Kim Min-jae has been put to the test since joining Bayern Munich.
Munich will have a showdown with Darmstadt in the 26th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season at 11:30 p.m. on the 16th at Merck Am Wöllenfaltore in Darmstadt, Germany. Currently, Munich (57 points, 18 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses, 73 wins, 29 losses, +44) is in second place.
At a match against Lazio in the UEFA Champions League last week, coach Thomas Tuchel made drastic changes to the roster. He replaced Kim Min-jae with Eric Dier, who he had been playing for all season. He wanted to overcome his sluggishness and losing points.
Munich scored a great victory with multiple Kane goals and additional Thomas Muller goals. It feels good to score multiple goals, but the clean sheet (no goals lost) is also valuable. Lazio, who did not have a shot on goal, are not threatening, but Matthijs the Licht and Dyer combination kept the goal without any notable mistakes.
After the game ended, Dyer told British public broadcaster BBC, "With the situation we're in, today's game was a lot at stake. We handled it well. The season is still in full swing, and anything is possible in UCL. I'm looking forward to the next round we've been aiming for."
"(After joining Munich on loan), I am adjusting really well. The club, the city and the fans all accepted me to settle down easily. I really enjoy playing for Munich. I enjoy everything. I am doing my best to help the team," he said.
After returning to Germany, Munich also brought up Dyer and The Licht combination in the last round against Mainz. The result was successful. The two center backs did not allow chances to opposing strikers throughout the game. They lost one point, but it was not a big flaw.
Praises are pouring in. "Munich is back on track. They finally responded with a 3-0 victory over Lazio and an 8-1 victory over Mainz. Munich won all five games of Dyer and The Licht combination, and the two are in close communication."
According to the media, The Licht said, "The most important thing is communication. Defenders and midfielders had a lot of conversations. Things are going well with Dyer. They are also getting along really well."
On the other hand, Dayo Upamecano and Kim Min-jae are completely pushed back. The media said, "Upamecano is considered the best center back in the build-up, but he has not been able to stand out much yet." He added, "Kim Min-jae is the same. It is wrong to have a language barrier. The language that players use on the field is English."
Tuchel said, "Die plays very clearly and talks a lot. He coordinates the defense well and has close relations with The Licht as well. It must be a really difficult time for (Kim) Min-jae. He is qualified to play and is very good. However, sometimes that is the case (but he is excluded from the main match)," pointing out that the competition to become a starting member is twisted. 슬롯사이트
