‘Worst game’ since moving to Bundesliga… KIM and the German champion collapsed helplessly | Goal.com Korean

[골닷컴] Reporter Lee Jeong-bin = Kim Min-jae (27), who went into action after a sweet break, played his worst game since moving to Bayern Munich. Kim Min-jae, who was making his comeback, struggled against Frankfurt’s counterattack and gave up the most goals since moving to the Bundesliga.

Minjae Kim started as a starter in the 14th round away game of the 2023-24 German Bundesliga league against Frankfurt held at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany at 11:30 pm (Korean time) on the 9th. Bayern Munich, whose defense was shaky, conceded a large number of goals to Frankfurt and lost 1-5.

Kim Min-jae took a break during the 5th match of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) Group A match against Copenhagen on the 30th of last month. At the time, Kim Min-jae skipped one game after missing training due to discomfort in his hip area. Then, the Union Berlin game scheduled for the 2nd was canceled due to heavy snow, and Kim Min-jae appeared in action for the first time in two weeks. Kim Min-jae, who returned, once again teamed up with Dayot Upamecano (25) to face Frankfurt.

From the start, Kim Min-jae overpowered the opposing attackers with his strong physical skills. In the 16th minute of the first half, his partner Upamecano made a mistake and Bayern Munich almost faced the risk of conceding a goal, but Kim Min-jae, who was left alone at the back, made a quick decision to stop it. Frankfurt’s quick attackers moved meticulously to attack the Bayern Munich defense, and Kim Min-jae received a yellow card while trying to block it.

Bayern Munich, which was trailing 0-1, allowed an additional goal in the 31st minute of the first half as the defense, including Kim Min-jae, collapsed. After Kim Min-jae, who was dragged to the side to block the opposing attacker, was pushed out of the race, even goalkeepers Upamecano and Manuel Neuer (37) were breached. Then, in the 36th minute of the first half, Bayern Munich, unable to withstand Frankfurt’s pressure, gave up the key point to Hugo Larsson (19) and were greatly shaken.

In the 5th minute of the second half, taking advantage of Upamecano’s mistake, Eric Ebimbe (23) hit the net, widening the gap further for Frankfurt. As Upamecano looked uneasy throughout the game, a scene was created where Kim Min-jae even covered the right center defense. With Bayern Munich’s right defensive line collapsing, Kim Min-jae’s burden increased. Bayern Munich, whose defense completely collapsed, gave Frankfurt one chance after another and continued to concede goals.

In the end, Bayern Munich bowed, conceding 5 goals. Sports statistics media ‘Sofa Score’ and ‘Foot Mob’ gave Kim Min-jae a rating of 6.2 and 5.6, respectively. While the Bayern Munich players showed a lethargic performance, Kim Min-jae also could not escape the flow. In particular, he gave up a lot of weight on the second goal and got a bad score.

Bayern Munich, whose undefeated league streak ended with a loss in this game, failed to narrow the gap with first-place Leverkusen. Bayern Munich will now travel to Manchester United in the final match of the UCL group stage three days later and then meet Stuttgart at home on the 18th.
