Despite Kim Min-jae's fatal mistake, Bang Sang Kompany and his teammates covered him.

Kim Min-jae started in the opening match of the 2024-2025 Bundesliga against Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, Germany, on the 25th, but he made a fatal mistake and provided an excuse for a loss and was replaced in the 36th minute of the second half.

Kim Min-jae's back pass toward Neuer was caught by Patrick Beamer in the 10th minute of the second half while Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg were struggling under opposition pressure in the match. Kim Min-jae's pass fell in front of Bimmer as it was, and Bimmer immediately drove the ball forward into the box. Mayer, who received the ball afterwards, shook the Bayern net with an accurate shot and allowed a come-from-behind goal. For Kim Min-jae, both defensive concentration and judgment were disappointing.

The German media and fans criticized Kim Min-jae. German media gave Kim Min-jae the lowest rating and evaluated him as the worst among Bayern players. Some fans said of Kim Min-jae, "'He's for sale in Asia.'" "We need to send him to the second team. need a new recruitment", "The conclusion that Tuchel excluded Upamecano and Kim Min-jae was correct..." he also strongly reprimanded.

However, Kompany and captain Manuel Neuer had different ideas. Regarding Kim Min-jae's mistake, Kompany said "I don't want to talk about Kim Min-jae's mistake, I only want to talk about the reaction afterwards. After that, our response was good," he said, emphasizing only the part that rebounded and reversed even after the mistake.

Neuer also stressed that such mistakes are only part of the game. German kicker 'Bayern's Sasha Boy and Kim Min-jae made serious mistakes. Nonier, however, said he wasn't worried that the team didn't go smoothly.

Neuer said "That's just part of the game"It's a mistake we don't usually make, and it's a mistake we haven't made before. It is a careless mistake that must be dealt with coldly. Maybe the result of this game is a relief, and I got three points," he said, covering for Kim Min-jae's mistake.

Then "The loss situation has nothing to do with communication. The situation is clear. I know you're also communicating in body language. It is important to know what each other means. The same goes for Upamecano and Upamecano, he said, adding that the lack of communication between Upamecano and Kim Min-jae was not a problem.

Despite the fatal mistake, the coach and captain covered Kim Min-jae. After this slump, Kim Min-jae is expected to desperately need a rebound to repay the beliefs of the two.
