[풋볼리스트] Reporter In-hoe Heo = Fabiano Santa Croce, a former Napoli defender, praised Min-jae Kim’s ability to reach a world-class level.

The Italian football world is full of praise for Kim Min-jae. This is because Kim Min-jae, who moved to Naples during the summer transfer period and entered the European big leagues, has been showing great skills from the beginning of the season. On the 15th (Korean time), he also played as both airborne players on the stage of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time in his career, contributing to a 3-0 victory. In particular, he was involved in additional goals with storm dribbling, one of his strengths.

Santa Croce appeared on the radio show ‘Punto Nuovo Sports Show’ and said, “Only Kim Min-jae can grow to the level of Kalidu Coulibali.” Coulibaly is one of the world-class defenders as a center back for Kim Min-jae before he moved to Napoli. During the summer transfer period, he moved to Chelsea and entered the English Premier League (EPL), and Napoli chose Kim Min-jae as his replacement. As a result, it was a successful recruitment. Napoli are leading in both Serie A and UCL Group A.

Santa Croce continued to praise. “Napoli have found the only replacement capable of reaching the Coulibaly division. Kim Min-jae is an important player for the team and he will become stronger. He didn’t expect it, but following watching the game he thought, ‘He’s done it once more.’ He pays tribute to the club officials who signed Kim Min-jae.” The Italian revenge media also praised Kim Min-jae once more and once more.

Naples officials are also very satisfied with Kim Min-jae’s performance. After hearing questions regarding Minjae Kim and Hvicha Kvaratshelia, General Manager Cristiano Giantoli said, “Which of the two players surprised me the most? We’ve been watching both players. I am happy with their performance. Neither did surprise me. Because I knew both players well.”

Coach Luciano Spalletti said, “(Kim Min-jae and Amir Rahmani) won many individual competitions. Without them, we mightn’t win,” he said.
