Wataru Endo (31), is still not out of the woods.

Liverpool’s Japanese captain, Wataru Endo (31), is still not out of the woods.

“Liverpool are open to selling Endo, one of Jürgen Klopp’s last signings,” the UK’s The Sun reported on Wednesday (June 13), adding, ”He has slipped down the pecking order in the race for a starting role at Anfield. He has slipped down the pecking order in the race for the Anfield starting XI,” and ‘Liverpool could still offload Endo after missing out on Martin Subiemendi (Real Sociedad),’ the Sun reported.

Endo, the Japan national team captain, joined Liverpool from Stuttgart last summer. The move was a surprise after Klopp praised his steady defensive play.

Despite some concerns, Endo adapted to the Premier League like a veteran. He made 43 appearances in his debut season, including 29 league games, and became a mainstay in Liverpool’s midfield.

It was enough to earn him a passing grade.

“When we signed the 31-year-old Japanese midfielder, did anyone expect him to be an outstanding player in the PL? Nobody knew, but it happened. Endo has developed into a world-class player,” he said. However, their relationship ended after just one year. Klopp suddenly decided to take a break from soccer, citing ‘burnout’.

New coach Arnaut Slott didn’t think much of Endo, and in preseason, he opted to play Dominik Sobosler and Ryan Grabenbergh in defensive midfield instead of Endo.

Eventually, Slott went in search of a new No. 6 midfielder, and he pointed to Subramendi. 메이저사이트 “Liverpool are confident they can complete a deal for Subramendi,” The Times reported. They are expecting Subramendi to move to Anfield” and ‘Slott is believed to be keen to move on from Endo’.

A Sociedad Sacral youth product, Subramendi is one of La Liga’s top defensive midfielders. At 6’2”, he’s not the biggest of players, but he’s a very solid defender with a great sense of stability. His passing skills also allow him to be the initiator of the buildup from the back.

He’s the definition of a 6th midfielder that many teams are looking for.

The arrival of Subramendi would naturally relegate Endo to the bench, and according to The Athletic, Liverpool would be willing to sell him if the right offer came in. Japan’s Soccer Digest also reported that “Endo will continue to compete for a place at Liverpool, but his prospects are far from bright: ”He is likely to be on the release list and leave this summer. If he doesn’t, he will struggle to get a chance throughout the season.”

The Sociedad side had no intention of holding on to Subramendi either. The Athletic said that a €60 million buyout clause could be a stumbling block, but added: “Sociedad expect Subiemendi to agree to join Liverpool. If Subramendi wants to leave, they will fulfill his wishes,” he explained.

However, things have changed quickly.

Instead of joining Liverpool, Subramendi decided to stay at Sociedad, the club he had been with all his life. His midfield partner Mikel Merino’s impending move to Arsenal made it even harder for him to leave the club.

“Liverpool initially thought Subramendi would be open to a move and made an effort to sign him,” says The Athletic. However, he rejected a move to Anfield. The deal was complicated by the fact that Subramendi’s €60 million buyout clause would have to be paid in full.”

There is hope in Japan that Endo could be rehired. “According to Paul Joyce, Liverpool are unlikely to pursue another No.6 midfielder at the moment,” said Japanese outlet Ultra Soccer, ”and the arrival of Subramendi has opened up the door for Endo, who was forced to compete for a place.” He also praised Endo’s performance against Las Palmas, raising expectations.

However, Liverpool are still looking to offload Endo.

According to The Sun, “Slott seems to see Grabenberger and Stefan Wijnaldum as better options in holding roles than Endo. This casts doubt on the future of Endo, who wants to play in the first team,” and claims that ”Endo could be on his way out of Anfield after just one season.” For Endo, losing out to Vaičetić, a 2004-born youngster with no first-team experience, is effectively a release slip.

Celtic and Marseille are monitoring Endo’s situation. According to The Sun, “Celtic are believed to be very high on Endo, who has fallen out of contention for a place at Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers believes a move for Endo would help strengthen his position in Scotland and on the European stage.”

Marseille were already in the hunt for Endo this summer. They reportedly made a €14 million bid for the midfielder but were unsuccessful. However, if they come back with a higher offer, Liverpool would have no reason to reject it. The Sun believes that Endo’s price tag will be around £15 million, with Marseille more likely to win the battle than Celtic.

If Endo does stay at Liverpool, Gravenberger will be his biggest competition. The midfielder is more of an attacking midfielder than Endo, but he has shown in pre-season that he can be transformed. Liverpool fan site Anfield Watch also believes that Grabenbergh would be the “ideal solution”.

Lee Kang-in shared a hug with Kevin Durant

Lee Kang-in (21, Paris Saint-Germain) shared a hug with basketball star Kevin Durant (35, Phoenix Suns), who has become a minority shareholder of PSG.

“Durant, a two-time National Basketball Association (NBA) champion, has invested in PSG with his company Bodrum Sports. He has purchased a minority stake in the club,” PSG announced on social media on Wednesday.

Durant even visited PSG’s training center in person. On its YouTube channel, PSG shared footage of Durant meeting and greeting PSG youth players, women’s team players, and men’s first team players. Durant was also presented with a jersey by PSG captain Marquinhos.

Lee also made a brief appearance, shaking hands and hugging Durant, who was all smiles. Lee is not a small man at 174 centimeters, but standing next to Durant, who is 211 centimeters tall, he was more than a head taller.

Durant is one of the NBA’s biggest superstars.

His salary for the upcoming season alone is reportedly over $51 million (approximately KRW 69.2 billion). He recently competed in the Paris 2024 Olympics, helping Team USA win the gold medal. By winning gold in four consecutive tournaments, Durant became the first player in Olympic men’s basketball history to win four gold medals.

Durant, who is a known PSG fan, even became a shareholder by buying some of the club’s stock. He already owns a 5% stake in the Philadelphia Union of the Major League Soccer 카지노사이트 추천 (MLS) and is a co-owner of NJ/NY Gotham of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).

Durant has also invested millions of dollars in PSG. According to ESPN, “Durant’s involvement with PSG is aimed at further developing the PSG brand in the United States from a marketing and sponsorship perspective. In particular, the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States.”

By partnering with superstar Durant, PSG hopes to tap into the fast-growing soccer market in the United States. The club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is reportedly close to Durant. “We are honored to welcome Durant to the PSG campus. He is passionate about PSG and we are honored that he recognizes our facilities.”

The 2024-2025 season is an important one for PSG and for Lee.

The club will be entering a new era following the departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid after seven years with the club. Much of PSG’s brand power has come from Mbappe, and they need to prove that they are a world-class team without him.

Lee faces stiff competition for the starting role. He bounced between the starting lineup and the bench last season, competing with the likes of Vitinha, Fabian, Jair Emery, and Ousmane Dembele. With the addition of João Neves and Desiree Doué, the second-year PSG player will need to step up his game.

Previously, Lee had received an offer from Saudi Arabia. According to France’s Foot Mercato, a Saudi team wants to make him the highest-paid player in the league. They want to pay him more than Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr), who earns €200 million a year.

Of course, this is only the Saudi’s wish, as Lee is one of PSG’s current and future stars. “PSG have kept the door closed on the sale of Lee,” said Foot Mercato. The player is happy in France and has no strong desire to leave.” Lee will continue to play for PSG in the upcoming season.

Jeonbuk Clashes with Seoul in 33rd Round

The first Final B Since its Founding?… Jeonbuk Clashes with Seoul in 33rd Round, ‘Even a Draw is Dangerous’

If 7th place Jeonbuk loses to 5th place Seoul, it will be final B.

Key resources such as Baek Seung-ho, Song Min-gyu, and Park Jin-seop will face the burden of being called up for the Asian Games.

Is it 10 years of power?

A tradition that shines with the first 5 consecutive wins in professional soccer K-League 1 (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) and the most 9 wins (2009, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) ‘Powerhouse’ Jeonbuk Hyundai is at the final crossroads of falling to Final B (7th to 12th place) for the first time since its founding. 메이저사이트

7th place Jeonbuk (46 points) will go on an expedition in the 33rd round of Hana One Q K League 1 2023 against 5th place FC Seoul (47 points) at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 3pm on the 8th.

This round 33 is the final game that separates Final A (1st to 6th place teams) from Final B.

However, the battle for rankings among mid-tier teams to determine Final A is a close race until the end.

The 1st to 4th ranked teams, Ulsan Hyundai (66 points), Pohang Steelers (58 points), Gwangju FC (51 points), and Daegu FC (48 points),

have confirmed Final A, while 5th place Seoul and 6th place Incheon United (47 points),

three teams up to 7th place Jeonbuk will compete in the fateful 33rd round for the last two spots.

All six games of round 33 will kick off at 3 p.m. on the 8th.

Among the three teams currently ranked 5th to 7th,

the most unfavorable matchup is Incheon. Incheon meets Ulsan, the ‘absolute top’.

Incheon and Ulsan played the second leg of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League group stage on the 3rd.

However, Incheon won a landslide victory (4-0) at home,

but Ulsan returned home after suffering a 0-1 defeat in Kawasaki, Japan, so Incheon has a good atmosphere.

In particular, Incheon is a team united with a strong survival instinct that becomes stronger in crisis situations.

I am confident that we were evenly matched against Ulsan this season with 1 win and 1 loss (0-1 loss, 2-1 win).

The game that fans are most interested in is the match between 5th place Seoul and 7th place Jeonbuk.

Jeonbuk will advance to Final B if it loses to Seoul in the 33rd round.

Even if Jeonbuk draws with Seoul, if Incheon secures a point against Ulsan, it will remain in Final B.

In addition, even if Incheon loses to Ulsan,

if Jeonbuk draws with Seoul without scoring, the points will be the same as Incheon,

but Final B will be confirmed due to losing the number of points.

Seoul is in a better situation than Jeonbuk as they can secure at least 6th place just by drawing.

In the end, the best way for Jeonbuk to prevent its first fall to Final B since its founding is to win the game against Seoul.

This season, Jeonbuk met Seoul twice and took the lead with 1 win and 1 draw (1-1 draw, 2-1 win).

The current situation in Jeonbuk is not very good.

Jeonbuk did not perform very well with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in the 8 games played between August and September.

During the same period, Seoul was slightly ahead with 2 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses.

Jeonbuk has to prepare for the Seoul game on the weekend after playing the second game of the ACL group stage away to Thailand on the 4th, and it is also burdensome that key offensive and defensive resources such as Baek Seung-ho, Song Min-gyu, and Park Jin-seop were called up to the Hangzhou Asian Games.

In order to reduce the movement of the players, Jeonbuk decided to stay in Incheon and prepare for the Seoul game rather than returning to Jeonju upon returning home.

Asian Games, Can Korea Regain Second Place Overall

Asian Games, Can Korea Regain Second Place Overall? Fierce Medal Competition with Japan

Korean archery, Japanese karate, etc. remain… Variables such as the final match at the end of the competition.

The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which opened on September 23rd and will close on the 8th,

is heating up the competition for final medals.

As of the 3rd, Korea has won 32 gold medals, 42 silver medals, and 65 bronze medals,

ranking third in the medal rankings after Japan with 33 gold medals, 47 silver medals, and 50 bronze medals.

China, with over 160 gold medals, is an overwhelming leader. 안전놀이터

Medal rankings such as those in the Olympics or Asian Games are not the official rankings of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) or the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA),

and also do not fit the recent trend of ‘medal color is not important’.

However, since the official website of the recent Olympics and Asian Games includes a section on medal rankings,

and every media outlet does not report medal rankings,

it is difficult for participating countries to not pay any attention.

The Korea Sports Council also set a goal of winning 50 gold medals and ranking 3rd in the overall ranking ahead of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

However, in the previous competition, the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang,

Japan pledged to close the gap where there were 75 gold medals and Korea had 49.

However, with only 4 days left until the closing of the competition,

the gap in gold medals with Japan is only 1,

so it is also natural that they are aiming to ‘retake second place overall’ 9 years after the 2014 Incheon Games.

First of all, Korea and Japan left one ‘medal box’ event in the remaining match schedule.

Korea is looking forward to archery, which will produce gold medals starting on the 4th,

while Japan is expected to have karate starting on the 5th, which will be a ‘medal field’.

In archery, Korea won 4 out of 8 gold medals in the 2018 competition,

and in karate, Japan also won 4 out of 12 gold medals in 2018.

There are 10 gold medals at stake in archery and 14 gold medals in karate at this competition.

In Korea’s case, in addition to archery, gold medals are expected in soft tennis, badminton, sport climbing, soccer, track and field, baseball, breaking, handball, and wrestling in the remaining schedules.

If we do well, it is expected that we will be able to reach the target of 50.

An official from the Japanese Olympic Committee said on the 4th,

“Japan has not set a goal of winning a few gold medals at this event.

Depending on the situation in each event,

second-level athletes participated in gymnastics and track and field,

and 1.5-level athletes also participated in wrestling.” explained.

The events in which the second-tier players came overlapped with other competition schedules, such as the World Championships,

while the first-tier players participated in other events, such as swimming, table tennis, and badminton.

When asked to predict the sports with the potential for gold medals in the remaining schedule he responded,

“Artistic swimming, badminton, archery, wrestling, karate, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, baseball, breaking, handball, hockey, soft tennis, etc.”

In the women’s individual event, they are in the finals.

On this day, Korea gave up a one-point lead to India,

where So Chae-won scored 9 points with her first shot in the first end and hit all 4 shots for 10 points.

Joo Jae-hoon and So Chae-won scored 10 points on all four shots in the third end to tie the score at 119-119.

But the reversal did not occur.

It’s the ‘greatest’ ranking race of all time.

It’s the ‘greatest’ ranking race of all time. It’s bloody on the field, but so much fun to watch. Who will cry and laugh in the second half?

The 2024 KBO League enters the second half of the season with five games in nine days.

The viewing point for the second half is clear. It’s a completely unpredictable standings battle.

It’s an epic battle. Every team has a goal. It’s interesting to see that there are no losers in the race for the title and fall baseball.

First, the championship race. The Kia Tigers swept the Samsung Lions at the end of the first half to take a 3.5-game lead, but it’s too early to rest on their laurels. They immediately open the second half with a three-game series against the second-place LG Twins. Depending on the outcome of this three-game series, the race for the top spot could change again.

Doosan, who have made a fresh start by replacing all their pitchers with foreigners, will also need to be careful. Given that Alcantara was virtually shut down, the math says that if Balajovic and Shirakawa can do more than that, Doosan’s chances of winning could be even higher. Samsung has also lost five in a row down the stretch, but they can’t be discounted as they’ve been on a winning streak and a losing streak this season.

Even more interesting than the race for first place is the battle for fifth place.

From fifth to 10th place, you never know who will have the last laugh. The fifth-place SSG Landers and 10th-place Kiwoom Heroes are separated by only five games. Kiwoom’s six-game winning streak at the end of the first half of the season ignited the race for last place.

No team is particularly strong, so it’s unpredictable. SSG Landers and NC Dinos have good base power. 해외 카지노 사이트 KT Wiz is the top dark horse in the second half. The team looks to repeat last season’s miracle of rising from last place to second place this year. The Lotte Giants have also come back from the dead in the first half thanks to the grit of coach Kim Tae-hyung and a strong offense. The Hanwha Eagles have also changed their fortunes with the appointment of Kim Kyung-moon. With the addition of Kim’s trusted assistant coach Yang Seung-kwan and pitching coach Yang Sang-moon, the team is expected to look even more different.

The biggest contributor to this season’s “honey jam” is Kiwoom. In fact, the team was rated as the worst team in the history of the game, with Lee Jung-hoo and Ahn Woo-jin missing. It was said that they could have lost 100 games before the season. However, the young players, led by head coach Hong Won-ki, have been performing beyond expectations. Especially the foreigners have been too good. As long as the league’s strongest one-two punch of Hurado-Heisus and Dawson, who is also a big man, doesn’t suffer from injuries, Kiwoom is a team to be reckoned with.

Lim Jong-sung became a hero of the Futures All-Star Game

Lim Jong-sung, who wore the iconic number 36 during his playing days with the Doosan Bears, became a hero of the Futures All-Star Game. Manager Lee Seung-yeop has identified him as the Bears’ next third baseman.

Doosan rookie infielder Lim Jong-sung, 19, started at third base for the Northern All-Stars at the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Futures All-Star Game at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on May 5, going 2-for-4 with two doubles (one home run), one RBI and one run scored.

From his first at-bat, Lim made his mark on the fans of the 10 clubs. With the score tied 0-0 and the bases loaded in the top of the second inning, he hit a leadoff solo home run off Southern All-Star starter Han Cha-hyun (KT Wiz). Despite the unfavorable count of 1B-2S, he took a four-pitch pitch from Han and connected with it for a 120-meter home run to left-center field.

It was the first home run of the Futures League’s ‘0-homer’0 Lim Jong-seong since joining the professional ranks.

After striking out in the fourth inning and grounding out in the seventh inning, Lim came to the plate in the top of the eighth inning with the score 5-9 and hit a single to right field against Jeong Hyun-soo (Lotte Giants) for a multi-hit game. Ham Chang-geon (LG Twins) and Lim Jong-sung were the only other Northern All-Stars with more than two hits.

Im Jong-sung also had a “crazy presence” on defense. Down 2-9 with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, he made a spectacular diving jumping catch on a line drive by Choi Jae-jin and threw it to first base to extend the out, 온라인카지노사이트 and in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 5-9, he made a diving catch on a line drive by Lee In-han and threw it cleanly to second base. It looked like the talent to succeed Heo Kyung-min as Doosan’s starting third baseman had been born.

Lim Jong-sung was named the Futures All-Star Game’s Most Valuable Player for his offensive performance.

He received 1 million won in prize money and Mediheal cosmetics products as a consolation prize.

Upon hearing about Lim’s performance, manager Lee Seung-yeop told reporters at Jamsil Stadium on Aug. 8, “He didn’t have a home run this season, but he hit one there. Is he a star player?” He laughed and said, “Our young player went to the Futures All-Star Game and showed good performance in front of baseball fans. I didn’t know how good he was because I only saw his second-team results, but he hit a home run in such an important game. I think it was an opportunity for people to recognize his name,” said Lee with a proud smile.

Lim Jong-sung is an infield prospect who was selected by Doosan with the 22nd overall pick in the third round of the 2024 KBO Draft out of Gyeongbuk High School, Lee’s alma mater. Upon joining the team, he proudly wore the number 36, which was Lee’s number during his playing days, and was invited to the star-studded festival after batting 2-for-5 with eight runs and 15 RBIs in 47 games in the Futures League.

A Doosan representative at the Futures All-Star Game said, “Jong-sung Lim is a prospect that the organization is looking to develop into an infield starter in two years. He’s been making a name for himself in the Futures League, and the club is keeping a close eye on his play.”

The manager went on to evaluate Lim Jong-sung as a third baseman who could succeed Heo Kyung-min in the future.

“The second-team evaluation is very good. I think he can have more value than his performance. I keep hearing reports that he has the qualities to be Doosan’s starting third baseman in the long run, so I’m watching his performance closely these days.” “I heard that he works very hard and sincerely in the second team. I think I’ll see him in the first team someday,” he said, noting the 19-year-old’s potential.

Seoul High School’s Kim Ji-woo is a star in the making

“My older brother, who is in the third grade, was injured, so I suddenly got to play, and I’m happy to hit a home run.”

Seoul High School freshman Kim Ji-woo (16) announced his star emergence with a huge home run in the second game of the 79th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship and weekend league championship between Seoul High School and Korea Masa BC at Mokdong Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Monday.

Kim, who started the game as the No. 5 designated hitter, stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the top of the fourth inning with his team leading 9-1 and took a pitch from Korea Masa BC pitcher Kim Chang-ju. The ball went straight down the left-field line and cleared the left-field fence. The dugout and the stands erupted in gasps and applause. The ball traveled about 130 meters and reached a speed of 169 kilometers per hour. It was a big home run that is rarely seen in high school baseball.

Kim Ji-woo, a freshman, made a surprise appearance as the designated hitter when the starting third-year player was suddenly injured. But he lived up to the faith of Seoul High coach Kim Dong-soo. He drew a walk in his first at-bat in the first inning and reached base on an infield single in the third inning on a ball that nearly went to the left of the second baseman. In the fourth inning, she capped it off with her biggest home run of the day. She went 2-for-2 with a double, one walk, one RBI and three runs scored before being replaced by Kim Se-jung in the fifth inning. She reached base in every at-bat and scored in every at-bat, contributing to Seoul Go’s fifth-inning comeback win.

After the game,

Kim Ji-woo smiled shyly, saying, “I knew I wasn’t supposed to play today, but I suddenly got the chance to play, so I thought I would try to hit the ball well to avoid embarrassing my brothers, but I didn’t expect to hit a home run.”

Kim Ji-woo, who attended Seoul’s Isu Elementary School and Gangnam Middle School before entering Seoul High this year, had already made a name for himself as a promising player at Gangnam Middle. With a height of 184 centimeters and a solid physique, he already attracted attention as a pitcher in middle school, 카지노사이트 추천 posting a fastball in the 140-kilometer range and hitting home runs and other long balls at the plate. This season, he is still going strong, batting .571 with seven hits and four RBIs in nine at-bats in eight games.

“Kim Ji-woo has been a promising player since middle school, and as a pitcher, his fastball is currently around 147~148km and he has a good batting feel,” said Seoul High coach Kim Dong-soo. “His main position right now is third base, and I think he will grow into an infielder and hitter by his sophomore year.” “If he continues to train and work hard, I think he will be a great talent in the KBO in the future,” Kim said.
