Aftermath of the shock backpass mistake?
Kim Min-jae 28, Bayern Munich, who lost a point due to a fatal backpass mistake in the opening game of the German Bundesliga in 2024-2025 season, is likely to step down from the starting line-up in one game.
Germany's Bild predicted that Kim Min-jae will be excluded from the starting lineup in the second round of the Bundesliga between Munich and Freiburg at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 31st.
"Munich won 3-2 in the opening match against Wolfsburg on August 25 last month, but mistakes were made one after another in the four-back line consisting of Alfonso Davis, Kim Min-jae, Dayo Upamecano and Sasha Boy," the media said.
Kim started the game against Wolfsburg and played until the 36th minute of the second half. When his team was 1-1 in the second half, Kim lost the ball to the opponent team's Beamer, who was pressing the ball in the 10th minute of the second half. This was the starting point for losing the lead.
Munich, which Kim Min-jae's mistake was used as an excuse to tie the game relatively quickly. Kaminsky's own goal was scored from a corner kick. The score was 2 to 2. Kim was substituted out in the 36th minute of the second half.
Munich managed to score the finishing goal. Kane defended the ball and passed it to Gnabry who rushed to the right side in the 37th minute of the second half, and the goal immediately burst. Munich ended the match with a 3-2 victory.
Munich coach Bangsang Kompany did not criticize Kim. "Yesterday, when we asked Kompany how to identify weaknesses and reduce mistakes, he protected his defense," Bild said.
Kompany told Bild, "What we did well against Wolfsburg was what we did as a team. And we have to deal with what we need to improve as a team."
Bild said, "Unlike former coach Thomas Tuchel 51 tended to criticize players publicly, Kompany especially seeks to protect Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, and Davis from a lot of criticism from fans and experts."
"Coach Kompany has few options other than to strengthen Munich's unstable defense," Bild said. "Coach Kompany has few alternative cards for defense, as he sold Matthias de Ligt 24 and Nusair Mazraoui 26 to Manchester United, and Hiroki Ito 25, fractured foot and Josip Stanisic 24, ruptured knee ligament were injured," Kompany said after explaining the current situation in Munich. "Nevertheless, Kompany hinted at the possibility of making changes to the defense team ahead of the match against Freiburg." 토토사이트 추천
The reason why the media claims like this is that "one of my roles is to make a decision on the appointment of players, but it doesn't have to be accompanied by stress. It's possible to give other players a chance," Kompany said.
"Chances are high that Kompany will make a change in the match against Freiburg. Eric Dier 30 and Rafael Guerreiro 30 can start in place of Kim Min-jae and Davis," Bild predicted.
