The Korean: “Here you don’t conquer the tricolor for a long time. I’m hungry for victories. And I want that if one thinks of a defender…”
Min-Jae Kim is not one to hide, on or off the pitch. So as to release an interview to UpBit, sponsor of Napoli, he has bet heavily on a blue-tinged future that can go even beyond the conquest of the Scudetto. “I have a great desire to win – said the Korean -. Napoli hasn’t won the tricolor for a long time, but we play well and we can do it. Personally, I’m greedy for victories!”.
Hunger
—
Here, it is precisely this hunger that is distinguishing the blue group and also the performance of the central defender who has arrived to replace Koulibaly. A feat that is far from simple but which Kim is accomplishing with surprising ease: “The most important thing is to understand what kind of football your coach wants and then quickly put his indications into practice. I think I adapted right away, I think that was my secret.”
History
—
Now Napoli is about to write history also thanks to him: “I would like to become that player who – if you think of defenders – my name comes to mind. So that Kim Min-Jae can be remembered.” Important resolutions for a centre-back with a habit of scoring: “Actually, I’d rather not concede than score. I’m a defender, so sure, if you score goals you help the team, but my goal is always to finish the match with a clean sheet.”
