'Decide by midnight' Bayern Munich ultimatum, Tottenham '£82m' Kane's fate imminent
Decision time. Bayern Munich have issued an ultimatum to Tottenham Hotspur to sign Harry Kane.
"Kane's future could be decided in a matter of hours," the Daily Star reported on Thursday (ET). 'Bayern Munich have given Tottenham until midnight to accept their latest offer for Kane, or the Bavarians will walk away,' the outlet reported, citing a report from the Telegraph.
Kane is the hottest thing this summer. He's the go-to goalie for Tottenham and the English Premier League (EPL). However, he has never won a title in the EPL. Kane wants it more than anyone. His contract with Tottenham expires at the end of the 2023-2024 season. He's attracting interest from the likes of Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
The Daily Star reports: "Bayern Munich are desperate to sign Kane, who is in the final year of his contract. But they are prepared to look elsewhere if Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy continues 안전놀이터 to play hardball. Bayern Munich have offered £82 million for Kane. 'Levy wants at least £86m, but if Bayern Munich back down, we may have to sell Kane for less,' he said.
Come-from-behind win C9 "We did our best to put it together in a short amount of time
After winning the Valorant Invitational in Busan, Korea, Cloud9 expressed their joy at reaching the top spot in their first tournament with a new roster.
C9 defeated DRX in the second round of the playoffs on the second day of the TEN 23 Season 'Valorant Global Invitational' at the Busan eSports Stadium in Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, on April 8, with a set score of 1-2.
The official event of the VCT off-season featured four teams: DRX and T1 from VCT Pacific, Cloud9 (hereafter C9) from VCT Americas, and EDG from VCT China, which will debut in the 2024 season. Day 1 was a round robin format with all four teams facing each other in a single set, and Day 2 was a playoff to determine the winner based on the results of the previous day's matches.
C9's Eric 'Zephyr' Bark said, "I'm very happy with this win. "I'm so happy to win this tournament," said Eric 'Zephyr' Bark, "I played well with a strong team," while Francis 'Oxy' Huang expressed his gratitude to his teammate 'Zephyr', saying, "This is my first tournament win since joining C9, and I don't think I could have done it without Zephyr's help.
Anthony 'Vanity' Malaspina shared his thoughts on the tournament, saying, "I think our play was a bit lackluster, but my teammates did a great job, so I'm happy for them," while Jake 'Jakey' Anderson and Maxim 'Whippy' 스포츠토토 Shepelev agreed, saying, "It was a close game until the end, but in the end we won, so we're looking forward to next year."
"It's great to win an event like this because of the way the team has come together and the hard work the players have put in over such a short period of time," said C9 head coach Ian Harding, adding, "The new roster is made up of players who have all had some sort of relationship with each other in the past, so we don't have a lot of issues with team chemistry. We're really looking forward to next season."
Son, Hwang go scoreless in head-to-head...Wolves come from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1
In the first "Korean Derby" of the season in the English Professional Soccer Premier League (EPL), neither Son Heung-min (Tottenham) nor Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) could find the back of the net.
In the end, it was Hwang who had the last laugh as Wolverhampton exploded for two goals in second-half stoppage time to come from behind to win.
Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan started up front for Tottenham and Wolverhampton, respectively, in their 2023-2024 EPL Round 12 clash at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on Nov. 11.
It was the first meeting of the season for Son, who has eight goals in the league this season, and Hwang, who has six.
Neither Son, who is second in the league behind top scorer Elling Holland (Manchester City-11 goals), nor Hwang, who has recorded an offensive point (four goals and two assists) in his last six official matches, were able to register a goal or an assist on the day.
The two sides played side-by-side full-time, with Wolverhampton coming from behind to win 2-1.
Wolverhampton, who snapped a two-match winless streak in the league (one draw, one loss) without the services of Pedro Neto, who leads the league in assists this season (seven), jumped to 12th place (15 points).
Tottenham remained in second place (26 points), but have lost two in a row after opening the league unbeaten (8 wins, 2 draws).
The 1-4 defeat at Chelsea in the last round was the latest in a string of defeats for Spurs, who have been hit hard by a number of injuries and suspensions.
Midfielder James Maddison and defender Micky Van der Vaart, who have been key additions to the squad this season, both went down with injuries against Chelsea, while defenders Christian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off. Striker Alexandre Lacazette also recently underwent surgery on a groin injury and will be out for a while, giving Spurs their first crisis of the season.
Tottenham were led by Son Heung-min, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski, while Wolverhampton were led by Hwang Hee-chan, Mateusz Cunha, and Jean-Luc Bellegarde.
Three minutes into the match, Tottenham struck first.
Kuluczewski opened the way with an exquisite back-heeled pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Pedro Foro's subsequent low, quick cross was finished by Johnson in front of goal.
From there, it was all Wolverhampton as they pushed for a comeback.
In the 33rd minute, Mario Lemina's right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area forced a fine save from Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
After a first half that saw Tottenham hold onto a one-goal advantage, Hwang had one crucial chance in the 10th minute of the second half.
Following a Wolverhampton corner, a strong shot from João Gomes was deflected and dropped in front of Hwang, but the South Korean's subsequent right-footed effort went wide of the right-hand post.
Tottenham then made changes, bringing on Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Hill and Giovani Rosselso, while Wolverhampton took off Matt Doherty, Sasha Kalajic, Pablo Sarabia and Tommy Doyle.
A fruitless back-and-forth ensued before Wolverhampton finally 토토사이트 broke through as the game entered second-half stoppage time.
Hwang's ball from the left flank was floated in by Cunha, and Sarabia caught it with his right foot on the left side of the goal area and struck it with his left foot to rattle the net.
Then, in second-half stoppage time, Wolverhampton pulled a goal back.
Sarabia's cross from the right flank was met by Lemina, who slid in and slotted home with his right foot to complete the comeback. Sarabia, who came on in the 42nd minute of the second half, was the man of the match with a goal and an assist in less than 10 minutes.
Mbappe to make official decision on Real soon "PSG and president not in touch"
Kylian Mbappe is expected to make a decision on his Real Madrid future soon.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano took to social media on Friday to announce that Real are confidently moving forward with the Mbappe deal, that no signature has been made and that an official decision from the player's side is expected soon, signaling the end of the Mbappe transfer saga that has been shaking up the winter.
'PSG and President Nasser Al-Khelaifi have not yet been officially contacted about this,' Romano said. 'This is an important step in Mbappe's contract,' Romano said of the current situation between Mbappe and PSG.
Mbappe had previously been linked with a move to Real after a report in France's Le Parisien. 'At Real Madrid, there is optimism about the signing of Mbappe, and negotiations are underway for the biggest contract to bring him to the club,' Le Parisien reported. The player is considering the timing of the announcement," claiming that Mbappe's move to Real is close.
Mbappe has already been linked with a move away from PSG in the past, with Real 토토사이트 having been pursuing him since 2022. However, he signed a new contract with PSG in 2022, keeping him at the club. However, Real have not given up on Mbappe and have extended an endless courtship.
As early as last summer, he fueled the Real transfer rumors himself. He announced that he would not be renewing his contract with PSG ahead of the 2023-2024 season, leading to speculation that he was preparing for a move to Real. However, a deal was never finalized at the time.
However, it has been reported that Mbappe has decided to stay at PSG until the end of the season and that Real are taking note of the positive vibes between the two clubs. 'Nothing is closed yet,' says Spanish outlet Relevo. Mbappe recently came close to agreeing to stay with PSG until 2024, and it is said that he will not renew his contract after giving up most of his bonuses. Therefore, Mbappe will keep his word. He reiterated that he would honor his contract with PSG and remain with the team until next summer. Real have taken note of this and have stated that they will not sign Mbappe if he renews his contract.
However, it seems that Mbappe's choice is closer to Real after all. According to Romano, Mbappe's decision is expected to be made soon, which could ultimately decide his future at Real.
In the meantime, Mbappe is reportedly required to inform PSG of his intentions to join Real, and with the player reportedly moving forward without informing the club, many eyes will be on PSG's response.
Man Utd to sell Sancho despite sacking Ten Haag "will sell outright this summer"
I've given up hope on Jadon Sancho. It has nothing to do with Eric ten Haag's departure.
The British publication Football Insider reported on Friday that "United will sell Sancho outright this summer, regardless of whether or not Van Gaal remains in charge. As soon as Sancho's current loan deal with Borussia Dortmund expires, they will put him on the market."
Sancho is a sore thumb for United. He was a regular at Dortmund before joining United in 2021. He was considered one of the best talents in Europe by his former teammate at Dortmund, Elling Holland.
He scored a whopping 50 goals in 137 games for Dortmund. He dominated the German Bundesliga. His stock rose as one of the best wingers in Europe.
In 2021, United acquired Sancho from Dortmund for a transfer fee of £73 million. It was a gamble on Sancho's skill and potential for growth.
The problem is that Sancho's growth stopped when he arrived at United. He never showed the quality he had at Dortmund.
Sancho hasn't gotten any playing time off the bench, let alone in the starting 안전놀이터 lineup. The number of games in which he was left out of the squad has increased. "I make the roster based on how he performs in training," Ten Haag criticized him in an oblique way.
This didn't sit well with Sancho. He took to social media to slam Ten Haag, calling him "a liar". He retorted by saying that he was flying in training.
Sancho hasn't been at United since. Van Gaal was furious. He banned him from the team's training center and even the cafeteria.
Then, in the winter transfer window, he was sent on loan to his hometown team Dortmund. At Dortmund, he really came into his own. He has two assists in eight games. He has started five of their seven Bundesliga games.
With Sancho out of the picture, the next striker United will be looking for in the summer transfer window is Victor Osimhen. According to the British publication The Independent, "United have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Osimhen this summer. They will battle PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) for his signature."
Man City Troubles Only Insist On 'Remain in Barca'
It's not easy to kick him out.
Spanish media Sport reported on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that "Manchester City (Manchester City) stopped negotiations with Arsenal and Saudi Arabia because João Cancelo (29) insisted only on staying in Barcelona."
Cancelo left Manchester City last year on loan and joined Barcelona. Due to his uncomfortable relationship with Pep Guardiola, he had no choice but to leave Manchester City as if he were kicked out again.
Recently, he confessed his disappointment to Manchester City. "Manchester City was ungrateful to me. I gave everything to Manchester City and its fans," Cancelo said.
Joining Barcelona was a turning point. Cancelo quickly became involved in Barcelona. He had four goals and four assists in 33 matches across all the tournaments this season, moving from side to side.
There is no guarantee of a future future at Barcelona. Cancelo is set to expire his contract with Barcelona in June. Barcelona does not even have a full recruitment clause.
Clubs took advantage of this opportunity to gain access to the club. Arsenal, Chelsea and 안전놀이터 Saudi Arabia showed keen interest in recruiting Cancelo ahead of the summer transfer window.
It did not appeal to Cancelo. According to the latest report, Manchester City want to sell him to the team with the highest transfer fee, while Cancelo only wants to stay in Barcelona.
After all, staying in Barcelona is considered the most promising option. Barcelona President Juan Laporta recently told the media that he wants to be with Cancelo and João Félix next season as well.
"I hope Atletico Madrid will not interfere with our continued presence with Felix. Manchester City will not block Cancelo from accompanying him," he said.
The problem is Barcelona's poor financial conditions. "Manchester City is asking for 30 million euros (43.9 billion won) for Cancelo's transfer fee. It is not an amount that Barcelona can afford," Sport said.
KIA outraged over 'three-peat ruling,' will send letter to KBO
The Kia Tigers are firmly upset.
“We will send a letter to the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) as soon as we are ready,” the club told reporters on Tuesday following a 2-4 loss in the fourth game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League against SSG Landers at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field.
The situation occurred in the top of the eighth inning, when the teams were tied 2-2. In the top of the eighth inning, Guillermo Heredia hit a hard hit ball toward the pitcher and sprinted to first base, and the first base umpire called a save.
The Kia bench protested strongly, and manager Lee Bum-ho ran onto the field to express his disappointment. Video review was immediately conducted, but the call was upheld.
Kia switched pitchers to Kim Do-hyun and the next batter, Ko Myung-joon, struck out, but Lee Ji-young's double gave them the lead. That shifted the momentum in SSG's favor, and they had to settle for a two-run deficit as the bottom of the eighth and ninth innings ended scoreless. For KIA, Heredia's violation of the three-peat line was crucial.
“At the time, manager Lee Bum-ho told the umpires about Heredia's run to the grass (inside the line) after the play and asked if they could check the video replay for the out and safe-slip line violation at the same time. They said yes, and the 토토사이트 bench requested a video review of both situations at the same time,” he explains.
“The video review center ultimately determined that there was no interference with the defense and declared that there was no infringement of the three-foot line. We are not asking for the out and save calls to be overturned. We're just asking for a letter to clarify why it wasn't a three-foot line violation. We are not satisfied,” he added.
In July of last year, the KBO sent a letter to clubs regarding the refinement of the three-foot line rule ahead of the start of the second half of the regular season. The letter stated, “From the second half of 2023, in order to maintain consistency in judgment and prevent confusion on the field, it will be declared as an obstruction of defense even if the umpire determines that the act of running inside the three-foot line clearly caused the obstruction of defense (throwing or catching) (however, the actual play must be made).
It also states, “We considered the opinion that the runner's left foot inevitably steps inside the three-foot line when stepping on the base with his right foot, and that this should be applied as an exception to the three-foot line violation, but since this is not allowed in international regulations (MLB, NPB), we will not apply it in the KBO. It is KIA's position that this was not applied to the decision.
Meanwhile, KIA, which has lost two straight games, will start Hwang Dong-ha on the 11th. SSG's starting pitcher is Roenis Elias.
Sibiontech reaches French Open tennis final
Iga Cibiontek (No. 1-Poland) has reached the women's singles final of the French Open tennis tournament (€53.5 million-$79.4 million in prize money).
Cibionte defeated Coco Goff (#3-USA) 2-0 (6-2 6-4) in the women's singles quarterfinals on day 12 of the tournament at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, on June 6.
The three-time champion of the event (2020, 2022, 2023) is looking to win her third straight title this year.
The last player to win the French Open women's singles title three years in a row was Justine Ennin (retired-Belgium) in 2007.
She will face the winner of the Jasmine Paolini (15th-Italy)-Mira Andreeva (38th-Russia) match in the final on Monday.
A win at this year's tournament would be the fifth major title of her career, as she also won the 2022 US Open.
She has won 20 consecutive French Open singles titles dating back to 2022 and 18 straight dating back to April's Madrid Open.
He also maintained his absolute dominance over Goff in the head-to-head series, winning 11-1. He had met Goff 12 times before this match, winning 23 sets and dropping only two.
The matchup between the world's No. 1 and No. 3 players was 스포츠토토 uncharacteristically easy for Civion Tech, as they cruised to victory.
After breaking Goff's first service game in the first set, Civion Tech closed out the first set 6-2 in less than 40 minutes.
Goff had a 12-2 advantage in successful attacks in the first set, but the 5-18 advantage in unforced errors was much more in favor of Cibion Tech.
In the second set, Goff was the first to break with a 2-1 lead and had a chance to take the match to a third set with a 3-1 lead.
However, Cibiontech broke Goff's serve twice in a row on the next two points to take a 4-3 lead and the match.
For the match, Civion Tech was outscored 10-27 in successful attacks, but had a 14-39 advantage in errors.
Civion Tech also had a 67%-51% advantage in first serves, forcing their opponent to make just one break.
In the mixed doubles final, which concluded earlier in the day, Edouard Roger Vasselin (FRA)-Laura Siegemund (GER) defeated Neil Skupski (GBR)-Desiree Krapchik (USA) 2-0 (6-4 7-5).
The winning mixed doubles pair will receive €120,000 (approximately $180,000) in prize money.
Agent checks, "Emilin could have gone to Man United!"
Emiliano Martinez, Argentina's first-choice goalkeeper and regarded as one of the best in the world, could have joined Manchester United last summer, according to his agent, but coach Eric Ten Haag opted for Andre Onana.
Argentina played Ecuador to a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals of the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 at NRG Stadium in Texas, USA, at 10:00 a.m. ET on June 5 and won 4-2 on penalties.
The quarterfinals were expected to be favored by Argentina. However, the game was tightly contested. Argentina took the lead in the 35th minute when Lisandro Martinez scored the game's first goal, but they didn't dominate the rest of the game and conceded a late goal in stoppage time to send the game into extra time. The game remained uneven in extra time and eventually went to penalty kicks.
In the penalty shootout, Argentina was cold. Messi was the first kicker to miss. Messi had the luxury of trying a panenka kick, but the ball hit the crossbar and didn't result in a goal. Aside from the penalty miss, Messi had little impact on the game as a whole. He had a rating of 6.6, the second-lowest on the team, according to soccer stats outlet Couch Score, and had one shot on goal, one 먹튀검증업체 순위 dribble attempt, 33 touches of the ball, and eight turnovers.
But Argentina had Emilio "Emil" Martinez. Martinez, who saved Messi's life in penalty kicks at the last World Cup, saved two penalties in the Copa to give his team the victory.
Messi thanked Martinez for being his savior. "We went one step further... We faced a really tough opponent. We made it to the quarterfinals thanks to everyone's hard work and we had the best goalkeeper in the world. Let's go, Argentina!" he said, expressing his gratitude and joy for Martinez.
Martinez, the best goalkeeper in the world, as recognized by Messi, could have left Aston Villa for Man United last summer, and his agent himself admitted it. "Last year, Martinez was very close to United," said his agent, Gonzalo Goni. However, Ten Haag chose Onana, who he knew very well. But later, everyone at United insisted that the ideal goalkeeper they should have signed was Martinez."
Korea women's table tennis defeats Sweden to reach semifinals
South Korea's women's table tennis team has beaten Sweden to reach the quarterfinals. They will next face China, who are the favorites, but they can still dream of a medal if they can overcome the odds.
The South Korean team of Shin Yoo-bin, Lee Eun-hye (Korean Air) and Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities) defeated Sweden 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the women's team event at the South Paris Arena in France on Saturday (June 6). With the win, South Korea advanced to the quarterfinals and will play the winner of the China-Taiwan matchup in the next block for a spot in the final.
It was a repeat of Game 16. Shin Yoo-bin and Jeon Jeon-hee took the first doubles match against Philippa Bergand and Christina Calveri to take a 3-0 (11-2, 11-7, 11-5) lead. They dominated the first game 11-2 and briefly gave up a 6-6 tiebreak in the second game before turning it around. With the lead in hand, Shin Yubin-Jeon Hee tried to stem the tide by calling a timeout, but the duo continued their run, winning the third game 11-7 without any major upsets.
At second singles, Lee Eun-hye was up next. Against Swedish ace Linda Verström (World No. 32), Lee came from behind to win 3-1 (2-11, 11-4, 12-10, 13-11).
Lee was down 1-5 in the first game and struggled to find her groove, surrendering the match to Verström in a one-sided affair. Verström, who had also secured a win over powerhouse Hong Kong, used her solid defense to push and cook Lee. However, Eun Hye Lee slowed down the pace in game two and used her backhand defense to take control. In a tense game three, Lee won a deuce and capitalized on her 메이저사이트 opponent's back-to-back errors to take the game.
Game 4 was another deuce battle. With the score tied at 11-11, Lee scored the first point with an unforced error, and then rallied back to take the final point to secure the second singles victory.
Jeon Ji-hee wrapped things up. At third singles, Jeon came from behind to defeat Christina Calveri 3-1 (8-11, 13-11, 11-7).
She dropped the first game 8-11 but battled back in the second game. With the score tied at 7-7, Yeon-dal scored two points on an unforced error and then hit a powerful topspin attack to set up a game point. Calvert fought back and held deuce again. However, Jeon regained the lead with a backhand topspin winner and then easily collected the final point to clinch the two-game victory.
With a valuable game point in hand, Jeon dominated game three. After taking a 4-1 lead with a long attacking shot, Jeon took control of the game. With fast-paced attacks and long serves, she pressured Calvere and took the third game on an unforced error. He broke Calvere's momentum and broke back in game four with a forehand topspin and an unforced error. With the momentum in his favor, he ran away with it, driving in the wedge and securing the final game of the match.
