Korean national defender Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) has confessed his pain that he has been holding back throughout the entire season. However, he has decided that "sickness is just an excuse."

"Kim Min-jae has been suffering from Achilles tendinitis for months," German media 'TZ' said on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), adding, "The Bayern defender has recently faced criticism. He talks about this pain."

"Kim Min-jae has devoted himself to the club for months," the media said. "But recently, he has been criticized for his mistakes and is even considered a candidate for sale in the summer transfer market. Munich's leadership has not made a statement to protect him publicly yet. What is often overlooked about Kim Min-jae is the fact that he has played with an Achilles tendon problem since October last year, which has worsened now."

Kim Min-jae's Achilles tendon injury has been publicly on the issue since last year. Since October last year, news has been reported that there is something wrong with his foot, but he has to start everything from the national team call-up to club games.

He couldn't perform all his skills intact with injuries. In the previous match, against Mainz (April 27), he was stable and started, but he played only 45 minutes in the first half and was replaced as a manager. He even started in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal (vs Inter Milan) and was shaken greatly from the second half of the competition, providing an excuse for losing points, causing him to be eliminated.

Kim joined Munich ahead of the 2023-24 season. His transfer fee at the time amounted to 50 million euros (W80.7 billion). After a stint under Thomas Tuchel, Kim had the perfect starting opportunity under Wencesang Kompany. So far, very few games that he has started and failed to appear in 43 games have been inevitable, including injuries.

When there was no time to recover, Achilles tendonitis continued to improve. However, team-mates Hiroki Ito, Upamecano Dayo, and Alfonso Davis were injured and returned, and other negative factors continued such as recurrence of injuries. It was not a situation where he could have been excluded even if he wanted to.

Kim Min-jae, who had been continuously performing a schedule close to overwork, was finally not called up during the March A match. As a result, coach Hong Myung-bo, who leads the Korean national team, shot Munich publicly and engaged in a war of nerves with the German media and public opinion.

The FIFPro also cited Kim Min-jae, who played 49 games this season, including clubs and national teams, as a representative example of "harshness."

However, Kim does not regard his injury as a natural reason for his sluggish performance. In an interview with Eastar TV, a YouTube channel specializing in soccer, Kim said, "My Achilles tendon has been in bad condition. I didn't expect it to last this long, but I'm just doing it."

At the same time, he added, "Mistakes and things like this are actually different whether you run with injuries or not. To make a mistake on the field itself is either that the player was unable to concentrate or that he made a mistake just because he was sick and played a lot of games."

Of course, it's not about enduring pain. According to TZ, however, Kim said, "Of course, the mistake was made by pain. However, I should have done better in the end. I have to focus and that's my job."

The media explained, "He needs a longer rest to recover from his injury, but due to the countless absence of defense, coach Ben Sang Kompany cannot play without Kim Min-jae."

What keeps him going is Munich's Bundesliga championship. Currently, Munich ranks first in the league with 23 wins, six draws and two losses and 75 points. It is eight points shorter than Leverkusen (19 wins, 10 draws and two losses, 67 points). If he wins the next match against Leipzig, he will clinch the championship regardless of the outcome of Leverkusen's match. 바카라
