Kim Min-jae started on the bench for the third consecutive game

Bayern Munich's "monster defender" Kim Min-jae, 28, has been benched for the third consecutive game. The defender was left out of the starting lineup for Bayern Munich's 2023-2024 Bundesliga 26th round match against Darmstadt on Saturday (Aug. 16).


Kim Min-jae was included on the substitutes' bench against Darmstadt on Saturday. He did not make the best 11 and was named to the nine-man squad. He missed the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg against Lazio on June 6 and was a second-half substitute at home against Mainz in the 25th round of the German Bundesliga on June 9. Against Darmstadt, he was left out of the starting lineup and started from the bench for the third consecutive game.


The D-D line was pushed again. Eric Dier and Matthias De Ligt have lost their starting spots. Dyer, who joined from Tottenham Hotspur in January, has been in good form of late, while Der Licht has also returned from injury and has become a regular center-back combination. Kim Min-Jae and Dayo Upamecano, who have been at the center of Bayern Munich's defense since the start of the season, have been overwhelmed by the momentum of the D-D line.


It was to be expected. Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel has publicly stated his intention to start Dier and Der Licht, and he included them in his best 11 for this match. Speaking 스포츠토토 to the local media before the game, Kim Min-jae commented on his extended time on the bench. "It's an experience I've never had before in my life, but I think I've learned something from it," he said, adding, "Just because my playing time has decreased, it doesn't mean I've completely lost the battle for the starting role. I'm confident in my abilities," he said, vowing to bounce back.


Bayern Munich opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation against Darmstadt on Saturday. Manuel Neuer will be in goal, while Joachim Kimmich-Der Licht-Dier-Haffael Guerreiro will form the back four. Leon Goretzka-Aleksandar Pavlovic will play a double ballance, while Leroy Sane-Thomas Muller-Yamal Musial will form the second line of attack. Harry Kane will be up front, looking to score.


Bayern Munich, who have a red light to win the German Bundesliga for the 12th consecutive season, have 28 wins, three draws, four losses, and 57 points through 25 rounds. They are 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who have 21 wins, four draws, and no losses for 67 points. They have nine games left to turn things around.
