FC Bayern dropped out of the DFB Cup early.

Once again.

Joshua Kimmich is served after the defeat against SC Freiburg.

Munich – Joshua Kimmich is a different person on the pitch.

There the 28-year-old goes out, screams, straddles, complains – shows emotions.

Off the field, the third captain of FC Bayern is rather cautious and chooses his words carefully.

When Kimmich is angry, he usually doesn't speak.

For self protection.

On Tuesday evening after the bitter cup defeat against SC Freiburg (1: 2) with the penalty in injury time, the midfield strategist spoke.

Visibly disappointed, he turned himself in to the journalists.

Name: Joshua Kimmich

Birthday: February 8, 1995 (28 years old)

Club: Bayern Munich

Position: Center Midfield

Market value: 80 million (source: transfermarkt.de)

Joshua Kimmich calls the Cup against Freiburg "brutal"

"Brutal" is what Kimmich (tz-Note 3) called the third early cup in a row.

As a reminder: Under Hansi Flick 2021, Bayern bid farewell to Holstein Kiel in the second round.

Last season, after a 5-0 loss against Borussia Mönchengladbach, it was also the end of the second round - and now after the quarterfinals against SC Freiburg, the final stop.

"The goal was clearly Berlin," said a sad Kimmich after the game in the catacombs of the Allianz Arena.

"It wasn't necessary to lose today." And yet Bayern did it.

Although the team of new coach Thomas Tuchel was clearly the better team over 90 minutes, in the end the Sport-Club is in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup.

"Puts on me!" - Wut-Kimmich after the end of the cup with plain text in the catacombs

"Today we don't lose against an opponent either, where I say they really wanted it and burned and bought our nerve," explains Kimmich: "But we still had the feeling that it was a bit too little.

A tad too little passion, a little too little emotion.

In the end we don't manage to decide a game like that."

When the international was then asked directly about the alleged lack of passion, Kimmich fumed: "At the end of the day it pisses me off, the more titles we lose, now we have another one that we can't win this season," he says firmly, but without getting really loud: "Of course today wasn't our best game, but we controlled it and were the better team.

Freiburg had nothing!

They only had the long shot and the penalty in the 95th minute.”

Mentality question at Bayern?

Kimmich: “Of course everyone is very disappointed.

I hope"

Are his teammates just as disappointed after the cup loss as he is?

Keyword mentality question.

"It's always difficult to talk about others.

I can't look into my head," Kimmich replies: "Of course everyone's disappointed," and adds "I hope".

"But," says Kimmich, "at the end of the day I have enough to do with myself so that I don't go crazy or lose my composure.

A day like today hurts.”

Next weekend, Bayern will face Freiburg again, but this time the Tuchel team will have to play in the league in Breisgau before the Champions League cracker comes to Manchester City in a week's time.

If Bayern fail there, it will be interesting to see which Kimmich you will meet in the mixed zone.
