"Monster Center Back" Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) was replaced with a disappointing performance in his new coach's debut.
Kim Min-jae suffered a humiliation of being replaced during the game by making a mistake in the opening game of the German Bundesliga in 2024-2025 against Wolfsburg at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 26th (Korea time).
Kim Min-jae, who took the opportunity to start from the opening game under new coach Bang Sang-Kongpani, was blocked from the back pass near the right sideline of the defense in the 10th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1 with goals from Jamal Musiala in the 19th minute of the first half and Lobro Majer in the 2nd minute of the second half.
Kim Min-jae, who felt the seriousness of the counterattack and the situation immediately met, chased after him, but it was not enough to prevent Majer's comeback goal. Kim Min-jae, caught on the broadcast screen, sighed deeply.
Fortunately, Munich brought the game back to square one with Jakub Kaminsky's own goal in the 20th minute of the second half.

In the 36th minute of the second half, when Munich was pulling the reins of the chase, head coach Bang Sang Kongpani called Kim Min-jae to the bench and put in Eric Dier. It is unusual to replace a center back during the game. There is a possibility that it may be a disciplinary replacement for Kim Min-jae's performance.
Munich scored a comeback goal after Kim Min-jae stepped down to the bench. In the 37th minute of the second half, Serge Nabri, who was handed a pass by Harry Kane, scored a dramatic winning goal. Munich, which won the championship to Leverkusen last season, won the opening game with a sweat, and Kim Min-jae sweated.
Kim Min-jae lost his starting position in the second half of the 2023-2024 season, his first season in Munich, due to frequent mistakes. In particular, in the semifinals of the European Champions League against Real Madrid, he was helplessly penetrated by real striker Vinicius Junior and suffered a cut in his pride. Dyer, who moved from Tottenham in January, naturally took over the starting lineup. Ahead of the opening of this season, rival Matthijs de Ligt moved to Manchester United and started in the opening game, raising expectations, but returning was '1st mistake of the season'. It was an unforgettable scene even with the team's victory. As of Huscored, both teams received the lowest rating of 5.3 points. It's a start that could not be more unsettling.
