The Japanese archipelago was also concerned about Kim Min-jae's overuse, and applauded his mental strength.

 The Japanese archipelago also paid attention to the mistreatment of Kim Min-jae (27, Bayern Munich).

Goal.com's Japanese version said on the 26th (Korean time), "Kim Min-jae is worried about fatigue. He also played full-time with the A national team. Still, Kim Min-jae is not expressing any complaints."

Munich won 1-0 in the away game against FC Cologne in the 12th round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga on the 25th. As a result, Bayern Munich rose to first place, beating Leverkusen, who had played one less game, by one point. Kim Min-jae played as a starter again as soon as he returned to Germany after playing World Cup qualifiers in Korea and China during the international match period in November.

Munich coach Thomas Tuchel was worried at a press conference held before this game, saying, "Kim Min-jae will probably wake up tomorrow and not know exactly where he woke up." 

This is because Kim Min-jae’s recent travel distance was enormous. During the international match period this November, we flew approximately 20,000 km, traveling in the order of Germany-Korea-China-Korea-Germany.

And he had no time to rest. Kim Min-jae played full-time in both 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia second qualifying matches. He played full-time in both the match against Singapore in Seoul (5-0 win) and the match against China in Shenzhen, China (3-0 win). And Kim Min-jae went straight back to Germany and accompanied the away game in Cologne.

In the away trip to Cologne, there were concerns about injuries. In the 14th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae fell while competing for a header with an opposing striker. During his landing, he suffered a major blow to his lower back. Kim Min-jae was unable to stand up, so he fell down on the floor and touched his waist. Fortunately, he got up and played, but coach Tuchel did not replace Kim Min-jae in the end. 

Accordingly, the media said, “Kim Min-jae, who moved from Naples to Munich this summer, is a center back with a height of 190 cm and is called a ‘monster.’ With Dayot Upamecano and Matthais de Ligt injured, Kim Min-jae is playing almost full time. "Except for the Vietnam game, everyone is playing in the national team. As of November, mistakes leading to goals are noticeable, and there are voices worried about fatigue," he said.

Nevertheless, although Minjae Kim admits to being tired, he does not complain. Kim Min-jae admits, "I think my body is tired from so many games," but adds, "I can't complain because it's the same for everyone. It's foolish to say, 'I can't play, I feel like I'm going to die.'" He answered firmly.
