“Lee Seung-woo, Park Ji-sung, and Koo Ja-cheol are on the line-up of the spectacular World Cup broadcasting team!”

[Official] The 2022 Qatar World Cup terrestrial broadcaster has been confirmed

With less than a month left before the 2022 Qatar World Cup, broadcasters from three terrestrial broadcasters, KBS, MBC and SBS, who will be with domestic soccer fans, have been confirmed. The lineup is really spectacular enough to be said to be the best. Along with former national team players such as Park Ji-sung, Ahn Jung-hwan, Cho Won-hee, and Koo Ja-cheol, familiar commentators and casters such as Bae Sung-jae, Park Moon-sung, Jang Ji-hyun, Kim Sung-joo and Han Joon-hee joined, and “Korean Messi” Lee Seung-woo, who plays for Suwon FC, will support and shoot.

In addition, the cast of Eastar TV, a popular soccer YouTube channel with 600,000 subscribers with a large soccer fan base, and Jung Yi-soo of Lee Soo-nal Channel, a 200,000-subscriber, will be deployed as influencers. Then, how is the lineup of broadcasters organized for each terrestrial broadcaster? I’d like to introduce the main characters from now on!

KBS

In KBS, “Symbol No. 7” Koo Ja-cheol and “Joskas” Cho Won-hee will be two-top, while Kwangyong Lee, Nam Hyun-jong, Lee Jae-hoo, and commentators Han Joon-hee, Park Chan-ha, Lim Hyung-chul and Hwang Deok-yeon will be waiting for their appearance. Eastar TV casts such as Lee Joo-heon, Park Jong-yoon, and Kim Soo-bin will remain in Qatar, and the remaining members will remain in the studio to broadcast.

Noteworthy points are what kind of performance Koo Ja-cheol, who is newly challenging to commentary, will show and high-quality commentators who can often be seen in overseas soccer broadcasts such as EPL, La Liga, and Serie A. The performances of SPOTV broadcasters, including veteran Han Joon-hee, who has fun, expertise, and reactions, and Lim Hyung-chul, who is in charge of commentary on honey voices based on young blood, are also expected.

MBC

Announcers Kim Na-jin, Park Moon-sung, Seo Hyung-wook, and Park Chan-woo will appear on MBC, led by Ahn Jung-hwan and Kim Sung-joo, who are active in entertainment.

Viewers are waiting for a commentary with the experience and depth of Park Moon-sung, Seo Hyung-wook and Park Chan-woo, who have been working together for a long time since the World Cup in Brazil, and the cast of Dalsune Live, Polly TV, and Eastar TV, respectively.

SBS

In SBS, “Korean Messi” Lee Seung-woo, along with “Haefather” Park Ji-sung and “Bagerson” Bae Sung-jae, will take the lead, followed by Lee Jae-hyung, Lee In-kwon, Kim Yoon-sang, caster, Jang Ji-hyun, Hyun Young-min, Kim Dong-wan, and Lee Hwang-jae.

The most noticeable part is Lee Seung-woo’s joining. Lee Seung-woo, who showed outstanding performance in the K-League this season as a member of Suwon FC, joined the national team and confirmed his trip to the World Cup as a commentator, not as a player.

Lee Seung-woo said in an interview, “Even if I am not a player, I want to go to Qatar and support my favorite brothers and sisters as Korean fans. I want to make a commentary that makes me feel like I can watch soccer like a soccer player. “I’m old enough to fit in well with the MZ generation, and I’m confident that I’ll make it the most fun,” he said.

[22-23 EPL Round 14] Tottenham beat Bournemouth 3-2 with a dramatic come-from-behind goal

Manchester United, the defeat against Newcastle, the cancellation of the theatrical goal against Sporting, Tottenham, which had no choice but to have a dark atmosphere, and above all, the two consecutive league titles were weighing on their shoulders.

In the match against Bournemouth, which was considered a somewhat weak team, Tottenham was expected to win three consecutive league titles as it began to give Bournemouth the lead early in the game.

However, Tottenham won 3-2 with a dramatic score, but their victory was not satisfactory when looking at the game.

Bournemouth’s starting lineup and formation were 3-5-2 and the squad was as follows.

  • GK – Mark Travers
  • DF – Adam Smith, Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi
  • MF – Marcus Tavernier, Lewis Cook, Philip Billing, Jefferson Lerma, Jordan Zemura
  • FW – Dominic Solanke, Kieffer Moore

Tottenham’s starting lineup and formation were 3-5-2, not Bentancourt, but coach Conte, who started Skipp and Bissouma.

  • GK – Hugo Lloris
  • DF – Davinson Sanchez, Clement Lenglet, Ben Davies
  • MF – Emerson Royal, Oliver Skipp, Yves Bissouma, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Ryan Sessegnon
  • FW – Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son

Tavernier tries to shoot from the right in the fourth minute of the game, but Hugo Lloris catches the ball and Emerson Royal tries to head Kane’s cross in the 11th minute, but it is off the net.

In the 17th minute, Ben Davis attempted a mid-range shot, but it was Bournemouth, who missed the post and scored the first goal in the 22nd minute with Tabernier’s cross from the right.

Moore tries to shoot again in the 25th minute, but is blocked by Emerson and Dominic Solanke falls in the 27th minute and loses the timing of the shot.

Kane tries to shoot from the right in the 36th minute, but Mark Travers interrupts and Heung-Min Son’s cross and Senesi head off from the right side in the 36th minute, but his own goal was almost recorded as he hit the post.

Kane’s central pass from the right in the 37th minute, blocked by defenders, Skipp’s cross and defenders from the right side in the 47th minute, and Heung-Min Son tries to shoot from the middle distance in the 48th minute, but Mark Travers blocked it and the first half ends.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Ben Davies attempted a mid-range shot, but it was Kieffer Moore, who scored multiple goals as Adam Smith’s cross from the right side scored with a header from the 49th minute.

The score is 2-0 with Bournemouth taking the perfect lead, and Hojbjerg tries to shoot in the 51st minute but is off the net.

Sessegnon, who received Hojbjerg’s forward pass in the 57th minute, scored a shot and it was Tottenham who started the chase.

In the 58th minute, Tottenham put in Eric Dyer and Rodrigo Bentancourt, and in the 68th minute, Heung-Min Son tries to cross from the left, but Mark Travers clears it.

Heung-Min Son’s cross and Kane try to head with Tottenham’s free-kick kicker in the 70th minute, but Emerson Royal’s cross and Kane try to head from the right side in the 71st minute, but they leave the net.

In the 73rd minute, Tottenham’s corner kick cross followed by Ben Davies’ header, making the score 2-2.

Heung-Min Son, who received Dyer’s pass from the right in the 77th minute, tries to shoot, but Mark Travers interrupts and Moura tries to penetrate in the 81st minute, but a free kick is declared as he falls over the opponent’s tackle.

Heung-Min Son tries to shoot with Tottenham’s free-kick kicker in the 83rd minute, but he is blocked by the defensive wall and Bentancourt’s cross in the 84th minute, but is blocked by defenders.

In the 89th minute, Clement Lenglet attempted a mid-range shot, but in the 92nd minute, Peri시’s cross from the left, the defender cleared, Tottenham’s corner kick cross, and Bentancourt pushed in the 92nd minute to score a come-from-behind goal.

At the end of the game, Tottenham scored a dramatic come-from-behind victory of 3-2.

Tottenham’s thrilling come-from-behind victory

Tottenham won a come-from-behind victory, but Conte’s expression could not be said to be just happy. Conte did not show a ceremony when the theater goal was scored and was seen heading to the tunnel for a while with an indifferent expression.

The reason is that Kane’s score was canceled due to VAR just before the match in Sporting and Champions League, so I calmly waited for the result because I thought this theater goal might also be canceled.

Tottenham scored three points as a result, but they were not satisfied with the contents of this time. Bournemouth’s strong pressure and an edge through the side showed a perfect lead with a score of 2-0.

There was still anxiety about defense, and to replace it, Tottenham players tapped Bournemouth’s goal with a mid-range shot, but it was not intimidating, and it was thought that they scored one and two goals in this way and scored a dramatic goal in a corner.

It was a game that could have ended in a 2-2 draw, but I wanted to say that Tottenham was lucky, and it was thought that Tottenham’s attack and counterattack would face limitations without more diverse and flexible offensive tactics.

Records

In the match, Bournemouth had four effective shots out of six, while Tottenham had seven effective shots out of 23.

Tottenham had an overwhelming advantage in terms of possession and pass, and Tottenham took two yellow cards. Bentancourt, who was substituted for MOM in the game and scored a theatrical goal, was selected, and Heung-Min Son and Kane scored seven points.

Skipp and Bissouma, who played in midfield, scored poorly, followed by Sanchez and Hugo Lloris, while Bournemouth would all score poorly except for Kieffer Moore’s 8.6.

Tottenham had the upper hand in every aspect, but they were behind Bournemouth in defensive ability. Bournemouth had the upper hand in taking the ball and blocking it, and Tottenham had to resolve its defense as soon as possible.

Lee Kang-in, who is growing, is likely to transfer in the winter transfer market?!

From his debut in Valencia to last season, there were many transfer rumors for Lee Kang-in. Various clubs, including Sampdoria, Manchester City, and Ajax, tried to recruit him, but all of them had collapsed due to failure to the club.

Lee Kang-in, who thought he would continue to remain in Mallorca, but as he recently showed off his rising skills, the way other clubs look at him began to change.

Spanish media reported that Lee Kang-in is attracting attention from various clubs, including EPL and La Liga, and recently, more and more clubs are interested in Lee Kang-in’s performance.

Here, before the start of this season, it was reported that Feyenoord of the Netherlands strongly wanted to recruit Lee Kang-in in the summer transfer market, and it was reported that it was canceled due to Mallorca’s opposition at the time.

At that time, the transfer could have been canceled due to questions about Lee Kang-in, but many media expected that Mallorca would not easily reject Lee Kang-in’s offer in the transfer market this winter.

First of all, the contract period between Lee Kang-in and Mallorca was until June 2025, and there was a three-year contract left. If other clubs offered to recruit Lee Kang-in, they were more likely to offer a higher transfer fee than before, and Lee Kang-in was also likely to accept the club’s proposal with a higher status than Mallorca.

Currently, Lee Kang-in has been showing signs of overcoming various unfavorable conditions as he plays more and more games, which can be said to be a season that shows that he is growing.

It was becoming a 22-23 season that showed Lee Kang-in’s potential more than ever, and other clubs could say that it is a good time to recruit him.

Spanish media cited Lee Kang-in as a reason for his multiplayer ability, saying, “Lee Kang-in will adapt well to any team.”

He thought he would be a necessary player for many clubs if he could play on the left and right sides, could also poke a kill pass well in the midfield, and excluded defensive skills.

With the evaluation of Lee Kang-in better than ever, many soccer fans were interested in Lee Kang-in’s transfer rumor. When Lee Kang-in left Valencia, he did not want to leave Spain as he grew up in Spain as a child, and it was thought that the next club would be a La Liga club.

If he advanced to another league, he had to wait and see what choice he would make in terms of facing linguistic difficulties.

Europa League: Three must-see matches in the final second round

The Europa League group stage is slowly ending, and there is still a lot to do with the final second game left.

However, Arsenal, the favorite to win the tournament, is almost certain to be No. 1 in Group A, but if they face PSV again, they can officially confirm their advance to the round of 16.

In the other group, Real Betis is trying to hold on to the lead in Group C against Ludogorets, and Group F, where all four teams have five points, will be the most fiercely competitive group.

Let’s take a look at the three most exciting matches that has picked in the second round in the Europa League group stage.

PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal

Arsenal are a clear Group A lead. They have won all four games so far and are five points apart from the closest chasing PSV.

Arsenal completely overwhelmed their first showdown with PSV at the Emirates last week. Arsenal had an overwhelming 25-4 advantage in shooting, but their only goal was Granit Xhaka’s goal in the 70th minute.

PSV suffered a shock 4-2 loss to FC Hroningen over the weekend, but they will regain momentum at Phillips Arena and try to stop Glimt from moving up to second place.

PSV are scoring an awful lot this season, and they have scored 15 goals in their last three games. They also won a 5–0 victory over FC Zurich in their recent Europa League home game.

Lazio vs FC Mitwillan

Lazio’s Shiro Immoville is coming out of the stadium with an injury.

Lazio has been playing well in Serie A, having won five league games in the last six games and finishing third, but has been struggling in the Europa League.

Lazio is in extremely intense competition in Group F, with all five teams in the group scoring five points during the fourth round.

Europa League 2022 dividend still expects the Italian team to advance to the tournament, and if they beat Mitwillan at Stadio Olimpico, they will be close to advancing to the round of 16.

The Danish team made one of the biggest turns in the Europa League when they defeated Maurizio Sarri’s team 5-1 in a previous showdown.

Lazio will still play without captain and star striker Ciro Immobil, but he still has enough ability to make many Europa League 2022 highlights.

Sturm Graz vs Feyenoord

As for the revenge match, Sturm Graz will try to make some progress against Feyenoord in other matches in Group F.

Sturm Graz suffered a 6-0 defeat to Feyenoord in his first showdown of the season, but recovered fairly well, winning two points in two matches against Lazio, which is likely to pass the group stage.

Feyenoord has been the most exciting team in the Europa League so far. They scored more than four goals in four group matches and scored six goals twice.

And with both teams competing for the top spot in the group, they will go all out to win another game that could score a lot.

[22-23 Champions League Group D] Barcelona to Europa lost 3-0 to Bayern Munich

Barcelona, which had hoped to beat Bayern Munich, had high expectations for Lewandowski’s performance, but the result was a 3-0 defeat.

In the end, Barcelona had to spend the season wearing a Europa League badge instead of a Champions badge.

Lewandowski was unable to play against his old team and Bayern Munich won an easy victory thanks to Gnabry’s strong performance.

Barcelona’s starting lineup and formation were 4-3-3, and Lewandowski was expected to play well.

  • GK – Marc-Andre ter Stegen
  • DF – Alejandro Balde, Marcos Alonso, Jules Kounde, Hector Bellerin
  • MF – Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Franck Kessie
  • FW – Pedri, Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele

Bayern Munich’s starting lineup and formation were 4–2–3–1 in front-line formations.

  • GK – Sven Ulreich
  • DF – Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano, Noussair Mazraoui, Alphonso Davies
  • MF – Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich
  • MF – Sadio Mane, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry
  • FW – Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting

In the 10th minute of the game, Gnabry’s forward pass and Mane, who received the ball, succeeded in scoring using a solo chance, and Gnabry’s pass and Choupo-Moting from the right side attempted to shoot but were off the net.

In the 26th minute, Dembele came up from the right and tried to pass, but Choupo-Moting, who was blocked by Mazraoui and received a pass from Gnabry from the right in the 31st minute, scored lightly and the score was 2-0.

In the 41st minute, Dembele beat Alphonso Davies to cross Balde in the 42nd minute, but no one gets it.

In the 44th minute, Dembele’s forward pass, Lewandowski tries to penetrate, but is pushed down by Matthijs de Ligt and the referee declares a penalty kick and a yellow card.

After reading the VAR, the referee determines that Lewandowski was first confronted by Matthijs de Ligt and invalidates the previous judgment.

At the end of the first half, Dembele’s solo chance in the 52nd minute, but it was canceled due to a ball touch, and Balde, Pedri’s pass, and Busquets try to shoot in the 52nd minute but cross the net.

Kimmich’s front cross, Gnabry, received the ball in the 55th minute and scored, but it was invalidated offside, and Lewandowski attempted to shoot in the 58th minute, but was blocked by defenders.

In the 70th minute, Fati tries to shoot from the left, but it goes off the net, and Bellerin’s cross and Raphinha touch the ball in the 74th minute, but it goes off the net.

Gnabry tries to shoot from the right in the 80th minute, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen catches the ball and Raphinha tries to shoot from the right in the 81st minute, but Sven Ulreich interferes.

Barcelona replaced Robert Lewandowski and Pablo Torre in the 82nd minute, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen ‘s pass miss and Frenkie de Jong took the ball with a tackle in the 83rd minute to avoid a crisis.

In the 94th minute, Ryan Gravenberch’s central pass, followed by Mane, tries to shoot, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen interrupts, and Gnabry’s volley shot in the 95th minute is crossed and Benjamin Pavard succeeds in scoring.

The match ended 3–0 and Barcelona qualified for the Europa League.

Barcelona is going to Europa again

Eventually, the situation that I was worried about happened. Barcelona’s chances of advancing to the round of 16 were lowered due to a 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the fourth game, and their chances were little in that the opponent in the fifth game was Bayern Munich.

In the end, Barcelona suffered a 3-0 defeat in Game 5, and despite heavy spending and recruitment in the transfer market, they ended up with a poor performance in the Europa League against Europe.

With more words expected to come out if Barcelona fails to reach the finals in the Europa League, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus are also expected to head to the Europa League, and the current Europa League competition with Arsenal and Manchester United is expected to heat up.

Roberto Lewandowski, who faces his old team, has shown himself helplessness in this match and they seemed to know perfectly how to stop their once-mate Lewandowski.

Only Dembele could see Barcelona’s hopes in the match, and Bayern Munich won the game with a clean play.

Record

In this match, Barcelona recorded only 0 valid shots out of 9 shots, and Bayern Munich recorded 8 valid shots out of 14.

With Barcelona dominating the game, the number of fouls was declared 27, with Barcelona receiving one yellow card and Bayern Munich receiving three yellow cards.

The POTM was named Matthijs de Ligt, with a best rating of 9.4 points for Serge Gnabry, who scored three assists.

Barcelona had a poor rating of five to six points, especially Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who scored as a substitute for Lewandowski.

Serie A: Spaletti has something to do with Mourinho

AS Roma vs Napoli

With Italy’s best team in the first division ambitious to advance to the semifinals, a notable Serie A match between AS Roma and Naples will be held at Stadio Olympico on Sunday.

Napoli, who are in the lead with 26 points, are four points behind them, and at this point, they will further solidify their goal of winning by scapegoating away team AS Roma, who is in fourth place.

Luciano Spaletti is also taking this opportunity to win his first victory over Jose Mourinho. However, the ‘Special One’ is focused on gaining a clear advantage.

Issues

Dybala is still missing, but AS Roma has other weapons

Paulo Dybala’s return to AS Roma did not last long as he was being treated again. The Argentine centre-forward scored against Inter Milan, Real Betis and Lecce but is expected to miss weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.

The 28-year-old is Rome’s most scoring player with seven goals and two assists, which is why he will be missed. At the same time, he is fighting against time with the World Cup 2022 just around the corner.

With Dybala out, Jose Mourinho is looking forward to re-creating the Serie A 2022 highlight with Tammy Abraham failing to score for more than a month. The former Chelsea winger will be on the offensive alongside Andrea Bellotti and Lorenzo Feiégrini, who scored the winning goal against Sampdoria on Tuesday.

Nicolo Zaniolo is one of the players to watch as he has yet to score this season. So far, his season has been ups and downs, but Mourinho remains confident despite his struggles.

He is expected to be suspended after receiving a red card in a Europa League match against Real Betis, and the team will protest the decision. And Mourinho will put him in more Serie A games to recover his form.

Chris Smalling’s score, on the other hand, was a pleasant development for AS Roma considering he was a center back. Having played for Manchester United, he has scored two goals in his last three league matches.

Napoli’s victory continues

Following the recruitment of Lorenzo Insigne, Kalidou Koulibaly and Fabian Ruiz, Napoli became a completely different team. Coach Luciano Spaletti’s emphasis on the power of numbers is paying off in Naples.

Napoli have scored 15 players from 25 goals to date. It is the largest number of teams in Europe’s top five leagues.

Young players like Hvicha Kbaratsuhelia, Giacomo Las Padori, Viktor Osimen and Giovanni Simeone have scored at least four goals each. Veteran Fiotr Zielinski, Matteo Politano and Andre Frank Zambo Angusa also played steady in Naples. Angwisa, who moved permanently this summer, is said to be signing a new contract with the team because he was one of the most influential players.

Record

Last season, Napoli and AS Roma shared points in two league matches, and only two goals were scored in this process. The two teams have not had three consecutive draws since 1995.

AS Roma has never won 12 Serie A home games (7 draws and 5 losses) against the semifinal team for the first time in the season since May 2019 (2-0 victory over Juventus), led by head coach Claudio Ranieri.

But this weekend they won their first four straight games under Jose Mourinho. Previously, the last time such an achievement was in August 2020, led by head coach Paulo Fonseca.

Napoli have won 10 consecutive games in all competitions. The better record was 11 consecutive wins from April to September 1986, led by coach Otavio Bianki.

Ronaldo, who has become a hotshot at Manchester United, wants Chelsea to recruit with drooling

Ronaldo’s presence, whether he played or not, was becoming a big issue for Manchester United. Recently, Ronaldo was receiving a lot of criticism toward the locker room just before the end of the match against Tottenham, and coach Eric Ten Hagh chose to exclude him from the list of matches against Chelsea, saying he would organize the work against Ronaldo the next day.

Amid the worsening relationship between Ronaldo and Eric Ten Hach, Eric Ten Hach, who did not want the striker to leave before the transfer market ended, and the current coach Ten Hach was so different.

Without Ronaldo, they thought they would have a big problem with their scoring ability, but Manchester United was also performing well with their current power, and news was pouring that Ronaldo would eventually leave the team.

With all the once-famous legends calling for Ronaldo’s transfer, Ronaldo, who wanted to move to a club with a Champions ticket, seemed to eventually break his stubbornness.

Rumors of a transfer to the U.S. MLS, not to Europe, have been reported, and rumors of Manchester United’s termination of contract and lease have been mentioned.

While Ronaldo’s transfer could take place as early as the winter transfer market, British media say Chelsea has begun to seek Ronaldo again, and Ronaldo will have a chance to achieve his goal at a club with a Champions ticket.

Chelsea’s new owner, Todd Boelli (Tod Boli), has long wanted to recruit Ronaldo, but then manager Thomas Tuchel did not want Ronaldo to join.

In the end, Chelsea chose to recruit Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang instead of Ronaldo, but Tuchel was replaced. There was also a conflict over the pros and cons of Ronaldo’s replacement, and Todd Boelli, who left Tuell, wanted to join Ronaldo in the Porter division.

Coach Graham Potter is also not interpreting Ronaldo’s existence negatively than Tuchel, so Ronaldo is more likely to join, and Ronaldo is putting weight on Ronaldo’s transfer to Chelsea, saying he will even pay a weekly cut to transfer.

There were already many comments about which player would take over Ronaldo’s back number 7, and it was said that Jayden Sancho is likely to change to number 7, not number 25.

It was so different from the situation just a few months ago that Eric Ten-Hagh was thought to understand Ronaldo’s move, and United were likely to leave him for a fee in the transfer window, not the termination.

Tottenham to lose cattle, fix barn, regret late

Tottenham, who didn’t recognize the pearl in the mud and passed by, now hits the ground and regrets it, but the bus doesn’t wait and runs toward a higher place. Today’s story is about Kim Min-jae. While I was wondering, I missed the opportunity.

Tottenham Hotspur hit the ground with regret. This is because he missed Kim Min-jae (26, Napoli), who is playing his best. According to a report by Britain’s 90 MIN on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), the Tottenham team internally acknowledges its mistake and regrets not recruiting Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae was also connected to Tottenham when he was in Beijing Guoan in the Chinese League. In addition, Son Heung-min (30), who plays with the Korean national soccer team, is known to have actively recommended recruitment at the time.

However, the transfer was not made, only rumors were rampant. According to reports, Tottenham did not intend to spend more than 10 million pounds (about 16 billion won) on Kim Min-jae’s recruitment despite Son Heung-min’s recommendation, and Kim Min-jae’s next destination became Turkye Fenerbahce. Kim Min-jae, who also showed outstanding performance in Fenerbahce, moved to Naples, Italy, last summer. Kim Min-jae is also flying in Naples. Beyond the team ace, he is considered the league’s best defender.

He has played nine league games this season, showing off his solid defense, and has also scored two goals as a header. Thanks to this, Napoli are unbeaten with eight wins and two draws (26 points). He became the top player in the league and challenged to the top for the first time in a long time since 1990, the last time he won.

Kim Min-jae also continued his good performance in four European Champions League matches in “War of Stars.” Napoli were tied up with strong teams in each league, including Liverpool (England), Ajax (the Netherlands), and Rangers (Scotland), but they were overwhelmed by winning all four games (12 points). For Tottenham, who knew Kim Min-jae’s existence first, it was a stomachache. In addition, his former team Fenerbahce earned 18 million euros (about 25 billion won) from Kim Min-jae’s transfer fee.

It is a clear mistake of Tottenham, which was reluctant to spend a lot of money on recruiting Kim Min-jae. Joe Roden, who Tottenham recruited instead of Kim Min-jae two years ago, has been pushed back from the main competition and moved on loan to Stadren in the French league. At least, the newly recruited Argentine defender Christian Romero is comforting with his special performance.

Premier League: Newcastle face dispirited Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United

Tottenham need to come to their senses quickly as they return home to play Newcastle United in their third Premier League game in a week.

Tottenham have missed a chance to close the gap with leading Arsenal in the rankings, and now they face Newcastle, who have been unbeaten in their last five games.

However, Antonio Conte’s players are still doing well overall, tied for second-place Manchester City with 23 points. On the other hand, visiting Newcastle are sixth with 18 points and are looking to return to the European tournament.

Looking forward to another exciting match, SBOTOP will look at what can be expected from this showdown.

Issue

Tottenham Hotspur must fight back

After losing to Manchester United, manager Antonio Conte admitted that despite his good ranking, his team should not be considered a Premier League championship contender.

They fell victim to Manchester United’s best performance of the season under head coach Eric Ten Hagh, who recorded 28 shots and 10 effective shots, while Tottenham had only nine shots and two effective shots.

Nineteen of those shots came from Manchester United in the first half, nevertheless scoring no goals in the first half. Fred eventually put the home side ahead with a good performance, and Bruno Fernandes scored another great goal.

This miserable performance was completely overturned against Everton a few days ago, who won by exactly the same margin.

Tottenham were aggressive against Everton, with Harry Kane and Pierre-Emil Hoyvier scoring in the second half.

It was good that Tottenham were short before they forgot to lose to Manchester United, but some key players on the offensive would be out.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min will once again bear a heavy burden because Dejan Koulusevsky is uncertain about his participation and Hishalisson is on crutches. However, this could be an opportunity for Lucas Moura to rejoin the starting lineup.

Miguel Almiron is at his best at Newcastle

Miguel Almiron was the scapegoat for Jack Grillish’s jokes last season, but who is laughing now?

The Paraguayan winger is now at Newcastle’s multi-goal lead with five goals, while Grillish has only one and is not a regular starter for Manchester City.

Almiron has established himself as a key player for Newcastle as Alan Saint-Maximain and Alexander Isaac have been sidelined in the past few games.

After a scoreless draw against Manchester United, he scored a decisive goal in 30 minutes against Everton yesterday to create the Premier League 2022 highlight. Bruno Guimarangas found Almiron in a close call, and he put the ball into the top corner of the net with a single touch.

Eddie Howe deserves credit for transforming the team into a strong defensive form, as they scored the lowest runs (nine goals) in England’s first division.

Considering that he lost the most points (80 goals) in less than a year on the calendar and held an unwanted record, the reversal of defense is very impressive.

Record

Tottenham are ahead of Newcastle in the face-to-face match. Tottenham have 73 wins, Newcastle 59 wins and 34 draws in 166 previous games this week.

Tottenham recently won seven Premier League games (two draws and one loss) against Newcastle, including last season’s double, which they won 8-3 in total.

They also won eight league games at home and allowed only five runs while scoring 22 goals. This is the second longest home winning streak, with only 14 consecutive wins recorded from November 2016 to May 2017.​

Despite losing away games against Tottenham last season, Newcastle have won 10 Premier League away games against them, a joint record against a single team along with West Ham United.

Newcastle have lost only once (two wins and three draws) in six previous league away games.

Napoli ace Hvicha Kvaratshelia, Liverpool-Real Madrid are in the spotlight

If you ask me to mention a club to pay attention to in Europe this season, many soccer fans as well as Korean fans will say Napoli.

They were also showing good records in the 10-game unbeaten march and the Champions group stage, and above all, they couldn’t help but pay attention to them in that each player’s performance was more than expected.

Above all, this season was going to be very special for those who had a successful transfer market, with newly joined players such as Hvicha Kravatshelia, Jambo Angusa and Kim Min-jae quickly reborn as aces.

Napoli’s aces have already not played 20 games since joining, but rumors of a transfer have already been pouring in. Starting with Kim Min-jae, each club, from Kbaratsu Helia, was watching their performance and actions.

Here, the British media reports, “Liverpool will compete with Real Madrid to recruit Kvaratzhelia.”

Kbaratsu Helia joined the transfer market and rumors of a transfer of world-class clubs were reported in just three games, and he was likely to experience a rather short Napoli life in that he was at the heart of Napoli’s attack.

In the case of Kim Min-jae, there was a contract condition that had to be in Naples at least this season as a buyout was triggered in June 2023, not in the 22-23 season, but in the case of Kvaratsu Helia, he could immediately transfer from the winter transfer market.

Currently, Liverpool has made a clear difference in their offense after leaving Sadio Mane, and Darwin Nunes, who was ambitiously recruited, fell into a slump and only Salah and Luis Diaz were to be trusted.

Liverpool had to recruit a player who could be responsible for the attack and were said to be interested in recruiting Kylian Mbappe, who continued to watch Kvaratzhelia’s performance.

Liverpool were expected to try to recruit players in the winter transfer market to be competitive in the league, and the target was Kvaratsu Helia.

This season was so good that it was no wonder to call it the “Naples Boom,” and as the transfer fee for the players increased, it was clear that they could receive a lot of transfer fees if they sold the players.

Real Madrid, which gave up Mbappe, and Liverpool, which has to take a leap to the top of the league, had to pay attention to the news of Kvaratsu Helia for a while as they were looking to recruit Hvicha Kvaratsu Helia, a key player in Naples.

Napoli was expected to call Kvaratsu Helia’s transfer fee high due to this interest, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs will be active to recruit Kvaratsu Helia.
