The key resources of Klinsmann, who led the World Cup qualifiers to two consecutive wins, returned to his team and made a pleasant victory.

"Monster defender" Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) started in the 12th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season against Cologne at Cologne Rhine-Energistadion in Germany on the 25th, supporting his team's 1-0 scoreless victory.

Kim Min-jae played full-time in 15 consecutive games, including this day, despite controversy over abuse raised in Germany as well. Munich coach Thomas Tuchel started the rotation in some positions, including starting striker Eric Maxim Chupomoting and putting left-back Alfonso Davis on the bench, but Dayot Ukamecano, Kim Min-jae's center back partner, could not rest on the day. This is because only two senior center backs are Kim Min-jae and Ukamecano, with Matthijs de Licht suffering from long-term injuries. Kim Min-jae said on A Match Day, "It's better to play than not to play well. I think we need to take good care of how we can not break our concentration in it, he said.

Kim Min-jae, who also played against Singapore and China in two consecutive A matches in November and led the national team to two consecutive wins, may be exhausted, but he showed a strong performance again on the day. It recorded 95% pass success rate, 3 interceptions, 7 recoveries, 2 competitive wins, and 67% success rate in aerial ball competition.

There was a dizzying scene. In the 14th minute of the first half, he fell on the grass complaining of extreme pain after hitting hard on the ground with opposing striker Davizelke. The risk of injury was detected, but after a brief inspection by medical staff, he took the ground and devoted himself to defense.

Munich maintained their lead for most of the game with Harry Kane's opening goal in the 20th minute. Kane, who moved from Tottenham to Munich last summer, became the first player to score 18 goals in 12 Bundesliga games since the opening. In addition, he broke the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the English player Bundesliga in 12 games. The previous record was 17 goals held by Jadon Sancho (now Manchester United) and Kevin Keegan. 스포츠토토

The national soccer team, led by coach Klinsmann, played its second World Cup qualifying match against Singapore at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 16th. Kim Min-jae is playing.

Munich faced a fierce counterattack from their opponents in the second half. However, the defense team centered on Kim Min-jae did not falter. In particular, despite playing as a left center back, Kim Min-jae showed his "walkle defense ability" to block the ball by running to the right end of the defense line from the opponent's threatening counterattack chance in extra time. The game ended in Munich's 1-0 victory.

Munich maintained its upward trend by winning 12 consecutive league games unbeaten and four consecutive games, including cups. He scored 32 points with 10 wins, 2 draws, and 32 points, bringing down Leverkusen (31 points), who played one game less, and recapturing the lead.

Kim Min-jae will prepare for the European Champions League group stage match against Copenhagen on the 30th after a short break.

Meanwhile, on the same day, "genius midfielder" Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) rested. It was included in the 13th round replacement list for AS Monaco and Ligue 1 at home stadium Parc des Princes, but the opportunity to play did not return. PSG defeated Monaco 5-2 with relay goals from Gonzalo Hamus, Kylian Mbappe, Usman Dembele, Vitinha and Colo Moani, where Japanese national team Takumi Minamino and Balogun from Arsenal scored, and maintained their lead with 30 points.

Lee Kang-in is likely to play in the home game of the Champions League group stage against Newcastle on the 29th as he took a break on the day.
