Will there be a twist? Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich, who was originally mentioned as a candidate for release, was suddenly classified as a remaining player ahead of the appointment of a new coach. It is a twist.
Germany's Bild on Wednesday mentioned seven candidates who will leave Munich this summer. However, Kim was excluded from the list. Meanwhile, news that Munich would sell Kim after the season appeared to be in crisis, but the situation suddenly turned around. The seven Bild mentioned were Dayo Upamecano, Jojua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Alfonso Davis, Nusar Mazrawi, Leon Goretzka, and Kingsley Coman.
The story of the separation between Kim Min-jae and Munich erupted when Kim Min-jae was pushed out of the competition for the starting lineup in the second half. In particular, the loss of two fatal mistakes in the first round of the UEFA Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid was a big blow. At the time, manager Thomas Tuchel criticized the team for being "greedy," and since then, numerous media outlets have reported that Munich has put Kim Min-jae on the list of releases after the season. Since then, rumors have become more and more concrete, and Florian Flettenberg, a reporter for Sky Sports' German version, who is known to be familiar with the Munich news on the 10th, said, "Munich's leadership is looking for a new center back, including Jonathan Tata. Kim Min-jae and Upamecano will leave Munich."
Kim Min-jae's situation changed overnight because of the new coach. Rumors are mounting that Munich is aiming to take over from Tuchel, who stepped down at the end of this season, to coach Vincent Kompany of the English Premier League.
Kompany was one of the world's best center backs when he was an active player. Since joining Manchester City in 2008, he has played for 11 years until 2019, ushering in the golden age of Manchester City. He has won a total of four English Premier League championships and was named the EPL Player of the Year in the 2011-2012 season. In addition, he played 89 A-match games for the Belgium national team.
As a manager, Burnley, who was in the Championship Part 2 for the 2022-2023 season, has been promoted, but there are many concerns that he will be demoted to 19th place in the English Premier League this season, with only five wins, nine draws and 24 losses 24 points, but he will likely have a lot to learn from defenders at least. The same is true for Kim. In particular, the fact that Kongfani, the best center back, erased Kim from the killing club indicates that he recognizes Kim's ability. 안전놀이터 추천
In the meantime, Kim Min-jae continued to show his willingness to compete in Munich despite rumors that he would be released even if he was pushed out of the starting lineup and his playing time was drastically reduced. Now, the reward for that choice seems to be coming back to Kim Min-jae little by little.
