    “I grew up in a tough overseas experience, but it helped me grow”

    Jung Sang-bin, who is expected to be a key striker for Hwang Sun-hong, 스포츠토토 reflected on the difficult moments after going overseas, but vowed to use the experience to become a better player.

    The South Korean U-22 national team, including Sang-bin, held their final training session on Friday at 7:50 p.m. at the Changwon Football Center Auxiliary Stadium to prepare for their U-23 Asian Cup Regional Qualifier Group B Round 1 match against Qatar at 8 p.m. on Saturday.

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve been with the national team,” said Jung Sang-bin, who joined Hwang Sun-hong after returning from the U.S. on April 4. “I think it’s a very important tournament as it starts the qualification for the Paris Olympics. I will try to start as a team with all the players,” said Hwang Sun-hong Ho.

    After being hailed as a “super rookie” at Suwon Samsung, the Korean athlete has had a bit of a rough patch since his overseas adventure, but he was candid in his reflections on his experiences so far.

    “As everyone knows, after I left Suwon, everything was very difficult,” he said. “I didn’t play much in Switzerland, and there were some injuries, but when I moved to the United States this year, I met good people, got opportunities, and things changed,” he told fans.

    “I have a lot of experiences. I feel a lot from watching the players on the pitch and my brothers on the national team, but it’s really hard to live abroad. It’s hard to live alone and communicate in the language, but I’ve been able to grow a lot because of it,” he said.

    Minnesota United’s Jung Sang-bin is very happy with the MLS in the U.S., where he plays. “I think the MLS is a huge market, not because Lionel Messi is here. Messi’s arrival is a big plus, but I really like the MLS itself, so it wasn’t a big decision.”

    At the start line of the long road to the Paris Olympics, he expressed his desire to play on the “dream stage” of the Olympics.

    “I watched my brothers compete in the Olympics. It’s not an easy competition,” he said, “but it’s a ‘dream stage’ for all athletes. I’m trying very hard to reach that stage as well,” he said.

    “Coach Hwang emphasizes that I play more aggressively. He’s emphasizing more aggressive moves and off-the-ball aspects. I’m trying to work on that,” he said, showing his commitment to becoming a player who fits in with the team.

    ‘Liverpool legend’ Henderson on Saudi trip: “I didn’t go for the money”

    Liverpool legend Jordan Henderson says his move to Saudi Arabia wasn’t about money.

    Playing for Liverpool since 2011, 카지노사이트 Jordan Henderson has been one of the club’s most loyal players. He helped the Reds win the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in 2018-19 and the Premier League (PL) in 2019-20. Last season, he made 42 appearances and 23 starts. Although he was criticized for a slight dip in form, his presence at Liverpool was still strong.

    It was during this time that he was linked with Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittifaq. At the time, Al Ittifaq reportedly offered nearly four times Henderson’s salary, with a two-year contract with an option for a one-year extension.

    Henderson was not initially in favor of going to Saudi Arabia. The Liverpool captain had two years left on his contract, and given his club career and position in the England national team, he was worried about heading to the Middle Eastern country. But the offer from a team backed by Saudi Arabia’s oil money was enough to sway him.

    On July 27, Henderson headed to Saudi Arabia for a three-year contract that will reportedly pay him £700,000 a week. The decision came as a shock to many fans, as he had been with Liverpool for a long time.

    Henderson’s past public statements in support of LGBTQ people were also a factor. The Premier League has been very vocal about human rights issues both on and off the field. However, Saudi Arabia is a conservative country that strongly criminalizes homosexuality, with the death penalty being the most severe punishment.

    Henderson spoke out about his decision to travel to Saudi Arabia. British media outlet The Athletic published an interview with Henderson on May 5 (KST). Henderson told the publication, “People think it’s about money, but money has never been a factor in my life and career. Please don’t get me wrong,” Henderson said, adding that he didn’t make the move for money.

    Henderson also said, “I’m not saying this for people to understand. I’ve talked to a lot of different people I trust about this. I know there will be a lot of criticism and negativity around, but it’s hard for me to accept.”

    The offer came from Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. Gerrard, who spent 17 years at Liverpool as a player, took over at Al Ittifaq in July as the first England manager in Saudi Arabia. Henderson has been dubbed the “second Gerrard” because of the similarities between his longtime Liverpool career and his captaincy.

    Gerrard expressed his desire to reunite with Henderson at the time. Henderson said: “I didn’t talk to Gerrard about money. All I discussed with him was football. In fact, he said he didn’t want to talk about money. All we talked about was achieving what we can, leading the club and what we can do together for the league,” he said, drawing a line under money.

    Recently, a number of European stars have followed the oil money to the Middle East. Jordan Henderson’s club, Al Ittifaq, has hosted Mousa Dembele and Giorginio Wijnaldum. Al Ittifaq is currently in fifth place in the Saudi Professional League with three wins, one draw, and one loss.

    “My strengths are defensive cover, one-on-one, and making the first move,” says Olympic ‘captain’ Cho Sung-kwon

    The captain of the Olympic team is Cho Sung-kwon (Gimpo FC).

    Cho Sung-kwon is the captain of the Olympic team led by Hwang Sun-hong. 텍사스홀덤 The Olympic team has been training in Changwon since the 28th of last month. Twenty-six players were selected for the initial call-up, with three (Hwang Jae-hwan, Park Chang-hwan, and Kim Joo-chan) packing their bags today. The 23-man squad will compete in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers starting on June 6. The Olympic team will face Qatar in their first group game on June 6.

    Speaking to reporters on Friday, a day before the match, Cho Sung-kwon said, “It’s an honor to train with the best players in the K League for two weeks. We are preparing for the Olympic stage, and we will make a good first step.” Furthermore, Hwang appointed Cho Sung-kwon as the captain.

    “He didn’t ask me to put a lot of pressure on myself. He wants a one-man team. I’m going to share, think, and practice his tactics.” “I don’t know why I became captain because he didn’t tell me in detail, but I think it’s because he believes in me. At first, my teammates made fun of me, but now they believe in me,” he smiled.

    Born in 2001, Cho Sung-kwon has been on loan at Gimpo this season. His original team is Gwangju FC. He has played 26 games for Gimpo this season as a core defender. He is one of the defenders who has been instrumental in Gimpo conceding the fewest goals in the K League 2 this season (20).

    “I think my strengths are my ability to cover and not lose one-on-one,” says Cho Sung-kwon. At the beginning of the season, I struggled to adapt to the tempo, but now I have, and as I play more, I feel my confidence building and my game sense improving. Coach Kim Jeong-woon told the team to keep doing what they were doing. I will do it with confidence.”

    U-23 Asian Cup qualifying captain Cho Sung-kwon “looking forward to making a good start with the first team”

    As the U-22 national soccer team prepares for its first gateway to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, 온라인카지노 captain Cho Sung-kwon Gimpo says coach Hwang Sun-hong is emphasizing “one team,” and the team is determined to achieve its goals as one.

    “It’s a great honor to train and play with players who represent the K League,” he told reporters at the team’s training session at the Changwon Football Center on Friday. “As this is our first competition in preparation for the Olympics, we worked hard with the players to make a good start.”

    The U-22s, led by Hwang Sun-hong, will begin their campaign against Qatar on Saturday in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 2024 U-23 Asian Cup Qualifier, which is the first qualifier for the Paris Olympics. The team will then compete in next year’s U-23 Asian Cup, the final Asian qualifier for the Paris Olympics.

    For the tournament, which is the first step toward the Paris Olympics, Hwang entrusted the captaincy to Cho Sung-kwon, whom he has been watching since last year.

    “Actually, I don’t know why he entrusted me with the captaincy, but I think he trusted me,” said Cho Sung-kwon, who smiled wryly. “He doesn’t put a lot of pressure on me, but he asks for a ‘one team’, so I’m trying to share tactics and practice with the players.”

    Jo Sung-kwon, who joined Gwangju FC last year after graduating from Kumho High and Ulsan National University, did not make his K League debut in Gwangju, but was loaned to K League 2 Gimpo FC this year and has been playing as a main defender.

    “I think the most difficult thing to adjust to in the pros was the tempo. It was hard to keep up in the first few games, but now I’ve gotten used to it,” he said, adding, “I’m definitely gaining more confidence and feeling as I play.”

    “I’m confident in my defensive coverage, interceptions, and one-on-one skills,” he said, adding that he hopes to showcase them when he competes at the Paris Olympics.
