'Monster Center Bag'Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) made a mistake a week before the opening.
Kim Min-jae started as a left center back in a pre-season friendly against Tottenham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 11th (Korea time) and provided an excuse for the first goal with a fatal header pass miss in the first minute of the first half.
About 20 seconds into the game, Tottenham striker Dejan Klusevski blocked the header of a high ball near the bottom of the half-line to a teammate next to him. Tottenham, who immediately counterattacked, quickly scored Brennan Johnson's cross with Kulusevski's non-stop shot.

Kim Min-jae was raising expectations for the new season with the trust of new coach Bang Sang Kongpani Munich, such as wearing the captain's armband during the pre-season tour in Korea. Although the game was not an official match, the failure to properly handle an ordinary air ball is unlikely to look good to coach Kongpani, who was a defender. Kim Min-jae had already lost his position due to frequent mistakes in his first season in Munich. He went to the Qatar Asian Cup and gave up his main position in the second half.
Moreover, Munich is seeking to recruit Leverkusen center back Jonatantha this summer. If Matthijs de Ligt moves to Manchester United, it is widely expected that he will make an offer to the German national team. The recruitment of other players with strong physicality is likely to be a direct hit on Kim Min-jae's position.

Munich, which finished empty-handed last season, will start its 2024-2025 season with Ulm in the first round of DFB Pokal on the 17th.
Munich, which was being dragged, balanced the game 1-1 as of the 20th minute of the first half with Kim Min-jae's center back partner Dayot Upamecano's equalizer in the 16th minute of the first half. In a free-kick situation, Yosua Kimmich's kick was accurately touched by Matistel on his forehead. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario blew himself away and blocked it, but Upamecano calmly pushed the ball that bounced off.
In the 30th minute, Munich scored a comeback goal for Serge Gnabry, who came from Arsenal. Tottenham lost the ball while trying to build up in front of the goal. Gnabry scored a sharp mid-range shot on the ball that flowed backward.
Son Heung-min started as a left-handed striker, and striker Dominic Solanke, who joined for 65 million pounds, visited the stadium in plain clothes. Harry Kane (Munich), the 'Tottenham legend', starts from the bench for now. Kane received a commemorative plaque from Tottenham before the game with Eric Dier.
