The butterfly effect caused by Kim Minjae's hiatus

Blog Article

The gap of "Monster Defender" Kim Min-jae was much larger than expected. There was a review that it was "irreplaceable," but the hole was revealed in many ways. Hong Myung-bo realized the butterfly effect that came due to Kim Min-jae's absence.

Currently, Son Heung-min, Hwang In-beom and Kim Min-jae are at the center of Hong Myung-bo. Three players play key roles in attack, midfield and defense. All three players have good personal abilities as well as play in connection with teammates. In particular, it is safe to say that Kim Min-jae has the greatest presence. That was clearly seen in Hong Myung-bo's two consecutive home games on the 20th and 25th.

South Korea scored the first goal against Oman and Jordan. They scored first at home in a good mood. However, they failed to secure victory. Rather, they lost the equalizer as their defense line collapsed due to opponent's attack. They tried to revive the mood again, but it was not easy. They struggled as the balance of offense and defense was shaky, and eventually they ended up with consecutive draws.

Kim's absence did not only result in a decline in defense capability. It also led to the weakening of the midfield and offense. Kim Min-jae plays aggressive defense. He overpowers opposing strikers while covering empty spaces with tremendous speed. It also adds strength to the midfield and attack with fast and sharp forward passes. While building an iron fortress and defending, it hits the front or passes a fast-timed pass to boil the entire team's energy.

Even if Korea scored the first goal, it failed to take the lead in the match against Jordan and Oman. Basically, it was possible to cook Middle Eastern teams that were preparing counterattack patterns more effectively. However, mistakes in the midfield and defense were made while being overly conscious of the opponent's rapid counterattack, causing a fatal crisis. The overall team balance was broken as the air-raid gap widened. There was no more stable and challenging defense in the defense, but there was no one to add strength to the midfield and offense.

In the end, Hong Myung-bo, who played without Kim Min-jae's strengths, was unable to make a clear advance. Even though he took the lead, he did not create many opportunities to make a decisive hit. The connection line between Son Heung-min and Hwang In-beom's key attack and the midfield did not extend to the defense. He suffered lethargy as the rear was shaken and the pass did not rotate smoothly in the midfield and forward.

Of course, the reason for the draw of the two consecutive home games cannot be seen only as Kim Min-jae's absence. It is also true to some extent that Oman and Jordan have dug well into the gaps in Korea. However, it is regrettable that the team had a similar pattern in two consecutive matches without Kim Min-jae. Hong Myung-bo lost the match, largely shaken by the Middle East teams' simple strategy to counterattack by putting down the line. 안전놀이터

The fact that the butterfly effect of Kim Min-jae's absence is great proves that he is highly dependent on certain players. Plan B, which was operated in the absence of Kim Min-jae, did not work well, so he took on a big homework. He is still playing the Asian qualifying round. In order to fight against world-class teams in the finals, the team as a whole needs to be sharpened and refined.
