    Its Lee Jung-hyo, 100th K-League Match, 50th Win

    Gwangju FC Manager Lee Jung-hyo, 100th K-League Match, 50th Win

    The Gwangju FC of K League 1 announced on the 11th that coach Lee Jung-hyo achieved 100 professional soccer game management and 50 wins at the same time.

    Gwangju, led by coach Lee, won 1-0 in the away game against Ulsan HD in the 22nd round of Hana Bank K League 1 held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium the day before.

    This match was the 100th match since the manager became the head coach of a professional team.

    The manager, who took charge of a professional team for the first time as the 7th manager of Gwangju in 2022, enjoyed a double celebration by winning his 50th match in his 100th match. 카지노사이트 모음

    His winning percentage so far is 50%.

    Lee Jung-hyo’s Gwangju, which competed in the 2nd division in the 2022 season, achieved both the championship and promotion by setting new records such as the most points (86 points) and the most consecutive home wins (10 consecutive wins) in K-League 2 history.

    Coach Lee, who was recognized for his leadership by winning the K League 2 Manager of the Year award that year, led the team to its heyday by leading Gwangju to 3rd place in the 2023 K League 1 season.

    3rd place is the highest ranking in Gwangju’s history in the 1st division, and the 2023 season is also the first time that they have earned a ticket to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL).

    With Hong Myung-bo leaving Ulsan to take charge of the Korean national football team, he has become the longest-serving manager among the 12 K League 1 clubs.

    This season, Gwangju is in 7th place with 9 wins, 1 draw, and 12 losses in 22 games.

    Coincidentally, the game in which he achieved his 50th win as a professional was Hong Myung-bo’s farewell game for Ulsan.

    Coach Lee, who had said before the match against Ulsan on the 10th that he “didn’t want to be a sidekick” when an unusually large press corps of over 50 people visited the stadium, became the “main character” by continuing his 4-game winning streak against Ulsan with a 1-0 victory.

    Regarding the rare experience of winning a battle of wits with the “next national team commander,” Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, “It’s just one game out of 22 games.

    It’s the same one win,” but added, “I’m happy and touched that I was able to promote Gwangju and the players when so many press corps came.”

    Son Heung-min Discusses New Contract with Tottenham

    British Media “Son Heung-min Discusses New Contract with Tottenham… Official Negotiations this Summer”

    Football Insider reports Son Heung-min’s ‘Munich transfer rumor’, “Saudi teams are interested”

    A local report has emerged that Korean soccer star Son Heung-min is discussing a new contract behind closed doors with Tottenham (England) even as he is receiving interest from Saudi Arabia.

    British sports media Football Insider reported on the 26th (local time) that “the two sides are expected to formally negotiate a new contract this summer,”

    citing an anonymous source said to be a high-ranking Tottenham official. 토토사이트 모음

    Son Heung-min’s current contract with Tottenham runs until June 2025.

    If the contract is renewed as reported,

    Son Heung-min will wear the Tottenham uniform for a while after 2025.

    The media outlet claimed that discussions on a new contract are already taking place informally.

    He added that Son Heung-min has been receiving interest from Saudi teams recently.

    Football Insider, which has consistently reported on Son Heung-min’s future using the words of an anonymous official,

    said that Bayern Munich (Germany) is interested in recruiting Son Heung-min in 2021 and that they can wait for more than a year.

    Son Heung-min re-signed with Tottenham instead of Munich that year and agreed to stay with Tottenham until 2025.

    Football Insider recently said that Tottenham is keeping an eye on Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton),

    who plays for the national team as an attacker, and also raised the possibility of a transfer this summer.

    In addition, it was claimed that Hwang Hee-chan could move from Tottenham to Liverpool (England),

    a prestigious club with the likes of Muhammad Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Diogo Jota,

    through the upcoming summer transfer market.

    Since last year, rumors of Son Heung-min’s transfer to the Saudi team have been consistently raised through various media.

    In June last year, global sports media ESPN reported that Saudi club Al-Ittihad offered Son Heung-min a large contract that would pay 30 million euros (about 43.3 billion won) each season.

    Son Heung-min has dismissed rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia in several official appearances.

    Son Heung-min, who met with domestic reporters after the friendly match against El Salvador at Daejeon World Cup Stadium immediately after the ESPN report, said,

    “I like the Premier League, and I think there is still a lot of work left to do in the Premier League.”

    Choi Yun-gyeom Suggestion, Not Use the Current Director

    Director Choi Yun-gyeom’s Suggestion… “Let’s Not Use the Current Director as a Member of the Power Strengthening Committee”

    Coach Choi Yun-gyeom of professional soccer team K-League 2 Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province,

    proposed that the current head coach should not be included in the Korea Football Association’s national team strength strengthening committee.

    Director Choi met with reporters ahead of the ‘Hana Bank K-League 2024 Opening Media Day’ held at the Seoul Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 26th and said,

    “I think it is better not to use the club team manager as a member of the power reinforcement committee.” 에볼루션 바카라사이트

    Coach Choi said that it would be much more efficient to appoint game supervisors or the Korea Professional Football League Technical Research Group (TSG) as members instead of current coaches.

    He served as a committee member under former Power Strengthening Committee Chairman Michael Mueller.

    The Strengthening Committee, including Coach Choi,

    came together at the end of a meeting on the 15th and requested the Association to replace former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

    Coach Choi explained that it is difficult for the current coach to focus on the committee that supports the national team because he is responsible for the club team’s performance.

    He said that rather than a coach, a leader from the professional soccer league TSG,

    who examines the K-League extensively and writes technical reports himself,

    will contribute more to strengthening the national team.

    In particular, it was believed that TSG personnel would be of great help in power analysis if a foreign leader,

    like former Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, was appointed who was evaluated as not carefully examining K-League resources.

    Coach Choi Yun-gyeom confessed,

    “In fact, I am also a sinner in some respects when it comes to the national team and the Power Strengthening Committee.

    That is why I have not been able to open my mouth easily until now.”

    The Strength Enhancement Committee is an organization that is involved in the overall management of national teams at each level,

    including the appointment, dismissal, and renewal of leaders for the men’s and women’s national teams and national teams for each age group 18 years or older.

    Director Choi and other members, including former Chairman Müller,

    left the Power Strengthening Committee with the dismissal of former Manager Klinsmann.

    This is because the Football Association appointed Jeong Hae-seong,

    chairman of the competition committee, as the new chairman of the power strengthening committee, and also replaced all members.

    Gimpo FC coach Go Jeong-woon, Soongsil University coach Park Seong-bae,

    commentator Park Joo-ho, former Gwangju FC head coach Song Myeong-won, Yoon Deok-yeo,

    Sejong Sports Toto coach, Gangwon FC coach Yoon Jeong-hwan,

    Mungyeong Sangmu coach Lee Mi-yeon, QMIT CEO Lee Sang-ki, Lee Young-jin, former Vietnam national team coach, Jeon Gyeong-jun, professional The head of the technical committee of the Football Federation was appointed as a new member.

    Return to the World Cup After 4 Years’ North Korean Soccer

    Return to the World Cup After 4 Years’ North Korean Soccer, First Round of Qualifiers Played in a Third Country Instead of at Home

    FIFA website, North Korea-Syria World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round held in Saudi Arabia

    It is understood that the North Korean men’s national team,

    which is returning to the FIFA World Cup stage for the first time in four years,

    will not immediately play a home game in the second qualifying round in the Asian region. 파워볼실시간

    World Cup

    According to the FIFA website on the 2nd, the first match of the North and Central America World Cup Asian region second qualifying round match between North Korea and Syria,

    scheduled for 2 a.m. on the 17th, Korean time, will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a third country.

    Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium, the home stadium of Saudi professional soccer team Al-Ittihad,

    was assigned as the stadium.

    Through this game, North Korea’s national team A will return to the World Cup stage for the first time in about four years since November 2019.

    At the time, North Korea participated in the second Asian qualifying round to advance to the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals and played against South Korea,

    but withdrew due to the 2020 novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

    In this preliminary round, the opposing country must also play a visiting game,

    so it was of interest whether North Korea, which closed its borders due to COVID-19,

    would accept foreign teams.

    In particular, as the team in Pot 3 of each group played its home game against the team in Pot 2,

    attention was focused on the location of North Korea’s first match.

    North Korean National Team

    According to the way the tournament was conducted, North Korea, a 3-pot team,

    was supposed to play a home match against Syria, a 2-port team,

    in Group B with Japan and Myanmar, but according to FIFA’s notice,

    it appears that the game was not opened this time.

    Except for Group B, the first game of all groups will be played at the home of the 3-pot team.

    It is assumed that the first round will be held in Saudi Arabia, a third country,

    as the game cannot be held in Syria, which is suffering from the devastation of the civil war.

    After finishing the match against Syria, the North Korean men’s soccer team will play an away match against Myanmar in the second round of the preliminary round at Tuunna Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar, on the 21st.

    North Korean men’s soccer, which had disappeared from the international stage for a while,

    reappeared through the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held in September and October.

    This is his return to the international stage after about 3 years and 8 months since the AFC Under-23 Championship in January 2020.

    The North Korean national team, led by coach Shin Yong-nam,

    lost 1-2 to Japan in the quarterfinals held at the Xiaoshan Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 1st of last month and was eliminated.
