It was Kim Min-jae, who was close to perfection. German media gave Kim Min-jae the best first half of the year.
The first half of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season has been completed. In response, German media "90min" evaluated the defense's individual performance in the first half on the 23rd (Korea time). The media reported, "Bayern Munich boasts the best defense line in the Bundesliga, giving up only 13 runs in the first half."
The evaluation of Kim Min-jae stood out. The media said, "Kim Min-jae did not show that good performance in the beginning of the season. However, after that, he showed really outstanding performance. It was almost impossible to penetrate him. Like Dayo Upamecano, he showed a little sluggish performance in December. In the case of Kim Min-jae, the ups and downs were more pronounced, but the positive side was much more prominent."
The situation is quite contradictory to the previous season. Kim was evaluated as the "main culprit of poor performance" along with Upamecano in the latter half of last season. His performance was not perfect when he was playing for Napoli. He often lost points due to frequent mistakes. In the end, former coach Thomas Tuchel put Kim down to the bench. Kim became the "target" of the German media and finished the first season with the worst recruitment.
Kim was not frustrated. Last year, he said he would just play as big as possible. Eventually, he made a proper impression after the appointment of the coach Vincent Kompany. Kompany colored Munich with "extreme offensive football." His intention was to raise the defense line high and keep the opponent within a limited space. As a result, center backs had to pressure opponents from high positions and engage in build-ups. It was a perfect tactic for Kim.

In the end, Kim Min-jae's status changed in just one season. He succeeded in regaining stable defense capability. Kim drew attention due to his strong pressure and instantaneous power to take over ownership. On top of that, his ability to cover the back space based on his fast focus also stood out. It was Kim Min-jae who really stood out under Coach Kompany's tactic to elevate the defense line.
She even showed off her outstanding passing skills. Last season, Kim made frequent pass misses. While trying to forcefully pass the ball forward, Kim gave up possession and caused a counterattack several times. However, it was different this season. When Kim was attacking, he advanced to the center line and gave up bold passes to the center and sides. Kim Min-jae showed improvement in both sides of offense and defense by banking on his passing skills.
It eventually became Kompany's "one pick." Kim started all 24 games, including league and cup competitions, since the start of this season. Although he did not fully recover from his ankle injury, Kompany appointed Kim. It represented his high trust and solid position, but in the aftermath, he had to be somewhat disappointed in the last two league games.
Nonetheless, Kim Min-jae's performance was remarkable. Kompany was able to display extreme offensive tactics right after taking office thanks to his fast and solid defense. At the center of the attack was Kim Min-jae. "90 min" also acknowledged his influence by adding, "We must not forget how difficult it is for Kim Min-jae and Upamecano to perform in defense that maintains a high line. Most center backs would not have fully fulfilled this role." 메이저놀이터
Kim Min-jae, who had the best first half, is expected to take a break to maintain his performance in the second half. Kim Min-jae's first half was good last season as well. However, there was a problem that mistakes became more frequent in the second half. Therefore, it is important to maintain the current performance until the second half. Kim Min-jae also experienced this once, so he plans to prepare for the second half.
