I like the diet because it's talkative and clear."
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has sealed the "back-up" theory of Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich). Erik Dier (30) has openly said why he is ahead of Kim Min-jae in the main competition. 스포츠토토
Kim Min-jae started as a bench member against FSV Mainz 05 in the 25th round of the 2023-2024 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 11:30 p.m. on the 9th. It was not until the 30th minute of the second half that he was replaced by Dier, his "rival." The team won a landslide 8-1 victory.
Harry Kane scored a hat trick. In addition, Leon Goretzka scored multiple goals, Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry scored side by side.
Munich, ranking second with three points, trailed "leading" buyer 04 Leverkusen (64, 20 wins and 4 draws), who had 57 points (18 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses), one less game.
Munich's Tuchel formed a center-back selection combination with Dyer and Matthijs the Licht instead of Kim. Kim was on standby on the bench.
Kim Min-jae has been excluded from the starting lineup for two consecutive games. It is somewhat shocking. Until the middle of the season, he had been playing in consecutive games, living a controversial life. However, Dyer, who moved from Tottenham to Munich in January, started playing on the bench for the last two consecutive games.
Kim Min-jae, who was excluded from the starting list for the second round of the UEFA Champions League's round of 16 SS Lazio (3-0 victory) on the 6th, was not able to play in the end. However, in the match, he took the ground as a substitute at the end of the second half.
Dyer, who started the match against Mainz in lieu of Kim Min-jae, performed fairly well. He recorded a 92% pass success rate (46/50), two tackles, three clearings, six ball recovery, and five ball competitions. He recorded one shot, two passes to the offensive area, one touch in the opponent's box, and 63 percent (5/8) success rate of mid- to long-range passes.
Kim Min-jae, who participated in the 30th minute of the second half, left behind a report card of 90 percent pass success rate (18/20), one blocking, one clearing, two ball recovery, and one successful ball competition. Just like Dyer, Kim displayed not-so-bad performance.
Tuchel won all of his matches in which Dyer started for two consecutive games. The most important thing in a soccer match is victory anyway. There is no reason not to use Dyer from Tuchel's point of view.
On the other hand, Kim Min-jae's position will inevitably become narrower.
Coach Tuchel directly mentioned Kim Min-jae and Dyer.
According to "Sport 1" in Germany on Sunday, Tuchel defended Kim and said, "This is a very difficult situation for Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae is eligible to start and is a very good player," but later said, "However, there are times when Kim Min-jae is not selected as a starter." Dyer plays very clearly and talks a lot. It is good for us. We have close relationship with The Licht and both of them are one step ahead." Dyer directly said he is ahead of Kim Min-jae in the race to become the starting pitcher.
In addition, Tuchel also mentioned Upamecano, who is completely behind in the main competition.
"It's a real shame for Upamecano," he said, adding, "He's been sent off one after another and he's not confident."
