Kim Min-jae was the only Munich player to be named in Lee Ju's team in the fifth round of the Bundesliga selected by Germany's Kicker.
Germany's "Kicker" announced Lee Ju's team in the fifth round of the German Bundesliga on the 29th (Korea time). Kim Min-jae is the only Bayern Munich player named.
Bayern Munich tied Leverkusen 1-1 in the fifth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Kim Min-jae played as central defender for Munich along with Dayo Upamecano.
Kim displayed good performance. Throughout the game, Kim defended his team's offense against Leverkusen by displaying strong defense capabilities. When facing the attack, he connected the ball by making quick and concise judgments. According to the soccer statistics magazine Footmob, Kim recorded a success rate of 92 percent (84/91), 14 passes in areas of attack, three interceptions, and seven recoveries during the 90 minutes period. Footmob gave Kim a rating of 7.5 points.
In recognition of his performance, Kim Min-jae was selected as a member of the Bundesliga's Lee Ju-yi team. The media gave Kim Min-jae two points. Kim Min-jae was the only Munich player who was chosen as a "kicker."
"Kim Min-jae was a reliable center back. He showed a tough defense against Leverkusen and got angry when the referee blew the whistle," Germany's TZ said. "He blocked Leverkusen's attacks several times and displayed the necessary stability in the rear."
Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich said, "The way Kim Min-jae and Upamecano have played over the past few weeks has been brutal. They have to defend wide areas. To stand 50-60 meters from the goal and defend wide areas, you have to have a lot of quality."
He went on to say, "I received criticism after the match against Wolfsburg, but Vincent Kompany publicly and within the team defended Kim and Upamecano. Now they are repaying the favor. Both players have shown outstanding performance."
Kim Min-jae joined Munich with a lot of expectations last season, but his performance was somewhat disappointing. At the beginning of the season, he played a key role, but was pushed out of the main competition due to overwork and sluggishness. In the winter transfer market, Eric Dier's position was further shaken by the addition of him.
There were rumors of a transfer in the transfer market last summer, but Kim Min-jae dismissed the possibility of a transfer, saying, "There was talk of leaving the team, but I never did that, and I want to adapt well here and show a good performance." 안전놀이터
