‘Blue Iron Pillar’ Kim Min-jae (27, SSC Napoli), who has emerged as one of the world’s best defenders, was underrated as ‘ordinary’.
Napoli is on the verge of winning its first championship in 33 years on the 30th (Korean time). With 78 points, Napoli is ahead of second place Lazio (61 points) by 17 points.
If Lazio draws or loses against Inter Milan on this day, Napoli’s victory will be solidified. This is because if Napoli beat Salernitana, they have all the conditions necessary to win.
It is Kim Min-jae who is evaluated as one of the protagonists of Napoli’s victory. Kim Min-jae was recruited as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly (32, Chelsea) and did more than do his part. He made the opponent’s attacking team helpless with his quick blockade and throwing defense every game. The reason why Napoli is recording the lowest number of goals (21) in the league like Lazio is because Kim Min-jae played a central role in Napoli’s defense.
Kim Min-jae is already recognized as one of the best defenders in the world. Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti even praised Kim Min-jae as “the best defender in the world.” As proof of this, big clubs such as Manchester United (Man United), Manchester City (Man City), Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are actively preparing for the signing.
According to Italy’s ‘Napoli Calcio Live’, former Italian defender Pietro Biercobod answered the question, ‘Is Kim Min-jae the world’s best centre-back?’ is a good player, not bad, but a mediocre defender.”
In response, ‘Napoli Calcio Live’ said, “Kim Min-jae is showing that he is the best center back in Serie A this season, but there are people who do not appreciate his qualities.” “Other big clubs are already interested.” ㅋㅋㅋ벳
Bierkobod is the center back who led Italy to their third title at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain. He even reached third place at the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Juventus also lifted the UEFA Champions League championship cup in the 1995-1996 season.
Meanwhile, the city of Napoli is already excited about the Napoli club’s chances of winning. Victory decorations are hung all over the city, and even Napoli fans are enjoying championship-related events.
