It is a turnaround. After Son Heung-min (34, LAFC) departed, Tottenham Hotspur had been stuck in an endless dark period, finishing 17th for two consecutive seasons. However, the club has successfully achieved a perfect revival by running up a three-game winning streak in the league after more than 600 days. The British media outlet "BBC" highlighted on the 1st (Korean time), "Has Tottenham under Roberto De Zerbi finally found the consistency they had been searching for so desperately?" and "Tott
"Thank you, Ulsan-KBO! An experience I will never forget" — Even the U.S. champions who went undefeated in 12 games and the Welsh team that ultimately finished as runner-up expressed gratitude first at the end

11 years, 30.7 billion won. Although he signed a mega-contract unprecedented in the history of Korean baseball, Noh Si-hwan (26, Hanwha Eagles) chose to forgo guaranteed wealth in favor of his dream. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) requested the Major League Baseball (MLB) office on October 31 to post Noh Si-hwan to all 30 MLB teams, at the request of the Hanwha Eagles club. Noh Si-hwan wrote a new chapter in Korean baseball history by signing a non-FA multi-year contract with Hanwha last

England's prestigious Manchester United collapsed again. Most notably, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez received a baffling sending-off after collecting two yellow cards in less than two minutes. Manchester United manager Michael Carrick also coldly ignored Martinez as he left the pitch.
