   “A paving stone to the national team”. “Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has been appointed as Red Bull's global head of soccer,” RedBall Sports reported on Sept. 9. The appointment confirms Klopp's comments that he will not return to coaching. “Today is my last day as head coach,” Klopp said at an international coaches' congress in Würzburg, Germany, in July. It was not an impulsive decision, it was a normal decision. And I have managed the best club in the world. For now, there is nothing about a return to coaching. We'll see in a few months, but nothing has been decided yet. I want to help people with my experience and connections,” he said, denying a return to coaching but leaving the door open for a return in another capacity. Klopp has made his mark in the German Bundesliga and English Premier League. In the Bundesliga, he led Dortmund's “Bee Army” to establish the Gegenpress and play attacking soccer to beat Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga and rea

  'The next Messi' Ramin Yamal's secret to success may not be talent, but a competitive drive. Yamal has been in the news lately. Barcelona cruised to a 3-0 victory over Alaves in the ninth round of the 2024-2025 Spanish Primera Liga at the Mendizorrocha Stadium in Vitoria, Spain, on Saturday (June 6). Behind a hat trick from Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona remained in first place with an 8-1-1 record and 24 points. There was a controversial moment during the match. With a 3-0 lead, head coach Hanzi Flick took Yamal off in the 23rd minute of the second half and brought on Ansou Fathi. While on the bench, Yamal expressed his frustration by throwing his shinguard to the ground. Some media outlets commented on Yamal's behavior, saying that he didn't seem to realize that he was making a choice for himself. Yamal is undoubtedly a top talent. Since emerging as a Barcelona starter last season, he has become a supernova in the eyes of all of Europe with his incredible talent,

  Tottenham's shocking come-from-behind defeat has prompted a journalist to question manager Ange Postecoglou's ability to cope. Tottenham journalist Alasdair Gold took to his YouTube channel on Monday (Sept. 9) to recap the 2-3 come-from-behind loss to Brighton in the seventh round of the English Premier League (EPL) and criticized Postecoglou's handling of the situation. “Postecoglou doesn't seem to believe in making early changes unless absolutely necessary, but this was one of those moments where action was needed,” Gold said, adding that there were moments in the second half when Spurs lost control of the game. Tottenham were cruising to their sixth straight win in six games at Brighton, leading 2-0 at half-time thanks to back-to-back goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. However, three consecutive goals in the second half led to a shock defeat. The loss halted Spurs' unbeaten streak at five games. With 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses), they sl

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Eric Pedroia, 31, was removed from the game after failing to reach the fifth inning. Peddie suffered his ninth loss of the season (eight wins) after allowing one run on five hits and four walks with one strikeout in 4⅔ innings of work against the Seattle Mariners at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on Sunday. He was in trouble in the top of the first inning. Julio Rodriguez led off with a single up the middle and stole second, putting runners on first and second. Pedi induced Randy Arozarenas to ground out to second base to end the threat. In the top of the second, he walked J.P. Crawford to load the bases with one out after Justin Turner singled. He got Dylan Moore to fly out to left field and Josh Rojas to fly out to right field to end the threat. In the top of the third inning, he showed his crisis management skills. Two batters later, he walked Carl Rolle on a seven-pitch at-bat and got Arozarenas to fly out to left before inducing Luke Reilly

  “Being exposed to criticism from time to time is not an easy condition for Kim Min-jae.” Germany's Aventurer Zeitung reported on July 7, “Can Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) revive his career under Vincent Kompany? Experts are not sure.” After joining Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of around 50 million euros ($74 billion KRW) before the start of the 2023-2024 season, Kim struggled in his first season with the Bavarians. He was a regular starter at the start of the season and anchored the Bavarians' defense, but in the second half of the season, he made mistakes and eventually lost his starting spot to “freshman” Eric Dier. In the 2024-2025 season, Bayern parted ways with Thomas Tuchel and handed the reins over to Vincent Kompany, with Kim regaining his starting spot. However, his form was shaky again, starting with a costly mistake against VfL Wolfsburg in the first round. He followed that up with a good performance against SC Freiburg in the second round, but was a shamble

  Tottenham Hotspur should take a lesson from Liverpool's situation. “Mohamed Salah wants to sign an extension with Liverpool, according to multiple sources,” the Liverpool Echo reported on the 5th of this month. Earlier, British 'Sky Sports', 'BBC' and other leading media reported on the 2nd that “Mohamed Salah said that this season will be his last season at Liverpool”. Liverpool won 3-0 against Manchester United in the third round of the 2024-2025 Premier League at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at midnight on the 2nd. Luis Dias scored back-to-back goals in the 35th and 42nd minutes to make it 2-0 before Mohamed Salah rattled the net 11 minutes into the second half to seal the win. It was a big win against their rivals, but Liverpool fans weren't smiling easily. Salah was the cause. According to Sky Sports, Salah said: “I enjoyed my summer vacation and spent a lot of time trying to stay positive. Because as everyone knows, this is my last season at Live
