Dejan Kulusevski delivered his experience against Kim Min-jae.
Tottenham played the second game of the 2024 Coupang Play Series against Bayern Munich at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd (Korea time). In the match, Son Heung-min started as Tottenham’s left flanker wearing the captain’s armband.
The highly anticipated one-top striker Kulusevski, a member of the Swedish national team, was in place. Tottenham has been in contact with various strikers since Harry Kane left for Munich last summer, but failed to find a suitable replacement.
As a result, Son Heung-min, whose main position is left flanker, frequently played as central striker. However, Coach Enze Postecoglou has changed his tactics by deploying Kulusevskiy as the central striker in two pre-season games in succession, not Son.
Then, the confrontation between Kim Min-jae and Kulusevski, who started as Munich’s central defender, was repeated throughout the game. In the 10th minute of the first half, Kulusevski dribbled past Kim Min-jae and took a left-footed shot. This did not lead to a goal due to Munich defender Josip Stanisic.
Kulusevski also fired a threatening shot in the third minute of the second half. Son attempted a shot near the inside of the penalty box and passed the pass to Kulusevski in the empty space when it fell on the defender’s foot. Kulusevski connected it with a direct shot, but it went off the goal. 먹튀검증
In other scenes, Kulusevski was blocked by Munich’s defense team, which led to Kim Min-jae and Stanisic, and failed to perform well. In fact, Kulusevski played 75 minutes in the first half of the day, but was sluggish with only two shots, a dribbling success rate of 50 percent, a cross success rate of 33 percent, and a ground ball competition rate of 43 percent.
Asked how he felt about facing Kim Min-jae after the match, Kulusevski said, “I knew he was a good player originally, and after playing, I felt he was even better. The game itself was very difficult.”
Meanwhile, Kulusevski had one goal and two assists in Tottenham’s two pre-season games before the match against Munich. In other words, Kim Min-jae and Munich successfully blocked Kulusevski, who boasts the best sense of goal.
