Hwang Hee-chan, Out for 6 Weeks due to Hamstring Injury


HWANG HEE-CHAN, OUT FOR 6 WEEKS DUE TO HAMSTRING INJURY... LOOKS LIKE HE WON"T BE ABLE TO PLAY AGAINST THAILAND IN THE WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS


Hwang Hee-chan excluded from the list" Wolverhampton loses 0-3 to Newcastle in an empty ball.


It appears that national team striker Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) will not be able to participate in the second round of the Asian region qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup to be held this month.


He injured his hamstring (the muscle behind his thigh) and was ruled out of playing for six weeks.


Wolverhampton coach Gary O"Neill reported Hwang Hee-chan"s condition after finishing the 27th round away game of the 2023-2024 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) against Newcastle United held at St. James Park in Newcastle, England on the 3rd (Korean time).


Coach O"Neill said, "It will likely take six weeks for Hwang Hee-chan to recover.


It is a disaster for us at this point."


Hwang Hee-chan injured his hamstring in the English Football Association (FA) Cup round of 16 home game against Brighton & Hove Albion on the 29th of last month.


Hwang Hee-chan, who fell to the ground alone in the 9th minute of the second half after making a pass to develop an attack without any special collision, suffered while holding the back of his left thigh, and was replaced by Neto after checking his condition with the medical team.


Even if the recovery period announced by Coach O"Neill is counted from immediately after the injury, it is virtually impossible for Hwang Hee-chan to return within this month.


Hwang Hee-chan is expected to be able to compete until the middle of next month.


If this happens, they will not be able to participate in the North and Central America World Cup qualifier two-game series against Thailand, which will be held at 8 p.m. on the 21st of this month at Seoul World Cup Stadium and at 9:30 p.m. on the 26th at Rajamangaral Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.


With the departure of Hwang Hee-chan, coach Hwang Seon-hong, who took over as temporary head coach of the national team, is expected to face deeper concerns.


Coach Hwang will announce the national team list for the match against Thailand on the 11th.


Hamstrings are a chronic injury area for Hwang Hee-chan.


Hwang Hee-chan has suffered several hamstring injuries, including in February and August of last year and during the 2022 Qatar World Cup.


With Hwang Hee-chan excluded from the playing list, coach O"Neill selected Jean-Richnec Bellegarde, a former member of the French under-23 national team, as the attacking line-up, along with Neto and Pablo Sarabia.


However, Wolverhampton suffered from empty balls, with only three effective shots in total, and lost 0-3 to Newcastle.


Just 14 minutes into the game, Newcastle"s main gun Alexander Isak conceded a goal, and in the 33rd minute of the first half, he gave up the second goal to Anthony Gordon.


Newcastle took the lead early by making it 2-0 in the first half, and even defender Tino Libramento scored just before the end of the game, winning by three goals.


Wolverhampton is in tears due to injuries to their offensive line.


Brazilian striker Mateusz Cunha, who has been working with Hwang Hee-chan in Wolverhampton"s front line, also injured his hamstring in the middle of last month, and it is unclear whether he will return within this month.


The two players played such a big role in the attack that they scored 11 goals this season and were named as Wolverhampton"s top scorers.


Wolverhampton (38 points), with 11 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses due to a complete defeat on this day, was ranked 10th.


Newcastle (12 wins, 4 draws, 11 losses, 40 points), who earned 3 points, rose to 8th place, beating Wolverhampton and Brighton (39 points).


Kim Ji-su, a central defender born in 2004, was on the Brentford squad for a long time, but was unable to play on the pitch.


On this day, Brentford faced Chelsea at the G-Tech Community Stadium in London and drew 2-2.


Kim Ji-soo, who mainly played in the second-team B team, has not yet received any playing time in the EPL this season.


Brentford (26 points), with 7 wins, 5 draws, and 15 losses, was in 15th place, and Chelsea (10 wins, 6 draws, 10 losses, 36 points) was in 11th place.

Lee Chae-ho and Kim Young-gyu, Attempted to Transform Into Start

?? ?? ??? kt ???·NC ???, ???? ?? ??

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


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


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

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.
