Kim Min-jae prepares to play against Juventus in second place…You have to win to see the way to victory.
Italy’s Serie A Napoli monster defender Kim Min-jae (27) will shake off his injury and face strong Juventus. As a competitor for the championship, the match against Juventus is a match not only for Kim Min-jae but also for Napoli.
Napoli will play the 18th round of Serie A in the 2022-23 season against Juventus at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy, at 4:45 a.m. on the 13th.
The showdown between the two teams is expected to be an important matchup in the Serie A championship competition this season.
Napoli is currently leading the pack with 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (44 points). Napoli played 15 games before the Qatar World Cup break and remained undefeated with 13 wins and 2 draws.
After the World Cup break, the team lost 0-1 to Inter Milan, but won 2-0 against Sampdoria.
Juventus, which had been sluggish in the early stages, is in second place with 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses (37 points, 19 goals), ahead of AC Milan (11 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses, 37 points, 15 goals).
The confrontation between the two teams is expressed as a typical match between a spear and a shield. Napoli have scored 39 goals in 17 previous matches, boasting more than two goals per game. It is also the most scoring team in Serie A.
Juventus, on the other hand, has recorded the smallest loss in Serie A with only seven runs. Juventus recently won eight consecutive games with a quick counterattack after putting up a solid defense.
Juventus is bound to be a tricky opponent for Napoli, which pursues offensive tactics that raise the line to the extreme.
This is why Napoli has no choice but to welcome Kim Min-jae’s participation. Kim Min-jae has an advantage in fighting for the right of delivery with his solid physique, but he covers the space behind the defense with his fast feet and helps develop fast attacks with accurate passes.
In fact, Kim Min-jae’s participation in the match against Juventus was unclear. This is because Kim Min-jae played only 45 minutes in the first half and was replaced in the match against Sampdoria on the 9th, raising concerns about injury.
Fortunately, coach Luciano Spaletti said, “We replaced it as a precaution for a possible injury,” explaining that it was not a major injury. Since then, Italy also predicted that Kim Min-jae is likely to play in the match against Juventus.
The match against Juventus is once again an opportunity to make Kim Min-jae’s name known. Kim Min-jae waited for the match against Kang Ho so much that he said in October last year, “The team he wants to win the most is Juventus.” 사설토토
Kim Min-jae previously received great attention for his solid defense against world-class strikers such as Olivier Giroud (AC Milan) and Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan). Kim Min-jae’s stock price could be even higher if he leads the victory by playing an active role in the match against Juventus, which draws a lot of attention.
Juventus’ main striker Doosan Blajovic is likely to be absent due to injury. However, Moisekin and Arcadius Millik are showing good scoring skills recently, so we cannot be relieved. If they defeat Juventus, they can expect Napoli to win for the first time in 33 years since the 1989-90 season.
