New Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is said to have a lot of confidence in Kim Min-jae.
On the 20th (KST), Germany's TZ focused on Kim Min-jae. 'Kim Min-jae is under special management. Last season, Kim Min-jae started the season strong, but later showed a slight decline and eventually lost his place in the starting lineup. Many fans still haven't forgotten his disappointing performance in the UCL semifinals against Real Madrid. He was criticized by everyone, including former coach Thomas Tuchel, who reflected on his 2023-2024 season.
There was a lot of speculation about Kim's future this summer. Bayern will sell Kim in a year. There have been several transfer rumors, including strong interest from Inter Milan, but as things stand, Kim has no intention of leaving Bayern on his own.
He wants to make up for last season's disappointment this time around. In order for him to prove his worth, he needs to earn Kompany's trust. It's hard to prove yourself while spending time on the bench.
Fortunately, Kompany reportedly has a lot of trust in Kim. 'Kim has impressed in training at Bayern,' says TZ. The player hopes to find his way back to his aggressive, old self next season under Kompany. According to reports from 파워볼사이트 Bayern training, Kim Min-jae has been showing good form in the first week of training.
'Coach Kompany is a big fan of the 6-foot-4 player. Obviously, Kim will have a new chance to prove himself next season,” adding that Kim has the trust of Kompany.
In order to translate Kompany's tactical ideals on the pitch, he needs a defensive-minded, proactive center back like Kim Min-Jae. It's also important to note that Kim finished the 2023-2024 season and was able to focus on his preparation without any distractions.
Last season, his preparations were disrupted by military training and the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in the middle of the season. This time around, however, he only has to focus on the upcoming season with Bayern.
Of course, the competition is fierce. Bayern are trying to get rid of Maarten De Ligt, but they already have Hiroki Ito on board, and once De Ligt is gone, Jonathan Tah will be next in line. Tah had a great season in the German Bundesliga last season. There is also Eric Dier, who has exceeded expectations since joining Bayern, and Dayo Upamecano, who is looking to redeem himself.
What's clear is that if Kim is on his game, he's a force to be reckoned with. There aren't many players in the world who have shown as many highs as Kim Min-jae.
