Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich)'s 'Winning DNA' is expected to flash again.

Bayern Munich lost its pride by staying in third place in the German Bundesliga last season. He has launched a counterattack this season. Bayern Munich, which has been renovated under Vincent Kompany, is ranked first with 19 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses (61 points) in 25 league games in the 2024-2025 season. The gap with Leverkusen (53 points) is eight points.

Variables occurred in the fierce competition for the championship. Leverkusen ace Florian Birz has collapsed. Leverkusen said on the club's website on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) 'Birtz left due to an injury. Birtz is not available for the time being. It is a ligament injury in the right ankle. It was revealed by the examination, and he is not allowed to play for several weeks,' the release said. Birtz has 9 goals-10 assists in 25 league games this season. He is attracting attention from all over the world, including Manchester United.

If Kim Min-jae also wins Bayern Munich, it could be another history. He played for Jeonbuk Hyundai (K League), Beijing Guoan (China), Fenerbahce (Turkiye), and Napoli (Italy) and lifted various championships. In particular, Kim Min-jae played for Naples in the 2022-2023 season and reached the top of Italy's Serie A. At that time, Napoli won the title for the first time in 33 years. Kim Min-jae was the first Asian player as well as Korea to receive the Italian Serie A Most Valuable Player Award. It conquered the Italian stage in just one season.

Kim Min-jae left Naples in a hot love call and wore Bayern Munich's uniform. Kim Min-jae didn't need 'Adaptation Time'. He took the starting position in Munich in a heartbeat. He has already played more than 20 matches this season, including 15 matches in the German Bundesliga and 5 matches in the European Champions League (UCL). It even became a controversy over 'the worst of all'. Still, Kim Min-jae ran firmly. He thinks it's better to run than not to run"I ran and ran. Kim Min-jae won the 2023 Korea Football Association Player of the Year Award. It was the first award in my life.

There was a twist. Kim Min-jae has been embroiled in a controversy over his performance since the Qatar Asian Cup in January and February last year. Moreover, Bayern Munich hired Eric Dier on loan through the winter transfer window. Kim Min-jae's position has narrowed. Then Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel gave Dier a chance. Kim Min-jae had a difficult time due to the overlapping ankle injury.
