Tottenham Hotspur star and longtime South Korean national team captain Son Heung-min is one of four overseas players who will begin their service on Tuesday. Son Heung-min played in the Premier League Football match against Watford, which kicked off at 10 p.m. KST on Sunday.

Son scored the winning goal in Tottenham's 1-0 win and will move up to the national team with two goals in three Premier League Football games in his young season.

However, Fenerbahce's last league match kicked off at 3:45 KST on Monday. Kim will not arrive in South Korea until Tuesday evening. Striker/midfielder Hwang Hee-chan, who was loaned by RB Leipzig to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, will also arrive at the training camp on Tuesday.

Gamba Osaka midfielder Ju Se-jong has been selected to replace Jung. Among others reporting for duty on Monday was striker Cho Guisheng, who was called up to the senior national team for the first time. He has made 11 appearances for the U23 national team, scoring four goals.

The most important thing for me will be to mingle with the rest of the team, said Cho, who plays for second-tier military club Kimcheon Sangmu. I will try to find out what my teammates want and adjust my game accordingly. Midfielder Lee Dong-Kyung of K-League leaders Ulsan Hyundai FC will try to add to his four caps.

He scored a header in Ulsan's 3-2 win over Incheon United on Sunday and was called up to the senior national team after representing South Korea at the Tokyo Olympics last month. I'm in good shape and will try to make the most of every opportunity that comes my way, Lee said. It's been a busy year, but I don't feel tired at all. As a soccer player, I'm happy to be playing.

We will do our best to protect our turf no matter who takes the job in the nets.

I think the fans are looking forward to the upcoming games, and we're equally excited to see what we can do for the fans. Head coach Paulo Bento has the task of turning the players, who have only a few precious days to train fully, into winners.

South Korea is heavily favored against these two upcoming opponents, and the lack of training time should not be used as an excuse for poor performance. South Korea is ranked 36th in the current FIFA rankings, 34 spots ahead of Iraq and 62 spots ahead of Lebanon. South Korea has 7 wins, 11 draws, and 2 losses against Iraq, and both of those defeats date back to the 1980s.

Xavi returns: “Barça should be the best”

토토 사이트, 카지노 사이트, 파워볼 사이트, 온라인 카지노, 토토먹튀,파워볼먹튀,카지노먹튀 

 Midfielder Xavi Hernandez (41), who was a key player when Barcelona, ​​a prestigious Spanish La Liga club, dominated European professional football, returned to his hometown as a manager after six years.

Coach Xavi attended his coach's inauguration ceremony held at Camp Nou, the home stadium of Barsa on the 8th (local time). In front of about 10,000 fans gathered at the stadium, he said, “We are not getting results. A lot of things need to be improved,” he said. Barca is currently in ninth place with 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in 12 La Liga matches. “I was taught from a young age that Barça should always win. We have to know where we are.”

Coach Xavi, who has been coaching Korean national team midfielder Jung Woo-young (31) at Al Sadd in Qatar, canceled his contract with Al-Sad during the season when Barça reached out his hand. However, concerns and anticipation are pouring out over the prospect of entrusting him with the world's most famous manager Barça, who has only been in his coaching career for only three years.

During the press conference that lasted for about an hour, coach Chabi chose to restore order within the squad as a priority. It is pointed out that the atmosphere inside the locker room is broken. “When there are rules in the locker room, things work out,” he said. If you don't, things won't work out." He pointed out, "It's a matter of order, not discipline." This is interpreted as meaning that senior players such as Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets should play a role.

He also gave an exceptionally cold evaluation to each of the current players. He commented on midfielder Pablo Gabby, who has recently emerged as Spain's top prospect, "I was surprised by his outstanding performance," but said of winger Usman Dembele, who rarely plays due to frequent injuries, he said, "I can be the best in the world at my position, but mental and injured. , the level of activity depends on the person himself.”

The sports media The Athletic explained, "It is surprising that the new manager is immediately involved in the issue of reorganization of the squad." The media said, "In the past, former coaches such as Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setien and Ronald Koeman had little say in the issue of signing and releasing players. Xavi's actions are a sign that he is aware of his power as a club legend (unlike his predecessors)."

FIFA World Cup 2022- Messi’s move to PSG a coup for Qatar before Football World Cup 2022

Argentina and Brazil played a friendly match in Qatar in November 2010. Lionel Messi, then 23, was already a global soccer superstar and Ballon d'Or winner, while Neymar, then an 18-year-old global star, was on the pitch at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. More than a decade later and a year before the biggest sporting event ever held in Qatar, the two will now play together for a club owned by Qatar.

Fans from all over the world are called to book Football world Cup tickets from our online platforms WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com. Football World Cup fans can book Argentina Football World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

                        Messi's move to Paris Saint-Germain following his departure from Football Club Barcelona appears to be the final piece of the puzzle for the Qatari flagship club on their way to winning the coveted Champions League. But that's not all. In November 2022, Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup 2022. Throughout his time at Football Club Barcelona, Messi played and won titles in a jersey inscribed with Qatar Foundation and Qatar Airways, but this is much bigger.

Messi playing for a club owned by Qatar and winning a trophy was the biggest promotion the small oil-rich nation could have hoped for. When Messi played for their country in 2010, the Qataris probably wouldn't have even thought of it just weeks before they won the bid to host the Football World Cup. Qatar starts funding Football Club Barcelona through the Qatar Foundation, becoming the first-named sponsor in the club's history to seem on the front of a player's jersey.

The Messi deal is not just about Messi. Professor Simon Chadwick, director of the Eurasian Sports Centre at Emlyon Business School in France, said minutes after PSG confirmed Messi's signing that it was about Qatar and 2022. It is a very important year for Qatar because of the Football World Cup, and if PSG wins the Champions League Football in May, it would be an important milestone in Qatar's development as a country.

As the Champions League for PSG, the Football World Cup is difficult for Messi to achieve. Messi will be 35 years old by the Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar, and this could be his last chance to win it. However, there is no need to worry about his age. Age has not slowed him down. In July this year, Messi lifted his first trophy for Argentina after a long season with Football Club Barcelona when he led his team to the Copa America title.

Messi's quest to win the Football World Cup and become immortal in the sport is a story that fits perfectly with Qatar, which like every other tournament organizer before it, is trying to capture the hearts and minds of the world. His arrival comes some eight months after the resumption of diplomatic relations between the rest of the Middle East and Qatar. But signing the Argentine ahead of Manchester City, who is in Abu Dhabi, was a clear commitment to PSG's ownership, and City was the only club that could afford him.

Diplomatic relations

Diplomatic affairs have been restored, but Qatar and the UAE are still not that friendly, and getting Messi ahead of Manchester City is a sign of great things to come; a trump card ahead of the Football World Cup. Messi's two-year contract with PSG expires six months after the Football World Cup in Qatar. But Dorsey said Qatar would reap the rewards by then.

Looking ahead to after the Football World Cup, there is no doubt that soccer makes a lot of sense as soft power. There are few major events, but there are many opportunities for soft power in Europe, such as winning the UEFA Champions League. Qatar will try to build on that, and the next step, of course, will be to try to host the Olympics.

Chadwick believes it was inevitable that Messi would sign with PSG. This goes back to 2010 friendly and the start of Barca's sponsorship by Qatar after winning the Football World Cup. Since then, Barca's revolutionary coach Pep Guardiola has been Qatar's ambassador for 2022, while Barcelona midfielder Javi Hernandez decided to finish his career in Qatar and also became a Football World Cup ambassador and coach at Qatari club Al Sadd. Neymar and Lionel Messi are now reunited in Paris.
