"Monster Center Bag"Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) has been named a World All-Star by a media outlet.
Sports media 'SportsKida' selected 11 European All-Stars and World All-Stars (outside Europe) on its official SNS on December 31 (Korea time) last year.
Kim Min-jae is the only Asian player to be named a World All-Star.
Kim Min-jae entered the 2024-2025 season and regained Munich's key center back position and played in 24 games (two goals), including the Cup tournament, showing a clean performance.
In November last year, the International Sports Research Center (CIES) gave Kim Min-jae the highest score, 91.1 points, among center backs active on the European stage in the 2024-2025 season, based on the performance score of the scouting analysis platform 'WiceCout'. He has beaten world-class players such as Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) and Juven Díaz (Man City).

'CIES' did not introduce specific evaluation criteria, but it seems to have been scored by statistics such as one-on-one ground competition, aerial ball competition, intercept, clearing, and pass success rate, which are commonly used to evaluate defenders.
Since the days of Fenerbahce (Turkiye), Kim Min-jae has been praised for his height, interpersonal mark, interpersonal speed, speed, pass, pass, and be the best center back that modern football requires.
Kim Min-jae set up four backs with teammates Alfonso Davies (München) and `Lee Kang-in teammates' Achraf Hakimi and Marquignos (Paris Saint-Germain) at this World All-Star. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson defended the goal.
In the 4-3-3 formation, Hafigna (Barcelona), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) and Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle) set up the midfield, while Vinicius Junior (Real), Ademola Lukman (Atalanta), and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) set up the three-top.
