Kim Min-jae, everything was good, but ‘warning is disappointing’… If you add one up to the quarterfinals, you will be ‘collapsed’
Kim Min-jae, who played a big role in the first European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League tournament in his life, seems to have to pay attention to warning management.
Kim Min-jae’s team, Napoli, won 2-0 in the 2022/23 season Frankfurt and Champions League Round of 16 first leg away match at Deutsche Bank Parque in Frankfurt, Germany on the 22nd (Korean time).
Napoli defender Kim Min-jae started as one of the back four and played full-time on the pitch. He showed good defensive scenes that blocked the opponent’s attack and accurate passes that led to the attack several times. Various media also gave Kim Min-jae the 1st and 2nd place among Napoli players.
However, as one yellow card was added during the match, warning management is expected to be careful.
Kim Min-jae received a yellow card in the 43rd minute of the second half before the end of the Champions League group stage 5 match against Scotland Rangers on October 27 last year. Then, in the 38th minute of the first half against Frankfurt, he added a warning while trying to stop Muani’s side counterattack with Randall Cole, the leading striker.
According to UEFA rules, in the Champions League, if you receive three yellow cards until the second leg of the quarterfinals, you cannot play in the next match. However, 1~2 warnings received until the 2nd leg of the quarterfinals will be destroyed in the 1st leg of the semifinals. A player who received the third yellow card in the second leg of the quarterfinals cannot appear in the first leg of the semifinals. 바카라
From Kim Min-jae’s point of view, it became necessary to manage warnings not only for the second leg against Frankfurt on the 16th of next month, but also for the quarterfinals.
