German local media also paid attention to the performance of ‘Monster’ Kim Min-jae in the A match. At the same time, he also highlighted his return by saying, “Kim Min-jae was not injured.”
Kim Min-jae boarded the Klinsmann during the international match period this October and started as a starter in both evaluation matches held in Korea. He performed well not only in the match against Tunisia (4-0 win) held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th, but also in the match against Vietnam (win 6-0) held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th. He played full-time in the Tunisia game, and completed his mission after playing about 70 minutes in the Vietnam game.
Accordingly, Germany’s Sport 1 said on the 18th (Korean time), “Bayern Munich’s star laid the foundation for victory. “Kim Min-jae scored the first goal with a header from a corner kick in the 5th minute of the first half.” He continued, “Munich can breathe a sigh of relief. Minjae Kim was not injured. “For Munich, what is more important than the news of Kim Min-jae’s goal is that the game ended without injury,” he added.
The reason the German media is interested in Kim Min-jae’s injury is because Munich’s defense is currently suffering from the ghost of injury. Munich recruited Kim Min-jae in this summer transfer market and built a solid central defense team consisting of Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano. The problem was ‘backup’. During the same period, Benjamin Pavard (Inter Milan), Josip Stanisic (Leverkusen), and Lucas Hernández (Paris Saint-Germain) all left, thinning the depth of the defense. In particular, De Ligt was unable to improve his performance due to an injury before the season. Naturally, Kim Min-jae and Upamecano were playing full-time more often. They showed attendance at virtually all games except for the cup competition. This is the background to the words ‘abuse’ and ‘forced march’ that came to mind towards Kim Min-jae and Upamecano.

In the meantime, Upamecano also collapsed. He reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in the match against Freiburg, held just before his international break. Locally, it was predicted that he would be out of action for up to four weeks. In other words, Kim Min-jae’s burden has become even greater.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae showed no concern about ‘concerns about a forced march’ in the mixed zone after winning the Vietnam War. He said, “I’ve said it before, but it’s better to have a hard time playing than to have a hard time because you can’t play.” He added, “I played a lot of games last year between Naples and the national team. “He knows how to manage it.”
After completing the international match schedule, Kim Min-jae heads to Germany to complete the league schedule. Coincidentally, the next opponent is Mainz, where Jae-Sung Lee is playing. The match between the two players will be held at the Meva Arena in Mainz on the 21st. Minjae Kim said, “I’m looking forward to it because it’s the first Korean Derby. “I will definitely win,” he said emphatically.
