One of the most prosperous German footballers, Joshua Kimmich, is lucky that for his relatively short career he has had the opportunity to work with coaches such as Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti, Ralf Rangnick, Joachim Low and, most importantly, Josep Guardiola. The Bayern Munich player won the 2017 German National Player Award for the year 2017, leaving behind some of the more famous athletes. Kimmich is 23 years old and many now consider him to be a heir to Philippe Laam on the right wing of the defense, but before that he was a typical defensive midfielder.




In January 2015, while I was in the Leipzig, my agent called me to tell me that a club wants to buy me, `said the talent in an interview with Guardian. `I asked who he was, and he said, Bayern. Do not joke with me!', he said. 'I could not believe it because it is not normal for Bayern to ask you when you are in the Second Bundesliga. In principle, the club can buy every single player in the world. And it was even harder to believe Pep Guardiola wanted me. `My heart beat very fast and that was a special moment!`, Kimmich continued with a narrative about his first encounter with the Spaniard. - I asked him: Why me?. He explained how you introduced me to the pitch, talking about my style of play and what she liked. He has seen aspects in which I would improve my qualities and told me that there are other positions I could handle, not just the midfield. He was watching me at the European Championship until 19 and he taught me perfectly. I thought, Wow, this guy knows perfectly well both me and my style. He also promised me that I would get a chance in his team. This is a very good answer when you are young and want to fight the strongest in the world. Pep showed me completely new spaces on the terrain I had not suspected, and I raised my level. He keeps much on your first touch and knowing what to do with the ball after that. You need to know where your teammates are. That`s why you have to look around and save everything on the court.




Kimmich also commented on the famous Guardiola`s incident when, after a match predicted by contact verified football picks against Borussia (Dortmund), he stopped him on the pitch and began to talk to him in a furious way, looking to his side.

Then I played as a central defender, but for the last five minutes of the game I went into the midfield. However, I was not able to get back into the car and I was often back behind, and I was still acting as a defender. He called to me to correct myself, but I did not understand it. After the last signal, he immediately wanted to explain to me what I was wrong with. Pep likes doing that, Kimmich explained.




Bayern`s footballer continues to claim his favorite role is a defensive midfielder and hopes to play basically there.
