Bayern star Kimmich: private projects crash crashing - "Unfortunately, both are more of a botch"

Joshua Kimmich plays an absolute leading role at FC Bayern Munich and the DFB.

Outside of football, however, he sometimes lacks his accustomed accuracy.

Munich - ball security, passing game, mentality - Joshua Kimmich * has many footballing talents.

He has been bringing this very successfully to Bayern Munich * for years, be it as a right-back or as a central midfielder.

He is considered the captain of the future, both with the German record champions and with the national team.

Elsewhere, the 26-year-old is less gifted than that.

In an interview with Bayern * -Vereinsmagazin

,

Kimmich revealed

that he has glaring weaknesses in handicrafts - including insights into his most recent projects!

Joshua Kimmich from FC Bayern Munich: Not very talented in handicrafts

In the first lockdown of the corona pandemic, he tried his luck, as Kimmich reports: “We built a sandpit for the kids and a wooden bench.

But both are unfortunately rather botch, not TÜV-tested.

There are a few screws sticking out of the bench, so you have to be careful where you sit down. "

The accuracy that distinguishes Kimmich on the pitch is therefore lacking elsewhere.

Caution: “Well, there are two of us.

With three there is a certain risk of injury.

You then have to sit in the gap between the screws, ”he explained, admitting that he was“ not particularly skilled at handwork ”.

FC Bayern Munich: Joshua Kimmich was brought up "sparingly"

When asked whether he had built the bank himself because the alternative was too expensive for him, Kimmich explained that there were two reasons for it.

“I'm Swabian, I was brought up sparingly and I already have that in me.

As a professional you can afford a lot - but then I always ask myself the question: Do you have to afford everything?

Does this take me further, does it make me happier?

I treat myself to something.

But it has to make sense, ”said Kimmich.

“At the bank, honestly, in the end we actually got off worse in terms of costs than if we had bought the finished thing: wood, screws, hinges, that all costs.

But it was more about employment.

I wanted to do something.

And when you assemble something and see a result in the end, you don't always have that, ”he said.

Consolation for Kimmich: He only sees the bank at home - as a footballer, thanks to his achievements, he rarely gets to know it.

Maybe he can get handyman tips from another German sports star?

Sebastian Vettel also started one or the other project in lockdown.

He seemed to have got along a little better than Kimmich *.
