Munich, face-off with Tottenham Hotspur on the 3rd at 8pm “New manager, tactics, and getting along well with players is important”
German professional football team Bundesliga’s Bayern Munich will face off against English professional football team Premier League (EPL)’s Tottenham Hotspur. National team defender Kim Min-jae joked, “I don’t want to face Son Heung-min as much as possible” ahead of the ‘Korean Derby’ he will face.
At a press conference held before the second match of the ‘Coupang Play Series’ against Tottenham, which will be held at 8 p.m. on the 3rd at Seoul World Cup Stadium, Kim Min-jae said, “I’ve only met (Son) Heung-min as an opponent during practice. This is my first time playing against a different team.” He added, “I’ll try to block him as best as I can, but there are many other capable players besides Son Heung-min, so I have to block them all well. I don’t think I want to face Son Heung-min as much as possible.”
The ‘Coupang Play Series’, which has excited football fans by inviting world-class clubs every summer, is continuing its success this year as well.
Last month, on the 31st, Tottenham, which Son Heung-min started, had a fierce battle against the professional soccer all-star team K-League, in which a total of 7 goals were scored.
This time, Son Heung-min’s Tottenham and Kim Min-jae’s Munich will have a ‘Korean derby’ at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Kim Min-jae, who expressed his anticipation by saying, “This is my first time spending a preseason in Korea with my team,” said, “I will listen carefully to Coach Vincent Kompany’s instructions and apply them. He demands a lot of active defense and one-on-one defense. In that sense, I think our styles fit well.”
Since Kim Min-jae has transferred to a new team every year, this summer is his first full preseason. Kim Min-jae said, “All preseasons are the same. The performance I show depends on how I do,” and “It’s important to get along well with the new coach, tactics, and players and show them well on the field.” He drew the line on the transfer rumors that surfaced after the end of the season, saying, “I have never talked about leaving the team,” and emphasized, “My biggest goal is to settle down well in Munich and show a good performance.” When asked if he enjoys the hot attention he receives, Kim Min-jae smiled and said, “I don’t really like being noticed. There are many players who are more famous than me, such as Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, and Jamal Musiala. I’m glad that the attention is divided among other players.” After visiting Munich, Kim Min-jae invited his teammates to dinner, creating happy memories. When asked about the atmosphere of the meal, he smiled and said, “All the players said it was really delicious, so I was grateful. Joshua Kimmich, in particular, ordered a lot of different dishes and ate well.” 바카라사이트
