Coach Cheng Yaodong of the Chinese national football team, who is leaving the stage of the U-23 AFC Qatar 2024 Asian Cup, gave meaning to the fact that the Chinese players gained experience for growth when competing with Korea and Japan.

Xie Weneng scored one goal in the 24th minute of the first half, and Liu Jurun scored one goal shortly before the end of the first half.

Juventus, two arrivals from Lille? Thiago Santos comes out on top
Thiago Santos of Lille is the latest name associated with Juventus in this advance transfer market. The Portuguese joins Zhegrova, who has been in the Bianconeri’s sights for some time. RLet’s remember that in the last two transfer sessions Juventus took Weah and Tiago Djalò from the French club. The first never convinced, the second never played. The team’s future is cloudy, especially after Giuntoli’s words which confirmed Allegri. The many players expiring and in the balance make the situation difficult to define at this stage.
Juventus, what future?
Recent statements on Allegri from Giuntoli triggered an angry reaction from the fans, exacerbated by yet another horrible performance by the team in Cagliari. Allegri himself fired nothing at the players in the first half, showing latent nervousness. Juventus have won 2 of the last 10 matches and 5 of the last 15, but the coach continues to talk about objectives in line with expectations. The second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final with Lazio is an important watershed for the season, but not for the future. Currently, in fact, there are other problems and any success in the Italian Cup would be just a fig leaf. Giuntoli is called to make important choices in the summer,
The list of expendables in Gimnasia: the footballers that Marcelo Mndez must evaluate
#list #expendables #Gimnasia #footballers #Marcelo #Méndez #evaluate
For their part, there are three footballers whose cycles in Gimnasia, at least for the Board of Directors, have one foot outside the team for the second semester. It’s about the side Luciano Gomezfrom the midfielder Matias Ramirez and from the forward Franco Troyansky.
Curiously, two of them, the last two, arrived at the beginning of this year at Lobo and if they leave they will only have spent six months at the institution. The last word anyway will be Marcelo Méndez, who will have around twenty days of work before the debut.
In this sense, it is also worth noting that in terms of departures everything will depend on the possible offers that the players in question may have: if they are not taken into account but are sought by no team, it will be difficult for them to terminate their respective ties.
The five players that Marcelo Méndez should evaluate in Gimnasia
- Gustavo Canto (7 PJ in 2024)
- Yonathan Cabral (10 PJ and 1 goal in 2024)
- Luciano Gómez (0 PJ in 2024)
- Matías Ramírez (7 PJ in 2024)
- Franco Troyansky (11 PJ en 2024)

The Quarterback Transition
He was aware of the inevitable outcome and chose to step away from it.
On April 28, 2004, the Giants parted ways with Kerry Collins, their primary quarterback, who had started 67 consecutive games, due to his refusal to accept a pay cut. This decision coincided with the acquisition of Eli Manning from the Chargers in a bold draft day trade by then-general manager Ernie Accorsi. The initial plan was to retain Collins as the veteran starter until Manning was prepared to take over.
At 31 years old, Collins had no des ire to serve as a placeholder quarterback.

Collins expressed, “Unless the guy’s just an absolute, total flop, your days are numbered. You draft somebody that high, everybody is clamoring to see him on the field and see what he can do. They’re counting down the days until you’re not in there anymore and the other guy is in.
