British media BBC praised Kim Min-jae for his outstanding performance in the game against Uruguay.



On the 24th local time, the BBC posted a composite photo of Kim Min-jae transformed into a 'monster' on the official SNS account immediately after the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage group H match between Korea and Uruguay.



Along with the photo, he added, "In front of the monster Kim Min-jae, the Uruguayan strikers did not enjoy it at all."



In particular, under Kim Min-jae in the photo, Uruguay's leading strikers Darwin Nunez and Luis Suarez are posing as if they are running away, drawing attention.

In fact, in this game, Nunez and Suarez's shooting was blocked every time by Kim Min-jae and the 'iron defense'.



According to FIFA's tally, South Korea had 6 shots and Uruguay had 10 shots, but none were on target.



Kim Min-jae, who defended the defensive line until the end of the game despite a calf injury in the second half, said, "I've never been nervous while playing, but I was very nervous for the first time." He said, "It was a good experience."



Previously, when the nickname 'monster' was mentioned in an interview released by the British Guardian, he expressed affection, saying, "It is a word that sums up himself well."



He also expressed his confidence, saying, "I show my strengths as a defender."

BBC commentator who scored Japan's victory, also scored Korea-Uruguay draw


Meanwhile, England football legend and BBC commentator Chris Sutton's match prediction was hit again and is a hot topic. 



Sutton, who accurately predicted Japan's 2-1 victory over Germany on the 23rd, even scored the draw against Korea and Uruguay. 



At the time of the analysis, he predicted a 1-1 draw against Korea and Uruguay, saying, "This group is not easy to predict, so I changed the result several times by myself." 



Bentuho, who is running second in Qatar World Cup Group H with Uruguay, will play the second group match against Ghana at the Education City Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 28th at 10:00 pm.
