Bayern Munich won against Augsburg. It was well received for Kim Min-jae.
Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-0 in the 11th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 4:30 a.m. on the 23rd (Korea time). Munich thus recorded a clean sheet victory in six consecutive games.
Kim Min-jae played as a central defender with Upamecano. He played well. He played the starting point of the build-up. He was also flawless defensively. In the 15th minute of the first half, he took the opponent's ball and connected it to the front concisely.
Kim continued to concentrate in the second half. In the 28th minute of the second half, he managed to take possession of the ball through a sensible tackle on the opponent team. Munich won the game 3-0 thanks to the defense led by Kim Min-jae and Kane's hat trick at the end of the game.
After the match, Kim received positive feedback. "He still showed off his strong skills. He dominated by dribbling from time to time. Defensively, he made no mistake. He gave Munich a sense of calm and stability," the German team said, scoring two points.
The Bavarian Football Association named Kim Min-jae the "Kaiser" and said, "Fans are gradually getting used to his improved performance. His defensive skills are constantly improving in every game he plays. Today was no different."
Kim Min-jae joined Munich ahead of last season. Due to the injury of his position competitor, he played relatively easily from the beginning of the transfer. However, his condition was problematic due to his schedule without rest. Eric Dier's position was shaken by the recruitment of him in the winter transfer market.
Thomas Tuchel, who led Munich at the time, did not prefer Kim Min-jae. It wasn't that he wasn't given a chance, but he made big and small mistakes every time he played. It was far from the Napoli era, when there was a lot of praise. After the end of the season, Germany's Bild gave Kim Min-jae the lowest rating in the team.
During the transfer window last summer, several teams were interested in Kim Min-jae. Of course, Kim Min-jae was not interested. He said, "There was talk of leaving the team, but I never did that, and I want to adapt well here and show good performance."
Kim Min-jae has displayed good performance this season. He is playing a key role in defense tactics under Vincent Kompany. He has scored one goal in 16 matches this season. The prevailing assessment is that he is regaining his form as a Napoli player.
Recently, some predict that Kim Min-jae will have physical problems due to his schedule without rest, but he is still solid. Munich has won the last six games without losing a point, and Kim Min-jae's performance has greatly affected it. 스포츠토토
