He was replaced in the 13th minute of the second half with a 4-0 lead. It was the consideration of director Bang Sang Kompany to arrange his physical strength.
After the game, Kim Min-jae said, `It ended with no runs, and it was a comfortable game with four goals in the first half.' `It was good to have a break as well.' Kim Min-jae started every game this season following last season and has been playing almost full time. On the physical burden, he said "It's hard, but there are players who play more than me. I'm comforted watching those players."
◇ Q&A with Kim Min-jae
-It's a 4-0 complete victory. And I also saved my stamina by running for 58 minutes.
▶First of all, it ended without losing a point. It was a comfortable game because I scored four goals in the first half. I was able to take a break. Thanks to that, I think I played a good game and a meaningful game.
-It was the same last season, and the playing time is long this season. Is there any part of your experiences of having difficulties last season that will help you arrange your fitness for this season?
▶Actually, I don't think that experience helps much. It's hard to just play, but there are other players other than me who are playing more than me, so I have to be comfortable watching them.
-There is a lot of feeling that the German media is bringing a particularly tight standard to Kim Min-jae.
▶Well, I'm just doing it. I don't know. The reason why I'm like that too. I'm not exactly sure. It'll get better if you just do something.
-The fans are rooting for Kim Min-jae a lot.
▶It will be every year, but thank you for your support and our players have no choice but to show good performance to the fans, so we will repay you with that.
