Bayern Munich Tuchel’s choice to go to the bench by Kim Min-jae is also drawing attention in Germany.

Kim Min-jae started playing on the bench in the 25th round of the Bundesliga against Mainz in the 2023-24 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the afternoon of the 9th. Kim Min-jae also started playing on the bench for two consecutive games while being excluded from the starting list in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in the 2023-24 season against Lazio on the 6th. Kim Min-jae missed the match against Lazio, but was replaced by Dyer in the 30th minute of the second half and played for about 15 minutes in the match against Mainz.

Kim Min-jae, who played as a key defender for Bayern Munich this season, has been struggling in the main competition as he has been excluded from the starting list for the last two consecutive games. Kim Min-jae, who started in all of Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga games this season before the Asian Cup, has been under fire for his team’s recent chances of playing in his team.

Regarding Kim Min-jae’s exclusion from the starting list against Mainz on the 10th, German media Bild shed light on Tuchel’s choice, saying, “Coach Tuchel has put his darling back on the bench.”

“I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to re-organize the back four or if we should just leave the combination that worked well recently,” Tuchel said of the four-back against Mainz, where Kim has been excluded from the starting lineup. “Die plays very clearly and talks a lot. He is a good player for us because he organizes the defense well and has a close relationship with De Ligt. That’s why Dier and De Ligt are one step ahead. Upamecano is very sad. He received a red card in the last two games and has suffered a little bit from it. It’s very difficult for Kim. Especially because Kim deserves to play and he’s very good.”

Coach Tuchel also mentioned that it was a difficult decision to exclude Kim Min-jae from the starting list in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Lazio.

Dyer and De Ligt, who started the match as replacement for Kim Min-jae, were well received. Bayern Munich had a landslide 8-1 victory over Mainz, and Spox, a German media outlet, said, “De Ligt and Dyer are in perfect harmony. De Ligt was full of confidence. Dyer, who was like De Ligt’s half-brother, also showed such a good attitude.” 토토사이트 순위

German media outlet T-Online said, “De Ligt convinced Tuchel of his qualities and put Kim Min-jae and Upamecano back on the bench. De Ligt once again showed solid performance. He displayed strong tackling abilities. Next to De Ligt was Dyer. The twins of the defense, who look visually very similar, once again harmonized and did not allow much to their opponents.”
