Kim Min-jae expressed his fear of Son Heung-min.
Bayern Munich is scheduled to play two games of the “2024 Coupang Play Series” against Tottenham at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd. Prior to the match, Kim Min-jae, Munich’s top center back, attended the press conference.
The most talked-about match between Son and Kim was their showdown. As Son is playing as the best striker in the Premier League and Kim is a well-known center back in Europe, their showdown is bound to be exciting.
Kim Min-jae expressed anticipation of a showdown with Son Heung-min but also expressed fear. “I think I met him only when I was practicing, but it’s my first time to meet him as an opponent while I’m actually in another team,” Kim said.
Kim Min-jae added, “Since Heung-min is such a good player, we should try to stop him as well as possible, but Tottenham has many other capable players other than Son Heung-min. I should try to stop all the players well, but I don’t want to run into Heung-min as much as possible.” 스포츠토토
It is also the first time for Kim to come to Korea and start the pre-season. Kim was aware of this and expressed her expectations. Kim said, “I’m looking forward to it because it is my team’s first pre-season game in Korea. I was already playing in Germany, but this time, I explained Korean culture well to all the players, not just the young ones. I will recommend what the players want to eat and take them.”
Kim has already been spotted wandering around Apgujeong with the Munich players yesterday. Kim has already served food to the Munich players. When asked which players enjoyed the food the most, Kim replied, “I was grateful that all the players liked the food I served them. The players who ate the most were Kim Mi-hee and Gnabry.”
