A famous Italian journalist added high praise to Kim Min-jae’s performance.
Italian journalist Xavier Jacobelli said on the ‘Funtu Nuovo Sports Show’ that “Kim Min-jae is the best defender in Serie A and one of the best in Europe this season.”
Giacobelli has been involved in the Italian media since childhood, reporting football news for ‘Gazeta dello Sport’, ‘Coriello dello Sport’ and ‘Tuto Sport’, and is currently working as a columnist.
Jacobelli said of Kim Min-jae’s performance this season, “Even in his first season in Italy, he is the main character who led Naples to historic results.”
Kim Min-jae wrote a record in three years after entering Europe. He left Beijing Guoan in 2021 and transferred to the prestigious Turkiye Fenerbahce. From his first season in Europe, he stood out as the team’s main defender. Accordingly, many clubs showed interest last summer and moved to Naples.
Even in the beginning, fans showed doubts. The reason was that an Asian player came as a replacement for Kalidu Koulibaly, who had been active in the team for a long time before. However, Kim Min-jae made an eye contact with coach Luciano Spalletti from the preseason and established himself as the core of the team, receiving trust throughout the season.메이저사이트
Despite his height of 190 cm, Min-jae Kim blocked the top strikers in Serie A with his quick feet and reckless defense, and in the attack, he served as the starting point for the build-up with his stable feet. Due to this performance, he confirmed an early championship ahead of the 5th league game on the 5th, and vomited his spirit to rise to the top of the league 33 years after Diego Maradona.
Kim Min-jae is regarded as a key figure in Napoli’s victory. ‘DAZN,’ the official Serie A relay broadcaster, gave ratings against the Napoli team, and Kim Min-jae received 10 points out of 10. Not only this, but ‘Tutto Mercato’ is “undoubtedly the best defender this season”, and ‘Corriello dello Sport’ said, “He is like a human wall. He erased the shadow of Koulibaly.”
