[SPOTVNEWS = Reporter Maeng Bong-ju] Every day, rave reviews pour in. Not a few voices say that Kim Min-jae is the world's best defender, let alone Serie A.

On the 28th (Korean time), Ivan Zacharoni, editor-in-chief of the Italian media 'Corriele dello Sport', said, "Napoli should focus more on protecting Kim Min-jae than Victor Osimen. He is the best defender in the world. There is no player to compare with in terms of skill and consistency. Except for going to the bathroom, Kim Min-jae is a perfect defender with no flaws."

Osimen is the best striker in Serie A this season and the ace of Napoli. He is the top scorer in the league with 19 goals. It is popular, with transfer rumors circulating with several big clubs, including Manchester United.

I thought Kim Min-jae was more important than Osimen. This is because Kim Min-jae's share in the defense and build-up, which is the center of Napoli's rise, is absolute.

Napoli have conceded only 15 goals in 24 Serie A games this season. 1st place in the league with the fewest goals. Kim Min-jae, who boasts an iron-walled defense as the starting center back, played a big role.

Recently, as Napoli is getting close to winning the Serie A championship and winning the Champions League of the European Football Association (UEFA), Kim Min-jae's attention has grown. Numerous experts, including former Italian national team legends, club officials, and journalists, are eagerly praising Kim Min-jae.
