"Monster Centerback" Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) failed to make the German Bundesliga Team of the Year at this time selected by a statistical company.
On the 24th (local time), the statistics company 'HuscoredCom' unveiled the Bundesliga's best-ever score based on ratings since the opening of the 2024-2025 season.
In the 3-4-3 formation, there was no name for Kim Min-jae among the three backs. Kim Min-jae, who played in all 15 league games played by his team this season and showed off his overwhelming defense capability, scored 7.01 points on average. He was followed by "Soul Friend" Dayot Upamecano (7.21 points), Leipzig center back Willie Oban (7.14 points), and Eintracht Frankfurt defender Tuta (7.10 points).
Kim Min-jae is Munich's main center back who leads the league by dedicating only 13 goals, the minimum number of goals lost in 15 league games. Compared to Upamecano, Oban and Tuta, the interception is the second (21) after Upamecano, and the number of successful aerial ball acquisitions is the second (48) after Oban. Among center backs, the number of successful passes (1,538) was the highest. He also ranked first among the four center backs in terms of the number of intense runs (879) and active distance (10.6 kilometers).
It can be seen as a limitation of mechanical ratings.

Kim Min-jae was also behind Niko Schloterbeck (Dortmund) and Oban in the 2024 Bundesliga team of the year of 'HuscoordCom'.
Currently, the Bundesliga's best players this season included four players with the largest number of Munich players. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala were picked as midfielders along with Florian Birz and Grimaldo (Leberkusen). Harry Kane built a three-top with Omar Marmusi (Frankfurter) and Tim Kleindienst (Mönchengladbach).
The Bundesliga entered the winter break after 15 rounds. Kim Min-jae, who was injured in the first half, will take a break for about three weeks and prepare for the away game of Glatbach on the 12th of next month.
