- Joshua Kimmich towers over Schalke when FC Bayern wins the DFB Cup .
- The leader is irreplaceable in Munich and in the DFB team with a view to the EURO 2020 .
- The young Swabian has long reminded Bastian Schweinsteiger of the record champions.
Munich / Gelsenkirchen - What - what - an - achievement!
Lothar Matthäus had repeatedly emphasized: " Joshua Kimmich can play world class in any position!" And when it says "Loddar", the guy has to be really "doll".
Bayern Munich: Lothar Matthäus raves about Joshua Kimmich
No question: What the 25-year-old international presented at Bayern's 1-0 win in the DFB Cup quarter-finals at Schalke was downright "triumphant".
The Swabian had 180 ball actions (!) In Gelsenkirchen, 90 at half time - more than the entire Schalke team (!). In addition, there was a pass rate of 95 percent, combined with three goal-shot participations and the winning goal - "doll", "doll", "doll", to say it in Matthew's words.
Joshua Kimmich: At Bayern and in the DFB team on the six
Kimmich played against Royal Blue in a completely unfamiliar position - as a central defender. After he had been retrained from right-back to six in defensive midfield by Bayern coach Hansi Flick and national coach Joachim Löw with a view to the European Football Championship 2020 .

But also in the middle of the defense, the international played the part of the first player opener with flying colors, always intervening in front of goal.
Kimmich crossed like a strategist between the chains, usually directed from the center line as a commanding officer, anticipated the opponent's moves, prevented them with a good duel rate (67 percent) and initiated his own attacks.
Bayern Munich: Joshua Kimmich as once Bastian Schweinsteiger
It quickly became a gag on social media that FC Bayern * did not play against Schalke, but only Kimmich challenged the Bundesliga opponents.
OK then. With such achievements, the leader takes away from all critics the arguments that wrongly criticize him for his opinionative nature. He has long been leading with his claim to leadership, sometimes says publicly: "As a Bayern Munich player you have to go into the game with eggs."
Now it would be wrong to say that football Germany has not seen such a player for a long time. If the Munich player plays like this, he looks much more like his predecessor's clone at the record champions: Kimmich has long been reminiscent of the young Bastian Schweinsteiger in terms of style and leadership.

While Joshua Kimmich is a constant at Bayern , Hansi Flick allegedly wants to guide two German internationals to Munich.
Namesake Joshua Zirkzee is also set to become a fixture in the record champions, but Real Madrid apparently has something against it.
