Disastrous draw (3:3) of the Germans against Ukraine. Coach Hansi Flick (58) experimented with a chain of three, the players sometimes seemed lost. The pundits have been tearing up the DFB team’s game in recent days.
Joshua Kimmich (28) is one of the critics. The Bayern star has had a difficult season at his club, the championship title could only be achieved with a lot of bangs. Bayern critic Mario Basler (54) barely leaves a hair behind the midfielder in his podcast ‘Basler ballert’: ‘Kimmich slows down his teammates. They’re all afraid to play alongside him!” The Bayern legend would like to see Flick bench Kimmich for his future experiments.
“He makes the players worse!”
In addition to Basler, other Bayern experts also pick up Kimmich. For example, Lothar Matthäus (62). “Everyone who plays next to him is constantly getting worse! Goretzka, Sabitzer or Gravenberch,” says the German record player.
Matthäus sees the reason for this in the fact that Kimmich has the feeling of “having to take all positions”. And his exaggerated gestures and his ambition should irritate some people in Munich and in the national team. “He is definitely an absolute leader,” says Matthäus. “But these announcements and gestures get on everyone’s nerves at some point.”
The criticism goes so far that the players of the national team at the World Cup in Qatar have questioned the role of the midfielder. The allegations range from overly ambitious behavior to alibi gestures.
Support from the coach – controversial within the club
Kimmich is also the big subject in Munich at the moment. According to “Sport Bild”, the Bayern sports committee around coach Thomas Tuchel (49) met in Säbener Strasse to analyze the situation. A controversial discussion is said to have erupted around Kimmich.
Thomas Tuchel has described him as his most important field player. The midfielder has already been told within the club that he should “laugh again”. In addition to those responsible for Bayern, national coach Flick also supports his aggressive leader. But like Tuchel, eighth should see him in a more offensive role.
Three-time winner Ilkay Gündogan (32) is much more popular with all experts. Mario Basler and Philipp Lahm (39) label the ManCity captain “world class”. Basler praises the midfielder: “Ilkay is much better than Kimmich, he works a lot defensively and knows what his job is on the field. That’s why he’s the right leader.” The only question is whether Hansi Flick sees it that way. (nsa)
