Back to the Midfield: Joshua Kimmich takes on a different role for Germany

Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has floated between central midfield and right-back over the years for club and country, but now the 30-year-old will be manning the center of the park once again for Die Mannschaft.

“I’m playing in midfield at FC Bayern, I’m happy that I’ll be playing in midfield here as well. I have the feeling that I can better bring my strengths in midfield because I’m more involved in the game, although I tried to be involved at right-back too. The input to my teammates is also better from midfield. That’s probably the advantage of the position, even though right-back is also a very interesting position. In general, regardless of the position, I always try to take the positives and implement what the coach demands from me. At the end of the day it’s his decision,” said Kimmich.
