The shape of him

Kim Min-Jae is a 29-year-old defender at Bayern München and a South Korea international. In 26/27 that meant 24 club appearances and 1,847 minutes. Defending is anticipation as much as tackling: reading the pass before it is played, holding the line, and starting the attack from the back.
