masterlist

Joining Sydney FC was one of the best things Astrid could have done. She was thriving. She knew joining in the middle of the season was going to be tough, especially because all the girls already knew each other, and it was at first but having Cortnee there really helped, and the other girls ensuring a smooth transition for her too.  

Astrid and her parents did argue for a while when she signed because they weren’t so keen on letting their only child live in Sydney alone at 17, but that was the only option with them unable to move from their jobs. Astrid was a little scared at first when they finally agreed she was more than mature enough to do it, but Cortnee was close by and they had developed a sister-like relationship in Matildas camps and now at the club. And it wasn’t long until she was going to be 18 anyway so it was just an early start to adulthood and Astrid loved it. 

It wasn’t long until she was playing her first Women’s A-league game, subbing on in the end of second half as a right forward. During training and practice matches Astrid was known to always score a goal, specifically towards the end. That’s why the coach brought her on when they were still 0-0 and 20 minutes from full time. She had been warming up since the second half started, ready to run on and help the team out. 

Almost 15 minutes passed and their side finally gained more possession of the ball, Cortnee ran with it on the right side, opposing defence closing in on her. She shot the ball straight up to Astrid who was in a lot of free space just further up on the outside of the box. The ball connected with her feet, with players coming closer she went for it, shooting strongly with her left foot, successfully passing by the goalie and sinking it in the back of the net. The crowd roared, Astrid ran directly to Cortnee who was already running to the younger girl. Astrid jumped onto Cortnee, a wide smile plastered on her face as the rest of the team ran and jumped onto the pair. Her first A-league game and goal and she had brought the team ahead to 1-0 with minutes to spare. 

The game has ended here and the score is 1-0 to Sydney FC with the only goal from number 19 Astrid Taylor. First appearance with this club at 17 years old, after joining the CommBank Matildas a few short months ago. I’ll say it now, I think she’s one to watch everyone, she’s got a strong strike and a great passion for the sport.

After that game, Astrid was gaining more and more minutes with the club, not in the starting 11 just yet, but subbing on towards the end and gaining the position of a ‘super-sub’, never failing to give the team a leg up by scoring at least one goal and a few assists per game right at the end. 

Her parents tried to come to as many games as they could, it being easier with her in the same state and especially when they played against Central Coast United. But when they couldn’t see them in person, they got the extended family together to watch at home. They were so proud of her, finally getting some acknowledgement for all the hard work she had put in from a young age. 

The new year started and the Matildas were off to compete in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, Astrid and Cortnee travelling over together after their recent club match. 

When they arrived Astrid couldn’t have been happier to see the rest of the team after almost 2 months, immediately jumping on Kyra and Charli from behind when she saw them walking towards the tunnel. 

“ASTRID!” Charli squealed once the attacker had let go and they both turned around and brought her into a tight hug. “Oh I missed you.” Charli smiled before letting go, allowing Kyra and Astrid to hug finally. 

“I missed you guys so much. It’s been way too long.” Astrid spoke over Kyra’s shoulder. 

“Good to have the group back together.” Kyra commented as the pair let go, the three of them now walking down the tunnel together, arms wrapped around each other. 

“You know, I think we could beat Cait, Lani and Macca for the best trio on the squad.” Astrid spoke up as they spotted the three players chatting amongst themselves, her comment catching their attention. 

“Excuse me?”  “What?”  “WOW.”

The three of them spoke after one another, Kyra and Charli trying not to laugh beside the youngest player who was about to speak but Mackenzie got the chance first, a small smirk on her face. 

“Now listen here, child-” She began but was interrupted by Tony calling the group over to the pitch for today's training session. 

“Catch ya later.” Astrid smiled before skipping off with Kyra and Charli, arms linked and laughing. Caitlin, Alanna and Mackenzie stood for a second before laughing and following close behind with a shake to the head. 

Throughout this first training session plenty of laughs and jokes were shared within the team, most coming from their youngest player and quite a few being harmlessly thrown at said player. Astrid was building a dynamic with the squad and it was working well for everyone. 

Astrid had been working really hard over the past few days, hoping to maybe make her debut in this camp alongside Cortnee who had yet to make hers too. The pair had been talking up this camp excitingly since it was announced, both having spent a while on the squad but yet to play. 

And that day came for Cortnee. It was their second match in the competition against the Philippines this time and the Matildas were struggling a bit more than their last match a few days ago when they won 18-0 against Indonesia. They reached half time and no goals were made. The starting line up came back after halftime more pumped up than ever. 

6 minutes into half time and Sam had secured them a goal with an assist from Steph; then a Phillipines player made an own goal and gave them another one. Another goal in the net by Emily Van Egmond and they felt even more hopeful about securing the win. At the 71 minute the substitutions for Aus began happening. When Cortnee, Courtney and Holly got called up, Astrid gave them all a clap and a pat on the back, hugging Cortnee a bit more and wishing her luck for her international debut. 

Astrid definitely had the loudest cheer when Cortnee ran on, subbing for Kyah. The final goal by Mary at 87 minutes and then the game was over. A 4-0 victory and a Matildas debut for Cortnee, it was a good game. The Matildas had another game in the group stage, making it to the quarter-finals with a 2-1 win, but again no debut for Astrid. 

The quarter-finals match against South Korea was a tough one, the first goal of the match being made by South Korea in the 87th minute and ending the Matildas journey in the competition with a 0-1 loss. The team were devastated of course, Astrid slightly upset at not making her debut this camp again, but she had only been on the squad a few months so she knew her time would come. 

When Cortnee and Astrid returned to Sydney FC they both trained really hard, especially Astrid. She knew she had something to prove with both her club and national team and the only way to get there was to keep going. In their second match since returning from camp she made the starting line up and Cortnee could not have been more proud, nor could her parents who had been able to come to the game. 

Astrid had played more than 70 minutes and scored the team 2 goals and one assist before she was subbed off, more than happy with her results and to take a rest from her first long game since joining. At the end of the game, which they had won 5-1, Cortnee and Astrid made their way over to the barricade where her parents and Cortnee’s parents and brother had been chatting while they waited for the pair. 

The two families had joined the next day for lunch to celebrate the win and get to know each other a little better. They could see the sisterly bond Astrid and Cortnee had created and Astrid’s parents were happy to see she was being well taken care of since moving out of home. 

The next Matildas camp wasn’t until early April so Astrid had plenty of time to hone in on her skills, gain more minutes with Sydney FC while also adding to her score sheet. By the end of March she had 16 goals, many more assists and even more determination to be on the pitch in the next Matildas camp coming up next week.

entrevista

Com tantos Centros de Treinamento Olímpico espalhados pelo mundo, por que o Hamdeok Complex?

Quando iniciou no futebol, ainda na pré-adolescência, Seulgi se destacou — contrariando os pais que nunca quiseram que a única filha acabasse em um esporte "para homens". A escolha de ir para a Hamdeok foi simples: se considerava a melhor, então precisava do melhor. Como não podia contar com o apoio da família, suou para subir todos os degraus necessários para chegar até o complexo aos 19 anos e moldar a sua carreira a partir dali.

E como você entrou? Alguém te indicou e você passou pelos testes, você se inscreveu voluntariamente para fazer os testes ou houve alguma contribuição monetária envolvida?

Seulgi se inscreveu e passou nos testes, mas também teve indicação de seu antigo treinador que declarou que Hamdeok não poderia perder um talento como ela. Eventualmente, Seulgi também entrou para a seleção nacional coreana de futebol.

Você certamente se destaca no esporte que pratica. O que motivou a sua escolha por ele?

Os irmãos de Seulgi e ela não tinham muitas coisas em comum. Eram quatro filhos do casal Hwang, sendo Seulgi a do meio e única mulher. Nunca fora tão próxima dos pais, então a forma que encontrava de se conectar com a família era através dos irmãos. Eles jogavam futebol juntos nos finais de semana e a garota se exibia por ser melhor que todos eles.

Pode nos contar, brevemente, sobre sua trajetória no esporte até o momento?

Começou a jogar futebol com os irmãos na infância e durante a pré-adolescência chamou a atenção do treinador de futebol de sua escola. Na época, não havia futebol para garotas no lugar, então o homem convidou Seulgi a se juntar a um pequeno clube sub-20. Ali começou a se destacar como atacante, chegando a aparecer na coluna esportiva de um jornal que ninguém lembraria o nome mais tarde — mas foi só quando entrou na Hamdeok em 2015 que Seulgi deslanchou na carreira. Em 2016, ingressou a Seleção Nacional Coreana de Futebol como atacante reserva, e no ano seguinte, saiu do banco para entrar em campo. O estrelato e todo o reconhecimento nacional e internacional caíram como uma luva para Seulgi que acreditava ser a melhor e merecer o melhor, mas não é à toa que existe o ditado sobre a fama subir à cabeça... Os problemas com álcool começaram pouco depois da morte de seu irmão mais novo e o que era mais apegado à Seulgi, Sohyuk, em 2021. Em 2022, durante a final dos Jogos Nacionais de Inverno, Seulgi teve que ser tirada de campo por má conduta (sendo, provavelmente, a culpada pelo time não ter levado o ouro naquele ano) e logo depois, no AFC Women's Asian Cup, surpreendeu o time ao aparecer completamente bêbada para um dos jogos, tendo que ser deixada na reserva e levantando suspeitas dos que acompanhavam as partidas. Somando advertências e recomendações médicas, ausentou-se do futebol em 2023 no que dizem ter sido um "período sabático" — mas não é exatamente um segredo que estivera em uma clínica de reabilitação, afinal, Hwang Seulgi é um nome que desperta olhares curiosos e fofocas em tabloides de nível internacional — retornando apenas agora, no segundo semestre de 2024, mesmo sob a condição de vergonha nacional.

Quais são suas maiores qualidades e maiores defeitos? Como elas influenciam seu dia a dia como atleta?

A ambição de Seulgi sempre foi o que a moveu e, portanto, levou-a até o topo. Costumava ser bastante dedicada à sua rotina, mas isso mudou no último ano. O orgulho excessivo e a inflexibilidade, a dificuldade em mudar onde está errada, são certamente empecilhos na sua vida pessoal e na carreira. 

Sabemos que é uma grande honra ser convocado para representar seu país nos jogos olímpicos, mas existe alguma outra razão pela qual você deseje isso?

Antigamente, Seulgi certamente consideraria uma honra e diria que desejava mais do que tudo representar o seu país para tornar-se a melhor junto dele. Hoje, ela já não liga tanto. O motivo de ter continuado com a carreira foi unicamente porque, antes de morrer, Sohyuk pediu que ela levasse para casa uma medalha de ouro para ele, já que o sonho dele de ser jogador de futebol nunca foi para frente.

Russian football ban set to continue – media

Russian football ban set to continue – media

The country will also be stripped of hosting rights for the UEFA Super Cup

Russian football clubs will remain banned from participating in European club competitions, following a meeting of UEFA’s executive committee on Wednesday, according to Sky News. UEFA and FIFA imposed a large-scale suspension on Russian football clubs in February last year, soon after the onset of the conflict with Ukraine, while the Russian national team was also effectively suspended from participating in the recent FIFA World Cup in Qatar after a playoff fixture was cancelled. Russia’s women’s team were also banned from last year’s European Championships, and the men’s team has also been suspended from qualification for the 2024 European Championships. The measures were later upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following appeals by the Russian Football Union (RFU) and various club teams. It was reported that figures from within the RFU had anticipated discussions with UEFA surrounding the potential reintegration of Russian clubs and national sides to European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League or European Championships at Wednesday’s executive committee meeting.

Russia has date for UEFA talks on potential return – media

However, Sky News reported that UEFA has opted to extend the current suspension – meaning that Russian football will continue to remain outside the accepted European football infrastructure. UEFA is also said to be eager to discuss the more general state of Russian domestic football and how Russian teams might one day be reinstated, though it appears that any such move may be dependent on the reduction of hostilities with Ukraine. Neither the RFU nor UEFA have so far commented on the reports. UEFA is also expected to announce that Kazan has been removed as the host city for the 2023 UEFA Super Cup fixture which takes place annually between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. A new host city is expected to be announced in due course. This comes after Saint Petersburg was removed as the host of the 2022 UEFA Champions League final, with the match instead being moved to Paris. Russia, which previously hosted the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has also been heavily linked to a potential switch from European football’s governing body UEFA to its Asian equivalent, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

Sam Kerr officially ruled out of Paris Olympic Games

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/sam-kerr-officially-ruled-out-of-paris-olympic-games/

Sam Kerr officially ruled out of Paris Olympic Games

Sam Kerr has officially been ruled out of the 2024 Paris Olympics, five months after her devastating knee injury put the Matildas superstar’s Olympic hopes in doubt.

Football Australia has confirmed Sam is out of the national soccer team’s squad for the Games.

Sam suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in January.

Following surgery and rehab since then, the Matildas left the door open to the 30-year-old making an unlikely comeback in time for the Games.

But it wasn’t to be. Football Australia said Sam would continue her rehab with her club.

Even without the Olympics, Sam has had a huge two years.

Following the Women’s World Cup in Australia, she became a household name and turned 30 last year. Sam also proposed to her pro soccer girlfriend Kristie Mewis.

The Australian athlete, who also plays for Chelsea in the English Women’s Super League, was also charged with aggravated racial harassment in the UK earlier this year.

The charges related to an alleged incident in London 12 months earlier. Sam denies the charges, which will go to trial next year.

Meanwhile, Matildas star Katrina Gorry, who’s recovering from an ankle injury, has received some better news ahead of the Paris Olympics.

Football Australia said she would “most likely” be available for Olympic selection.

The Paris Olympics begin on July 26.

Last week Football Australia announced it had won hosting rights for the 2026 edition of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, in huge news for footy fans.

Giải Vô địch Bóng đá nữ U20 châu Á 2024 (AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup 2024) khai cuộc vào ngày 3/3 tại thành phố Tashkent, Uzbekistan.Diễn ra hai năm một lần, đây là cơ hội vàng để các nữ chiến binh U20 Việt Nam cọ xát, tích lũy kinh nghiệm trước các đối thủ hàng đầu châu lục. Dù khó nói trước kết quả, người hâm mộ vẫn có thể đặt hy vọng vào một kết quả tích cực.Tất cả diễn biến của giải được tường thuật trực tiếp và độc quyền trên các nền tảng của FPT Play.Hành trình chông gaiNăm nay, giải đấu có sự góp mặt của 8 đội bóng, chia thành 2 bảng. Bảng A gồm chủ nhà Uzbekistan, Hàn Quốc, Australia và Đài Bắc Trung Hoa. U20 nữ Việt Nam chung bảng B với Nhật Bản, Trung Quốc và CHDCND Triều Tiên.Giải Vô địch Bóng đá nữ U20 châu Á 2024 mang đến cơ hội dự U20 World Cup nữ 2024 (Ảnh: Buda Mendes - FIFA/Getty).Ba đội bóng này đều đứng top đầu khu vực với nhiều cầu thủ tài năng, vượt trội về cả thể lực lẫn kỹ thuật, chiến thuật. Đơn cử như U20 Nhật Bản, đối thủ đầu tiên của các n�� "chiến binh sao vàng", hiện nắm trong tay nhiều cầu thủ nổi trội như Shinomi Koyama, Suzu Amano, Maya Hijikata, Manaka Matsukubo, Aemu Oyama… Một số đang thi đấu tại nước ngoài (Mỹ, Thụy Điển), số còn lại cũng thuộc biên chế những "lò" đào tạo có tiếng trong nước.Do đó, bảng đấu này được đánh giá là "tử thần", ẩn chứa nhiều bất lợi cho các học  trò của huấn luyện viên (HLV) Akira Ijiri. Một yếu tố khác phải tính đến là điều kiện thời tiết khắc nghiệt ở Tashkent. Mức nhiệt độ âm và mưa tuyết có thể gây ra không ít bất lợi với các cầu thủ xứ nhiệt đới.Shinomi Koyama hiện khoác áo câu lạc bộ (CLB) Djurgårdens (Thụy Điển) và từng thi đấu cho đội tuyển quốc gia Nhật Bản ở Asian Games 19 (Ảnh: Zhizhao Wu/Getty).Đây là lần thứ 6 U20 nữ Việt Nam tham dự Giải Vô địch Bóng đá nữ U20 châu Á sau các năm 2004, 2009, 2011, 2017 và 2019. Thành tích tốt nhất mà các nữ "chiến binh sao vàng" đạt được là vào tứ kết ở mùa giải 2004. Hành trình lần này có thể không dễ dàng nhưng các nữ chiến binh đang nỗ lực tập luyện để giành về kết quả tốt nhất có thể.Chiến thuật của U20 Việt NamTrước khó khăn phía trước, HLV Akira Ijiri và các học trò đã có tính toán. Để làm quen với thời tiết lạnh giá, U20 nữ Việt Nam đã quyết định đến Uzbekistan sớm 2 tuần.Tại đây, đội đã tính toán đến nhiều phương pháp như mặc thêm áo, đeo găng tay, uống trà gừng để làm ấm cơ thể. Ngoài ra, các cô gái cũng trải qua 2 trận thực chiến dưới trời mưa tuyết trước chủ nhà Uzbekistan và giành được những kết quả tích cực (1 thắng, 1 hòa).U20 nữ Việt Nam (áo tím) đá giao hữu với chủ nhà Uzbekistan dưới trời mưa tuyết tại Tashkent (Ảnh: VFF).Sự chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng được kỳ vọng giúp tuyển U20 nữ Việt Nam tự tin bước vào trận khai màn gặp Nhật Bản vào 18h ngày 4/3. Đây là đối thủ đặc biệt đáng gờm. Không chỉ là đương kim vô địch, đoàn quân HLV Michihisa Kano còn là á quân U20 World Cup nữ 2022.Nhiều khả năng U20 nữ Việt Nam sẽ duy trì khối đội hình thấp trong sơ đồ 4-5-1 quen thuộc, chú trọng trong việc phòng ngự nhiều lớp. Các cầu thủ tuyến dưới như thủ quân Bảo Trâm, Hồng Yêu hay Thanh Thảo cần hoạt động liên tục, thậm chí đá rắn để phong tỏa những tiền đạo nhanh, khéo léo và sút tốt của đối phương.Thanh Thảo (số 4) và các đồng đội cần phải tập trung cho nhiệm vụ phòng ngự (Ảnh: VFF).Trong khi đó, hàng công được đặt vào Ngọc Minh Chuyên và Vũ Thị Hoa. Minh Chuyên chơi ở vị trí tiền đạo, sở hữu khả năng dứt điểm ấn tượng và giỏi trong việc tận dụng cơ hội. Vũ Thị Hoa lại là mẫu tiền vệ có kỹ thuật cá nhân tốt và sự đột biến trong lối chơi, hoàn toàn có thể tạo ra bất ngờ. Trong một thế trận hứa hẹn bị lép vế, những tình huống chuyển đổi trạng thái để phản công hay thực hiện pha bóng cố định sẽ mang đến thời cơ cho U20 nữ Việt Nam.Một trận cầu nhiều chông gai là điều được dự báo trước. Tuy nhiên, điều quan trọng là các cầu thủ cống hiến hết sức mình và tích lũy được những bài học kinh nghiệm quý báu. Kết quả hòa hay thậm chí một trận thua không quá cách biệt có thể coi là thành công với các cô gái trẻ.Theo điều lệ, vòng bảng diễn ra với thể thức vòng tròn tính điểm một lượt. 2 đội tuyển có thành tích cao nhất mỗi bảng sẽ lọt vào bán kết, sau đó tiếp tục tìm ra 2 đội thắng để chơi trận chung kết vào ngày 16/3. Ngoài ra, 4 đội có thành tích cao nhất cũng đại diện cho châu Á góp mặt tại FIFA U20 Women's World Cup 2024 trên đất Colombia vào tháng 8.Giải Vô địch Bóng đá nữ U20 châu Á 2024 được phát trực tiếp và độc quyền trên FPT Play từ ngày 3 - 16/3.

Women s SAFF U16 C ship Will Be All About Playing Good Football, Says India Head Coach Biby Thomas

Junior Girls National Football Championships: The Indian U16 Women's team on Tuesday reached Kathmandu, Nepal for the SAFF U16 Women's Championship with head coach Biby Thomas asserting that the campaign will be all about playing good football.The Indian team travelled from the warmth of coastal Goa, where it was in a camp, to the much chillier conditions in the Nepal capital and will get just about 72 hours to get ready for their opening encounter with Bhutan. It is a very special trip for these young girls, their first journey across the border and their first time representing their nation. The next week and a half is going to be the biggest one of their young careers. Newly-appointed head coach Biby Thomas shared how the camp functioned in Goa, and how the players were selected for the tournament. "We started the camp on January 15, and the selection trial lasted 16 days. More than 60 players attended these trials, from which the list of probables was shortened to 30 players in February. Now, the final 23 have made the cut for (the) Nepal (trip). "Our scouts were present in all the Sub-Junior and Junior Girls National Football Championships, both Tier 1 and Tier 2 tournaments (held in Amritsar, Belagavi, Bhubaneswar and Jodhpur), who selected players for this batch," he said. Thomas, who was the assistant coach of India's SAFF U19 Men's Championship triumph also in Nepal last year, emphasised that it's not only about getting wins here. Player development is of supreme significance at this age. "Our camp was very fruitful. We focused on every aspect of the game because, at such a young age, you need to develop everything. If we only chase results, we can't get that development. The biggest positive from our camp is that the girls are learning quickly," the head coach told the-aiff.com. "Our focus is development, and not just winning here. Most of our players were born in 2010. The benefit of bringing such a young squad here is that going forward, this batch will have more playing experience together. Overall, the players are selected on merit, with the focus on who all can potentially grow into a top player at the senior level," explained Thomas. For now, though, all the Young Tigresses want is to play good football, enjoy their international debut and bring the SAFF U16 Women's Championship trophy home. However, this is just going to be the start, Thomas affirmed. "This tournament is very important for not just these girls, but our national team setup too because they are the future of the Indian Women's Team. But this will only be the beginning. After the SAFF, we have to concentrate on qualifying for the AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup. It's a long journey, so we need to work extra hard and the girls are doing exactly that," the head coach concluded. Read the full article
