I’m really happy.” Then he smiled, “You’re going to do well and you’re going to love this place. I can promise you.” Kim Min-jae was a bit shy about coach Tuchel’s attack of affection, but firmly held Tuchel’s hand and pledged his future performance. In addition, when Min-jae Kim joined Munich last month, coach Tuchel said, “Min-jae Kim had an amazing season at Napoli. He is tall, fast and reliable. I communicated with him through video calls several times. The best. We are delighted to have signed a contract with the player.” He praised, “I am satisfied that Kim Min-jae, who had many teams to choose from, came to Munich. He is a perfect replacement for Luca Hernandez, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).”

I always look over my shoulder to help,” he said. I was left with a good impression,” he said. Munich will play Augsburg in the third round of the Bundesliga on the 28th.
