Sport 1 in Germany highlighted an interview conducted by other German media and Matheus on the 5th (Korea time). Matheus said "Bayern needs a leader, a man who leads the man next to him in defence. Because the leader is not Kim Minjae either Not even Upamecano. Both are talented and great players, but they are not players who are inherently leaders, he said.
Last season, Matheus also publicly shot Kim Min-jae. Matheus said "Kim Min-jae does not have the necessary level of stable, clear, and fast pass. I didn't like that about Kim Min-jae from the beginning. There is no sense of stability when Kim Min-jae has the ball. He also raised the level of criticism, saying, "That's not the kind of play I expect at the highest level and I can't do that at Bayern."

In this regard, Sport 1 said "Last summer, Bayern sold De Ligt to Manchester United for 45 million euros (about 67.5 billion won). Since then, Kim Min-jae and Upamecano have formed a center back duo. In particular, Kim Min-jae sometimes made mistakes. It could be a mistake related to achilles tendon pain that I've had since the beginning of October," he said, pointing out Kim Min-jae openly.

Kim Min-jae could have performed better this season, but he continues to be overworked after his injury. There is no choice but to have a bad effect on the performance. If Hiroki Ito returns quickly and Kim Min-jae takes a break, he will be able to show a better performance. It's just a pity that this criticism is leading to the injured player.
