AS Roma, who was down 1-2 in extra time in the second half, launched an onslaught to catch up with one goal.
However, every time AS Roma attacked, there was Kim Min-jae. When 4 out of 6 minutes of extra time passed, Kim Min-jae, who took the ball from the defensive end, did not give up and kicked the ball out of the line again.
Italian media Arena Naples said that “KIM”, “Kim” and “Kim” resonated at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in this scene. After the 20th round match between Napoli and AS Roma, he reported.
Arena Napoli said, “The Napoli substitutes made a difference, but what surprised us was Kim Min-jae’s spirit in the last minute of the game.” “Kim,” “Kim,” “Kim” resounded. It was no coincidence that they cheered like goals.”
Kim Min-jae, who started the game that day, defended the Napoli camp with a stable defense throughout the game, as well as a scene where he was praised by home fans during extra time in the second half.
Against the attacking duo of Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham, which AS Roma is proud of, he dominated the ground as well as the air ball. According to football statistics company Foot Mob, he attempted two tackles and succeeded in both, and 9 clearings. He recorded 7 header clearings and 8 recoveries. Foot Mob gave Kim Min-jae a rating of 7.5, which is higher than Osimen and Simeone, who both scored goals. 안전놀이터
Arena Napoli praised, “Kim Min-jae has become Maradona’s idol in name and reality.”
Kim Min-jae has been very active since the first year of his transfer to Naples, and has emerged as a team member and a defender that draws attention on the European stage.
While transfer rumors to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been raised, Napoli is pushing for a renewal of the contract to protect Kim Min-jae next summer when the buyout clause is activated. Kim Min-jae’s buyout will be activated for overseas clubs outside of Italy from July 1 to 15.
Napoli moved closer to the Scudetto with a 2-1 victory on the day. They accumulated 53 points, widening the gap with second place Inter Milan to 13 points.
