[스포티비뉴스=장승하·장하준 영상기자]’Ballon d’Or winner’ Fabio Cannavaro showed interest in Kim Min-jae.
Cannavaro, a legend of Naples and Italy and whom Kim Min-jae chose as his idol, has many points of contact with Kim Min-jae.
Not only did they play the same center back position, but they also experienced Chinese football at the same time. Cannavaro took the helm of Guangzhou Hengda Taobao (now Guangzhou FC) from 2017 to 2021, and Kim Min-jae played a big role in Beijing Guoan from 2019 to 2021.
Cannavaro, who had his eyes on Kim Min-jae, who was the opponent center back at the time, is showing a lot of interest following Kim Min-jae joined Napoli.
In an interview with ‘Calcionapoli’ on the 13th, Cannavaro praised him generously, saying, “Kim Min-jae was the best in China, and now he has improved even more.”
Also, he added, “The only downside of Kim Min-jae that I saw during his time in China was that he was so good that he sometimes became conceited.”
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae is preparing for the starting match once morest Frankfurt, the second leg of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League round of 16, on the 16th (Korean time).
