Sep 25, 2025

Bayern Munich coach Ben Sang Kompany, who had been away for a while, turned back to 'Iron Pillar'. Coach Kompany directly mentioned Kim Min-jae, who has recently performed well in succession, and mentioned that he can send him to the next game. The injury has also recovered and the coach's trust seems to have been restored.

The German version of Sky Sports said on the 25th (Korean time) 'Kompany's injury, Jonas Urwig and Kim Min-jae. Urbihi said he is likely to return to the squad in early October, while Kim Min-jae immediately said he could play in the next match against Bremen'

Coach Kompany said of Kim Min-jae ahead of the team's training session that `If today's training goes well, Kim Min-jae will be able to play against Bremen.' This is a sign that Kompany is now accepting Kim Min-jae as the team's main player

Kim Min-jae was classified as the 'No. 1 resource for sale' ahead of this season. Although he played devotedly last season, ranking second in the team's playing time, he showed a clear drop in form in the aftermath of accumulated injuries at the end of the season. As a result, Kompany also excluded Kim Min-jae from the starting lineup.

However, Kim Min-jae raised his physical condition by himself and caught Kompany's attention again with his skills. Kim Min-jae, who was substituted in the first match of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) against Chelsea on the 18th, showed excellent control of the game.

Then, in the fourth round of the Bundesliga against Hoffenheim on the 20th, he played as a starting center back and performed 'defense power show'. For 69 minutes, he recorded a pass success rate of 94% (59/63), a long pass success rate of 75% (6/8), two blockings, and six clearings, displaying his iron wall defense and special build-up capabilities. It seemed to be completely out of the aftermath of the ankle injury that plagued Kim Min-jae last season. Just before the end of the first half, he made a super save by blocking the ball flying toward the empty goal post with his body.

Kicker Selected Bundesliga Migrant Team

Football statistics company Footmob gave Kim Min-jae a 7.9 rating. It was the second-highest score of both teams after Harry Kane, who achieved a hat trick.

In the end, thanks to this performance, Kim Min-jae was included in the fourth round of the 2025-2026 Bundesliga selected by the German soccer media Kicker. He was selected along with Kane, who achieved a hat trick against Hoffenheim.

However, he was replaced by calf muscle pain in the second half of the game, leaving concerns about injury. But 'Iron Pillars' is in good shape. He quickly shook off his injury and returned to team training. German media Bild reported that `Kim Min-jae felt simple muscle pain'\`Kompany could breathe a sigh of relief`.

Munich will play Bremen in the fifth round of the Bundesliga in the 2025-2026 season at Allianz Arena, its home stadium, early on the 27th. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Min-jae will take over as the starting center back again in the game.
