Sport 1 of Germany shed light on Kim Min-jae's recent performance and secret, saying on the 1st (Korean time) 'It is Kim Min-jae's miracle.
Kim Min-jae has been showing good performance under Kompany this season. It's different from what I felt sorry for last season. At the previous season, Kim Min-jae had difficulty adapting to Bayern, spending a distinctly different first half and second half.
Kim Min-jae had a disappointing performance in the second half, but in the first half, he played almost without a break to fill the vacancy without Dayot Upamecano and Matthias Derricht, taking charge of bad things. It is inevitable due to injuries to teammates, but Kim Min-jae also had a difficult time, showing signs of exhaustion during the league game due to continued full-time digestion. In the end, he had to keep the bench behind Eric Dier at the end of the season along with a disappointing slump in the second half.

In the previous game against Leverkusen, he proved that he can show steady defense in big matches. Kim Min-jae started against Leverkusen and performed very well. In the 11th minute of the second half, he won three consecutive aerial balls at a position where he crossed the half line to prevent Leverkusen from attacking. However, in the final header process, it collided with the high foot of the opposing midfielder Birz, creating a dizzying situation. Fortunately, Kim Min-jae got up from his seat without any injuries. In the 14th minute of the second half, Leverkusen attempted a counterattack and stole the ball even before crossing the half line with a cooperative defense with Musiala.
Leverkusen's aggressive forward defense did not allow Leverkusen's opportunity to attack itself. When the opponent tried to deliver the ball with a long ball in the 28th minute of the second half, Boniface blocked the ball by pushing it with a header before he even caught the ball. He also tried shooting himself. In the 33rd minute of the second half, when Comang's cross flowed in front of the gate in a free kick situation, Kim Min-jae tried to put his foot out in the process of losing his balance and handle the ball. However, the ball that left Kim Min-jae's foot was easily caught by Khradeki.
Kim Min-jae, who played full-time in the game, recorded a 92% pass success rate, one shot, two interceptions, seven ball possession, 75% ball competition, 50% air ball competition, and seven overall competition. The sense of stability was particularly outstanding in defense.

Germany's Sport 1 gave Kim Min-jae a team-high rating of 1.5 and added 'Kim Min-jae didn't have much to do in the first half. I showed my concentration, and I didn't make any big mistakes. Preferred to go forward like a torpedo when trying to play a long ball, intercepted the opponent's pass at the halfway line. That was exactly how Director Bang Sang Kompany wanted it to be.
The German kicker also recognized the performance award and put Kim Min-jae on the team of Lee Ju. Kicker announced the fifth round of the Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season. The list included Tuta, Omar Marmusch, Rasmus Christensen (Frank Frankfurt), Seru Girasi (Dortmund), Benjamin Seschko, Gulaci Peder (Leifich), Elias Saad (Jankt Pauli), Jonas Feurenbach (Heidenheim), and Jens Stake (Verder Bremen), and Kim Min-jae. He was the only Bayern Munich player. The kicker defended Kim Min-jae ' firmly and meticulously, and was strong in tackles and headers. Through his performance, he praised him for erasing questions about his class.
Sport 1 added 'Kim Min-jae had his best performance since joining Bayern against Leverkusen. Regarding Kompany, he also replied that he explains in detail what he wants to all players. This is a great compliment to Kompany. Kompany apparently leads the best performance in Kim Min-jae.

However, Matheus cheered when Kim Min-jae recently rebounded. He added "Bayern defenders have recovered their confidence. Center backs take risks, too. Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano, who have been criticized for the past year, both returned with confidence. If you watch Kim Min-jae's game, you can see why he was the best defender in Italy's Serie A two years ago," he said in compliments.

Kim Min-jae's life in Bavaria is also rebounding as he meets a teacher who recognizes his value. If he establishes himself as a clear main player under Kompany, he will be able to see Kim Min-jae playing as the main player in Bayern for a longer time.
