Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
A change in playing style Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi praised by the Red Sparks coach until Ducati management refused to come Marc Marquez became the most popular sports news in the past week.
Megawati, nicknamed Megatron, succeeded in bringing the Red Sparks to end their winning drought in the South Korean League when they beat AI Peppers, Tuesday (28/11). This victory was achieved inseparable from changes in Megawati’s playing style.
Apart from that, in the world of MotoGP, Marc Marquez made his debut with Ducati for the first time at the official test in Valencia. However, Marquez’s presence in Gresini was rejected by Ducati management.
The following is a week’s round-up in the world of sports on CNNIndonesia.com:
Jung Kwan Jang Red Sparks coach Ko Hee Jin highlighted the performance of Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi who changed her playing style against AI Peppers, Tuesday (28/11). Red Sparks picked up a crucial 3-1 (21-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-18) win over AI Peppers at Chungmu Gymnasium.
This victory was the first and last for the Red Sparks in the second round of the Korean Volleyball League women’s category. Before this revival, the Red Sparks suffered five consecutive defeats. Megatron, nicknamed Megawati, scored 30 points in that match.
Megawati has a slight change in playing style when facing AI Peppers. From the usual, it often repeatedly produces spikes, only occasionally delivering a loud smash.
In previous matches, Megawati’s consecutive spikes were often read by opponents, which resulted in Red Sparks’ defeat. Therefore changes are needed to break the bad trend of Red Sparks.
General Manager of Ducati Corse, Gigi Dall’Igna, confirmed the news that Ducati management initially did not want Marc Marquez to join the Gresini team for MotoGP 2024.
“Ducati’s position is like that, they are [Ducati] don’t want Marquez,” said Dall’Igna as quoted by AS.
The arrival of Marc Marquez in the Gresini team as a replacement for Fabio Di Giannantonio was rejected by Ducati management. However, Gresini managed to convince the Italian company to accept Marquez.
A total of nine teams have been confirmed to be eliminated from the Champions League after the end of the fifth week which took place this week.
There are only two groups where the four clubs can still be sure of qualifying for the next round. In Group A, Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Manchester United still have a chance to accompany Bayern Munich to qualify.
Meanwhile, from Group F, only Borussia Dortmund are certain to qualify. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle United and AC Milan still have a chance to qualify.
