Bundesliga expected Kim Min-jae, Bayern Munich to start.

The German Bundesliga announced on the 28th the starting lineup for the showdown between Bayern Munich and Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the fifth round of the 2024-2025 season. The Bundesliga predicted that Kim Min-jae will start.

“Bayern Munich’s defense has been transformed,” and that Kim Min-jae and Upamecano’s recent performance has improved remarkably.

Bayern defeated SV Werder Bremen 5-0 in the fourth round of the Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season at Werder Stadion in Bremen, Germany on Sunday. With this victory, Bayern has secured four consecutive wins and 12 points to maintain its lead in the league.

In the match, Bayern used a 4-2-3-1 formation, with its defense consisting of Alfonso Davis, Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, and Konrat Reimer. The combination of Kim and Upamecano’s central defense showed stable defense without allowing an opponent a single shot opportunity.
Kim Min-jae recorded 117 ball touches and showed a stable defense with 92 percent success rate 97 out of 105, 11 passes to the final third, two clearances, one header clearings, three interceptions, and three recoveries. In addition, he recorded outstanding statistics of tackle success rate 100% 2/2, ground contest success rate 100% 2/2, and air contest success rate 100% 5/5.

After the match, German media ‘TZ’ gave Bayern players a rating. Kim received the highest score of one point. In the German grading system, one point represents the highest score.

Sport 1 said, “In the beginning of the season, Kim Min-jae and Upamecano showed unstable performance, but as time passed, the performance of the two steadily improved. Bayern has allowed only three goals in the last four games, ranking second in the league with the least number of goals lost.”

The media said, “The Bayern defense’s increased defense line and pressure on sweatshirts are optimized strategies for Kim Min-jae and Upamecano. Based on their fast feet, they perfectly fit Kompany’s aggressive style of play.”

Kim’s skill improvement is also drawing attention. “Kim’s tackle success rate has gone up from 63 percent to 67 percent, with the number of interceptions he has had against his opponents ranking first in the league. He has demonstrated his prowess in Italy again.”

Upamecano was equally well received. “Upamecano’s pass success rate is 96 percent, the highest in his team, and his rate of wins in competition has also improved significantly. Stable passes and aggressive defense stand out,” the media reported.

Of course, there is still a moment when Bayern’s defense is put to a real test. “Although it is successful so far, Bayern will face real challenges against strong teams such as Leverkusen, Aston Villa and FC Barcelona,” the media said, predicting that Kim Min-jae and Upamecano’s performance will be an important variable in the future.

The Bundesliga also predicted that Kim Min-jae will start in the match between Bayern and Leverkusen, which will be an important watershed in the league’s top-tier fight at the beginning of the season.

The Bundesliga predicted that Bayern would play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Manuel Neuer as the goalkeeper and Alfonso Davis-Kim Min-jae-Upamecano-Limer as the starting players in the defense. 토토사이트 모음
