Bayern Munich Kim Min-jae.
Kim Min-jae 28, Bayern Munich is under fire again.
Bayern Munich came from behind to lose 2-3 against Heidenheim in the 28th round of the 2023-24 German Bundesliga at the Heidenheim Foyt Arena in Germany on the 7th.
Munich, which has been aiming to win the Bundesliga title for 12 consecutive years, is tied with 60 points as it lost its sixth game in the league this season. Munich, which is lagging behind the 10th-ranked team, is not much behind Leverkusen, but is still lagging behind Stuttgart, which is ranking 16th and third.
Coach Thomas Tuchel started the rotation ahead of the match against Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. Kim started the match for the first time in about a month and played as a center back with Dayo Upamecano.
Kim returned to the starting lineup for the first time in five games after the match against Freiburg 2-2 draw on April 1, but failed to prevent his team's come-from-behind defeat. Munich, which scored two goals including the first Harry Kane goal in the first half, collapsed after being beaten by three goals in the second half.
After the come-from-behind defeat, Tuchel said, "I gave up the goal too easily. I had a chance to turn the tables, but I lost everything," pointing to the defense. It's embarrassing because it was an open criticism from Kim Min-jae's first start in a long time. We can't blame Kim Min-jae for every loss, but Kim Min-jae, who played full time as a center back, is also responsible for the come-from-behind defeat.
"Coach Thomas Tuchel gave unnecessary rest to Matthias de Licht and Eric Dier. He did and disappointed them. He showed once again why Kim Min-jae and Upamecano were pushed back from Munich's starting center-back duo," the German media Kicker said, pointing out that Kim Min-jae missed out on Kleindienst Heidenheim.
German media outlet Bild gave a harsher evaluation by writing "no rating." Bild sets a rating of 1 to 5 points. The lowest score was 5 points, but Kim Min-jae scored 6 points. Kim was given a lower score than the lowest score.
In terms of objective indicators, Kim is not necessarily poor. According to the soccer statistics site "Sofascore," Kim was fine with a 90 percent pass success rate 88/99, aerial challenge 6/9, six clearings, and three shooting blocks for 90 minutes. Another statistical medium, "Husscore," also gave Kim a high score of 7.4.
Under the current circumstances, however, it will be difficult for him to start in the first leg against Arsenal England in the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League on May 10. If he showed impressive performance at the opportunity of rotation, one can expect a reversal, but he failed to prevent a bitter upset loss, making it difficult for him to play in a big match. This is a difficult time for Kim Min-jae, who has emerged as a "world class." 토토사이트
