Sumire, It Won’t be Easy, But my Goal is to be Ranked 2nd

Transfer to Korea’ Sumire “It Won’t be Easy, But my Goal is to be Ranked 2nd Within 5 Years”

Every day is precious… I hope it becomes an opportunity for both countries to develop together in baduk

I eat kimchi stew every day and among K-pop singers, I like IU.

Sumire Nakamura (15), a 3rd dan Japanese ‘baduk prodigy’ who moved to Korea Baduk,

honestly revealed his goals and determination to the media of both Korea and Japan.

On the 4th, Nakamura 3rd Dan held a joint Korean-Japanese press conference at Kiwon, Majang-ro, Seongdong-gu, and said,

“It won’t be easy, but within five years, she wants to rise to second place in the Korean women’s ranking.” 카지노사이트

Nakamura, who joined Nippon Kiwon’s special selection for gifted talent in April 2019,

won the 26th Women’s Tournament in February 2023,

setting a record for the youngest title in Nippon Kiwon’s history and playing an active role as a top female knight.

Her Japanese origins her career record is 164 wins and 88 losses,

giving her a winning percentage of over 65%.

However, experts estimate Nakamura’s level to be around 10th in the rankings in Korea,

where the player base of female knights is thicker than in Japan.

Sumire Nakamura said, “I think my current level of skill in Korea is around 15th in the rankings,” and “my goal is to raise my level to 2nd in the rankings within 5 years.”

Regarding the reason for setting the goal of 2nd place rather than 1st place, he said,

“In Korean women’s baduk, Choi Jeong, Kim Eun-ji, Kim Chae-young, and Oh Yu-jin’s 9th dan level is not easy for me to overcome, so realistically,

1st place is impossible,” and “Even if I only get to 2nd place, I can improve my skills.”

“I think it has been raised sufficiently,” he added.

About 30 reporters from major Japanese media attended the press conference on this day, showing great interest.

When asked again why he moved to Korea after leaving behind a stable life as a driver in Japan,

Nakamura said, “I know it is not an easy challenge in Korea because there are so many strong drivers,

and I feel anxious,” and added, “I learned a lot on my own in a country with a high level.

“I decided to transfer because I wanted to become stronger,” he said.

Nakamura is scheduled to face off against 9th dan Park Jeong-hwan,

who he said is the knight he admires most, in the Sawpalcosanol final round on the 11th.

“I am very happy to play against 9th Dan Park Jung-hwan,” he said, adding,

“I am nervous because he is a world-class rider, but I am really looking forward to the match.”

Nakamura, who turned 15 on the 2nd, is still a lively teenager.

Nakamura, who likes K-pop and especially enjoys listening to singer IU,

said he likes kimchi stew so much that he eats it every day.

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.

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.

Sumire Suffers a Disappointing Loss in her Debut Match

Japan’s ‘Go prodigy’ Sumire Suffers a Disappointing Loss in her Debut Match in Korea

Sawpalcosanol lost to 9th dan Lee Chang-seok by default in the first match of the finals,

“I lost, but the match was good… This year’s goal is to reach second place in the women’s field.”

Japan’s ‘Go prodigy’ Sumire Nakamura (15), 3rd dan, who transferred to Korea Baduk,

unfortunately lost in his domestic debut. 바카라사이트

Nakamura 3-dan lost to 9-dan Lee Chang-seok in 220 moves in the 4th game of the first round of the 5th Sawalcosanol Best Knight Final held at K Baduk Studio in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 3rd.

On this day, Nakamura built up his forces instead of allowing for practical benefits in the early stages, but the situation started at a disadvantage.

After the mid-game, he fiercely attacked Baek Dae-ma,

but was unable to land a decisive blow and was unable to make up for his lack of practical skills.

After the match, Nakamura said, “I was very nervous today,” and added,

“I lost, but the match was good, so I have no regrets.”

He also said, “There is no Fischer method in Japan, so I think I need to practice more,” and expressed his ambition,

“I think my skills are about 15th in the Korean women’s ranking right now,

but I want to raise my ranking to 2nd by the end of the year.”

Nakamura’s first opponent, 9th dan Lee Chang-seok, said, “I played baduk today and Sumire was not an easy player in terms of skill,” and encouraged him,

“I am very welcome to come to Korea, and I hope that he will grow a lot by playing with many strong players.”

Nakamura, who joined Nippon Kiwon at the age of 10 through a special selection for gifted talent in April 2019,

on the 26th Women’s Tournament in February 2023,

setting a record for the youngest title in Nippon Kiwon’s history.

However, in August of last year, Nakamura made a surprise request to transfer to the Korea Foundation as a guest engineer, drawing attention in both Korea and Japan.

Nakamura, who began his activities in earnest this month after receiving approval from the Korean Association of Fighters,

received a seed from a sponsor and joined the Sawpalcosanol Best Knight Final, in which 9 top knights participated.

Sumire Nakamura stated his goal, saying, “I hope I can get just one win in the Sawfalcosanol competition.”

On the 11th, Nakamura will play his second match in the Sawpalcosanol finals against his idol, 9th Dan Park Jeong-hwan.

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.

Oklahoma City defeated the Toronto Raptors 135-127 with 23 3-point shots in the 2023-2024 NBA regular season held at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma, USA on the 5th (Korean time).

Josh Gidey scored 24 points and Shai Gilgeous Alexander scored 23 points to help the team win. 사설 토토사이트

Oklahoma City suffered from severe shooting difficulties,

attempting 25 3-point shots in the first half and missing 18 of them.

signed a minor league contract as a pitcher with the Texas Rangers.

The Dallas Morning News, a local newspaper in Dallas, Texas, reported on the 5th (Korean time),

“Peters is returning to Texas as a pitcher, not an outfielder.” 메이저사이트 안전놀이터

Texas decided to give Peters, who throws a fastball up to 95 miles per hour (approximately 153 km), an opportunity to play in the minor league.

Major League Trade Rumors said, “Peters’ transformation into a pitcher is progressing.

He must grow technically and become familiar with game management,”

“He will learn how to use a fastball of 153 km per hour and a slider with a large angle in the minor league under Texas. “It was said.

Mbappe is confident that he can achieve anything with Madrid

Kylian Mbappe, 26, had a dream Real Madrid debut.

Real Madrid defeated Atalanta 2-0 in the European Football Association (UEFA) Super Cup at the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday (June 15).

The UEFA Super Cup pits the winner of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) from the previous season against the winner of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) in a one-off match. With this victory, Real Madrid reached the top of the UEFA Super Cup for the second time in two years, making it their sixth overall victory. This is the most in history, surpassing Barcelona and AC Milan.

Real Madrid opted for a 4-3-3 formation. Vinicius Junior-Mbappe-Hodrigo, Jude Bellingham-Aurelien Chouameni-Federico Valverde, Per Mendy-Antonio Rudiger-Eder Militant-Dani Carvajal, and Thibaut Courtois started in the back four.

Atalanta lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Ademola Lucman-Charles Duckettelaar, Mario Paszalic, Matteo Ruggeri-Marton Deron-Ederson-Davide Zappacosta, Sead Kolasinac-Isaac Hien-Berat Zimcic, Juan Musso, and Juan Musso started up front.

It was a spectacular start to the third Galactico for Mbappe, who ended a seven-year spell with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this summer and signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid as a free agent. Mbappé is finally wearing the jersey of his childhood dream club, Real Madrid.

Mbappe is now Real Madrid’s number 9. He celebrated by raising his arms in the air with president Florentino Perez at his signing ceremony last month, 파워볼실시간 and then walked around the stadium to greet the fans for the first time. The Real Madrid fans welcomed him with a rousing ovation. Zinedine Zidane was also on hand to congratulate him.

“I can’t believe I’m here,” Mbappe said in fluent Spanish. I have been dreaming for many years that I wanted to play for Real Madrid and today my dream has come true. I am so happy. First of all, I want to thank President Pérez for believing in me from day one. A lot has happened, but I want to say thank you. It was very difficult, but we won. “My family is happy, my mother is crying, it’s an unbelievable day,” he said, ”I’m finally a Real Madrid player. I will give my life for this club and this emblem,” he said in emotion.

Mbappe also paid homage to Cristiano Ronaldo’s (Al Nasr) Real Madrid debut 15 years ago.

He left the field to the cheers of a clouded crowd, chanting “One, two, three, alla Madrid!” as his idol did.

Mbappe then made his debut in the starting lineup against Atalanta. He had only been training with the team for a week after suffering a broken nose at the UEFA Euro 2024, but he was ready to go.

Mbappe fired off his first shot in a Real Madrid shirt in the 15th minute, when he was unstoppable on a low cross from Valverde. However, the ball got caught in the Atalanta defense.

Mbappe didn’t have to wait long for his debut goal, as he scored the goal of a lifetime in the 23rd minute of the second half, after the team had taken a 1-0 lead on Valverde’s strike. Bellingham crossed the ball between the defenses on the left side of the box. Despite being in a tight space, Mbappe took the pass and fired a powerful shot into the back of the net before performing his trademark ‘arms in the air’ gesture.

Having done his job,

Mbappe exited the field in the 38th minute of the second half, replaced by Brahim Dias. Real Madrid finished the match without conceding a goal and added a sixth Super Cup title to their record. Mbappe celebrated with his teammates as they lifted the trophy.

After the game, Mbappe told Movistar: “It was a great night. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. To play with this jersey, with this emblem, for these fans. It’s a gift for me.” In fluent Spanish, of course.

He added: “It’s very important to win trophies. We know that we always have to win (in Madrid). I’m very happy that I was decisive in my debut as a striker. But more importantly, it’s a pleasure to play,” he added.

Mbappe is confident that he can achieve anything with Real Madrid.

When asked about his goals, he said: “We are at Real Madrid. There are no limits for us. “If I can score 50 goals, then (the goal is) 50 goals. But the most important thing is to win and improve as a team. Because we’re going to win as a team.”

Bellingham and head coach Carlo Ancelotti were also smiling at Mbappe’s performance. Bellingham said: “Mbappe is brilliant. He’s so sharp. His technical quality is really high and he’s a great teammate. Credit to him,” he said. “Mbappe did really well, he adapted well to the team, he played well with Vissinius and Bellingham,” said Ancelotti, who added: ”Of course we have a lot of quality, but we have to play together. We did that tonight.”

A shocking relegation to the second tier is not out of the question

A shocking relegation to the second tier is not out of the question. Even the Premier League’s (PL) chief executive officer (CEO) is calling for severe punishment.

“CEO Richard Masters has spoken out against the hearing of Manchester City’s 115 charges, which could lead to relegation if found guilty,” the UK’s Sports Bible reported on Thursday.

City are looking to win a record fourth consecutive PL title and a fifth consecutive season. They signed Xavi, who was a revelation in La Liga last season, and managed to keep hold of Kevin De Bruyne, who was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. They also beat Manchester United in the Community Shield on Tuesday to lift the trophy.

But there’s a key variable. City could be relegated to the second tier, let alone the title, depending on the outcome of a hearing into 115 alleged financial rules violations prosecuted by the PL.

City were charged by the PL in February.

The PL began investigating City’s breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules in 2018 and found 115 charges. The PL secretariat’s position is that City breached the PL rules on profitability and sustainability (PSR), as well as UEFA regulations.

In December of last year, City’s hearing date was set for September 2024. The main allegations are inflated financial reporting and lack of cooperation with a PL investigation that began in 2018. Of course, City denied all the allegations and claimed to have “irrefutable evidence” to support their innocence, 사설 토토사이트 but that didn’t stop the hearing itself.

The 10-week hearing is now a month away. The UK’s Daily Mail reports, “The hearing into City’s 115 alleged breaches of PL financial rules will finally begin next month. PL could hear the outcome as early as January next year.”

City were already punished by UEFA in 2020 with a two-year ban from UEFA-organized competitions for breaching FFP rules. However, the club escaped punishment when the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned the conviction due to lack of evidence. Nevertheless, the PL is pressing charges once again.

The Masters CEO emphasized the need to tie up loose ends for the benefit of the league.

“It’s time for the case to be resolved,” he told the BBC, adding, ”This has been going on for years, and I think it’s a clear case that needs to be heard and answered.”

Masters added: “The case will be heard and a conclusion will be announced. We’ll answer all the questions they want to hear in the process,” Masters said, adding, ”It’s an important issue. (Legal disputes) create uncertainty and frustration.”

He added: “There is no alternative to enforcing the rules that everyone agreed to. They looked each other in the eye, shook hands, and said, ‘We’re going to honor these rules. So PL has to enforce them,” he said, adding, ”No matter what challenges or setbacks arise, it’s all part of protecting PL’s competitiveness and core values.”

With the CEO speaking out, it’s hard to imagine City escaping heavy penalties if found guilty. City will have to defend against 54 counts of failing to provide accurate information, 14 counts of failing to provide details of player and manager salaries, seven counts of breaching the PSR, five counts of failing to comply with UEFA regulations, and 35 counts of failing to cooperate with PL investigations since 2018.

The charges span 14 seasons, dating back to the 2009-2010 season.

There’s also the possibility of relegation, which would be a record punishment. According to the Daily Mail, “The most severe punishment is relegation. “The investigation began in 2018 when ‘Spiegel’ released the Football Leaks documents. City were accused of siphoning money from the owners through a United Arab Emirates sponsor.”

In fact, Everton and Nottingham Forest were both punished with point deductions for FFP violations last season. Everton were deducted a whopping eight points, while Nottingham lost four. City’s fate will be revealed as early as next January.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola has previously complained that everyone is looking for guilt. “We are innocent until proven guilty,” he said last December. I know people want (City to be punished). Pep can feel it. I will wait,” he said, adding: ”I will not consider my future whether City remain in the PL or Ligue 1 (the third tier). I have a better chance of staying when we are in Ligue 1 than when we are in the UEFA Champions League.”
