Racism Again Towards Real Madrid Vinicius Junior

Racism Again Towards Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior… This Time, ‘Children’

The league secretariat has launched an investigation after it was discovered that Vinicius Junior,

a goal scorer for Spanish professional soccer team Real Madrid,

was subjected to racial discrimination by a ‘child’.

Sports media outlet ‘The Athletic’ reported on the 4th (Korean time) that the La Liga Secretariat is investigating racial discrimination that occurred during the 27th round match between Real Madrid and Valencia in the 2023-2024 Spanish La Liga season. 토토사이트

During the game held at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia the day before,

a video was posted on social media of a child in the stands mocking Vinicius by calling him a ‘monkey’.

When ‘ESPN Brazil’ posted this video, the controversy grew.

Vinicius, a black man from Brazil who shows an unrivaled sense of goal in La Liga,

has many experiences of being the victim of racial discrimination.

Of the cases of racial discrimination against Vinicius Junior over the past year and a half,

only about 10 have been made known to the world through reports.

In particular, this is not the first time that Valencia fans have suffered damage.

Vinicius also had to hear the sound of a ‘monkey’ during the Valencia expedition in May last year.

At the time, Vinicius posted a criticism on social media, saying,

“Racial discrimination has become routine in La Liga,”

and the issue of racial discrimination in soccer became a topic of global debate.

At the time, the La Liga secretariat imposed a disciplinary action against Valencia,

partially closing its home stadium for five games and imposing a fine of 45,000 euros (approximately 65 million won).

Real Madrid drew 2-2 with Valencia in the 27th round.

Vinicius saved Real Madrid from defeat by scoring consecutive goals in extra time in the first half and in the 31st minute of the second half.

He did a goal celebration by raising his right fist,

which is said to be meant to protest against racial discrimination.

800,000 Won to Watch Lionel Messi Stretch

800,000 Won to Watch Lionel Messi Stretch?… Hong Kong ‘Anger’

Local soccer fans were upset when world-famous soccer star Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) did not participate in the Hong Kong professional soccer all-star team friendly match due to an injury.

According to Hong Kong media on the 5th, Messi and Luis Suarez missed the friendly match between the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) Inter Miami and the Hong Kong national team held at Hong Kong Stadium the previous afternoon without notice.

As a result, tens of thousands of fans who gathered to watch Messi play not only in Hong Kong but also in mainland China and neighboring Southeast Asian countries called it a “fraud” and demanded a refund. 파워볼게임

Angry fans continued to criticize the incident on various social media.

Tatler Asia, which hosted the match,

promoted the match extensively by featuring Messi,

and ticket prices soared up to 4,880 Hong Kong dollars (about 840,000 won).

Citing multiple sources, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported

“Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee, who observed the game,

was also confident that Messi would play.”

He added, “The Hong Kong government was told on the morning of the match that Messi would play as captain,

even when officials noticed that Lionel Messi was not included in the squad just before the match, they were not informed of any change in plans.”

SCMP said, “The officials were only told that Lionel Messi was injured,

and when he did not show up after the game,

they asked him to at least come to the stadium to receive the trophy and provide a few explanations.”

Inter Miami owner David Beckham provided an explanation and an apology.

“He promised to do it, but he didn’t keep it.”

He added that members of the Hong Kong Legislative Council (Parliament) also claim that the organizers should refund half of the ticket price to fans and also cough up a portion of government subsidies.

Hong Kong’s The Standard, citing sources, reported that “there is a clause in the contract between the hosts and Inter Miami that Messi must play at least 45 minutes in this match unless he is injured.”

In a statement released around midnight the previous day,

the Hong Kong government designated this game as a ‘major sporting event’ and provided a subsidy of 15 million Hong Kong dollars (about 2.57 billion won) to the organizers, and 1 million Hong Kong dollars as a stadium use subsidy.

It was announced that dollars (approximately 170 million won) were provided.

He added, “Regarding Messi’s absence today,

soccer fans and the government are extremely disappointed with the organizers’ actions,” adding,

“The authorities will respond by reviewing the contract provisions,

including the possibility of a reduction in support funds, due to Messi’s absence.”

In a statement, Tatler Asia explained that they were disappointed like the fans

saying they did not know until just before the game that Messi and Suarez would not play.

He added, “The team’s medical team decided that Messi and Suarez were unfit to play,

and this disappointed everyone, including us.”

The Hong Kong newspaper reported that fans who were angry at Messi’s absence booed at the stadium and kicked a billboard featuring Lionel Messi.

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.

The Japan defeated North Korea 2-1 in the second home match of the Paris Olympics women’s soccer

third qualifying round held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on the 28th.

Japan, who had drawn 0-0 with North Korea in the first match held on the 24th from Pyongyang, North Korea, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,

won the two games with a total of 2-1, confirming their advancement to the women’s soccer finals at the Paris Olympics held in France in July-August this year. 바카라사이트

Japan succeeded in advancing to the Olympic women’s soccer finals for the second consecutive time and for the sixth time in total,

following the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (quarterfinals) held in the country.

Japan’s best performance in women’s soccer at the Olympics is a silver medal at the 2012 London Games.

Unlike the men’s team, where players under the age of 23 participate, the Olympic women’s soccer team,

where the adult national team plays, can only have 12 countries participate in the finals,

making it much narrower than the Women’s World Cup, where 32 countries participate.

North Korea, which participated in the finals of the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London tournaments and was eliminated in the group stage,

attempted to advance to the finals for the first time in 12 years, but failed.

On this day, Japan took the win with consecutive goals by Hana Takahashi in the 26th minute of the first half and Aoba Fujino in the 31st minute of the second half,

while North Korea had to be satisfied with Kim Hye-young’s one goal in the 36th minute of the second half.

In the third preliminary match held in Melbourne, Australia, Australia defeated Uzbekistan 10-0 and won the first game (3-0) and a total of 13-0 to secure a ticket to Paris.

Australia, the fourth-place team in the 2023 Australia-New Zealand Women’s World Cup,

will advance to the Olympic finals for the third consecutive time,

following the 2016 Rio de Janeiro (quarterfinals) and Tokyo Olympics (fourth place).

With the two Asian countries selected on this day, 9 of the 12 teams that will participate in the women’s soccer competition at the Paris Olympics were decided.

France, the United States, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Japan,

and Australia have confirmed participation, and one European team will be decided on the 29th.

The preliminary round to determine the two African teams will be held in April.

Meanwhile, Korea, which has never participated in the Olympic women’s soccer finals,

was eliminated in the second Asian qualifying round held in October and November last year.

‘Lee Jae-sung’s multiple goals’ Mainz defeats Dortmund 3-0… Possibility of remaining↑

Lee Jae-seong of German professional soccer team Mainz scored multiple goals against Borussia Dortmund,

increasing Mainz’s chances of remaining in the Bundesliga.

Mainz won 3-0 over Dortmund in the 2023-2024 Bundesliga round 33 home game held at the Mewa Stadium in Mainz, Germany on the 12th (Korean time).

Lee Jae-seong took the lead in the big win by scoring an additional goal and a key goal. 카지노사이트탑

With only the last 34 rounds remaining,

Mainz is 2 points ahead of 16th place Union Berlin (30 points, -26 goals) and has a large lead in goal difference,

so they will remain even if they draw in the last game.

the 17th and 18th ranked teams are immediately relegated to Bundesliga 2,

and the 16th ranked team goes through a playoff to determine whether or not they will be relegated.

Lee Jae-seong, who has scored 6 goals and 4 assists in the league this season,

will tie his Bundesliga record for most goals in a season if he scores one more goal in the final game of the league.

Lee Jae-seong, who diligently roamed the pitch until he was replaced by Marco Richter in the 42nd minute of the second half,

received the highest rating of 9.2 among both teams from soccer statistics website Footmob.

Jae-seong Lee had a 67% pass success rate and a 100% tackle success rate,

2nd place Gimcheon won 7-3 in the away game against Ansan Greeners and won 4 times in a row,

narrowing the gap with leader Busan I’Park (66 points) back to 2 points and pushing the championship race to the last minute.

falling into two consecutive losses and finishing in last place (22 points).

At Cheongju Stadium, Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, and Gyeongnam, tied 1-1.

Gyeongnam, ranked 5th, was unable to widen the gap with the chasing teams, and Cheongju, North Chungcheong, had 2 points against Gyeongnam.

The gap jumped to 6th place and continued the pursuit.

After Lee Min-hyung’s first goal from Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province in the 13th minute of the first half,

the score hardly changed, but in the 43rd minute of the second half,

Gyeongnam balanced the game with Mo Jae-hyun’s penalty kick goal.

Lee Seung-woo Calls for the Abolition of the K-League Victory

Lee Seung-woo Calls for the Abolition of the K-League Victory Allowance Limit… “Nowhere else in the World”

Lee Seung-woo, the leading striker of professional soccer K-League 1 Suwon FC, publicly stated that the win allowance cap system should be abolished.

On the 14th, Seung-Woo Lee argued through the Korea Professional Footballers’ Association (Players’ Association) that restrictions on victory allowances should be removed at the league level and left to an ‘autonomous area.’ 온라인카지노

Seungwoo Lee said, “For players and support staff with low salaries and less seniority, the victory allowance is an important reward,” and added, “Rather than setting a cap, I think it would be better for each club and the players to discuss and decide freely.”

He then added, “There is no place in the world that sets winning allowances uniformly,” and added, “I hope this will be made public for the sake of the players’ rights.”

According to the Players’ Association, the upper limit of victory allowance for K League 1 is 1 million won and for K League 2 is 500,000 won.

The players’ association believes that these restrictions are particularly detrimental to low-income players.

The players’ association said that not only Lee Seung-woo but also many players wanted to improve the system, and voiced that it should be changed to a form in which each club pays autonomously according to the situation.

The Korea Professional Football League set an upper limit on victory allowances through the board of directors in December 2020 with the aim of reducing the club’s financial burden due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Previously, most K-League clubs paid a win-conditional allowance of up to 5 million won to as little as 2 million won per game in addition to basic salary and appearance allowance.

There was also a practice of paying win-conditional bonuses for each important game that were not specified in the contract.

At the time, the board of directors established disciplinary regulations, such as imposing a fine of up to 1 billion won on K League 1 clubs and up to 500 million won on K League 2 clubs that violate the cap regulations.

In March of last year, Lee Seung-woo also argued through social media that the K League’s mandatory participation rule for players under the age of 22 (U-22) was unreasonable.

Lee Seung-woo, a member of Spain’s prestigious FC Barcelona youth team, said in Spanish, “I will never understand the ‘U-22 rule’ in Korea.

Why is there no ‘over 35 rule’? What country in the world has this rule? “He wrote.

Lee Seung-woo, who had always played only in Europe and entered the K-League by joining Suwon FC in 2022, was given the vice-captain position ahead of the 2024 season.

Klinsmann, The Price of not Finishing First in the Group

Asian Cup Only Two Days of Rest Until the Quarterfinals… Klinsmann “The Price of not Finishing First in the Group”

“The fact that we are only given two days off before the game against Australia is the price we pay for not finishing first in the group,” said Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the Korean national soccer team, at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar match against Saudi Arabia on the 30th (local time).

He said this after finishing the Asian Cup round of 16.

Korea was unable to tie the game at 1-1 until overtime,

and won 4-2 in a penalty shootout,

barely advancing to the quarterfinals. 바카라사이트

The opponent in the quarterfinals is Australia.

This is the team with the best physique among the participating countries in this tournament.

However, Australia won 4-0 in the 90-minute regular time against Indonesia two days ago, on the 28th.

The match between Korea and Australia kick off at 6:30 PM on the 2nd of next month (0:30 AM on the 3rd in Korean time).

When asked how to overcome this physical problem,

Coach Klinsmann said, “There is not a lot of time left.

“It’s a long time to make a difference,” he said.

“Today’s victory can give positive and bright energy to the team atmosphere.”

“I’m happy to be with these players,” he said.
