Ivan's emotional intelligence is too high. Under the proactive approach of the national football team's head coach, the Chinese team has recently received free guidance from another world-class coach, making their performance this year highly anticipated. Recently, the national team has been training in Haikou, and the highly emotionally intelligent Ivan Kević has not only created a historically recognized best atmosphere among the national players but also been very open and inclusive, actively communicating with coaches from CSL clubs. The latest news is that he specially visited the Shanghai Shenhua team, who were also training in Haikou, to have a cordial conversation with the Russian coach Leonid Slutsky, which is beneficial for the Chinese men's football team! This move has at least three benefits: first and foremost, it allows the national team to directly receive free advice from a world-class coach. Although Ivan has extensive coaching experience in Asia, from a European or even global football perspective, Slutsky is clearly stronger. He has won the Russian Premier League title three times, coached the Russian national team, participated in the European Championship, and has coaching experience in the English Championship and Dutch Eredivisie, demonstrating his strong coaching abilities. Most importantly, he previously watched Ivan's matches with the national team, and Shenhua has several key national team players, so he has a deep understanding of the Chinese team, making his opinions invaluable. Secondly, Ivan's initiative to visit Slutsky directly resolved many misunderstandings and conflicts, allowing them to form a united front to help the national team. Previously, Slutsky publicly questioned Jiang Guangtai's…

In preparation for the new season, Shandong Taishan is currently undergoing winter training in Shanghai under the leadership of Choi Kang-hee, effectively dispelling rumors of his dismissal. However, for Choi Kang-hee to solidify his position as head coach in the new season, he must achieve results, at the very least securing a championship trophy. Last season, Shandong Taishan finished fifth in the league and was the runner-up in the FA Cup, resulting in their exclusion from the upcoming season's AFC Champions League. The team's poor performance was attributed to Choi Kang-hee's unsuccessful recruitment strategy. According to previous media reports, Shandong Taishan has taken back the transfer authority from Choi Kang-hee. In this context, the club has successively parted ways with players such as Pato, Marcelo, Liao LiSheng, Tong Lei, and He XiaoKe, with Jia Desong's departure also imminent. With players leaving, new ones are set to join. Journalist Li PingKang revealed that Shandong Taishan should soon announce three new signings. Among them, two rumored Brazilian foreign players, Madruga and Gazal, have been secured, while the other new addition is a domestic player. All three new signings are under 30 years old, and as long as they pass the upcoming physical examinations, the two Brazilian players will join Shandong Taishan in the new season. This domestic player is Tang Chuang from Chengdu Rongcheng, a 28-year-old center forward who has already joined Shandong Taishan's winter training. He will serve as a substitute for ZeKa or an important rotational player in the central defender position in the new season. The reason Shandong Taishan…

On January 13th, the first round of the 2025 Australian Open women's singles featured a highly anticipated match between Ostapenko and Bencic. Ultimately, Ostapenko suffered a surprising 0-2 defeat, crashing out of the tournament as another seeded player eliminated. After the match, Bencic threw her racket in excitement, clenched her fists, and smiled widely, clearly thrilled with her victory. Ostapenko is an extremely experienced player, ranked 22nd in the world and seeded 16th in the tournament. She has previously won a Grand Slam title and qualified directly for the main draw of this year's Australian Open. Bencic, on the other hand, is a Swiss player ranked only 294th in the world. Prior to this match, the two had faced each other twice, with both players winning one match each. However, considering overall strength, Ostapenko was considered the stronger player. In the first set, Ostapenko quickly broke serve, but Bencic responded with a break of her own to level the score at 1-1. The two players then held their serves, with Bencic leading 4-3. In the eighth game, Bencic broke serve again to extend her lead to 5-3. In the ninth game, Bencic successfully converted her serve to win the set 6-3, taking a 1-0 lead over Ostapenko. In the second set, Bencic broke serve early on, but Ostapenko immediately broke back to level the score at 1-1. In the third game, Bencic broke serve once more and then held serve to lead 3-1.

The CBA regular season continues with Guangdong hosting Beikong. After securing a five-game winning streak, Guangdong's record stands at 18 wins and 11 losses, temporarily ranking 8th in the league. Beikong, on the other hand, has suffered consecutive defeats, with a record of 15 wins and 13 losses, placing them 10th in the league. Both teams are evenly matched and eager to win the game to boost their morale and rankings. In the first half, Guangdong leads Beikong 55-45, but in the second half, Beikong closes the gap tightly. Ultimately, Guangdong narrowly defeats Beikong 99-98. With this thrilling victory, three incredible moments occurred during the game. Three Unbelievable Moments: Both teams played well throughout the game. In the final moments, Shen Zijie missed his second free throw, and Zhang Fan entered the line prematurely. Players beyond the three-point line can only enter the three-point area to grab rebounds after the free throw hits the rim. Fortunately, Guangdong still won; otherwise, overtime would have been tough. In the last play, Jilunwate's timely and crucial block was impressive. Otherwise, Zhang Fan would have had an easy layup. Xu Jie performed exceptionally well, but playing over forty minutes per game is unsustainable. It's easy to get exhausted and risk injury. Please, Du Feng, give Xu Jie a rest in the next game. Guangdong's reserves for shooting guards and small forwards are insufficient. There are only three players between 1.9 meters and 2 meters tall: Huang Rongqi starts, Zhang Wenyi comes off the bench, and then there's only one foreign player. When both starters…

This match is so exciting that it makes your heart race. It's really a pity for Stephens, and the screen is full of concern for her. In the first round of the 2023 Australian Open women's singles, defending champion Sabalenka faced American veteran Stephens, igniting the attention of many viewers with a contest of strength and form. In this tense duel, any viewer with even a slight passion for tennis can feel the intense and dramatic contrast. Sabalenka's performance was like a storm, unmatched. She not only has comprehensive skills but also outstanding power and speed, directly using precise serves and strong baseline shots to push Stephens to the brink. Every rally in the game is filled with her sense of control, and the audience can almost hear the deep sound of each collision between the racket and the ball, as if she is declaring, "I am the queen of this court." In this game, Sabalenka not only showed the majesty of the defending champion but also fought like a peak warrior, determined to move forward towards victory despite the stormy group stage. On the other hand, Stephens appears somewhat lonely and helpless on the court. Once a young star, she is now gradually losing her luster in fierce competition. Although she strives in this game, the court often reveals traces of struggle, and whenever Sabalenka launches a sharp attack, Stephens can feel the invisible pressure coming from all directions. Is the peak moment of the past bidding farewell to her in a gentle yet tenacious way? Her state is…

Recently, Chinese table tennis athlete Wang Chuqin participated in the 2024 Weibo Night. At Weibo Night, Wang Chuqin won the title of "Person of the Year in Sports Influence," and throughout 2024, he made a total of 1263 appearances on Weibo's hot search list, which is unmatched among male athletes in China's sports world. During the Weibo Night event, Wang Chuqin repeatedly topped the hot search list due to his various actions and attire at the scene. Two days after the end of Weibo Night, Wang Chuqin once again became a hot search topic, but this time the content that made him a hot search was "Wang Chuqin as a Top University Student in Novels." Born in 2000, Wang Chuqin is already 25 years old, well past the age of being a university student, and there are many athletes in the national table tennis team of the same age who have achieved better results than Wang Chuqin. As a result, many netizens find this hot search embarrassing, and it is estimated that even Wang Chuqin himself would be embarrassed to the point of scratching his head upon seeing it. However, for many of Wang Chuqin's fans, they enjoy such hot searches, and to some extent, they are the ones buying these hot searches for Wang Chuqin. It is precisely because of these hot searches that Wang Chuqin's online reputation is not very good now!

On January 13th, the CBA official website showed that Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu cancelled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. The four foreign players of Zhejiang men's basketball team are generally good, including Kobe Simmons, Gabriel York, Damian Jones, and Paris Bass, with balanced scoring and no low-level foreign players. Zhejiang's domestic players are also not bad; last season, they ranked third in the standings with a record of 41 wins and 11 losses. This season, affected by injuries, they have been fluctuating between third and eighth place. Zhejiang head coach Wang Shilong has always emphasized offense and teamwork, with the team averaging 113.3 points per game, ranking second in the league, and 27.5 assists per game, ranking third in the league. Paris Bass has had excellent statistics this season, averaging 17.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He is the second-highest scorer and the top rebounder for the team. His partnership with Yu Jiaho in the frontcourt is highly trusted by Wang Shilong. In the match between Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu and Zhejiang Fangxingdu, Yu Jiaho and Cheng Shaipeng have recovered from their injuries and entered the 12-man roster, while Wu Qian is still recuperating. The Zhejiang derby is highly anticipated, with Wang Shilong and Wang Bo facing off. Guangsha, on the other hand, is well-staffed, and Boban's addition has made their frontline tall and deep. It's unclear why Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu would cut Paris Bass, a super foreign player who provides significant help to the team's frontcourt. He recently took leave due to the birth…

Agent's Talent! Malele Signs Three-Year Deal with Yingbo, Shandong Taishan Acquires Defensive Midfielder and Central Defender Foreigners, Xu Dong Joins Liaoning Ironman The 31-year-old Malele has signed a three-year contract with Dalian Yingbo. Malele's addition to Dalian Yingbo is sure to bring vitality to their attacking line, which is undeniable. However, at the age of 31, signing a three-year contract with Yingbo seems like a gamble. On January 13th, according to information from Transfermarkt, Malele joined Dalian Yingbo, and both parties signed a three-year contract. The current 31-year-old Malele joined Shanghai Shenhua in the 2023 season, played a total of 67 times for Shenhua, contributing 36 goals + 8 assists, and became a free agent after the end of the 2024 season. Malele's current market value on Transfermarkt is 1 million euros. Due to his age not being an advantage, Malele's market value will not increase significantly like that of younger players. Signing a three-year contract with Dalian Yingbo is undoubtedly a lucrative deal for the latter stage of his career. Some Dalian fans believe, "Isn't this contract a bit too long?" "To be honest, it doesn't seem too reasonable." "For a 31-year-old foreign player, a two-plus-one contract would be more suitable." "It can only be said that the agent is very talented." Shandong Taishan has acquired a defensive midfielder and central defender foreigners. This winter transfer window, Taishan Club's recruitment has been very low-key, which is related to the disagreement with Old Cui's opinion. Pato left, Marcelo and Jardel did not return to China. Recently, Tang Chuang followed Taishan…

From "Thorn" to Top Coach: The Splendid Transformation of Qiu Yike Would you believe it if someone transformed from a "thorn" into an "old father"? Qiu Yike, once a table tennis player frequently suspended for his rebellious nature, has now become a capable coach for Sun Yingsha. Not only has he helped his disciple win world championships, but he has also, through his own efforts and tenacity, become a brand ambassador for the national table tennis team. What happened during this transition? Was it personal growth or environmental shaping? Qiu Yike's career as a player was a mix of highlights and controversies. He was not one of those naturally gifted, smooth-sailing table tennis players, but rather an individual with a strong personality. Most notably, his match against Japanese player Mizutani Jun at the 2005 World Table Tennis Championships became a media sensation. At that time, he firmly controlled the game with his unique chopping style, standing confidently in the center of the court with the eyes of a winner. However, such a player with achievements faced frequent controversies due to his character issues. He was repeatedly punished within the team for "not following the rules," even earning the title of "thorn." In his youthful vigor, his flamboyance made him stand out, but it also caused him to miss many opportunities. In the later stages of his playing career, frequent suspensions narrowed his professional path until he ultimately chose to retire from the court. Many thought that Qiu Yike would fade into obscurity, but who could have guessed that this "turbulent"…
