Munich won the first European club competition since Bayern Munich's Max Ebe openly praised him, but Kim Min-jae (28) could feel regret.
National defender Kim Min-jae started as a central defensive duo with Dayo Upamecano in the first leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League (UCL) phase at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 18th (Korea time) and played until he was replaced by Eric Dier in the 24th minute of the second half. The team won a 9-2 victory with Harry Kane's four-goal performance. 메이저놀이터
According to Footmob, a soccer statistics firm, Kim touched the ball 79 times and recorded a pass success rate of 95 percent (73 attempts). He had eight passes in the area of attack. However, indicators of his main job was poor. Ground ball competition failed both times. Air ball competition ended with only one successful attempt after five attempts.
He also provided an excuse for losing points. When Zagreb Marco Pacha touched the ball at the door in the third minute of the second half, he failed to control it. Bruno Petkovic scored a comeback goal with the ball that Pacha turned.
Footmob gave Kim Min-jae the lowest rating of 6.3 among field players who started in Munich. Upamecano gave Kim the second lowest score of 6.9. The only team that scored in the six-point range is the central defense duo. Another statistical company, "Sophas Score," also gave Kim the lowest score of 6.2.
Munich scored four goals, with Kane scoring a hat-trick only through penalty kicks, while Michael Olise also scored multiple goals. Rafael Geheiro, Leroy Sane, and Leon Goretzka each scored one goal. They carpet-bombed Dinamo Zagreb, a 25-time Croatian league champion.
Kim won public trust from Ebbele ahead of the match. According to the British newspaper Mirror, Ebbele spoke out about the transfer of center defender Matthias de Ligt to Manchester United despite fan resistance and a signature-collecting campaign for his stay this summer.
"We had to sell our players (due to the reorganization of the defense), and we had no choice but to make a decision," he said. "I thought it was safer for Upamecano and Kim Min-jae to be able to defend higher. Then, De Ligt got an offer."
In an unusual move, Kim gave a "better" rating than De Ligt, mentioning a specific player's name. However, the local media's harsh assessment of Kim continues. The match against Dinamo Zagreb was an opportunity for Kim to reverse such criticisms. However, he failed to leave a strong impression in defense. Kim is not the only one to take responsibility, but the figures revealed are indelible.
