According to a report by German media Sports Chow on the 24th (Korean time), Kim Min-jae announced his goal, “I will try to become a monster in Munich.”
Kim Min-jae moved from Napoli (Italy) to Munich through the summer transfer window. He led Napoli to win the league last season and the quarterfinals of the European Champions League, rising to become Europe’s top defender. The nickname ‘monster’ was attached to Kim Min-jae. The goal is to earn the same nickname in Munich.
The start was good. Kim Min-jae started as a left center back in the away game against Werder Bremen in the opening game of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga held on the 19th. He teamed up with Dayo Upamecano of the ‘French national team’ as center back. Kim Min-jae played 68 minutes until he was replaced in the 23rd minute of the second half, winning one aerial contest and recording a pass success rate of 94%. Munich also won 4-0.
The statistics site Foot Mob gave Kim Min-jae a good rating of 7.4. It was a higher rating than partner Upamecano.
Last season, Munich didn’t have a reliable centre-back outside of Matthiis Delicht. Upamecano has been criticized for its frequent mistakes and weakness for big games. However, with Kim Min-jae joining, Munich’s center back depth has greatly increased. By alternately using world-class center backs, the burden of physical strength and the risk of injury can be reduced. When transforming into a three-back, a picture in which Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, and Delicht appear simultaneously is also possible.

Germany’s Bavarian Football introduced, “Munich coach Thomas Tuchel praised the solid team center back group.” Tuchel said, “All of the center backs are showing a very high level of play,” but “Kim Min-jae has the potential to become a leader. He learns new sentences in German every day. Kim Min-jae has the ability to lead plays.” . World class and Munich midfielder Yoshua Kimmich also poured out expectations for Kim Min-jae. Sports stadium Astro emphasized, “Kimmihi congratulated Minjae Kim and Harry Kane on their transfer to Munich. In particular, Kimmihi believes that Kane and Minjae Kim’s transfer can have a big impact.” Kim Min-jae also responded to their praise and expectations by conveying his high goal of “becoming a monster in Munich.”

Munich introduced, “Although beer may not flow yet at Oktoberfest, with about four weeks left before the start of the festival, the Munich team has immersed themselves in the spirit of Oktoberfest.” Oktoberfest is a traditional German beer festival held from September to October. Munich players are required to wear Lederhosen, a traditional German outfit, during the event. In this event held to commemorate this, the Munich team wore Lederhosen instead of uniforms. It was the same with Kim Min-jae.
Kim Min-jae said in an interview with the club, “It’s very comfortable to wear traditional costumes (lederhosen). I look forward to Oktoberfest with Munich.”
