Football stars of yesteryear, such as Cannavaro, Materazzi, and Ronaldinho, who visited Korea for an event match in Korea in October, praised this player in unison.

Who was this monstrous player who went so far as to say that he was glad they didn’t play football together at the same time?

Reporter Junhee Lee reports.

During the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Cannavaro led Italy’s barred defense and won the championship trophy and Ballon d’Or at the same time.

However, there was one grudge that world-class defender Cannavaro could not solve, and that was the victory of Napoli, the hometown team where he was born and played.

But in 2022, a Korean player from Asia accomplished his lifelong dream with Cannavaro in just one season.

It was Kim Min-jae, the monster defender, who made Cannavaro laugh just by hearing his name.

[칸나바로/전 이탈리아 국가대표 : “김민재는 나폴리 우승의 핵심이었습니다. 정말 잘했고, 믿을 수 없는 플레이를 펼쳤습니다.”]

It was evaluated that even if the alien Ronaldinho faced him, it would not have been an easy opponent.

[칸나바로/전 이탈리아 국가대표 : “김민재가 앞으로 더 잘 됐으면 좋겠고, 나중에 관광으로라도 나폴리에 꼭 다시 돌아왔으면 좋겠습니다.”]

Kim Min-jae’s performance left a deep impression on Italy’s Materazzi, who induced Zidane’s headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final in Germany.

[마테라치/전 이탈리아 국가대표 : “김민재는 나폴리의 아이돌이었습니다. 단 1년 만에 나폴리 역대 최고 수비수라 부를 만한 활약을 펼쳤습니다.”]

It is expected that Kim Min-jae, who has been highly praised by legends, will show off a monstrous defense in the German Bundesliga.
