Tottenham, who didn’t recognize the pearl in the mud and passed by, now hits the ground and regrets it, but the bus doesn’t wait and runs toward a higher place. Today’s story is about Kim Min-jae. While I was wondering, I missed the opportunity.
Tottenham Hotspur hit the ground with regret. This is because he missed Kim Min-jae (26, Napoli), who is playing his best. According to a report by Britain’s 90 MIN on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), the Tottenham team internally acknowledges its mistake and regrets not recruiting Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae was also connected to Tottenham when he was in Beijing Guoan in the Chinese League. In addition, Son Heung-min (30), who plays with the Korean national soccer team, is known to have actively recommended recruitment at the time.
However, the transfer was not made, only rumors were rampant. According to reports, Tottenham did not intend to spend more than 10 million pounds (about 16 billion won) on Kim Min-jae’s recruitment despite Son Heung-min’s recommendation, and Kim Min-jae’s next destination became Turkye Fenerbahce. Kim Min-jae, who also showed outstanding performance in Fenerbahce, moved to Naples, Italy, last summer. Kim Min-jae is also flying in Naples. Beyond the team ace, he is considered the league’s best defender.
He has played nine league games this season, showing off his solid defense, and has also scored two goals as a header. Thanks to this, Napoli are unbeaten with eight wins and two draws (26 points). He became the top player in the league and challenged to the top for the first time in a long time since 1990, the last time he won.
Kim Min-jae also continued his good performance in four European Champions League matches in “War of Stars.” Napoli were tied up with strong teams in each league, including Liverpool (England), Ajax (the Netherlands), and Rangers (Scotland), but they were overwhelmed by winning all four games (12 points). For Tottenham, who knew Kim Min-jae’s existence first, it was a stomachache. In addition, his former team Fenerbahce earned 18 million euros (about 25 billion won) from Kim Min-jae’s transfer fee.
It is a clear mistake of Tottenham, which was reluctant to spend a lot of money on recruiting Kim Min-jae. Joe Roden, who Tottenham recruited instead of Kim Min-jae two years ago, has been pushed back from the main competition and moved on loan to Stadren in the French league. At least, the newly recruited Argentine defender Christian Romero is comforting with his special performance.
