Bayern Munich’s key player Yozua Kimmich thanked his teammate Kim Min-jae and gave him advice at the same time.
Bayern Munich won 2-1 in two Coupang Play series against Tottenham Hotspur at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd (Korea time) thanks to Gabriel Vidovic’s first goal in the fourth minute of the first half and Leon Goretzka’s additional goal in the 11th minute of the second half.
On this day, Kim Min-jae won against Son Heung-min as Munich won, with Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min, a key member of the Korean national soccer team, starting side by side.
Munich, which took the lead with the first goal scored by Vidovic, a promising player born in 2003, dominated Tottenham throughout the first half, giving Tottenham players, including Son Heung-min, no chance to attack. According to the soccer statistics media “Foot Mob,” Munich recorded 12 shots in the 45 minutes of the first half, while Tottenham had only two.
With Kim Min-jae replaced in the 10th minute of the second half, Munich immediately widened the score gap with Goretzka’s additional goal. In the 20th minute of the second half, Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro allowed a chase goal, but won 2-1 without making an additional goal.
Jozua Kimmich, one of the best soccer players in the world beyond Germany, started as a third-line midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 format and contributed to his team’s victory. He played for only 45 minutes in the first half, but contributed to Munich’s control of the midfield by scoring 92 percent (24/26) in pass success rate, three chances creation and two recoveries.
Kimihi, who started playing for Munich in 2015 and played as a key Munich player as a right-back and central midfielder based on high soccer intelligence, quick judgment and a wide field of view, has played in 390 matches for Munich over the past nine years, scoring 42 goals and 104 assists.
Kimihi, who visited South Korea when he joined the Asian tour, proved why he is considered a world-class soccer player by performing well against Tottenham in front of domestic soccer fans.
Kim Mi-hee, who appeared in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone) after the game, said, “I had such a short time to talk about Korea, but I liked it because the stadium was so hot today,” adding, “Kim Min-jae invited me to the restaurant yesterday and tasted Korean food, and it was so good.”
The Munich team arrived at Incheon International Airport on the 1st, and Kim Min-jae reportedly served dinner to his colleagues who visited Korea.
Maximilian Koch, a reporter for German media “Avent Zeitung,” said on his social network service (SNS) on the 1st, “This evening’s Munich dinner in Seoul included the coaching staff and the head of Max Ebe. Kim Min-jae announced that he would invite the team to dinner in his country.”
Having tasted Korean food thanks to Kim, Kim gave advice to Kim, who suffered from difficulties last season. Kim, who joined Munich in the summer last year and played as a key defender for the first half of the season, was pushed out of the starting lineup from the second half of the year, and spent longer time on the bench.
To make matters worse, he was criticized for his poor performance in the difficult selection opportunity, and even the possibility of his release was mentioned less than a year after the transfer. 토토사이트
To his teammate who had difficulties, Kim Mi-hee said, “The most important thing is to find confidence for now,” adding, “And there is a good reason why Munich signed Kim Min-jae. He is a very strong player, and he fully proved this in today’s game,” adding, “I instilled confidence in Kim Min-jae.”
In fact, Kim Min-jae was highly evaluated by Munich officials during this summer’s pre-season training. He was also seen receiving compliments from new head coach Bang Sang-Kompany during the pre-season training in Germany.
