Brighton's scouting system is certainly noteworthy.

Brighton defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the fifth round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at 11 p.m. ET on Oct. 16. With the win, Brighton sit fifth in the league with a record of 4-1-1 (12 points), while United slip to 13th with a record of 2-3-1 (6 points) after suffering their second straight defeat.

In the first half, United dominated the attack and had several shots on goal, but Jason Steele was called into action. It was the visitors, Brighton, who had the first laugh. They took the lead in the 20th minute when Danny Welbeck headed home a cross from the right flank by Simone Adingra.

With the score at 1-0, Brighton continued their organized attack in the second half and added a second goal. Eight minutes into the second half, Tariq Lampard's pass found Pascal Gross inside the penalty box, and he fired a shot that rattled the net. Brighton didn't stop there. In the 27th minute, João Pedro made it a three-goal game when he slotted home a ground ball cross, this time from Lampardi. 

Brighton pulled one back in the 29th minute through Hannibal Mebry, but the Red Devils held on for the 3-1 win. This is the second consecutive season that Brighton have secured a win at Old Trafford. The Seagulls are also in strong form, having beaten United in each of their last four matches. It started with a 4-0 win in May last year, followed by a 2-1 victory in August. The Seagulls also beat United 1-0 in May of this year, extending their winning streak to four games.

Even more surprising is the difference in the total amount of squad signings between the two teams. Brighton fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation that day. According to Sky Sports in the UK, Brighton spent just £16.2 million to sign 11 players.

Five of the players were free agents. In addition to Welbeck, Brighton brought in Adam Lallana, Mahmoud Dahoud, Louis Dunk, and 토토사이트 goalkeeper Steele for no fee. Even excluding them, Addingra was the highest-priced transfer at £6.9 million.

It's an amazing scouting system. Kaoru Mitoma and Gross arrived in Brighton's colors for a combined fee of £2.6 million. The defense didn't break the £3 billion mark either. Jan-Paul van Hecke, Lampardy, and Joel Feltman cost £1.7 million, £1.5 million, and £0.9 million respectively. 

United, on the other hand, spent an astronomical amount to build their squad. The Red Devils spent £72 million on the signing of frontman Rasmus Højlund alone, who started the game. They also spent €55 million on Bruno Fernandes and €70 million on Casemiro.

The defense is also spectacular. We spent £70 million on Lisandro Martinez, £31 million on Diogo Dalot, €22 million on Andre Onana, and £45 million on goalkeeper Andre Onana. That's roughly $568 billion.

VfL Wolfsburg, in need of a striker, has expressed interest in Hwang Hee-chan (27, Wolverhampton).

"VfL Wolfsburg striker Lukas Nmeka is out again with injury and the club is looking for a new striker," the German 'Bundesliga News' reported on Aug. 22 (KST), adding that Wolfsburg is monitoring the situation of Hwang Hee-chan.

Hwang joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan in August 2021. He spent the 2021-2022 season on loan at Wolverhampton from RB Leipzig, scoring five league goals and providing one assist. He has since completed a full transfer.

Competing for a starting spot alongside the likes of Pedro Neto, Pablo Sarabia, Mateusz Cunha, and Fabio Silva, Hwang has been a 'super joker' under Gary O'Neill this season.

He came on as a second-half substitute against Manchester United in the first leg to provide a boost to the flanking 스포츠토토 attack, and rattled the net himself in the second leg against Brighton & Hove Albion.

"Wolfsburg won the first leg against Heidenheim thanks to a multi-goal performance from Jonas Wien. However, Wolfsburg coach Niko Kovac wants to bring in another striker before the end of the transfer window, and some familiar names are being heard in German football."

Bundesliga News went on to say, "Wolfsburg's local newspaper reports that Hwang Hee-chan, who played for Hamburger SV and Leipzig, is on the radar. Hwang didn't do too well in the Premier League last season. However, he has been in good form this season, which means that Wolfsburg may find it difficult to sign him. Of course, a loan move is still a possibility."

In fact, the UK's Express stated that "contrary to reports in some media outlets, Wolverhampton have no intention of selling Hwang Hee-chan."

The Hana Hockey Korea Football Association (FA Cup) 2023 quarterfinal between Jeju United and Pohang Steelers has been canceled in the aftermath of Typhoon Kanun.
The FA Cup quarterfinal match between Jeju and Pohang was scheduled to take place at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 at Seogwipo Stadium in Jeju. However, the match was canceled about 40 minutes before kickoff.

The KFA said, "The FA Cup Jeju-Pohang match was canceled and postponed due to typhoon and safety concerns." "With Typhoon Kanun heading north, there were concerns about safety accidents for players and spectators if the match was forced to go ahead," it said. "It was decided to postpone the match based on the judgment of the match supervisor. The rescheduled date will be announced later."

The Jeju Island club said on its social networking service (SNS), "Due to the sudden change in weather caused by the typhoon, the game could not be played, and after discussions with the match supervisor and 스포츠토토 tournament headquarters, we decided to postpone the game for everyone's safety." "We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the fans of Pohang, who have traveled a particularly long way to attend the match."

As a result, both FA Cup quarterfinal matches scheduled for the day have been postponed. Jeonbuk Hyundai and Incheon United were scheduled to play at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the same day, but were canceled due to the disruption of the 2023 Saemangeum World Scouting Jamboree and the arrival of Typhoon Buksang.
