Appealing to forget the ceremony, even cheering for the winner

 Emmanuel Adebayor asked us to forget the ‘reversal ceremony’ he performed in the past.


Britain's Daily Mail reported, "Adebayor hoped Arsenal fans would forget his infamous celebration after scoring against Arsenal in Manchester City in 2009."

The media continued, "At that time, Adebayor left Arsenal and joined Manchester City that summer as Manchester City began making bold investments, and after that, he was ridiculed by Arsenal fans every time he played for Manchester City. So, Adebayor was the winner of the match when Manchester City won 4-2. “When I scored in the match, I ran across the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans.”

Adebayor's ceremony is famous as the so-called 'reverse ceremony'. When Adebayor, who is from Arsenal, scored against his home team in the game at the time, he ran towards the away fans of Arsenal on the other side and held a ceremony by kneeling with his arms outstretched in front of the Arsenal fans. It was interpreted that he intended to take revenge on Arsenal fans who had mocked him for moving to Manchester City. Some Manchester City colleagues, surprised by the bold ceremony, rushed over to stop Adebayor.

It was a ceremony that caused quite a stir. The Daily Mail said, “Objects including a plastic chair were thrown at Adebayor, and he was fined 25,000 pounds (approximately 41.2 million won) and suspended for two games by the English Football Association (FA).” .

Adebayor hoped Arsenal fans would now forget this celebration. Adebayor recently told UK's Sky Sports: "I think the fans may forget the sight of me walking across the pitch in 2009. No human being would accept that if people were singing and insulting their families, especially their mothers and fathers. "I won't. I would do anything for my parents. Now, when Arsenal fans sometimes see videos of that ceremony on TV or social media, I hope they will laugh it off."

“That’s what I wish for Arsenal fans, and I wish them the best of luck this year,” he said, wishing Arsenal good luck. Arsenal is challenging to win the Premier League (PL) this season following last season. Currently, Arsenal is in second place in the league with 20 points, following Tottenham Hotspur.

“New York is the mecca of the world” A 77-win pitcher returns to his hometown…

    The New York Yankees recruited right-hander Marcus Stroman (33).   MLB.com announced on the 12th (Korean time) that “the Yankees signed a two-year contract worth $37 million (about 48.6 billion won) with Stroman.”  It even includes a vesting option that automatically extends the contract if he plays more than 140 innings in 2025, his second season.  When the contract period is three years, the total amount will be $55 million (72.3 billion won). MLB.com noted, “Stroman debuted (in the Major League) with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and has been a consistently above-average starting pitcher throughout his career.”  However, considering the fact that he suffered injuries such as inflammation of his right hip last year, he said, “I pitched less than 140 innings for two consecutive seasons,” and added, “In 2022, he missed a month due to inflammation in his right shoulder and missed more than two weeks due to COVID-19.” Nevertheless, MLB.com said, “Stroman ...
