Shocking criticism against Kim Min-jae appeared.
Germany's RAN said on the 13th (Korea time) 'In the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Kim Min-jae once again did not fit into the team. If there is no change soon, it will have to be released in the summer,' it reported.
RAN said 'When Kim Min-jae transferred from Napoli, Bayern's expectations were huge. The transfer fee was also a good amount. However, instead of stabilizing Bayern's defense and forming a duo with Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae is likely to instill fear in his fans and teammates. He once again showed an example of a serious mistake against Dortmund. Maximilian Buyer's score was due to Kim Min-jae. Max Eberle also criticized Kim Min-jae's performance in that situation.
Then 'This is only a recent mistake among a number of mistakes that are acceptable at the Bavarian level. Kim Min-jae had to play right now and was an immutable presence in the defense. Kim Min-jae should gain convincing power with reliability and stability, but the opposite is true. The excuse of the beginning is no longer valid. Even under Coach Bang Sang Kompany, he played as the main player from the beginning of the season, but he has yet to correct his mistakes and carelessness,' he said, pouring out criticism on Kim Min-jae.

Kim Min-jae even voiced his defense threat. RAN says 'Kim Min-jae is a threat to Bayern's defense. Considering the transfer fee, Kim Min-jae's performance is not enough. A solid defense is essential to win major competitions,' coach Vincent Kompany said after the match against Dortmund. Players who play on the field must fulfill their potential. It also refers to Kim Min-jae. The head of Ebbe and the leadership will have to think about what to do with Kim Min-jae. It doesn't help right now. There will be no future at Bayern if the mistakes are not corrected.'
Bayern only drew 2-2 in the 29th round of the Bundesliga against Dortmund in the 2024-2025 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 13th. Bayern maintained the difference between second-place Leverkusen (63 points, 18 wins, 9 draws, 2 losses), which drew 0-0 with Union Berlin in the same round with 69 points (21 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses).
Kim Min-jae did not miss the start. He joined Eric Dier as a centre-back duo. The first half was perfect. It has blocked Seru Girasi, who has 15 goals in the league and 10 in the European Champions League. Kim Min-jae even covered the right side instead of Dyer, who was slow to judge. He defended the Bayern goal by blocking Dortmund's attacks that led Girasi.
The problem was the second half. In the third minute of the second half, Dortmund striker Maximilian Bayer scored a header. At that time, Kim Min-jae missed the buyer and provided an excuse for the loss. Fortunately, Munich, which allowed the first goal of the game, ended in a draw with a balance between Rafael Geheiro's equalizer in the 20th minute of the second half and Serge Gnabry's come-from-behind goal in the 24th minute of the second half, but criticism of Kim Min-jae's mistake flooded in.

Kim Min-jae played 54 minutes on the day, making three interceptions, three clearings, three recoveries, three contest wins, and one tackle. He also had 45 passes and a 94% pass success rate in the attack. He also made one pass that created a scoring opportunity. It was a comprehensive performance except for providing an excuse for losing points.
Bayern's general manager also regretted his mistake. "It was a mistake," Max Eberle said in a post-match interview. Kim Min-jae missed his opponent in sight. Before that, he was dealing very well with Girashi. But I'm sure he's well aware of this loss himself."
The German media also received a cold evaluation. Germany's Spox gave the lowest score of five points, saying 'I missed the buyer in the loss scene' Germany scores 1 to 5 points, and the higher the score, the more sluggish it is. 'Avent Zeitung' is also not showing convincing performance. He was not calm and scored the lowest five points. Germany's RAN gave the lowest five points and said that 'Kim Min-jae's repeated deterioration of concentration is an unsettling factor for Bayern's defense'. 'TZ' is playing in difficult situations such as overlapping colds and Achilles pains, but there were several mistakes in positioning against Dortmund,' he said, giving him a rating of 5 points.

However, Kim Min-jae also has room for excuses. Kim Min-jae has been playing too many games with injuries due to the recent team situation. It's not in normal condition. Kim Min-jae is injured, but center back resources such as Dayot Upamecano and Ito Hiroki are out for the season, forcing him to play. German media reported on the 1st that Kim Min-jae is suffering from Achilles tendinitis, and recently has been suffering from severe cough and back pain along with cold symptoms. He also played in this condition against Jeankt Pauli. You have to rest in order to recover.
The German media gave a harsh evaluation to Kim Min-jae, who runs with an injury time bomb that can explode at any time. Considering the injury situation, it is difficult to expect the best performance in every game from Kim Min-jae in the rest of the season. The most frustrating thing is Kim Min-jae himself, who is having a hard time with injuries.
