Tuchel Kim Minjae's open shot, Italy's anger

Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals in the 2023-24 season held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the morning of the 1st (Korea time). Kim Min-jae played full-time against Real Madrid but was criticized for allowing two runs against Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae was pointed out for the wrong positioning in the first goal situation of Real Madrid Vinicius and allowed a penalty kick that led to the equalizer by fouling Hodrigu.

Bayern Munich's Tuchel officially criticized Kim after the match against Real Madrid. "Kim Min-jae should not be so aggressive. The center back should not do that," Tuchel said. "Kim Min-jae is too greedy. There is no pressure on the ball and we don't know what will happen. It collapsed too easily. No one could help Kim from there. I think Kim wants to build a triangle in defense, which is not a good way. To be too aggressive before the ball moves is too greedy." He added, "Kim Min-jae always makes the right choice, but he makes mistakes at critical moments. When that happens, he has to stand still."

Referring to the criticism of Kim Min-jae on the 2nd, Italian media MSN shed light on the players who have struggled in other leagues after playing top in Serie A.

The media outlet said, "Serie A has historically been evaluated as a league where defenders can develop, but there have been many cases where top-notch players have recently moved to other leagues. Koulibaly, who moved to Chelsea after leaving Napoli, also showed physical and technical skills in the Premier League, but was unsuccessful. De Ligt, who won Serie A with Juventus, also experienced something similar with Kim Min-jae in Bayern Munich."

MSN said, "In Serie A, we decide on tactics so that defenders can display their skills," adding, "In Bayern Munich's match against Real Madrid, Kim Min-jae man-marked Vinicius. It was not Tuchel's fault, but the problem was in terms of tactics." He also said, "The defensive soccer of the best clubs in Europe is focused on improving the one-on-one situation, and Rudiger is in the spotlight as a new type of center back."

Italian media outlet Viglio said, "Kim Min-jae does not play at four-back level like Napoli at Bayern Munich. He does not play as a left-back among center-backs. He does not look as happy as he did at Naples," adding, "The criticism against Kim Min-jae is giving hope to Napoli fans. Kim Min-jae may come back to Naples." He also added, "Bayern Munich paid Napoli 50 million euros to recruit Kim Min-jae, and Kim Min-jae became a prisoner of that money. We also need to know why De Licht of Bayern Munich wants to return to Ajax."
