Coach Bang Sang Kompany forgave Kim Min-jae (28, Munich) for his fatal mistake.
Bayern Munich came from behind to win 3-2 against VfL Wolfsburg in the first round of the Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, Germany, at 10:30 p.m. on the 25th (Korea time). Munich won the opening match and started to regain the Bundesliga title.
Kim Min-jae made a major accident. He made an unforgettable mistake as a defender. In the 10th minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae gave up a goal by a fatal mistake when the two teams were locked at 1-1. Kim Min-jae in the back attempted a back pass to the goalkeeper. Beamer pressed Kim Min-jae and put his foot on him. The ball was deflected and Beamer intercepted the ball. Confused, Kim Min-jae chased after him late, but he couldn’t catch up to Beamer. Mayer took a pass from Beamer and scored a goal. 토토사이트
Kim Min-jae’s obvious mistake led to a loss. It was a scene that should not be done as a defender. Kim Min-jae, who immediately sensed the mistake after being pierced by the striker, was disappointed looking at the ground. Munich succeeded in coming from behind to win 3-2 with two consecutive goals by Kaminsky and Gnabry. If Munich had lost, Kim Min-jae would have taken all the responsibilities.
It’s a relief in the midst of misfortune. Kompany covered Kim Min-jae after the game. He said, “The team had a very good mentality. I don’t want to talk about Kim’s mistakes. I just want to talk about the reactions. Everyone was very good,” without mentioning Kim’s mistakes.
It is similar to the decisive factor in Kim Min-jae’s nomination last season. Kim made a mistake against Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, completely losing sight of Thomas Tuchel. In the end, Tuchel completely removed Kim from the rotation and added Eric Dier.
With the arrival of the new Kompany coach, everything started from zero again. Nevertheless, it is not good that Kim Min-jae made another mistake from the opening game. I can let one mistake go. But if mistakes are repeated again, they are also skills. Kim Min-jae has no choice but to admit it.
In the opening match, Kompany had Kim run for 81 minutes before switching with Eric Dier. It is a bad sign for Kim. Still, I can let it slide at least once. If Kim Min-jae’s mistakes are repeated, the situation cannot be reversed.
Munich will play the second round on Sept. 2 against Freiburg. Kim still has a chance to pick up.
