Minjae Kim (28, Bayern Munich) was the start of Bayern Munich’s attack.
Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with FC Düren in a pre-season friendly match held at the Karl-Nipfras Stadium in Jülich, Germany at 10:30 PM on the 28th (Korean time).
Munich, who had to settle for a draw in this friendly match, will now aim for a win in their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3.
Munich used a 3-4-3 formation. Brian Zaragoza, Mathis Tel, and Adin Licinha formed the attacking pairing, while Leon Goretzka and Eric Dier formed the midfield. Rafael Guerreiro and Sasha Bowe were the wingbacks, and Josip Stanisic, Kim Min-jae, and Ito Hiroki formed the back three. Sven Ulreich was in goal.
There was a variable in the 21st minute of the first half. Ito collapsed due to an injury. In response, Munich brought in Adam Aznú instead. Ito, who appeared to have an ankle problem, was carried out of the stadium on foot.
The first goal was scored by Duren. In the 40th minute of the first half, Stanisic passed the ball to Ulreich, but the pass was not accurate, and Ulreich lost the second ball while trying to handle it quickly, resulting in a goal.
The first half ended with the score 0-1.
In the second half, Munich played the game without any significant substitutions. The first substitution of the second half came in the 22nd minute of the second half. Kim Min-jae, Eric Dier, Zaragoza, Stanisic, and Bowie left the game early, and Serge Gnabry, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Nestori Irankungadda were brought in.
Munich equalized. In the 24th minute of the second half, a shot from inside the box was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Irankunda pushed it in to tie the score at 1-1. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In this game, Kim Min-jae played as a central defender, forming a three-back formation with Ito and Stanisic. In addition, he played the role of possessing the ball and passing it to his teammates.
Ito, who played next to Kim Min-jae, collapsed after 21 minutes of the first half due to injury and was substituted, but before being substituted out, he showed good teamwork by relieving Kim Min-jae’s build-up burden with his flexible footwork and decompressing ability.
Eric Dier, who competed with Kim Min-jae for the starting position last season, played in the midfield with Leon Goretzka. Dier played as a center back all the way last season, but played as a midfielder in 140 of the 365 official games he played during his time at Tottenham Hotspur. It’s not an unfamiliar position.
