Dier-der Ligt central defense combination likely
It was predicted that Kim Min-jae, a key defender for Bayern Munich in the German professional soccer Bundesliga, would be excluded from the starting list for the Lazio game.
Munich will play the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL) against Italian professional soccer team Serie A Lazio at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany at 5 a.m. on the 6th (Korean time).
Munich, who lost 0-1 in the first away game on the 15th of last month and is on the verge of advancing to the quarterfinals, is aiming for a win against Lazio at home. 스포츠 토토사이트
Despite the need to use the best players, Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to use Eric Dier, not Kim Min-jae, in the starting lineup.
According to the German media 'Bild' on the 5th, Kim Min-jae was excluded from Team A's final training group for the second leg of the UCL round of 16.
In other words, the possibility of choosing the Dier-der Ligt combination rather than the Kim Min-jae-Mathias de Ligt combination has become very high.
This season, Munich is using three players, including Kim Min-jae, De Ligt, and Dayot Upamecano, as starting central defenders. As De Ligt and Upamecano were injured one after another, Kim Min-jae was the regular, and the two players were used in turns.
Munich, which competes in various competitions such as the League and UCL, decided that it would be difficult to handle the season with three central defenders, and signed Dier, who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL), on loan through the transfer market last winter. .
Dier was given plenty of playing time while De Ligt and Upamecano were out due to injury. Thanks to this, the complete transfer option included in the rental contract was activated, and he will play for Munich until 2025.
Dier, who has steadily increased his playing time and established himself, is expected to start as a starter until the game against Lazio. Upamecano was sent off in the first game and cannot play today.
The possibility of Dyer and Minjae Kim pairing up is not high.
Typically, players participating in a game appear at an official press conference before the game, and De Ligt attended the press conference as a key player.
Considering Kim Min-jae's exclusion from the A team group in training and De Ligt's participation in the press conference reported by 'Bild', it appears that the Dier-De Ligt combination will be activated.
There is also a media outlet that predicted Kim Min-jae's starting role.
British media '90min' and Italian media 'Racciali' predicted that Kim Min-jae and De Ligt would work together. 무료슬롯게임
