We will tell you about the rumor of Kim Min-jae being released from Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel (51) attended a press conference before the game against Real Madrid held at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on May 8, 2024, and mentioned Kim Min-jae’s benching.

Munich will play the second leg of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League semifinals against Real at the same venue at 4 a.m. on May 9, 2024.
Minjae Kim started alongside Dier in the first game, but had a shocking night as he was involved in both goals conceded to Vinicius.

Kim Min-jae (27), who missed the opportunity by performing poorly at such a critical moment, is pushed back again.
When asked about central defense at a press conference, Tuchel said, “At this point, Eric Dier (30) and Matthijs De Ligt (24) are ahead of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae,” and added, “They deserve to continue playing together.

“Delicht, who was injured, has been given the green light and can play tomorrow,” he said.

Results of the first leg of the semi-final against Real Madrid

Previously, in the first leg of the semifinals between the two teams held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, they exchanged two goals and ended up with a 2-2 score.
Vinicius Junior (23) scored the first goal in the 24th minute of the first half, giving Real the lead.

Munich began a counterattack in the second half.
Leroy Sane (28) scored a penalty kick in the 8th minute of the second half, and Harry Kane (30) scored a penalty kick in the 12th minute of the second half, bringing the score to 2-1.

Real led the away draw when Vinicius Junior equalized the score with a penalty kick in the 38th minute of the second half.
Minjae Kim started alongside Dier in Game 1, but he had a shocking night as he was involved in both goals conceded to Vinicius.

Semi-final first half match result

In the 24th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae left his seat and went up to follow Vinicius, who was moving to receive a pass.
The Real attackers were tying down the Munich defense and creating a wide space between the defense, so when Kim Min-jae went up, a large space was instantly created in the Munich defense.

Real players were not worthy of missing such a gap.
Vinicius quickly penetrated into the space behind Kim Min-jae, and Toni Kroos (34), who had the ball, also made an elaborate pass through the defense.

Vinicius, who received Cross’ pass, easily finished the attack with a right-footed shot in a one-on-one situation.

Results of the second half of the first leg of the semifinals

In the 36th minute of the second half, he used a hand in blocking Rodrygo (23), who received a pass from Vinicius, and ended up giving away a penalty kick when Rodrygo fell.
The referee declared a penalty kick and gave Kim Min-jae a warning.

In the end, Munich drew in the first leg of the semifinals held at home after conceding two goals resulting from Kim Min-jae’s mistakes.
Because the second leg is a difficult away game against Real, it is impossible to guarantee whether Munich will advance to the Champions League final.

Above all, there is great concern because Real is a ‘strong home team’.
According to Spain’s ‘Ass’, the last time Real allowed their opponent to advance to the top tournament in the second leg at home after drawing in the first leg away in a Champions League tournament was in 1991.

At that time, Real drew 0-0 away to Spartak Moscow and lost to Moscow at home.
However, from then on, Real always won after a draw and went up.

Also, coach Carlo Ancelotti (64) has never lost to Munich.
The fact that Real has not lost once at their home Santiago Bernabeu since early April 2023 increases Munich’s concerns.

This is also why Kim Min-jae’s mistake feels even more fatal.
It’s a consequential story, but if Kim Min-jae had not made two mistakes, Munich could have expected a different result.

Post-match interview with manager Thomas Tuchel

In an interview after the first leg, Tuchel said, “Kim Min-jae should not defend too aggressively. It’s okay if he can get the ball, but if not, he shouldn’t go that far.” He added, “Kim Min-jae is too greedy. There is no pressure on the ball. “He plays too easily. In that situation, no one can help Minjae Kim,” he criticized.

After this game, Minjae Kim was selected as a starter again in the Bundesliga match against Stuttgart held on the 4th.
He worked with Dier in place of Matthijs De Ligt, who could not return from injury, and gave up 3 goals again, failing to prevent the team from being defeated 1-3.

Kim Min-jae’s transfer rumor

For Kim Min-jae, the first season after moving to Munich is approaching as an ordeal.
He moved to Munich last year, in the summer of 2023.

So far, he has played 34 official matches, including the Bundesliga, Champions League and German Football Association (DFB) Pokal.
In October 2023, he ranked 22nd out of 30 candidates at the Ballon d’Or award ceremony, given to the world’s best player, and achieved the highest ranking among defenders.

Kim Min-jae, who played full-time in 15 games in the first half of the season and had to endure a schedule that was close to being harsh, often sat on the bench in the second half, losing out to the Dier-Delicht combination.
As Kim Min-jae was pushed out of the starting lineup, rumors of his transfer to various clubs arose.

Minjae Kim signed a contract with Munich last summer until the summer of 2028.
Although there was a lot of time left until his contract expired, several clubs wanted Kim Min-jae, who was on the bench despite his high-level skills.

Serie A side Inter Milan said they wanted him on loan, and there were also links with Manchester United, who competed with Munich for Kim Min-jae last summer.

Napoli Kim Min-jae recruitment rumor

Germany’s TZ reported on the 7th that Kim Min-jae was classified as for sale, saying, “Munich is worried about the transfer failure. The price tag has already been set.”
TZ explained, “The two mistakes against Real Madrid worsened Kim Min-jae’s internal evaluation and made many fans angry. The board is ready to let Kim Min-jae go after one season as long as a reasonable offer is made.”

He also added, “Recently, there was a movement in Napoli that they want Kim Min-jae to return. If Napoli pays 50 million euros, Munich is willing to sell Kim Min-jae.”
This means that they are willing to sell if they can recoup the transfer fee paid when recruiting Kim Min-jae.

Last month, Germany’s Sport also said, “There are now voices within Munich classifying Kim Min-jae as a bad signing. It is a logical result. Tuchel believes Kim Min-jae is a problem for his game plan. The most recent match against Heidenheim In the game, Kim Min-jae started again, but did not show a good performance at all, being involved in 2 of the 3 goals conceded,” he said. “In the match against Arsenal, Tuchel placed Kim Min-jae on the bench and appointed Eric Dier and Matthijs De Licht as starters.” “He said.

In addition, “Munich, the defending Bundesliga champion, gave a whopping 50 million euros (approximately 73.1 billion won) to Italian champion Napoli to recruit Kim Min-jae last summer. But one thing is clear: Kim Min-jae will not show performance to justify the transfer fee in his first season. He pointed out that Kim Min-jae showed an unsatisfactory performance compared to the transfer fee, saying, “I wasn’t able to do it.”

At the same time, “There is confusion in Kim Min-jae’s future. It is unclear what will happen to Kim Min-jae after this season. Selling Kim Min-jae after one season is not a big problem in Munich,” he said, adding that Kim Min-jae will be kicked out of Munich after one year. I wrote that I could.

Kim Min-jae, who looked like he would get another opportunity due to injuries to his teammates, missed the opportunity due to poor performance in an important game, and his position became unstable again.
As transfer rumors begin to circulate, his future in Munich is also becoming increasingly unclear. 토토사이트
