The rave reviews of Eric Dier are reaching an increasingly elusive level.
England's HITC highlighted what Tim Sherwood, who led Tottenham in the past, said to Dyer on the 24th (Korea Standard Time).
“We all want to criticize Dyer,” Sherwood said. "But whatever coach is in charge, he's putting Dyer in. Dyer is blocking Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano. He's keeping them out of the starting lineup. "That says a lot," he said.
It was hard to believe that Dyer, who received a lot of criticism from Tottenham, moved to Bayern Munich. In such a situation, the reality is that Dyer is now playing as Bayern's main defender over Kim Min-jae. No one would have expected Dyer to beat Kim Min-jae to become the main player.
It is true that Dyer is showing better performance than Tottenham, but that does not mean he has found the skills he had in his prime. The numerous passes he missed against Bayer Leverkusen and what he lacked as a defender against Darmstadt remain the same. He is a center back, but he is narrow in scope, lacks defensive ability and is slow. It is highly likely that Dyer will still reveal his weaknesses against fast and fast players.
The fact that Coach Thomas Tuchel placed Kim Min-jae and Upamecano on the bench at the same time is another noteworthy aspect. The strength of defense comes from teamwork, not individuals. Up until the first half of this season, Tuchel had strong confidence in Kim Min-jae and Upamecano. However, as Upamecano was shaken by consecutive exits, Dyer and Matthijs de Ligt began to be added as his team was in crisis.
Kim Min-jae cannot be completely free from the responsibility of losing consecutive games, but at least Kim Min-jae has not been pushed out of the starting lineup due to his problems. For now, it seems that Tuchel does not prefer Dyer to Kim Min-jae, but rather sees the combination of Dyer and De Ligt more favorably than the combination of Kim Min-jae and Upamecano.
The very act of comparing Dyer and Kim Min-jae to the same level is strange. Kim Min-jae is Italy's Serie A top defender in the 2022-2023 season and the best center back in the 2023 Ballon d'Or. Dyer was in great form for Tottenham in his prime, but he has never been classified as the best resource in the league.
Bayern fans also want Kim Min-jae to play rather than Dyer. Given this situation, rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer are explosive, but it is difficult to make a hasty judgment. The problem depends on how Tuchel, who will succeed Bayern, evaluates Kim Min-jae. If Tuchel leaves, Dier's position will naturally decrease.
