Recently, Germany 'Spox' said there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae will become important to Bayern in the long run. He then said that `Kim Min-jae is showing a strong performance and threatening the position of Yonatantha, who was recruited in the summer.' Spox gave Kim Min-jae a sense of stability by being put in the second half of the Chelsea match, and he was once again in the starting lineup against Hoffenheim, while he gave a contradictory evaluation of others, saying, `They are having a difficult early period in both the German national team and Bayern, and they were greatly shaken in the first half against Chelsea.'
Kim Min-jae has recently been revived. His performance against Hoffenheim is exciting the German media. Kim Min-jae started in the fourth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2025-2026 season against Hoffenheim at the Free Zero Arena in Hoffenheim, Germany on the 21st. This was Kim Min-jae's first league start of the season.
Kim Min-jae, who played as a substitute in the league's opening game (6-0 wins) against Leipzig in August, missed the last Augsburg (3-2 wins) and Hamburg (5-0 wins). Coach Kompany rotated some positions on the day, considering that it was a league schedule played just three days after winning the first European Champions League phase 3-1 against Chelsea on the 18th, and Kim Min-jae was selected as another centerback partner.

He blocked the opponent's pass path in advance, and he blew himself to block the opponent's shot. He covered the back space of the defense with his fast feet and sprayed his unique accurate long pass. The highlight was the scene in which teammates Manuel Neuer and Harry Kane approached Kim Min-jae in unison and praised Muhammad Damar's volley in front of the goal in the third minute of the first half.
Kim Min-jae scored 8.2 points after Kane (9.6 points, hereinafter Sofa Score), who played just 69 minutes and recorded 'hat trick'. Among the starting Bayern players, Kim Min-jae and Kane scored more than 7 points. It is the highest rating after receiving 8.2 points for his performance in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain in November 2024, giving a glimpse of how much Kim Min-jae's sense of play has recently risen. In the two consecutive A matches in September, he received favorable reviews for his performance in the match against the U.S. (2-0 wins) and Mexico (2-2 draws).

Before posting a composite photo of 'Minkenbauer', the author wrote that Kim Min-jae's performance was great. It is possible that the means of synthesis was used to implicitly express Kim Min-jae's performance rather than simple fun.
Beckenbauer is the best player in the history of German football without needing an explanation. For 13 years from 1964 to 1977, he won four Bundesliga titles, three European Cups (the predecessor of the Champions League), one European Cup Winners Cup, and four DFB Pokal. Beckenbauer, who had a reputation as the best centre-back of his time, won the Ballon d'Or in 1972 and 1976.
German football All-Time Legend, who led the team to the 1990 World Cup in Italy as the head coach of the German national team, died in January 2024 at the age of 78. Munich paid tribute to the legend by designating the number 5, which is the symbol of Beckenbauer, as a permanent number. Beckenbauer wore No. 3 during the 1966-1967 season, his early professional years. Number 3 is Kim Min-jae's current number.

Kim Min-jae, riding the flow, is aiming for the weekend Werder Bremen match. Fortunately, I am not in bad shape. Kim Min-jae collapsed due to injury against Hoffenheim. With the team leading 2-0, he suddenly flopped on the grass and looked painful after competing for an aerial ball, raising fans' concerns. The Bayern medical team, which conducted emergency treatment, decided that it could no longer play. Eventually replaced by Dayo Upamecano.
Munich general manager Max Eberle said in a post-match interview that `The diagnosis has not yet been made. I think we'll have to wait and see" he said. Immediately after the game, local fans in Germany also expressed their anxiety, saying "Is it a long-term injury again?"
Fortunately, it was a simple injury. On the 22nd, Germany 'TZ' turned out to be Kim Min-jae's simple calf muscle spasms. The injury is not serious. 'We need to adjust our training capacity for a few days, but we will be able to play against Werder Bremen.'" 'Kicker' also reported that Kim Min-jae could soon return to training and Bayern could breathe a sigh of relief. 'Avent Zeitung' also 'Kim Min-jae stepped down as a substitute during the game, but the situation is not that bad. Coach Bang Sang Kompany and the club's leadership are expecting him to return sooner rather than later,' he said. Fans responded "What's more important than Harry Kane's hat trick is that Kim Min-jae's injury is light."
