Bayern Munich Germany gatekeeper Manuel Neuer praised Kim Min-jae.
Munich defeated Tottenham 2-1 in two matches of the 2024 Coupang Play Series held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday. Neuer started the game and allowed no runs in the 45th minute before handing over the gloves to Sven Ulihi.
Neuer is known to be close to Kim Min-jae, who is guarding Munich's last room. "We talked about how we will play today as we warmed up before the start of the game," Neuer said at the mixed zone after the game. "I feel safe and secure when Kim Min-jae participates."
As for Kim Min-jae's style of play, he said, "He is a very aggressive defender. He is good at one-on-one defense and increases a lot offensively," adding, "I've worked with a lot of players, and among them, Kim Min-jae is very good." 바카라사이트 추천
He also has good chemistry with new coach Bang Sang. "My first impression was very good. I demanded active pressure from the beginning, and the players are taking it very positively," Neuer said. "The players understand well the coach's philosophy."
Finally, Neuer revealed his goal for the new season. "My goal is to secure as many titles as possible this season because I was not successful last season," he said.
Munich won 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles from the 2012-13 season to the 2022-23 season, but lost to Leverkusen for the first time in 12 years last season. In the new season, he will try to regain the top position with coach Kongpani, who has taken the helm.
