Leverkusen wins European club competition for the first time in 36 years

Bayer Leverkusen, led by head coach Xavi Alonso, completely forgot the defeat.

Leverkusen beat AS Roma 2-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinals in the 2023/24 season at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, on the 3rd.

Leverkusen went ahead by scoring the first goal in the middle of the first half. Alejandro Grimaldo intercepted AS Roma defender Rick Karsdorf's back pass miss in the 28th minute and passed it to Florian Birtz. Birtz, who was in the penalty box, pushed it with his right foot.

Leverkusen added another goal in the second half. Grimaldo, who caught Granit Xhaka's penetrating pass in the 28th minute, passed it to Jeremy Frimpong. Grimaldo's pass passed through Frimpong and Josip Stanisic to Robert Andrich, who scored with an accurate mid-range shot.


According to soccer statistics magazine Squaka, Leverkusen set various records by winning against Roma. First of all, Leverkusen increased its official record of unbeaten matches to 47. Leverkusen won the semifinals of the European club competition in 36 years. Finally, Leverkusen became the first team to record a scoreless game in Rome this season.

Leverkusen is the biggest sensation in Europe during the 2023/24 season. Leverkusen already beat Bayern Munich to achieve its first Bundesliga title in its 120-year history. Leverkusen has yet to lose a single match this season. Leverkusen broke Juventus' record of longest unbeaten match in the 21st century (43 matches) from 2011 to 2012.

Leverkusen, which won the Bundesliga, is also vying to win the UEFA Europa League and the DFB Pokal. If Leverkusen win in all three of its competitions, it will achieve its first treble. If it reaches the UEFA Europa League final, Leverkusen will have six matches to play in this season. If Leverkusen does not lose in six matches, it will have another milestone to set. 토토사이트

Postecoglou stubbornness bogged down three consecutive losses

"Is it a set piece again?"

Tottenham Hotspur's losing route is obvious. It is homework these days to allow a goal from a set piece rather than a field goal. Following the North London derby, problems were repeated against Chelsea.

Tottenham lost 0-2 to Chelsea in the 26th round of the 2023-24 season, which ended at Stamford Bridge in London on the 3rd. Tottenham, which has been mired in three consecutive losses at the end of the season, failed to close the gap with Aston Villa (67 points) in fourth place as it remained at 60 points with 18 wins, six draws and 10 losses for a long time.

Due to conflicting opinions between the coach and the players, they could not unite as one. These days, Tottenham is in conflict with set-piece tactics. While the team has been criticized as a weakness due to its lack of well-organized defense in set-pieces throughout this season, Coach Angé Postecoglou does not put much emphasis on it.

Tottenham's set-piece has not been weak from the past. This is the part that has changed since Postecoglou took charge. Antonio Conte, a former coach, valued set-pieces very much. Conte joined hands with set-piece expert Giovanni Bio ahead of last season. The Italian coach, Bio, was famous for being a set-piece master with 4,830 set-piece tactics alone.

Currently, there are no staff members who only handle set pieces. Postecoglou seems to think that he lacks concentration. Regarding the two runs conceded in the match against Arsenal when the controversy over set pieces began in earnest, he said he needed to concentrate on defense. "There are many things we need to fix. We need to reduce the allowance of time and space for our opponents. We need to look at the bigger and wider picture while improving other details," he said, refusing to accept criticism limited to just one set piece.

"It's not the first time I've been asked about set pieces in my career as a coach," he said. "There's a reason why I don't take this issue seriously. I'm going to make a team that can succeed someday, and the way is not just set pieces."

The problem is that players are nervous. Immediately, Son Heung-min said, "Ahnall was very strong against aerial balls. If a set-piece goal is conceded in such a game, the situation will go through difficulties," adding, "I felt that I had to focus on set-pieces in big matches from now on. I need to be strong. Everyone needs to take a step forward."

Dejan Kulusevskiy said, "There was not much difference from Arsenal. However, the opponent team was more organized and calm. When I saw the loss from the corner kick, I felt that I had to strengthen in difficult situations such as set pieces. I should not have allowed the goal too easily." Defender Mickey van der Pen also said, "I am disappointed that we conceded two goals in the set piece. We have to train hard and work hard."

When there was a disagreement over the set piece, "Spursweb" said, "Tottenham's set piece problem is clear. Coach Postecoglou is always defensive about this question, but he is hoping to make a different decision internally."

In the match against Chelsea in a chaotic situation, he conceded two goals in the free kick alone. In the 24th minute of the first half, he missed Trevor Chalobah in the free kick defense and lost a point, and he was also hit by a set-fir in the second half. There was an unexpected variable that hit the post, but he failed to display concentration on the second ball.

In the end, Tottenham, which ignored the voices of the squad, increased its number of set-piece goals to 14 this season. This is the fifth Premier League club to allow more goals at set-piece this season.

According to the soccer statistics magazine Huskored Dotcom, Nottingham Forest had the most goals with 22 goals, followed by Luton Town (17 goals), Sheffield United and Burnley (16 goals). When it comes to set piece defense, the team is at the bottom of the standings. 토토사이트

Ten Hag's 'out of the blue' towards Dortmund player

Erik ten Hag 54, manager of Manchester United hereinafter referred to as Manchester United, praised Jadon Sancho 24, Borussia Dortmund, who left the team due to discord with him.

Sancho was established as one of the best players in the German Bundesliga at a young age in 2021. In the 2020/21 season, when he was just in his twenties, he scored 16 goals and 20 assists in 38 games, and Manchester United made a huge recruitment worth 85 million euros about 124.8 billion won.

Despite playing in the U.S., his adaptation to the Premier League has not been smooth. Sancho had only 12 goals and six assists in 82 matches at Manchester United during the two and a half seasons, and to make matters worse, he was classified as an out-of-strength resource due to disagreements with Ten Hag this season.

In the end, he transferred to his former club Dortmund on loan through the winter transfer market, and Sancho, who was immediately reborn as the main player, made a brilliant contribution to Dortmund's advance to the semifinals of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League.

In particular, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain PSG, which was held on the 1st, was overwhelming. Sancho led Dortmund to a 1-0 victory with 100 touches, 13 dribbles and an 88% pass success rate, while the soccer statistics media "FotMob" gave Sancho an 8.8 rating and selected him as MOM Man Of the Match.

As it is a loan transfer, he is still a member of Manchester United, and manager Ten Hag also praised Sancho.

In an interview with the U.S. media The Athletic on the 2nd, Ten Hag said, "Sancho played really well against PSG. He showed why Manchester United recruited him, which is a good thing," adding, "I'm happy and we'll see what happens in the future."

It is merely an interview praising the hired player, but local fans do not seem to like it. On the SNS, negative public opinions such as "I am showing it to Dortmund," "What are you saying without writing it?" "Manchester United's answer to Sancho is Antony," and "A player who does not match Manchester United no matter how well he is."

At this point, Sancho is unlikely to remain in Manchester United at all. Ten Hag is likely to be dismissed depending on the results of the 2023/24 England FA Cup final against Manchester City on the 25th, and if a new coach takes the helm, Sancho will also consider his future.

Lee Jihyun Shin, Shinhan Bank's Bird's Nest via BNK in a day

Women's professional basketball All-Star guard Jihyun Shin 28, 174 cm had the ups and downs of moving to Shinhan Bank in Incheon just a day after transferring to Busan BNK as a compensation player. 토토사이트

The Korea Women's Basketball League WKBL said on the 25th, "Shinhan Bank has agreed to a trade with Jihyun Shin to receive the first round of rookie nominations for the 2024-25 season and to give forward Byun So-jung 20, 180 cm and center Park Sung-jin 20, 185 cm to BNK."

Jihyun Shin won the Rookie of the Year award in the 2014-15 season and became the top five guard in the league for two consecutive years from the 2020-21 season. He played in 29 regular league games at Hana Bank in Bucheon last season, recording an average of 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. In 2022, he ranked No. 1 in fan voting for All Star, and is loved by many fans.

Jihyun Shin was named by BNK as a compensation player when Hana One Q recruited center Jinan as a free agent the previous day. And just a day later, he changed his uniform to Shinhan Bank again.

BNK already completed its guardhouse of Lee So-hee, Ahn Hye-ji, and Park Hye-jin, and recruited Byun So-jeong and Park Sung-jin as trade cards to strengthen the team's under-the-goal base. Both Byun and Park Sung-jin are 20-year-olds who are expected to grow taller than 180 centimeters.

The First Season Champion

KT director Song Young-jin is answering reporters' questions.
The criticism was overturned.

The Korean pro basketball team advanced to the 2023-2024 championship game best of four out of seven under the presidential office of the National Basketball Association. Having continued to play in the semifinal playoff, KT had to endure a tough game until the fifth round at the semifinal PO. What's left is its first championship since its foundation.

KT manager Song Young-jin made a turnaround in his first season as a coach. Song, who served as KT's coach from 2005 to 2015 when he was an active player, retired and started coaching KT. He joined the team during the 2006-2007 season when KT won its first championship game. Afterwards, he worked as a coach at Whimungo and Yonsei University, and returned as KT's senior coach in 2022. Then, he took the helm of KT in the wake of former coach Seo Dong-cheol last year.

There were many twists and turns. KT had achieved an upward trajectory that enabled the team to win all of its seven games in February, but it plummeted from March to March. It instantly plunged to third place from a position that threatened the team's No. 1 ranking in the regular league. It did not advance directly to the semifinals via PO, and was chased by the fourth place. Song had this season agonized over distribution of roles between foreign players Paris Bath and Hur Hoon, but failed to come up with a clear solution.

There was also a crisis in the semifinal PO. At the first and second games held at home, the team tied with one win and one loss, and was in a crisis. It was not easy as the team lost ground to Hyundai Mobis' momentum. However, Song benefited from the unexpected appointment of players. In the semifinal PO, he displayed determination that was not like a novice coach at a time of crisis.

"We talked a lot. Of course, I scolded them," coach Song said. "Players talked a lot about each other sincerely. Then, we became stronger. We found our way as we talked about what we wanted each other rather than looking wrong. That motivated me and I played the series well." "After seeing the results, he talked a lot about it for sure," he said with a smile.

KT director Song Young-jin is answering reporters' questions.
Song's replacement card was also accurate. In the PO for the sixth round, Lee Hyun-suk appeared, which provided a boost to his defense. In the PO for the fourth round, Kim Joon-hwan and Choi Chang-jin also appeared. In the fifth game against LG, Song also had strong players who did not use Ha Yoon-ki, who was in poor condition. "Even among the players, Song Young-jin gives us an opportunity when we are preparing," a KT source said.

"Actually, there could be no other option. Gyeonggi Province was on the brink of a precipice, and the appointment of players was also on the brink," Choi said. "Kim Jun-hwan's choice meant that Paris Bath would do as he wanted, so he wanted to give him some space at least. Choi Chang-jin also said, "Jung Sung-woo was so tired that he could get tired in the fourth quarter."

"Even though the players did not play much, they prepared well in their own way. That's why I highly appreciated Jun-hwan and Chang-jin's hard work. I did well because well-prepared players came out. It's not that I have a good feeling," he said. 토토사이트

WKBL's all-time FA market that moved 15 players

Fifteen players changed their uniforms. It was truly the all-time FA market.

WKBL announced the nomination results for FA compensation players for 2024 on Monday. Earlier, eight FA players chose to transfer, and seven moved to FA compensation players.

The FA market was hot.

Starting with Jinan BNK Som → Hana One Q, big fish such as Park Hye-jin Woori Bank → BNK, Choi Lee-sam Woori Bank → Shinhan Bank, and Kim Sonia Shinhan Bank → BNK transferred in turn. Eight people, including Na Yoon-jung Woori Bank → KB Stars, Shin Isul Samsung Life → Shinhan Bank, Shim Sung-young KB Stars → Woori Bank, and Park Hye-mi Samsung Life → Woori Bank, signed with the new team.

With eight FA transfers, the nomination of compensation players was also a concern.

In the case of ranking 1st to 10th in contribution for the current year, 300% of the contract amount or one compensating athlete can be nominated. Rankings 11th to 20th are 200% of the contract amount or one compensating athlete. Four protected athletes are Jinan 2nd in contribution, Sonia 8th, Choi Yi-sam 14th, and Shin Seul 15th.

Below the 21st place in contribution level, the number of protected players varies depending on the contribution level of the previous year. The first to 30th place in contribution level of the previous year should be 100% of the contract amount or one compensation player Park Hye-jin and Shim Sung-young, and the first place in contribution level of the previous year should be 100% of the contract amount or one compensation player Na Yoon-jung and Park Hye-mi should be sent below the 31st place in contribution level.

Hana One Q, which recruited Jinan, eventually gave up Jihyun Shin, a former No. 1 All-Star. Along with Jinan, Hana One Q signed internal FA contracts with Yang In-young, Kim Si-on, and Kim Dan-ah, and did not include Jihyun Shin in the protected player list. It is a transfer of a franchise star.

BNK acquired Ahn Hye-ji, an internal free agent, along with Park Hye-jin and Kim Sonia. In addition, Jihyun Shin also joined the team as compensation players and built a strong lineup. Of course, there was bleeding as well. Han Umji gave up to Woori Bank and Park Sung-jin to Shinhan Bank as compensation players.

Woori had the largest number of players who left the bank. Park Ji-hyun announced her overseas expansion and sent Park Hye-jin, Choi E-sam, and Na Yoon-jeong at random. Instead, the FA recruited Shim Sung-young and Park Hye-mi, and started a new round by bringing in Han Um-ji, Lee Da-yeon, and Kim Ye-jin as compensation players. Kim Eun-sun was given as compensation player for Shim, and Samsung Life Insurance opted for compensation of 70 million won.

Shinhan Bank brought in Kim Ah-reum as a compensation player while recruiting Shin Isul. Kim Ah-reum moved to Samsung Life Insurance after signing an internal FA contract with Shinhan.

KB Stars gave up Kim Ye-jin as Na Yoon-jung's compensation player and hired Kim Eun-sun as Shim Sung-young's compensation player. 스포츠토토

Stick or twist for the future of sports betting advertising?

Sports betting remains firmly established in TV, as many global industries today shift their focus more and more toward social media advertising. But is it just a matter of time?

That's exactly the question we posed to industry pioneer Ken Robertson. He spent 18 years at Paddy Power, creating several iconic (and controversial) campaigns involving Nicklas Bendner's boxer, Oscar Pistorius' legs, and Stephen Hawking's computer.

TV ads still play the biggest role in gambling ad spending in the UK and US in 2024. Do you see betting ads moving to mobile and social media, as we've seen in many other industries?

"Yes, I think the mix or distribution of spending in marketing channels has come a long way. I'm not exactly sure what the numbers look like now, but historically I think 50% of the spending would have been on TV and the rest would have been distributed on the BBC, social channels, etc. The mix might not be a million miles away from now, but I can't say it's increasing with TV. TV still has a role to play, and distribution may change, but I don't think the environment has changed completely yet."

In fact, it's true that TV is still at the top of advertising spending, and by a considerable margin.

It's easy to see why sports betting advertising has built a TV-dominated business model over the past three decades, when it's the main place where people go to watch sports. But like many industries in modern times, the environment is changing. Even though it exists within a rapidly evolving mechanism: speculative industries, the demand for creativity remains constant.

You have now established Agency the Tentman. In your opinion, how does your advertisement stand out and how do you think it can be applied to social media in the modern technological age?

"It's about taking the idea of a reverse branch, that is, choosing a path that has traveled somewhat less. So when a brief description comes in, we always divide the summary. We tend to go back to our clients, and interrogate the description thoroughly and provocatively just to apply a slightly different perspective. As an agency, we always approach things from a slightly nontraditional perspective. And the proof of that is all the work we've created for all our clients, not just in the sports betting category, but in the other regulated categories that we work with." 슬롯사이트 추천

Read the full interview between Robertson and his colleague Gethin Evans and keep an eye out for the May/June issue of Gambling Insider magazine to detail Robertson's new adventures and more from Paddy Power.
