SSC Napoli Kim Min-jae (27) put up an impregnable defense in front of AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho (Portugal), who tried to recruit him in the past.

On the other hand, AS Roma stayed in 6th place with 11 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses (37 points).

Kim Min-jae, who started as a center back duo with Amir Rahmani, conceded one goal, but blocked opponent strikers such as Paulo Dybala well.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae’s back header, which was trying to kick the opponent’s pass back in front of the goal, almost led to an own goal, but fortunately it missed to the right of the goal post. In the 17th minute of the first half, Osimen, who was in front of Napoli Hvica Kvarachhelia’s cross from the left, scored the opening goal with a right-footed non-stop shot after exquisite chest and foot trapping.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae blocked the opponent’s shot with a physical defense by throwing himself. In the 39th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae committed a foul while competing for a header with Tammy Abraham.

During extra time in the first half, Minjae Kim kicked the ball away from the Napoli camp and hit the opponent. AS Roma’s attack was fierce, but Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret’s save saved the crisis. Napoli finished the first half 1-0.

In the second half, Kim Min-jae played a solid defense. In the 4th minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae prevented the opponent from breaking through with a tackle inside the Napoli penalty box. In the 16th minute of the second half, AS Roma’s sharp free kick was kicked out with a header. In the 17th minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae participated in a counterattack with two colleagues from the Naples camp. Kim Min-jae sprinted towards the gate at great speed, but fellow Irving Rossano connected with a shot instead of passing to no-mark Min-jae Kim. It was blocked by the goalkeeper.

In the 30th minute of the second half, the ball headed by Kim Min-jae in the penalty box went to Nikola Zalewski. Zalewski’s cross was lifted by El Sharawi with his right foot to make it 1-1.

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti immediately put in striker Simeone, and the replacement card hit. In the 41st minute of the second half, Simeone, who received a penetrating pass from Piotr Zielinski, scored the winning goal with a left-footed turning shot. In the 6th minute of extra time in the second half, Kim Min-jae blocked AS Roma’s wave of offensive attacks with a header.

AS Roma coach Mourinho said at a press conference ahead of the game against Napoli on the 28th, “When I was coaching Tottenham, I made two or three video calls to recruit Kim Min-jae, but it was canceled. Tottenham offered 5 million euros, but the deal would have been completed if only 7 to 8 million euros were paid.” Kim Min-jae was defeated by Mourinho, who tried to take him in the past.
