Rather than being shaken by rumors of a transfer, it is time to renew commitment. Kim Min-jae, who moved to Bayern Munich in July last year, was excluded from three consecutive games for the first time, raising rumors of a crisis. However, he is likely to have a chance as his team is set to play a tight schedule in early April.
Kim Min-jae, who returned to Munich after completing his A-match schedule in March, will resume his team’s schedule as a der Clasiker against Dortmund in the 2023-24 Bundesliga regular season on the 31st. As he was excluded from the second leg of the round of 16 against Lazio (Italy) in the UEFA Champions League on the 5th and three consecutive league matches against Mainz and Darmstadt on the 9th and 16th, respectively, a turnaround in the atmosphere is urgent.
Kim Min-jae, who was pushed back by transfer student Eric Dyer, maintained his sense of play by playing two consecutive games in Thailand for the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North and Central America World Cup in the Korean men’s soccer team. In an away match in Thailand on the 26th, he led the game without allowing a single goal in eight games, and his unique forward pressure and bold judgment stood out.
Kim was calm. “I’m waiting for my chance now,” Kim said of the Munich competition after two matches against Thailand. “I’m doing well at the training ground, and I’m doing well without being lazy, so you don’t have to worry too much.” As Kim said, the team will likely have a chance to play soon. Starting with the match against Dortmund, Munich will play in the 28th round of the league against Heidenheim on June 6, the quarterfinals against Arsenal (England) in the UEFA Champions League on June 10, and the 29th round against Cologne on June 13. Munich, which was eliminated from the German Football Confederation (DFB) Pokal Cup early, is now 10 points behind Leverkusen, which is ranking first in the league, and needs to win every match.
Arsenal are also far ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City in the 28th round of the English Premier League. For Munich coach Thomas Tuchel to secure as many wins as possible in early April, it is important to deploy players to ensure the optimum number of matches as possible. Kim Min-jae should also demonstrate his true value in the game through rotation to catch Tuchel’s attention.
Kim Min-jae is still valuable. Kim Min-jae was included in the top 11 list of Bundesliga players’ market value announced by Transfer Markt, a football transfer media, on Thursday. He was listed as a central defender along with his teammate Mathias Derricht at 55 million euros, down 5 million euros (7.3 billion won) from the previous level. 토토사이트 순위
Meanwhile, Munich said on its website that it will hold a friendly match against Tottenham on August 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Kim Min-jae will face his national team teammate, and Harry Kane will face his former teammate Son Heung-min.
