Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) will be presented with a new car when he returns to Munich, where he served as the interim captain of the Korean national soccer team and led the two consecutive A matches in October.
The German daily Bild reported on the 15th (local time) that Munich players received a new car from the club's sponsor, auto brand Audi. Major players, including head coach Bang Sang Kongpani, Harry Kane, Jojua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer, participated in the vehicle award ceremony. Some players, including Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Ito, seem to have been absent due to the A-match schedule.
As a big club with soccer fans all over the world, all vehicles given to players to set an example are electric cars, the club explained. Midfielder Konrad Reimer said "It's the best event for everyone to see a new car. It's special."
