Livestream on 24 January In Bayern's 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin on Sunday, Kimmich has returned to the middle of midfield for the first time since 6 November last year. Team boss Nagelsman praised the midfield commander's performance after the game, admitting that he knew Kimmich preferred to play in midfield.
Nagelsman: "He prefers to play in the sixth position to the wing, I think that's clear. One of the wonderful things is that Kimmich is world class in both positions. ”
In the match against Hertha Berlin, Kimmich had 125 passes, a success rate of 91 percent; he had seven key passes in the game and completed two assists, providing accurate deep passes in the team's attack.
Nagelsman: "He played very well and got a lot of possession. For wingers, it is very important that the team has a player in the sixth position in the midfield who also wants to take the ball and can guarantee the necessary ball possession. ”
Can Kimmich's brilliant performance convince Nagelsmann to just let him play in midfield after that? Nagelsman laughed: "I know he prefers to play in midfield. But he doesn't have to tell me that every week. I've written this down in my notebook, and I've remembered it. ”
