group with 1 draw and 2 losses until the third game, so a turnaround is needed.
