Kim Min-jae is starting in all games this season. The Korean national soccer team has also started all games, raising concerns about overwork.

Munich cannot guarantee Kim Min-jae's break time. Eric Dier, a backup defender, is classified as not suitable for Munich's unique tactics of raising the line because he has already lost speed.

Germany's TZ reported "Kim Min-jae has been complaining of ankle pain since last month"Hiroki Ito and Yoshif Stanisic are injured, and Dyer is slow to play a high defensive line. "

Critics point out that special management is necessary because such frequent sprints of central defenders are not free from injuries due to the nature of Kim Min-jae, who sprints. Similar to Munich, Son Heung-min's Tottenham, which uses a tactic to raise the line, also suffered a series of injuries to the central defender. Similar to Kim Min-jae, Mickey van der Ben (Tottenham) who enjoys sprinting is a representative example. Van Derben's excessive running has been suffering from frequent injuries due to hamstring strain.

For this reason, in order for Munich to finish this season stably, it is expected that it will be urgent to reinforce the fast central defender who can rotate with Kim Min-jae.
