Kim Min-jae might be able to afford a little breath.
Bayern Munich and head coach Vincent Kompany decided to give Kim Min-jae a break for the remaining two Bundesliga matches. Germany's TZ said on the 7th (Korea time) 'Kompany plans to give Kim Min-jae, who is suffering from Achilles tendon inflammation and foot problems, a break until the end of the league'
The only reason for giving Kim Min-jae a break even if it was late was not to recover. TZ said 'Kim Min-jae will not play in the rest of the game and will prepare to help the team at the Club World Cup instead. Bayern undergoes surgery on Eric Dier's transfer to AS Monaco, Hiroki Ito's metatarsal fracture, and knee surgery There is a serious shortage of players in the defense due to Upamecano's uncertain return schedule. Kim Min-jae is expected to play an important role in the FIFA Club World Cup if he fully recovers.
The existing Club World Cup was an event tournament. It was a competition where the teams that won each continental cup gathered to determine the world's strongest club, but it was actually a competition dominated by European clubs. This is because European clubs dominated the 2024 tournament after Corinthians won in 2012.
Accordingly, FIFA has made major changes to play the Club World Cup like a real World Cup since this summer. It is not a competition where only the continental cup winners gather, but 32 teams that have won the strongest teams in each continent have decided to gather to determine the winner. As the competition has grown, the amount of prize money has become great. The total prize money for this competition is a whopping $1 billion (about 1.3978 trillion won). The participation fee alone is worth tens of billions of won, and the better the performance, the more the prize money continues to increase. If he wins, he can receive 40 million dollars (about 55.9 billion won).
In the case of European clubs, if they reach the championship with a large participation fee, they will be able to earn a transfer fee to recruit one of the main players. Therefore, each club is preparing to perform well in the Club World Cup. Bayern is of course drooling. In order to achieve results in the Club World Cup, the physical condition of the main players is important, so Kim Min-jae was given a break early.
It is hard to say that he gave special consideration to Kim Min-jae, who suffered the most severe abuse in the world this season. If I really cared for Kim Min-jae, I wouldn't have made him overwork like this in the first place. Kim Min-jae, who was overworked while enduring his injury, is because Bayern is also thinking of selling the player if Kim Min-jae gets a good offer.
Kim Min-jae is in a position to be thrown out, but Bayern has no choice but to manage Kim Min-jae. This is because it is unclear whether the centerback will be properly operated until the Club World Cup. Backup Dyer will leave the team, and other center backs other than Josip Stanisic will not be able to participate in the tournament itself.
It's hard to say it's a relief during the misfortune, but positive news has begun to be heard about the Bayern centerback operation. Victor Catalina, who works for Magenta TV in Germany, said on his personal SNS on the 8th that Hiroki Ito is training individually after suffering a metatarsal fracture" he said.
Upamecano, Kim Min-jae's center back partner, is also recovering smoothly. Catalina reported "Ufamecano came out to the training ground for about 30 minutes today and did running and stretching exercises." Now, with only a month left until the competition, it is not clear whether Hiroki and Upamecano will be able to participate in the competition right away. Still, it is definitely positive news that the two players are conducting training little by little.
