Germany’s Bayern Munich failed to win three consecutive games. Then, they seem to blame Kim Min-jae again.
Bayern Munich drew 3-3 against Frankfurt in the sixth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season at Deutsche Bank Parc in Frankfurt, Germany on the 7th.
It was a rough match. Kim Min-jae scored his first goal of the season at the 15th minute of the first half, signaling a fresh start. However, he equalized to his opponent Omar Mamushi in the 22nd minute of the first half, and came from behind to Ekitike Oego in the 35th minute of the first half. Bayern Munich’s Dayo Upamecano and Michael Oliz scored back-to-back goals in the 38th minute of the first half, but they conceded another goal to their opponent in the second half of extra time. In the end, the match was a 3-3 draw.
Kim was not happy even with his first goal of the season. Kim joined Upamecano as a starter in the upcoming match. He also exposed loopholes that could collapse due to opponent team’s counterattack No. 3. 메이저놀이터
Bayern Munich had no win in three matches due to the winless performance. Following a 1-1 draw against Leverkusen in the fifth round of the Bundesliga, and 0-1 defeat against Aston Villa in the second round of the UEFA Champions League, the team tied Frankfurt again.
Then, he again seems to point out problems in defense. To be precise, criticism continues against Kim Min-jae and Upamecano, who are the main players of Bayern Munich this season.
Forbes, a U.S. economic magazine, also criticized Kim Min-jae and Upamecano, and the media urged the replacement of centerbacks as key players and recruit new centerbacks in the upcoming winter transfer market.
The media outlet said, “Was it Vincent Kompany’s first crisis? Bayern Munich did not win in three matches. It was tied with Frankfurt after a match against Leverkusen and a loss to Aston Villa. Bayern Munich’s defense problem was also revealed in the 3-3 draw with Frankfurt. In the three matches that they failed to win, the opposing team created a good opportunity by taking advantage of the defense mistakes made by Kim Min-jae and Upamecano.”
“Kompany avoided immediate answers when asked about his defender’s mistake. Of course, he improved from last season, but Bayern Munich defenders struggled with his opponent’s fast forward. This result was expected because Frankfurt’s Mamushi was currently the best-formed striker in Germany. It showed how to beat Bayern Munich. He proved that teams with fast and technical strikers like Aston Villa and Frankfurt can lead to success if they fight back quickly. In fact, it was enough for Frankfurt to win.”
“What will this mean to Bayern Munich in the future? Kompany chose Kim Min-jae and Upamecano this season. Both players have not shown the quality that can be part of the winning formula. In other words, Kompany needs to adjust the starting lineup. Or we need to recruit a new center back for the system in the upcoming winter transfer market.”
