‘Iron Pillar’ Kim Min-jae (Napoli)’s uniform is used for good.
The Italian daily ‘Il Martino’ reported on the 28th (Korean time) that the signed uniform of Kim Min-jae would be used for charity activities in an article titled ‘Ferrara-Cannavaro Foundation, Kim Min-jae-Cravaczquelia shirt coming up for auction’. .
According to reports, the foundation auctioned off the uniforms of Kim Min-jae and his teammate Hvitza Kravatskellia for 800 euros each (approximately 1.1 million won).
At the charity event ‘Art Charity and Fashion Event’ held in Milan on the 20th, Kim Min-jae’s uniform number 3 appeared on a mannequin. Kim Min-jae’s signature was engraved on the uniform.
Former Napoli defender Chiro Ferrara, the operator of the Ferrara-Cannavaro Foundation, and the organizers of this charity event took a commemorative photo next to Kim Min-jae’s uniform.
The Ferrara-Cannavaro Foundation was founded together with Ferrara and his brothers, Fabio and Paolo Cannavaro. The purpose of the establishment is to “help to eradicate the difficulties of underprivileged children and adolescents in the Naples region” by actively utilizing football personal connections.
In 2020, the foundation auctioned off a worn-out uniform of Diego Maradona, the “Legend of Naples,” to support COVID-19, recording a successful bid of 55,000 euros (approximately 73 million won at the time), drawing attention worldwide. 스포츠토토
Three years later, Kim Min-jae and Cravatzkelia were certified as the ‘Faces of Naples’.
Kim Min-jae, who joined Napoli this season, played in 30 out of 31 Serie A matches and made an absolute contribution to Napoli maintaining an ‘overwhelming lead’.
Napoli got 78 points based on the most goals scored (67) and the least goals conceded (21) in 31 games, and the championship was on the verge of victory. With 7 games left, the difference between Lazio (61 points) and Lazio (61 points) widens to 17 points, confirming the scudetto against Salernitana in the 32nd round at the earliest. The last time Napoli won the title was in 1990.
Football team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who met with Kim Min-jae in Naples this month, congratulated him on winning the league in advance, saying, “Kim Min-jae will be placed in an unimaginable environment.”
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae is scheduled to undergo basic military training for three weeks in June, after finishing this season. This raised the possibility that he would miss the A Match 2 match in June.
‘Area Napoli’, a local newspaper in Naples, reported that the 3-week hiatus that Kim Min-jae left for basic military training, which is receiving attention from big clubs, is good news for Naples, which wants the ‘monster’ to remain. Kim Min-jae has been linked to Premier League big clubs such as Man City and Man United. Kim Min-jae has a buyout clause of 40 million euros that will only be activated from July 1 to 15.
