I'm a person who doesn't easily give someone the title of the best easily. But this monster is a real deal. He's very good at predicting situations and he's a great technician and a wall. Finding such a player, especially in the position of CB, is as difficult as finding a pearl in a grain of sand.
I dont see why he would take a step back in his career and go to united. Bayern would be great for him if Hernandez leaves which it looks like right now
I'm guessing you have never seen Napoli's game full time. If you did, you would often find Spalletti nagging Kim to move the ball forward all the time, deal with the risk. It's as if he's not allowed to pass backwards. As for his strength, most people (likes of Cannavaro, Costacurta, Bruscolotti..etc) upheld Kim's split interventions, ability to read the game (anticipate the ball, break the channel movement, cover for his teammates' blunders).
I would love to see you make videos about players that you analyzed then moved to a bigger club but didn’t perform very good. A “what went wrong” sort of video
@@PythagorasinBootsSeconded on this. I enjoy your scouting videos and would put even more weight to them if you pointed out how scouting is an imprecise science and that you can be wrong about some things. I think it could help elevate your channel above others, more so than it is already
The mention of Phil Jones at the beginning gets me interested in how good he could have potentially been without those injuries, considering SAF compared him to Duncan Edwards and Capello compared him to Franco Baresi.
He was voted as the best defender of the season. In the SERIA A! The home of defending. Giving him a 68 Rating means that the rest of Seria A defender must be worst than him (< 68). It doesn't make sense. As the best defender he should at least get an 85+.
What you don't take into account is his speed, which allows him to cover large areas of the defense on his own. this gives the team a huge tactical advantage, as it allows the other defenders and midfielders can penetrate deep into the opponent's half. i think you've underestimated him too much, as this was the factor that made his biggest contribution to Napoli's scudetto. he should get 80+ at least.
@@mifjr9558 De Ligt is still only 23. Kounde rating is based on him being a RCB in a back 3 - as a CB in a back 4, he would not be rated higher than Kim.
@@PythagorasinBoots De Ligt is still 23, but Juve paid record fee for him and he did not live up to expectations at all, plus he's never been even close to level of this season Minjae. Kim is 26, but this was his second season in Europe, first in Napoli, Top 5 league in the world. How about taking this and some kind of adaptation into account? He played in China just two years ago, now he's best defender of Turkish league and Seria A back to back. But age doesn't really matter in his case, he's still novice in European football, he's still not at his peak whatsoever. He can improve and he will, but If you said De Ligt's potencial is 77, then Kim is def the 80. How can he be better at tackling than MinJae? Have you seen the stats? By the way there wasn't a single ball in the whole season Kim didn't go all out for as if his life depended on it, if that's not a true A+ mentality then I don't know what is. Plus I don't think you mentioned how good his defensive scanning, anticipation and the way he defends forwards' runs behind an offside line are. He's superb athletically and great at tackling yet what makes him really special compared to others is his inteligence and mentality that are just very rare and special.
Really good analysis. First ever good analysis I've seen of Kim. I think the only thing to add is that his best attribute is defending his marker/their number 9/main goal threat. Kim can win against any number 9, at least from what we have seen. He killed Lukaku, Giroud, Salah and many others. I think he can handle Haaland, the way Rudiger had done. His 1 season at Napoli was better than any of the seasons Koulibaly had in Napoli. Kim was the reason why Napoli were able to play so offensively with a very high line. Every club he has been, he has been loved by the fans and hailed by their managers. In terms of pure defending, he seems to be one of the best in the world and would be the best defender at United and should be a 100% starter if he moves there. What he lacks though, is the non-defensive part of the game that the centre backs are asked to do in modern football.
2 points that you mentioned "Napoli's very high line" and "what is asked to do in modern football" these sounds like make no sense to me. isn't it paradox?

Martinez was not 70 when at Ajax. The middle score is a long term prediction. We do not give current ratings. All scores are long term predictions. Martinez for sure in prime would have owned a side like Napoli. Kim right now is at a higher level than De Ligt. De Ligt is still 23 - he has high potential but there is no guarantee he will reach that, he did at Ajax what Kim has done with Napoli but he is constantly flattering to deceive so we may get his long term prediction wrong. Tielemans - predicted rating, IMO we have given too high. So I agree with you. Trossard too could have been given less. Antony still very young and adapting to new league.
Coming from a neutral who just likes to watch both clubs (bayern and napoli), watching them almost week in and week out, it’s pretty clear and obvious that kim is a much better player than de ligt is and the influence that he has on the team is immense, delivering consistently and many times carrying napoli on his back when kvara and osimhen does not perform. Don’t get me wrong, de ligt is a beast and I personally love him, but almost every single aspect when it comes to the game Kim is better at imo and it’s by a large distance. So is age a big influence to the potentials that u set?
De Ligt is nowhere Kim at the moment. We don’t give current ratings. De Ligt has a lot of room to grow and he may never do it but based on his Ajax days - there is a huge ceiling there but needs to be exploited and not guaranteed. Current rating for De Ligt would be around 66. He needs to up his game big time.

Disliked because some of the stats do not agree with your conclusions. I'd say you weren't exactly objective in ALL aspects of your analysis. Either that or you did not finish this video in one day (likely) and had ups and downs in your ability to analyze throughout the making of this video. B- for attempt though.
I.e. In dribbling, long passing, etc., YOUR OWN stats table put him at the top of your list in the video but your summary is often negative. I would say he's world class at his full potential, slightly different to your conclusion of '2nd/sub for a world class defender' or however else you described it.
You seem to underestimate the fact that Napoli is a super aggressive team. Probably the most aggressive team in Europe last season. When all your teammates are out attacking, it is much harder to defend. Also when your team don't even have a world class defensive midfielder such as Casemiro and your CB partner isn't particularly great like Stones nor Varane either. Kim covered the vast space via speed, anticipation, strength and tackling ability. Without Kim Napoli probably couldn't play like they did last season and Napoli won the league thanks to that aggressive tactics. You know how crucial Virgil is when Liverpool lost him and their defense collapsed. Liverpool was able to attack like they did only because Virgil covered all the threats. Same for Napoli.
Hi Pythagoras, thanks for uploading it here for free as well. I know you had uploaded it on your Patreon initially but players like Kim deserve the spotlight, Asian players in particular are often somewhat underrated.
amazing video! loved it when you compared him to some of the greats. was possibly wondering if you can make a analysis video on them such as John terry, Jaap Stam etc etc
I'm sorry, but Kim Min-jae goes to Bayern Munich, which is stronger than Manchester United. Your video makes me feel like Man United don't need Minjae Kim. Do you think the Manchester United defense right now will be able to beat Napoli from the squad that won the Scudetto? Napoli also smashed Liverpool.
I am still glad that we still have a lot of young defenders in the game with potential. Pythagoras can you do some arsenal players like saka, martinelli and odegaard because of the great season they just had.
@@PythagorasinBoots Kim was good at that time, but wasn't greatest. Lim min hyeok who's former teammate from same high school with him and play for seoul now was better and had more potential than him at that time from what he said. He played videogame league of legend a lot back then and his tier was gold. He also had a girlfriend at that time but broken after he went to uni. He was funny so had many friends in and out of school he said.
Nice analysis but wonder why it's tailored for a Manchester United move, especially when they were never seriously in the race to sign him, also considering the fact that they are now definitely not getting him 🤔
Love your videos mate. Just a heads up; it seems your closed captions are a bit off from what you're saying and what the captions say. Great stuff on this video though, followed you for about a year or so now :)
If united get him they definitely need a new gk whose better on the ball to compensate for his on the ball weaknesses. Great defender though and would be worth the 45M release clause.
His medium-long range passing and ball carrying is not consistent but I wouldn't say he's weak on the ball, and he probably won't asked to do that often. But regardless who United will sign, they still need new GK. De Gea didn't check too many boxes as modern GK.
@@dimassubrata yh my wording wasn't the best I did mean that long range distribution but definitely his conservation of the ball is fine. Like u said yourself in a way though with de gea it would be a strain to only have one player out of 3 who can consistently play long range passes.

Grear analysis. MU urgently needs at least two great midfilders and a world class scorer. Otherwise, Manchester City will always be the King in Manchester.
Godlike analysis as always 🖤 However, I'm disappointed to see that Wesley Fofana isn't top 10 in any of those stats which theoretically makes him an awful defender. Did Chelsea get tricked again? What do you think sir?

Hi pythagoras, when will you drop a breakdown of legendary players? It's been a while since you dropped the redondo one. And do you think scholes was intergenerational? You didn't rate him in your video.

@@ayub460 More prone to fuck ups. Great potential but it has to show more regularly, also also de Ligt is WAY more likely to score as well as the best "Wall" defender of the entire league. Upa had some horrible games this season.
@@ayub460 Yeah I saw that against City,... De Ligt is the best out of the three, the other two can battle it out for the right to play next to Mad Matt!
@@8asw8 de ligt is better as a sweeper Cb that can score goals similar to Koeman however he is not as god as Upamacano with the variety of passing ability Upamacano bring in the game
Actually you lost all credibility with that comment because you that comment was made with regard to the goal threat Maguire brought "in his pomp", which anyone who followed Maguire in his pomp in and around the 2018 world Cup season will attest to. The point is Kim is not a aerial goal threat as Maguire was in his pomp, which is a simple fact. Use your eyes and brain to form opinions, not social media memes.
@dibyajyotilahiri2667 the world cup games in his "pomp" were against the mighty Panama and Tunisia....2 pub teams.. And yes he was good in those ....terrible in almost every other game I'm a man u fan , watch him every week, he is terrible at offensive headers
As long as he is not partnered with De Ligt long term in a back 4, it shouldn't be an issue. That pairing would be too aggressive in the highest level IMO

Grear analysis. MU urgently needs at least two great midfilders and a world class scorer. Otherwise, Manchester City will always be the King in Manchester.
Completely agree
This analysis is trying to view him through the lens of other players, but he is his own style of defender, and he’s the best in the world at it.
68 lol. ok, well, now let's talking about other defenders in serie A who are not won the best defender last season. where is the catenaccio XD
Kolo muani plz
United get this guy pliz sale Maguire n Telles to create space jus nail him down
did anyone realise that Ruben Dias is 1stfor almost all of the stats between the defenders chosen
😂 we need a mad man acct. Shame eric did not made it
Godlike analysis as always 🖤
However, I'm disappointed to see that Wesley Fofana isn't top 10 in any of those stats which theoretically makes him an awful defender. Did Chelsea get tricked again? What do you think sir?
He’s had injuries and dysfunction all around him. Needs time to mature and settle before being judged too quickly.
Vitor pareira bir teşekkürü hak ediyor eğer onu fenerbahçeye transfer etmeseydi şimdi muhtemelen çinde devam ediyor olurdu. hizli adam markaji harika kademe anlayişi müthiş tek eksisi uzun boylu olmasina rağmen hava hakimiyeti biraz vasat ancak hiziyla onu karşiliyor ve inanilmaz bir patliyicilik var. uzun yillardir izlediğim en iyi stoperlerden biri
kang-in lee please and how he could fit in man united if we sold sancho
psg
축구는 수치로 이야기 안돼는게 많은데 일단 한선수가 팀에 들어와 리그 우승을 만든다는 건 축구 역사에 마라도나 빼고 없었음
Hi pythagoras, when will you drop a breakdown of legendary players? It's been a while since you dropped the redondo one. And do you think scholes was intergenerational? You didn't rate him in your video.
I wouldn’t have Scholes in the inter generational bracket. Probably high generational. I’ll be doing more classics when I can do this as a full time job - nowhere near that at the moment 😂
Scholes was a magician .He would have slotted into any great team
I would love to see an update because Kim wont go to Manu apparently but to Bayern. I recon he will be a beast next to de Ligt
What about Upamacano he is a better ball playing centre back than both of them so how shall he fit in
@@ayub460 More prone to fuck ups. Great potential but it has to show more regularly, also also de Ligt is WAY more likely to score as well as the best "Wall" defender of the entire league. Upa had some horrible games this season.
@@8asw8 he make mistakes however he is better than both of them on the ball
@@ayub460 Yeah I saw that against City,... De Ligt is the best out of the three, the other two can battle it out for the right to play next to Mad Matt!
@@8asw8 de ligt is better as a sweeper Cb that can score goals similar to Koeman however he is not as god as Upamacano with the variety of passing ability Upamacano bring in the game
This channel lost all credibility when I heard "dominant like Harry Maguire in the air in his pomp"
Actually you lost all credibility with that comment because you that comment was made with regard to the goal threat Maguire brought "in his pomp", which anyone who followed Maguire in his pomp in and around the 2018 world Cup season will attest to.
The point is Kim is not a aerial goal threat as Maguire was in his pomp, which is a simple fact.
Use your eyes and brain to form opinions, not social media memes.
@dibyajyotilahiri2667 the world cup games in his "pomp" were against the mighty Panama and Tunisia....2 pub teams..
And yes he was good in those ....terrible in almost every other game
I'm a man u fan , watch him every week, he is terrible at offensive headers
🇩🇿🌼💛👍
لكل لاعب مهارته
Kim is Koulibaly's Successor for Napoli. Anticipates danger well and has the recovery speed to make up for positional mistakes.
Finallyyy
He’d be a great addition to ETH
Please can you do one on Josko Gvadiol
Sure on the list to do
Bro is kim better than lucas hernandez?also do u think bayern is good fit for him?
Good defender
Good ☺️👍👍👍
@Pythagoras in boots pls tell me is it not stupid to play Vinicious and Mbappe in the same teams
Beautiful
Please pro how good josk gvardiol and kovacic 🙏🙏🙏
Never change. Majority of people are too biased/positive
Football
68 lol
Super
Wonder how he compares to a Disasi who just looks like a Rolls Royce on the ball
Goodd
How do you like the fit at Bayern?
As long as he is not partnered with De Ligt long term in a back 4, it shouldn't be an issue. That pairing would be too aggressive in the highest level IMO
@@PythagorasinBoots plus they are both no experts in playing long diagonal balls like Hummels, Boateng did
كرة القدم جميلة
Please, where is the analysis 4 rasmus hojlund
