A Japanese player who felt the aftermath of “chidal” of curiosity about Kim Min-jae was moved by “too smart”…Monster Completion Is Beyond Imagination, ‘Soccer Intelligence’
Even Japanese players who kick the ball smartly are smart enough to stick their tongues out. This is why Kim Min-jae (27, Bayern Munich) is a monster.
Kim Min-jae started in a Tokyo Tour 2023 pre-season friendly match against Kawasaki Frontale at Tokyo National Stadium in Tokyo on the 29th and made his debut in Bayern Munich, playing 45 minutes in the first half.
Kim Min-jae received basic military training from June to July, and it has only been about 10 days since he joined Bayern Munich. He lost his weight from 85kg to 80kg and is in the process of building his body, and his performance was close to perfect. Kawasaki’s attackers were lethargic in the first half when Kim Min-jae was holding out. He didn’t even try a proper shot. Kim Min-jae showed stable defense, high-probability build-up, and even attack power that terrorizes the opponent. It was literally the ‘Perfect’ debut.
Kawasaki players who faced Kim Min-jae were all tongue-tied. Wing forward Segawa Yusuke, who was robbed of the ball while trying to run behind Kim Min-jae at the beginning of the game, met reporters in the joint coverage area after the game and said, “I thought it was a good way to narrow the gap and predict quickly.” That was really fast. I felt that my body was heading for the ball earlier than I thought. A forward pass is also good. It was really fast. It’s very dynamic, but you looked so smart. He seems like a really good player. He was a player with a big presence,” he said. He then said, “I felt like I was a big player. I think it’s amazing that an Asian player plays for a big team called Bayern Munich. Personally, it was stimulating,” he added.
Another striker, Kobayashi Yu, said, “He is a very clear player. He was really good at responding depending on the situation, whether he was defending fiercely or defending at intervals from the opponent. “I felt that he was a smart player, too,” he said, giving a similar evaluation to Segawa.
I know Kim Min-jae well, but the thoughts of veteran goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong, who faced him in the game for the first time, were no different. Jung Sung-ryong said, “I felt like a wall. Not only defense but also set pieces and attack situation sprint are great. My condition hasn’t come up at all, but it’s that bad. “I think it will be really scary when my condition comes up,” he said. 스포츠토토
Kim Min-jae is nearly 190 centimeters tall. Physical strength is second only to Western players. It has tremendous physical ability here. Compared to its size, it is very fast and has good elasticity, so it has excellent aerial ball handling ability. In terms of computers, “hardware” is the best. Not only that, but also the technology is good. Soft ball touch and accurate pass are excellent. Kim Min-jae is a player who skillfully performs all the plays that Hyundai Football requires from the center back. It is Kim Min-jae who is equipped with the latest software based on high-specification hardware.
It is possible because high soccer intelligence is based on the basics. Kim Min-jae sees the opponent’s movement and reacts quickly to continue the next move. When strong pressure comes in, it instinctively uses the opponent’s direction of movement to get out of the pressure and connects the pass toward a player who can quickly switch to an attack using a wide field of view. On the same day, he delivered accurate passes to central midfielders Joshua Kimihi, Konrat Reimer, or Jamal Musiala, serving as a starting point for the attack. He only played one game, but Kim Min-jae proved why he was a monster.
