OK Financial Group Names Bayarsaihan As ‘Puma MVP’ In Round 1

Bayarsaihan Middle Blocker, an Asian quarter player of the professional volleyball OK Financial Group Eutman, was selected as the “Puma MVP” in the first round.

OK Financial Group announced on the 14th that Bayarsaihan was selected as the “Puma MVP” in the first round with global sports brand PUMA.

“Puma MVP” is the first event to be introduced this season with Puma, which has continued its relationship with OK Financial Group’s volleyball team as the club’s official equipment sponsor since 2021. This award is more meaningful in that fans directly select the players who performed the best in each round.

Bayarsaihan won 246 votes out of a total of 362 fan votes, topping the list with about 68 percent of the vote. Bayarsaihan, who was selected as the Puma MVP, will be given a commemorative trophy and a gift certificate worth 1 million won provided by Puma. The first-round Puma MVP award will be held before the home game against Korean Air on the 22nd.

Bayarsaihan, who was selected by OK Financial Group as the fourth pick in the 2023 Korea Volleyball Federation KOVO Men’s Asian Quarter Draft held on April 27, has been selected from the first game of the 2023-2024 season and is showing off a clear presence. Bayarsaihan, who showed off his outstanding skills from the first game by catching seven blocks against KEPCO on October 20, ranked third in blocking 0.667 per set, keeping a strong central axis of OK Financial Group.  배트맨토토

Bayarsaihan, who was honored with his first award, said, “Anything first is meaningful. It’s an honor to be the first Puma MVP. It comes more differently in that the fans selected it. We will maintain our best performance to further contribute to the team for the rest of the season,” he said.

Juventus renews contract with ‘gambling embroidery’ Paziola until 2028

Niccolo Pazioli, who was embroiled in a gambling controversy, has renewed his contract with Juventus.

Juventus officially announced on the club’s website on the 14th, “I am happy to renew the contract with Pazioli until June 30, 2028.” “Pagioli has been with Juventus since he was 14 years old. “I’ve played since I was a youth player,” he said.

Pazioli is an Italian midfielder born in 2001 who was called the future of the Azuri Corps and Juventus. He made his professional debut with Juventus as a regular youth. He has grown through the loan of Cremonesse and has gained opportunities in earnest since last season. He played 26 Italian Serie A games and scored three goals and four assists, showing competitiveness.

He was selected for the Italian national team and was selected as the Serie A best under-23 player. Pazioli, who began to fly, had high expectations this season, but he was caught up in gambling problems. The Italian soccer community was turned upside down when allegations of batting by some players, including Pazioli, were revealed. Gianluca Di Marzio, a reporter familiar with Italian soccer news, said on October 11, “Pazioli was investigated for betting on illegal online platforms. He is included in the investigation by Turin prosecutors.

The punishment has been confirmed. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said on October 18, “The Federal Prosecutor’s Office and Pazioli agreed to a 12-month suspension. Five months will be reduced to an alternative prescription. He must participate in treatment plans for at least six months, and participate at least 10 times at amateur sports associations, federal territorial centers and gambling addiction recovery centers,” an official announcement said. In addition, a fine of 12,500 euros (about 17.9 million won) will be imposed.  토토사이트

Euro Sports said, “Pazioli’s sentence has been reduced thanks to his admission of guilt and cooperation with the authorities in the investigation.” He explained, “At the end of May next year, he will be able to play in the last two games of the season against Bologna and Monza.”

He was disciplined, but Juventus decided to embrace Pazioli. “We will support the Pazioli treatment and training course,” said general manager Cristiano Ziuntuli. Re-signing Pazioli shows Juventus’ willingness to support him. Fazioli is a very important player for Juventus and everyone knows his technical ability and tactical intelligence. I’m sure Pazioli will come back well and I think it’s a huge asset for the team. I will trust Pazioli and wait,” he said.

34 Turnovers, No Replacement Despite The Worst Performance

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique’s choice was clearly disappointing.

PSG lost 0-1 to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the 2023-2024 European Champions League (UCL) semifinals at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 8th. PSG failed to overturn its 0-1 defeat in the first leg, failing to advance to the UCL final.

PSG was somewhat lethargic in the first leg. Even with Kylian Mbappe, the world’s best striker, he failed to threaten Dortmund much. He returned from defeat on the away road, so he needed to change aggressively at home.

In terms of what happened on the field, PSG’s defeat may be the result of the goddess of victory’s choice of Dortmund, as she suffered terrible bad luck hitting the net six times in one game.

However, we need to address the decision of Enrique, who trusted Usman Dembele terribly. Dembele was hired by PSG in a surprise move by Barcelona ahead of this season. He has performed well throughout the season. His combination of flexible dribbling and Mbappe was certainly his weapon. There is no right wing forward who has performed better than Dembele in terms of overall performance of the season.
Dembele’s biggest weakness is its ups and downs. Dembele plays as hard as no player can stop him in a game that shows excellent performance, but he is completely erased in a sluggish game. The second leg against Dortmund was among the latter.

Dembele failed to create a crack in Dortmund’s defense on the right. Having the drawback of poor ball guard compared to his dribbling ability, Dembele showed only his shortcomings throughout the game. According to data from Sofa Score, a soccer statistical media outlet, Dembele committed as many as 34 turnovers on the day. With PSG’s total number of turnovers at 142, Dembele accounted for 24% of the team’s total turnovers.

There was no reason to leave Dembele in the stadium until the end, as he only had turnovers at a time when he needed to score. Dembele only had one shot on the day. From the beginning, Dembele is not even good at scoring. Only when he demonstrates his presence as a breakthrough from the side can he prove his reason for using Dembele. In this match, Dembele dribbled only twice.

Even though Dembele showed the lowest performance of the season, Enrique did not replace Dembele until the end. It was not that there were no players who could play as right wing-forward. Lee Kang-in and Marco Asensio can also play as right wing-forward. Since Lee Kang-in, who was put in after 30 minutes in the second half, showed light movement in the stadium, it could have been a good alternative to put Lee Kang-in on the right side instead of Dembele to solve the attack.  스포츠토토

It is also true that the goalpost turned a blind eye to PSG, but Enrique’s judgment that he did not replace Dembele was also very disappointing.

He also introduced Kim Min-jae’s nickname as a “monster.”

Kim Min-jae was also listed in the “World’s Best 11” by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics IFFHS the day before.

He was selected as the center defender in the 3-4-3 formation. He is in charge of the back along with teammates Alfonso Davis and Huweng Dias of Manchester City.

Kim Min-jae played for Italy’s prestigious Napoli last season, making a remarkable contribution to his team’s first summit in 33 years and receiving the Serie A Best Defense Award.

In September last year, she was the first Asian defender to be listed among the 30 candidates for the Ballon d’Or, the world’s most prestigious award ceremony. Kim ranked 22nd in the Ballon d’Or voting.

Kim Min-jae won the men’s player of the year award at the Korea Football Association Awards on the 2nd, beating teammates such as Son Heung-min Tottenham, Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain, and Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton.
