Manchester United have re-entered the race to sign Jared Branswaite, according to reports.

“The Red Devils have reopened negotiations for Branswaite,” Football Insider reported on Wednesday. United have submitted a new bid worth £60 million ($105 million),” Football Insider reported.

Branswaite is a 2002-born defender from Everton. Despite his young age, he has excellent skills. He is quick on his feet, covers a lot of ground in defensive coverage, and helped stabilize Everton’s defense last season.

As soon as the transfer window opened this summer, he was of great interest to United. With Raphael Varane’s departure as a free agent, a void was created and United quickly approached Branswaite. Despite reaching a personal agreement, negotiating a transfer fee with Everton was not easy. Everton demanded a transfer fee of around £130-140 million, which United were unwilling to pay. United’s two bids were quickly rejected by Everton.

In the end, United brought in two center backs after pulling out of the Branswaite deal. They brought in 18-year-old supernova Lenny Yoro, who has been performing well in the French Ligue 1, and confirmed the signing of Bayern Munich’s Mathias de Ligt.

With two center backs in place, United are apparently not satisfied. As reported by the media, a new offer has been finalized. After keeping Branswaite, they want to sell 파워볼사이트 추천 another center back. “The potential signing of three center-backs has left the futures of several United players in doubt. United have informed Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof that they could leave the club in the summer transfer window.” Lindelof has been heavily linked with a move away from the club due to his lack of game time last season and frequent injuries.

If United have made a third offer for Branswaite, they don’t seem to be giving up. That’s how badly they want Branswaite.

However, Everton have no intention of letting him go. According to the Daily Mail, Everton will offer him a new contract to keep him. The negotiations are expected to be difficult as Brannwright wants the same weekly wages as United, but Everton”s stance is firm.

“I have to eat.”

Kia Tigers’ Jung Hae-young (23) pitched the bottom of the ninth inning with a 2-0 lead against the Kiwoom Heroes in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Gocheok Sky Dome on Wednesday. After getting leadoff hitter Song Sung-moon to fly out to left field, Choi Joo-hwan to ground out to second base, and Lim Byung-wook to fly out to left field, Jung preserved the win. It was her first save since returning from injury. It was Jung’s 22nd save of the season, 54 days after her last appearance on June 20 against LG Electronics.

Jung suffered a shoulder injury ahead of the All-Star Game. On June 23, he complained of shoulder pain while pitching in Game 1 of a doubleheader against Hanhwa in Gwangju. Initially expected to return at the start of the second half, Jung rejoined KIA later than expected. Without their closer, the Kia struggled to manage the mound late in the game, forcing other pitchers to fill the void.

After returning to health, Jung was used as a late-inning reliever instead of a closer. Manager Lee Beom-ho wanted to give Jung-young time to get her game feel. In her comeback game against KT on the 6th, Jung earned the hold with ⅔ innings of one-hit, one-strikeout ball, and no runs, then picked up her pace with one inning of one-hit, one-strikeout ball against KT on the 8th and one inning of one-hit, one-strikeout ball against Samsung Electronics on the 11th. And finally, Jeong Jung-young, who was finally back to full health, picked up a thrilling save against Kiwoom.

After the game, Jung said, “I’m not used to pitching in the ninth inning. However, I was nervous because it had been so long. But I’m glad I was able to finish well. The more I throw, the better my body feels. Now I need to do better reinforcement exercises to avoid getting injured,” he said.

Jeon Sang-hyun pitched the final inning while Jeong was out and took charge of the Kia back door. Jung said, “I really supported the team. Baseball is a team sport. The pitchers on the roster work together, so I always supported Jeon Sang-hyun,” Jung said.

During his rehabilitation, he tried to prevent the pain from returning. It was important for him to be pain-free so that he could follow his comeback plan normally. “I need to be pain-free to throw the ball,” Jung said. I focused on recovering as much as possible. I did therapy. As soon as I was pain-free, I was ready to play,” Jung reflected on her rehabilitation process. “I’m in the same shape as I was before the injury. I felt good in my first pitch. I think my velocity will increase. I’ll have to prepare well,” he said, adding that he is confident of his health.

She plans to focus more on strengthening exercises to prevent the injury from recurring. “I don’t think it’s good to 토토사이트 순위 have too many routines, and it’s hard to stick to a routine because I’m a middle reliever,” Jung said. Unlike starting pitchers, middle relievers can pitch with one out, and they can also enter the game with two outs. It’s my homework. I will pay more attention to reinforcement exercises.”

Initially, Jung’s goal this season was to pitch full-time and not record blown saves. Injuries have prevented her from playing full-time and she has already recorded three blown saves, so she has readjusted her goals. Jung will focus solely on protecting her team’s victories. Despite being ranked second in saves, five behind leader Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung Lions), Jung is not greedy.

“I’m not greedy for saves. My goal before the season was to play full-time and not make blown saves. I’ve already realized my goals. I have to prepare with the mindset that I will play all the remaining games. My teammates did a great job while I was away. Now I’ve got to put food on the table. I’m not going to be greedy for the top spot in saves. I was out for more than five weeks with an injury. If I get greedy, the injury might come back. It’s more important to make sure I don’t get injured anymore. I will always put the team first,” he said.

With the heat exceeding 35 degrees Celsius every day, keirin athletes are competing fiercely, and the first grand prize competition of the second half of the year, the 16th Sports Keirin Grand Prize Competition, will be held at Misari Keirin Stadium on the 21st and 22nd. The top 12 average scorers from the last 18th through 32nd races have qualified for this year’s event. After qualifying through 14-15 races on the 21st, the 15th race on the 22nd will determine the winner of the trophy and 10 million won in prize money.

■Most recent winner, Shim Sangchul, and previous year’s winner, Kim Minjoon, in the spotlight

The ‘Emperor of Kyungjeong’ Shim Sang-cheol (7th, A1) has won all five of his appearances at this event. He won his first title in 2010, and then won four consecutive titles from 2015 to 2018. He is a strong favorite to win again this year.

Kim Min-joon (13th, A1), who was at the top of his game last year, winning 48 games and becoming the first player to win multiple titles in his career, will also be looking to repeat. Kim has been on a roll lately, especially after winning this event last year and the Grand Prix at the end of the year.

Shim Sang-chul and Kim Min-joon are currently tied for the most wins with 35, so expect a fierce competition between them in this tournament.

Park Won-kyu and Kim Min-chun break the runner-up jinx

Players who have finished runner-up in the past are also vowing to win the title this time around. First of all, Park Won-kyu (14th grade, A1) competed in this tournament last year with six courses, but he was the runner-up. His average score of 8.59 points in the last six tournaments is higher than Shim Sang-chul, the ‘strongest player in the competition’. With his recent surge in form, it will be interesting to see if he can capitalize on his strong first turn to take the title.

Kim Min-chun (2nd, A1), who reached the final of this event in 2007 and 2011 and finished runner-up on the second course in 2011, is also a force to be reckoned with. He has been in such good form lately that he can be described as in his ‘second prime’. He won his last major tournament, the National Sports Promotion Organization’s Jangjangbae Wangjungwang, for the first time in 13 years, and has finished in the top 10 in all but one of his 12 tournaments since July. With this momentum, he is aiming to win this tournament as well.

Kim Ji-hyun and Han Sung-geun aim for first win in first outing

When it comes to the best female keirin players in recent years, 11th-ranked Kim Ji-hyun is at the top of the list. She has already won 18 matches this year, setting a new personal record for most wins. She has recently shown good results even when assigned to the 안전놀이터 outside (No. 5 or 6), such as winning the Sports World Cup runner-up in April and the May Queen’s Special Competition in May, and is expected to perform well again.

Han Sung-geun, who finished third at the National Sports Promotion Organization’s Jangjangbae Wangjungwang at the end of June, will also be looking for his first win at the Hoshitamtam Grand Prix. No matter which course he is assigned to, from 1 to 6, Han has shown his ability to run a stable race with a good start.

In addition, Cho Sung-in (12, A1), who showed his best performance last year but faltered a bit in the first half of the year, has regained his form and has a chance to compete, while veterans Jeong Min-soo (1, A1) and Jang Young-tae (1, A2), as well as Jeong Kyung-ho (7, A2), Park Jin-seo (11, A1), and Lee Joo-young (3, A1), have also been named to the qualifying list for the Sporting Goods Grand Prix.

In this regard, Lee Seo-beom, an expert member of ‘Kyungjeong Korea’, a forecasting magazine, said, “It is expected that the competition will be fierce from the qualifying rounds as the best players in recent years will be competing.” “Kyungjeong fans will also have a lot of fun watching the race,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Gyeongneung Gyeongjeong General Headquarters will hold a free admission event at the Misari Gyeongjeong Headquarters during the three-day special competition period from the 13th to the 15th and the sports festival from the 21st to the 22nd.

The Lotte Giants’ top rookie, Jeon Mir, who was expected to be the Rookie of the Year in the first half of the season, may have to wait for next season.

“It may be difficult for him to return this year,” Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung told reporters on Wednesday before the team’s game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil was canceled due to rain.

Jeon, a two-hitting standout at Gyeongbuk High School, entered the professional ranks with a bang after being selected by Lotte with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 KBO draft. In spring training, a plan was decided to focus solely on pitchers other than Lee Do-ryu, and early in the season, he was selected as a must-win pitcher trusted by manager Kim Tae-hyung and took the mound in winning situations, showing a boldness uncharacteristic of a 19-year-old. After a zero ERA in March, he went 1-0 with a 4.63 ERA in April and 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in May.

Perhaps because he pitched so hard in April and May, Jeon faltered in June with a 14.40 ERA in two losses as fatigue set in. In seven games, he gave up a whopping eight earned runs in five innings.

On June 15 against the LG Twins in Jamsil, Jeon took a break and was diagnosed with cumulative elbow fatigue after a medical examination. In addition, his mental state was also devastated by a series of setbacks in his rookie season, and he focused on physical and mental recovery in Sangdong.

It’s been two months since he was expunged from the first team. On September 13, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, “I’m not sure he’ll be back for the expansion roster (September 1). There are still reports of irritation in his elbow,” Kim lamented.

Mentally, he also reportedly still hasn’t recovered. Kim said, “Jeon Mir is not confident right now. “I think he prepared himself for this year, but his confidence has gone down so 카지노 커뮤니티 much,” Kim said. “He was panting on the mound and couldn’t breathe, so I told him, ‘Don’t show that. You’re giving yourself a sign that you’re nervous,’” he said.

We also heard Kim’s plans for Yoon Sung-bin, who was sent back down to the second team after giving up five runs in one inning against the Incheon SSG Landers last month.

“Right now, I don’t have Yoon Sung-bin on my mind,” Kim said, adding, “It’s not just about fighting batters on the mound. When he gets a runner on first base, he has a quick motion that gives him all the stolen bases, and he makes some pitches. I told him to start over in the second inning. He doesn’t look intelligent when he’s playing baseball,” he said bitterly.

Meanwhile, the game was canceled due to localized heavy rains that started an hour before the scheduled start time. The managers of both teams announced that Jordan Balajovic (Doosan) and Kim Jin-wook (Lotte), who were scheduled to start on Thursday, will continue to pitch.

Mark Cucurella reportedly mocked Elling Holland in his victory celebration.

Spain defeated England 2-1 in the European Football Association (UEFA) Euro 2024 final at the Olympiastadion Berlin in Berlin, Germany, at 4 a.m. ET on Friday. With their fourth Euro title, Spain became the most decorated team in the history of the tournament.

The ‘Invincibles’ were among the favorites to win Euro 2024. Leading up to the tournament, Spain kicked off their Euro campaign with a pair of 10-goal blowout wins over Andorra and Northern Ireland in two friendlies in June. They were drawn in the ‘Group of Death’ alongside Croatia, Italy, and Albania, and were heavily favored.

It was one of their best performances throughout the tournament. Spain won all three of its matches, keeping the only clean sheet in the group, and reached the round of 16 as the group’s top seed. They followed that up with a 4-1 win over Georgia, the tournament’s ‘surprise’ team, and a 2-1 extra-time victory over hosts Germany in the quarterfinals. They also came from behind to beat France 2-1 in the semifinals to reach the final.

The game was played in an evenly matched fashion with England. Neither side had a shot on target until just before first-half stoppage time, but Spain took the lead two minutes into the second half when Nico Williams rattled the post. England equalized in the 28th minute of the second half through Cole Palmer, but the momentum 메이저사이트 gradually shifted in Spain’s favor, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring the winner in the 41st minute to seal the victory.

The win marks Spain’s first Euro title in 12 years, since their last victory at Euro 2012, and they are now tied with Germany as the most decorated team at the tournament with three titles, but with this victory, they have now won four.

During Spain’s victory celebration after the game, Cucurella’s song became the talk of the town. According to the British publication Sports Bible, Cucurella poked fun at Holland during the celebration. “Cucurella’s eating paella, Cucurella’s drinking beer, Holland’s shaking because Cucurella’s coming,” he sang in a video released by the outlet.

The country did not participate in Euro 2024. The Nordic nation hasn’t qualified for a World Cup or Euro tournament in the 14 years since Euro 2000, having repeatedly failed to qualify for the knockout stages. Holland took a vacation during the last World Cup in Qatar 2022 and has been spotted relaxing at a resort during Euro 2024.

In the Wimbledon men’s singles final, second-seeded Novak Djokovic (Serbia) was defeated in straight sets by third-seeded Carlos Alcaraz (Spain), 2-6 2-6 6-7(4). It was Alcaraz’s second straight loss of the tournament.

In each set, Djokovic was broken twice in his own game. Djokovic evened the score at 4-5 in the third set, breaking his opponent’s game for the first time, but lost his fourth championship point in the tiebreak to close out the match in two hours and 27 minutes.

After failing to defend his opening game, which took 14 minutes, Djokovic completely surrendered the match to his opponent.

“Today I was far behind my opponent on the court. Carlos was a better player than me from start to finish. Every shot was better than mine.”

The pair also met in last year’s final, which Djokovic lost narrowly, 2-3. “Last year, it was a close five-setter. This year was completely different, but it’s all down to him (Alcaraz). He dominated the court with overwhelming power and deserved to win.” Djokovic took the defeat in stride.

“I didn’t feel good in the first game, he was ready to fight from the beginning and I think he was playing at his best level right from the start of the match. Last year, I got off to a good start and won the first set in a good mood, but today it was the other way around, he was ready from the start.”

Djokovic, who injured his knee in the fourth round at Roland Garros, underwent surgery shortly after withdrawing from the quarterfinals, but returned to Wimbledon just over three weeks later. As part of his recovery, he did not play in the grass-court outposts, instead preparing with practice matches.

“Of course, my preparation was not normal. The injury obviously affected me, especially in the first few matches, but I somehow managed to overcome it, and as the tournament progressed, I felt better and better. But today I felt like he was at least half a step ahead of me in everything.”

The 37-year-old Djokovic, who was bidding to win his 25th Grand Slam title, is 18-6 in seven tournaments this season, which is a far cry from his previous form. He enters the tournament without a final since 2018, when a right elbow injury sidelined him for an extended period and knocked him out of the top 10.

Although he lost in the final, Djokovic is 안전놀이터 back to winning ways and is looking forward to the challenge of defending his Paris Olympic tennis gold and US Open title.

“I hope I can give my best performance in these two tournaments. I hope I can compete for a medal for my country. But for that to happen, I need to play much better than I did today,” she said. Alcaraz and Ciner are the best this year. I don’t think I’m up to their level,” Djokovic said.

“I’ll try. It’s not like I haven’t experienced it before. I always stand up in the face of adversity, learn from it and become stronger. That’s what I’m going to do.”

“As for coming back here, I definitely want to do that, I don’t think this is my last Wimbledon at this point. I don’t have any limits in my head. As long as I feel like I can play at this high level, I want to keep going.”

‘Another poke in the eye’ or a serious signing?

Tottenham Hotspur have added another player to their ‘shopping cart’.

The Spurs, who have been on a summer transfer spree but have yet to make any significant signings, are now interested in Italian Serie A forward Federico Chiesa, 27, of Juventus. There have been no concrete negotiations, but the competition for the player is fierce.

Tottenham have opened talks to sign a £20 million striker who was once considered one of the best in Europe, according to British outlet TBR Football. A striker is currently a top priority for Tottenham. It’s clear that they don’t want to repeat last season’s struggles without a clear-cut frontman.

However, there are only a few names that have been floating around the transfer market. In the midst of all this, a new name has emerged that hasn”t been mentioned by local media. Juventus’ Chiesa. “Tottenham have made an approach for Juventus winger Chiesa, who was once tipped to be one of the best in Europe,” the outlet said, citing a report from Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport.

Italian media outlets have suggested that Chiesa is likely to leave Juventus this summer. AS Roma are said to be 온라인카지노사이트 interested, but Chiesa would prefer a move abroad. With his contract expiring next season, his asking price has dropped considerably.

Currently, Kiesa’s asking price is estimated to be around £25 million. That’s a very attractive price. Once called Juventus’ “best crack,” Chiesa would be a great addition to any team.

Chelsea and Manchester United are the two clubs currently interested in Chiesa. For United, a swap deal for Jadon Sancho is a possibility.

However, Tottenham have also entered the fray. Spurs are also interested in Eberezi Eze and Pedro Neto, and they’ve added Kiesa to their list of potential suitors. Having multiple targets isn’t necessarily a good sign. It could mean they end up with no one. It remains to be seen if Tottenham will be able to reap the rewards.

Even with Jesse Lingard’s support, England couldn’t come out on top.

England fell 1-2 to Spain in the European Football Association (UEFA) Euro 2024 final at the Olympiastadion Berlin in Berlin, Germany, at 4 a.m. ET on Friday. It was England’s second consecutive Euro runner-up finish after Euro 2020.

Ahead of the match, Lingard took to social media to wish England victory. “Come on mates, bring it (the trophy) home,” he wrote, alongside a photo of him with the England national team. Also pictured with Lingard were Euro 2024 squad members Brockayo Sakho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Jude Bellingham.

But even with Lingard’s encouragement, England couldn’t overcome Spain. England conceded an early goal through Nico Williams. Cole Palmer equalized from mid-range, but Mikel Oyarzabal gave them the lead. The game ended in a 1-2 defeat for England. England fell to their knees with the trophy on the line.

England also reached the final of Euro 2020. Their opponent was Italy, and the match was tight. England and Italy were tied at one goal apiece and the game went to penalty kicks. However, England lost in the penalty shootout as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Xhaka missed. England had to settle for runners-up at Euro 2024 after Euro 2020.

England is the dominant soccer nation. However, England hasn’t lifted a major trophy in a long time. England’s last 카지노사이트 추천 victory was the 1966 World Cup in England. Since then, they haven’t won in almost 60 years.

Before the tournament started, England fans had high expectations. The prevailing opinion was that this was England”s chance to break the drought. This was certainly possible. England had Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Bellingham, and Declan Rice, all of whom were outstanding for their respective clubs last season. This England team has been called the greatest golden generation ever. However, this golden generation didn’t make it to the top.

Lingard, on the other hand, came through the age groups and was called up to the A team in 2015. He made his A-match debut in October 2016 against Malta and was part of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Lingard was a key player at the World Cup. However, Lingard did not make the national team after 2022 and is currently playing for FC Seoul.

It was a ‘Mega Giants Four’ as much as a ‘Mega Twins Four’. Lotte won a come-from-behind victory in a wild game to record its fourth consecutive winning series.

Lotte won the home game of the 2024 Baseball World Series against Kiwoom at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Wednesday, 18-10, after a wild game in which both teams combined for 33 hits. Lotte, which finished the three-game series with two wins after one loss, has posted four consecutive winning series since a three-game sweep by Hanwha on April 28-30, signaling that it is back on track. They remain in eighth place with a 28-2 record, but are only 0.5 games behind seventh-place Hanwha.

The bats of both teams exploded on this day, with Lotte pounding out 21 hits and Kiwoom 12.

Lotte took a 4-2 lead through four innings, but the Kiwoom bats exploded in the top of the fifth. In the top of the fifth, Song Sung-moon’s double and Ko Young-woo’s sacrifice fly tied the game at 4-4. In the top of the sixth, Kim Gun-hee doubled with the bases loaded to make it 5-4. Then, Ronnie Dawson, Kim Hye-sung, and Song Sung-moon hit three consecutive singles in a 1-3 at-bat that started with an infield single by Lee Joo-hyung, and another sacrifice fly by Ko Young-woo in a 2-3 at-bat that gave Kiwoom a 9-4 lead.

But in the bottom of the sixth, Lotte’s bats exploded for more. After Son Ho-young and Victor Reyes singled, Na Seung-yeop walked, and Lee Jung-hoon grounded out to first base to load the bases with no outs, LOTTE scored two runs on a single by Park Seung-wook and a double by Yoo Kang-nam and an error by Kiwoom right fielder Lee Joo-hyung to bring both runners home to cut the deficit to 8-9, one run. LOTTE then scored three more runs on a double by Hwang Seung-bin, a triple by Ko Seung-min, and an RBI single by Son Ho-young to make it 11-9.

The LOTTE batting lineup, now properly fired up, exploded once again in the bottom of the seventh to effectively end 스포츠토토 the game. After Park Seung-wook singled with the bases loaded, Yoo Kang-nam drew a walk to put runners on first and second, and Jeong Hoon, who came in to pinch-hit, blasted a three-run home run to extend the lead to 15-9. A walk, hit by pitch and a groundout later, a wild pitch and Reyes’ two-run homer plated three runs to make it 18-9.

For Lotte, Ko Seung-min was one home run shy of a cycle hit, but still went 3-for-6 with three RBIs. The LOTTE center field lineup of Son Ho-young (5-for-3, 1 RBI, 1 run), Reyes (5-for-3, 2 RBI, 3 runs), and Na Seung-yeop (5-for-3, 2 RBI, 1 run) combined to go 15-for-9 with 5 RBI and 5 runs scored. With both Lotte starter Na Gyun-an (five innings, four runs) and Kiwoom starter Jeong Chan-heon (four innings, four runs) unimpressive, Lotte’s Koo Seung-min took the mound in the top of the sixth inning and pitched 0.2 innings of one-run ball to earn the win.

Kim Taek-yeon, 19, the new closer for the Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO), has secured a save on day one.

Kim took the mound against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on Wednesday, the same day he was named the starting closer by Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop. With Doosan leading 8-0 through five innings, it looked like his chances were slim, but when Hanwha rallied late in the game, Kim came in to put out the fire and secure a 9-6 victory for his team.

After Hanwha’s Moon Hyun-bin hit a two-run triple to cut the lead to 9-5 in the top of the ninth inning, Kim began to warm up and took over the mound from Kim Myung-shin with the bases loaded and the score 9-6. After getting a first-pitch slider off Kim for a strike, Kim used two fastballs for a one-pitch, two-strike at-bat and then a slider for a swinging strike to end the game.

It was Kim’s third save of the season. His previous two saves came in relief when the closer was resting or shaky. However, this was the first time he secured a team win as the primary closer.

“I felt responsible for closing the game, but I decided to pitch like I always do in the seventh and eighth innings,” said Kim, who met with the media after the game with his save memorabilia. “Even though I thought I was pitching in the ninth inning, I tried to take on the responsibility of not having a pitcher behind me.”

Kim added, “It was a little different because I was actually the closer. But I pitched with the same mindset, and it worked out well,” Kim added. He also said that pitching in the ninth inning with runners on second and first with a three-run lead put his mind at ease, saying, “Even though the score was three runs, it was good to think that even if it was a 토토사이트 big hit, there was still one run left, and it was two outs, so I thought I should throw boldly.”

Kim received a lot of encouragement from her coaches and seniors. Coach Lee Seung-yeop emphasized his responsibility by saying, “When Kim Taek-yeon takes the mound, he should have the mindset that Doosan will win.” Hong Gun-hee, who handed over the closing baton, also encouraged him, saying, “Don’t be sorry, be confident, and don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.”

“The team could be winning for three hours and then lose in one minute (because of the closer),” Kim said, adding, “There will be days when we lose because of me, but I think we need to be prepared for those tough days.”

The Doosan Bears are looking forward to Kim’s performance as their new closer.
