Bayern Munich also seems to have been very offended by Hong Myung-bo's remarks.
After the A-match was called up in March, coach Hong Myung-bo expressed direct dissatisfaction with Bayern, which continued to overwork Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae was included in the A-match call-up list in March, but his Achilles tendon injury worsened and he was eventually not called up during the A-match in March.
Coach Hong Myung-bo responded, `As you know, Kim Min-jae is a very important player for our team. However, a little disappointing is that Bayern should have prevented it to protect players. There have been signals about the risk of injury since before. The national team was fully aware of the risk of injury."
Coach Hong Myung-bo's remarks also became a hot topic in Germany on the other side of the world. There were also disagreements in Korea and Germany on whether Hong Myung-bo's remarks were right or wrong. What is certain is that Bayern couldn't be in a good mood.
Bayern Sports Director Christopher Freund indirectly shot Hong Myung-bo at a press conference ahead of the match between Bayern and Jeankt Pauli on the 29th, talking about the players returning from injury during the A match.
"I just read it and clubs are always accused of having players available for the national team and focusing only on our game without resting them. We closely monitor the condition of the players. The health of the players is the most important thing. We really care a lot, too. However, the club is being criticized for banning players from going anywhere. We mostly allow movement, but we want a healthy player. But you get injured. The club is the employer and pays an annual salary. So we'll look at this in detail."
Freund's remarks were shot not only by head coach Hong Myung-bo but also by the Canadian national team. Alfonso Davis had signs of injury because he suffered a serious injury called a cruciate ligament rupture while overplaying the Canadian game.
The issue of player management by the club and the national team is a controversial topic from the past. Recently, England manager Thomas Tuchel also used Declan Rice as an example and conducted an interview, asking why the England national team should manage it when Arsenal did not manage it.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae took a break during the A-match in March and returned faster than expected. From Bayern's point of view, which lost Dayo Upamecano and Alfonso, Kim Min-jae's quick return is everywhere. It remains to be seen whether Kim Min-jae will play immediately in the match against Jeankt Pauli, but it is expected that he will be able to play immediately from April.
