German media 'Takes Zeitung (TZ)'Bayern revealed its defensive weakness in the opening match of the Bundesliga on the 27th (Korea time). 'Lautaire Mateus proposed an internal solution that Leon Goretzka could be an alternative,' he reported.
TZ said 'Bayern exposed a serious weakness in the Bundesliga opener against Wolfsburg. In particular, central defenders Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano did not leave a stable impression. It could have been a growing discontent among supporters over the transfer of Matthijs Matthijs Derricht to Manchester United.
Goretzka is a box-to-box midfielder with past experience as a center back.
Bayern won the opening match of the Bundesliga 3-2 in the 2024-2025 season against Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, Germany, on the 25th.
Kim Min-jae gave up a come-from-behind goal by making a fatal mistake. In the 10th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1, Kim Min-jae's back pass toward Neuer was caught by Beamer while struggling under opposition pressure. Beamer advanced and passed to Mayer. Mayer lightly kicked Neuer into the empty goal. It was a relief that the team succeeded in turning the tables again.
TZ added 'In theory, Bayern still have the possibility of recruiting additional defenders until August 30, when the transfer window ends. However, rumors of a transfer over German national team Jonathan Ta (Leverkusen) have subsided, pointing out that Bayern should find a solution inside.
Matheus said "Goretska saw the central defender in a recent friendly. He is a trained clap-to-box player. Retraining is also possible. You shouldn't say Koretska can't see the centre-back. "If Goretzka stays in Bayern and the central defense continues, we must think about it for sure."
Matheus was very harsh on Kim Min-jae.

Matheus went on to "I was concerned about that from the beginning. He is not stable in his guard. That's not what I expect at the highest level and it's not Bayern's level. His interpersonal defense skills that he showed in Naples have also disappeared. I can't see it from him."
In the German version of Sky Sports 'Mateus, Kim Min-jae is not at Bayern's level. After a weak debut season, Kim Min-jae thought this season would improve in every way. However, Kim Min-jae provided an excuse for a loss. I played a lot of bad passes before I got replaced. Matheus denied Kim Min-jae's qualities.
Sky Sports says it is interesting to watch Kim Min-jae's future. In a few weeks, rival Hiroki Ito will return from injury. There is also a movement to reinforce additional defenders, he said, adding that Kim Min-jae's position will be narrowed.
TZ says 'Time will tell if Goretzka will take over as central defender. In any case, Matheus clearly recognized the need and criticized Bayern for selling Dericht'
