He turned away desperate ideas with just his skills. This is the story of Minjae Kim (Bayern Munich).
Kim Min-jae, who again emerged as a starter under Munich coach Vincent Kompany this season, added stability to the back line. He led Munich to scoreless victories in four Bundesliga games, including the league game against St. Pauli on the 9th (Korean time).
The German version of Sky Sports said, “Munich are showing a more solid defense than ever. “Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae have a lot to contribute,” he said “It has never happened in six years that Munich have not conceded a single goal in four Bundesliga games. “Even under the coaches Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, Munich has never had a scoreless match like this,” he said.
Kim Min-jae, who joined Munich last year, played as a regular starter but was pushed to the bench for a while. He was absent from January to February to take part in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, and lost a starting role to Eric Dier, who arrived during the winter transfer window.

However, under Kompany’s coach, he regained his starting position. Overall, consistent performance was demonstrated. Of course, the German media, which had very harsh reviews, did not stop criticizing Kim Min-jae.
Last month, Germany’s ‘Football Barbarian’ criticized Kim Min-jae for blocking a clear chance in the match against Bochum, saying, “The Korean centre-back was taking a nap. This meant that if Kim Min-jae’s previous moves had been good, this opportunity might not have been given in the first place. At the time, the media warned, “Munich will continue to be punished in the future if it does not address its persistent defensive mistakes,” and Munich’s defense became more solid.
Minjae Kim was not swayed by outside evaluations. Instead, he grew stronger as he continued to step onto the pitch as a starter.
Recently, his teammate Joshua Kimmich said, “The defense of these two players (Upamecano and Kim Min-jae) is very cruel. They have to defend a very large area, and this shows the skills of both of them. The coach made both players stronger. “(They) repay the favor inside and outside the team,” he said, giving a thumbs up.

Bild, which often gave Kim Min-jae bad ratings, focused on his military service on the 15th.
“Minjae Kim is able to do digital service for the South Korean military,” Bild said. He added, “He completed part of his military service before coming to Korea from Napoli, Serie A in Italy, as last summer.”
Kim Min-jae originally joined Munich after proving his high-level skills at Napoli, but he went unrecognized in his first season. However, in the second season, the media attention is definitely changing.
