KT LEE CHAE-HO AND NC KIM YOUNG-GYU, WHO ATTEMPTED TO TRANSFORM INTO STARTERS RETURNED HOME EARLY DUE TO INJURY

 

 

Chae-ho Lee suffers an ankle sprain and Young-gyu Kim suffers elbow pain.

As spring training for professional baseball teams draws to a close, KT Wiz submarine pitcher Lee Chae-ho (25), who was trying to transform from a key bullpen to a starting pitcher, and NC Dinos left-handed pitcher Kim Young-gyu (24) returned home early due to injury.

A KT official said on the 29th, "Lee Chae-ho injured his right ankle in a practice game against the KIA Tigers held in Okinawa, Japan on the 25th.

Due to the nature of the second spring camp with many actual games, we decided it would be better to recover in Korea, so he returned to Korea on the 27th." reported.

He added, "A simple sprain was found during a local examination in Japan.

As the opening of the exhibition game is just around the corner, we plan to focus on recovery."

Lee Chae-ho, who transferred to KT from SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers) in 2022, appeared in 38 games as a bullpen that year and performed well with 5 wins, 3 holds, and an ERA of 2.95.

However, last season, he performed somewhat poorly, with 1 loss and 1 hold in 25 games and an ERA of 6.93.

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol judged that Lee Chae-ho suffered a "jinx in his second year as a starter" last season and planned to use him as a fifth starter or long relief pitcher in the new season.

In addition, in this spring camp, existing bullpen pitchers such as Ju-won and Kim Min-soo participated in the selection competition.

Lee Chae-ho trained diligently and attempted to transform, but unfortunately ended spring camp early due to an injury.

Kim Young-gyu, who was competing for the starting spot in NC, also returned to Korea early.

An NC official said, "Kim Young-gyu complained of slight pain in his left elbow during spring camp training in Tucson, Arizona, USA, and returned home on the 27th."

Kim Young-gyu is an indispensable core resource for NC.

He led the bullpen with 2 wins, 4 losses, 24 holds, and an ERA of 3.06 in 63 regular season games last year.

He showed an overwhelming performance in all three semi-playoff games with SSG, conceding no goals, and also joined the national team for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and helped win the gold medal.

Kim Young-gyu, who had his best year yet, was preparing for an even bigger leap forward in the new season.

After receiving a recommendation from coach Kang In-kwon, he applied for the starting position.

However, Kim Young-gyu"s change of position took a brief pause.

Kim Young-gyu plans to undergo a detailed examination in Korea and reschedule his future recovery and training schedule based on the diagnosis results.

Jeong Hae-seong as Chairman of the Power Strengthening Committee to Lead the Selection of the Next National Soccer Team Coach

 

 

As part of Hiddink"s division, 10 people, including Go Jeong-woon, Park Seong-bae, Yoon Jeong-hwan, and Park Joo-ho, who contributed to the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals, are the new power strengthening committee members.

Jeong Hae-seong, the current head of the competition committee, was appointed as the chairman of the Korea Football Association"s National Team Power Strengthening Committee, which will lead the selection process for the next soccer team head coach.

The Football Association held an executive meeting on the 20th and announced that it had decided to entrust Chairman Chung with the position of Chairman of the Power Strengthening Committee.

Chairman Chung is a person who contributed to Korea"s legend of reaching the semifinals by assisting coach Guus Hiddink as a coach at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

The Strengthening 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 over 18 years old.

Chairman Chung leads the Power Strengthening Committee as the successor to former Chairman Michael Müller (Germany), who resigned along with former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Chairman Chung"s urgent task is to find the men"s national team head coach, which has become vacant amid the worst chaos in history.

While the Football Association dismissed former coach Klinsmann, taking responsibility for the poor performance and elimination in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, the national team will immediately participate in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2 during the A-match period in March (18th to 26th).

The 3rd and 4th games (21st and 26th) will be played against Thailand, the most difficult opponent of the preliminary round.

If the process of appointing a new head coach does not speed up, at least an interim coach should be selected to lead the national team only in the A-match in March.

Most of the leaders mentioned as interim coaches, such as Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo, Jeju United coach Kim Hak-beom, FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong, U-23 national team coach Hwang Sun-hong, and former Gangwon FC coach Choi Yong-soo, have teams that they are currently in charge of, so this work is also being done.

It doesn"t look like it will be easy.

The Football Association also appointed 10 new power reinforcement committee members.

The new power reinforcement committee members include Gimpo FC coach Go Jeong-woon, Soongsil University coach Park Seong-bae, commentator Park Joo-ho, former Gwangju FC head coach Song Myeong-won, Sejong Sports Toto coach Yoon Deok-yeo, Gangwon FC coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, Mungyeong Managing Director Lee Mi-yeon, QMIT CEO Lee Sang-ki, and former Vietnam representative Lee Young-jin. National team coach Jeon Gyeong-jun is the technical committee chairman of the Professional Football League.

Chairman Jeong and 10 members will convene the first Power Enhancement Committee meeting on the morning of the 21st.

After the meeting, a press conference will be held to reveal impressions of the inauguration and national team management plans.

Chairman Chung, who played for Korea First Bank and Lucky Goldstar as a player and then as a coach on the professional stage, made his name known as a member of Hiddink"s division that reached the World Cup semifinals.

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he served as head coach of Huh Jung-Moo and contributed to Korea"s advancement to the round of 16 of the away World Cup for the first time in history, and in 2017, he joined former coach Uli Stielike"s national team midway through and served as head coach for six months.

As a professional team coach, he directed the K-League Jeju and Jeonnam Dragons, and served as the head of the referee and competition committee of the Football Association.

Meanwhile, former Chairman Müller plans to take charge of technology-related research at the Football Association.

Kim Su-ji “I was Rewarded with an Olympic Qualification and a Bronze Medal at the World Championships”

 

 

Shining bronze medal in women’s 3m diving… Winning the second individual World Championships medal, five members of Korean diving secured qualification for the Paris Olympics in the individual event.

Kim Su-ji (25, Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall) stood on the springboard with her left knee strongly taped.

Suji Kim suppressed her pain and hung her World Swimming Championships medal with a brilliant performance.

Kim Su-ji improved her skills while fighting injuries, and was rewarded with brilliant achievements such as qualification for the Paris Olympics and a bronze medal at the World Championships.

Suji Kim took third place with a total score of 311.25 points from the first to fifth periods in the women"s 3m springboard final at the 2024 World Championships Diving held at the Hamad Aquatic Center in Doha, Qatar on the 10th (Korean time).

Kim Su-ji, who became the first Korean diving world championship medalist in Gwangju in 2019, also won her second medal in Korean diving history.

As the only Korean female athlete to win a World Aquatics Championships medalist, she also earned the title of being the first Korean diving athlete to win two or more medals.

Kim Su-ji, who stood on the podium with a smile, said through the Korea Swimming Federation, "Five years ago in Gwangju, I thought I had not yet reached the international level.

I thought I was just lucky, so I was less impressed.

Now, I feel like I have grown since then."

“I am happier and more satisfied with the thought that I have been rewarded for my hard work,” she said.

On this day, Su-ji Kim’s parents stood in the stands and watched their daughter perform brilliantly and receive a shining bronze medal around her neck.

Su- ji Kim said, “Thank you for coming all the way to Doha to support me.

“I am even happier because I achieved this in front of my parents,” he said with a smile.

On the 3rd, Suji Kim took 8th place in the women"s 1m springboard final with a total of 248.60 points in the 1st to 5th periods.

Su-ji Kim, who finished second in the preliminaries, made a mistake in the second period of the final that took her out of medal contention.

Su-ji Kim recalled that she "immediately forgot about her disappointment in the 1m springboard, which could have won her a medal, and focused on the 3m springboard."

Kim Soo-ji, who scored 302.10 points in her nine-day 3m springboard semifinal to break the 300-point mark for the first time, advanced to the final in a tie for third, securing a 12-person spot at the Paris Olympics.

She broke her personal best again in her final on the 10th, earning her a bronze medal at the World Championships.

Suji Kim was diagnosed with torn cartilage in her left knee in December last year.

Naturally, he felt pain during training and was emotionally distressed.

However, participating in international competitions became a good pain reliever for Kim Su-ji.

Before leaving for Doha, Kim Su-ji met and said, "I still enjoy diving the most.

Participating in international competitions makes me forget the pain.

Moreover, I have a ticket to the Paris Olympics at the world championships.

“I had to adjust the amount of training, but I will go to Doha after successfully completing some technical training,” he said with a bright expression.

Kim Su-ji smiled brighter as she secured her third Olympic appearance, following London in 2012 and Tokyo in 2021, and won her second World Championships medal as an individual and for Korean diving.

Kim Su-ji"s Doha competition is not over yet.

Kim Su-ji will compete with Lee Jae-kyung (24, Incheon Metropolitan City Hall) in the mixed synchro 3m springboard final held on the afternoon of the 10th.

At last year"s Fukuoka Games, Kim Su-ji and Lee Jae-kyung placed fourth in this event.

Kim Su-ji expected, “If I finish the mixed synchronized 3m competition in Doha without making any mistakes, I think I will be able to go one step higher than last year.”

If Kim Soo-ji wins a medal in the mixed synchro 3m springboard event at this competition, she will become the second Korean athlete to win three world championship medals, following management Park Tae-hwan.

Tae-hwan Park ranked first in the 400m freestyle and third in the 200m at the 2007 Melbourne Games, and won the gold medal in the 400m freestyle in Shanghai in 2011.

Korean divers, including Kim Su-ji, were rewarded for their efforts with a "Paris Olympic qualification" at this year"s Doha competition.

Men"s 3m springboard Woo Ha-ram (25, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation) and Lee Jae-kyung, and men"s 10m platform Shin Jeong-hwi (22, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation) won the right to participate in the individual event at the Paris Olympics through this competition.

A total of five people have confirmed their participation in the Paris Olympics, including Kim Young-taek (22, Jeju Provincial Office), who won a ticket to Paris in the men"s 10m platform at the Fukuoka Games last year, and Kim Su-ji in the women"s 3m springboard.

Son Tae-rang, coach of the diving team, said, “We have won the largest number of individual events in the Korean diving Olympics in history,” and added, “I am grateful to the athletes who have patiently endured and worked hard all this time.”

Asian Cup Iran Wins on Penalties Against Syria… Clash with Japan in Quarterfinals

 

 

Iran won a hard-fought victory over Syria and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup and will play a "big match" against Japan.

In the round of 16 of the tournament held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 1st (Korean time), Iran was tied 1-1 for 120 minutes until extra time with Syria, and won 5-3 in a penalty shootout to advance to the quarterfinals.

Iran will compete with Japan, who defeated Bahrain 3-1, to advance to the semifinals at 8:30 p.m. on the 3rd.

Japan and Iran are strong teams representing East Asia and West Asia, respectively.

In the FIFA rankings, Japan ranks 17th, the highest among Asian countries, and the next highest is Iran at 21st.

It was expected that the tournament match between the two teams would take place until the finals, but contrary to expectations, Japan finished second in Group D and advanced to the round of 16, forcing them to face each other early.

Iran, which won the Asian Cup three times in a row from the 1968 tournament to the 1976 tournament, is attempting to win the championship for the fourth time in total and for the first time in 48 years.

Japan, which holds the record for winning the most tournaments (4 times), is attempting to win for the 5th time in total and for the first time in 13 years since the 2011 tournament.

On this day, Iran"s main striker, Mehdi Taremi, was sent off due to accumulating warnings and was unable to play against Japan, which is a big bad news for Iran.

Iran took the lead with Taremi"s penalty kick goal in the 34th minute of the first half.

Earlier, Taremi induced a foul from Syrian defender Ayham Owusu.

Iran dominated the game with a ball possession rate of close to 70%.

However, the front line strikers such as Taremi and Sardar Azmun looked somewhat dull.

Then, the momentum of the game changed when Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand donated a penalty kick midway through the second half.

Beiranvand committed a foul by stepping on the foot of Syrian striker Pablo Sabagh, and Korea referee Kim Jong-hyuk declared a penalty kick after an on-field review.

Omar Karvin, who played as a kicker, calmly scored a shot in the 19th minute of the second half to tie the game.

Iran was outnumbered at the end of the second half when Taremi was sent off for accumulating warnings.

Taremi, who had previously received a yellow card for simulation, received a second warning in the 46th minute of the second half after blocking an opponent dribbling from the side with a rough foul.

Iran, which did not concede a goal despite the crisis, survived the extra period and entered the penalty shootout.

Beiranvand blocked the shot of Syria"s second kicker, and all five of Iran"s kickers succeeded.

Asian Cup, ‘Is this Saudi Arabia?’… Klinsmann Holds Round of 16 Match Amid ‘Green Wave’

 

 

In order for Klinsmann to overcome the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, he will likely have to overcome the stadium atmosphere that will be reminiscent of his home in Saudi Arabia.

In Doha, Qatar, Saudi soccer fans can be easily found here and there in the city on the 27th (local time), three days before the round of 16 match between Saudi Arabia and the Korean national soccer team led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

When Saudi fans meet East Asians, they often ask "Korea? Japan?"

If you answer “Korean,” they excitedly shout that Saudi Arabia will beat Korea and advance to the quarterfinals.

Korea has a lineup of top players playing in the big leagues, including Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Kim Min-jae (Munich), but they are not enough for Saudi Arabia, which is growing into a solid team under the guidance of coach Roberto Mancini.

He also presents his own ‘analysis’ that suggests this may be the case.

According to Saudi reporters and the Korean community in Doha, Saudi soccer fans are flocking to Doha after the Saudi national team confirmed its advancement to the round of 16.

Park Gwan-ho, owner of a construction business here and whose family runs a Korean restaurant in the city, said, "The number of Saudis has increased significantly in the past few days.

It seems like everyone is coming to watch the Asian Cup."

It takes 5 hours by car from Riyadh, the Saudi capital, to Doha, and 3 hours from Dammam, the third largest city.

This is a level where you can drive without too much effort.

Not only Saudi Arabia, but also people from other Arab countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar, who also advanced to the round of 16, appear to be cheering for Saudi Arabia rather than Korea.

President Park, who has lived in the Middle East for over 20 years, said, "The saying that the closer neighboring countries are, the worse the relationship is, does not apply here.

Rather than hating neighboring countries, Arab people have a strong tendency to support them, calling them "Muslim brother countries"." said.

This trend was also confirmed during the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

At that time, when Morocco reached the semifinals for the first time as an Arab country, Arab soccer fans, regardless of nationality, united to cheer for Morocco.

Korea has to deal with not only Saudi Arabia, but also all Arab soccer fans.

According to the Korea Football Association, there are only about 20 ‘Red Devils’ who will visit the stadium for the round of 16.

Most of the 44,000 spectators at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan near Doha, where the game will be played, are expected to be filled with Saudi Arabia"s "green wave".

Moreover, Saudi fans" support is famous for being extreme.

They even use traditional instruments to cheer noisily.

Coach Klinsmann also knows this situation well.

He met with reporters at the training ground on the 27th and said, "I think we may be at a bit of a disadvantage in terms of the stadium atmosphere.

I think about 30,000 Saudi soccer fans will come to the stadium," and "But this is also a part of soccer."

It is fortunate that Education City Stadium is a very familiar place to the Taegeuk Warriors.

Korea played all three group stage matches of the Qatar World Cup at this stadium.

It is very unusual to play all World Cup group matches in the same stadium, which is what Korea did at the Qatar tournament.

The results were good too.

They recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss and made history by advancing to the round of 16 for the third time in history.

However, Saudi Arabia also played a match against Poland in the second round of the group stage of the Qatar World Cup at Education City Stadium, so this place will not be unfamiliar.

The match between Korea and Saudi Arabia will be played at 7pm on the 30th (1am on the 31st, Korean time).
