Joshua Kimmich and his "real" comeback

Already Thomas Müller had noticed during the 90 minutes in the Berlin Olympic Stadium that, unlike often, not only Thomas Müller loud commands distributed. We heard each other, the scorer praised to 2: 0.

The meant was, among other things, Joshua Gimmick, who was for the first time after his Corona infection again on the favored position in the central midfield of him and his real comeback celebrated there. Next, Thomas, on, on, on, on, he roared towards his national team colleague, but otherwise put most accents with the ball at the foot.

Gimmick is looking forward to 90 minutes of control

With 154 ball actions, 125 passports (quota: 91 percent) and two direct gate templates, Gimmick was again the boss in the midfield of Bayern after more than two months. It's really fun to stand back in the square, the 26-year-old was pleased after the 4: 1 victory at DAZN. That's fun 90 minutes, because we have controlled it 90 minutes.

Gimmick was the driver of an intensified counterpressing approach of Bavaria, overburdened and nervous Berliners made many ball losses around their own penalty area. We wanted to focus on it, Gimmick explained, In general, we did not do that in the past games so well, the oppressing. That was good today, accordingly, we also had many high ball gains and one or the other scorching, straight In the first half, it could have been a bit higher.

Nagelsmann: Josh is world-class on both positions

A And even in the second half, when several plug-in passes Gimmicks were partially sloppy. It's very important that you have one on the six who also wants the ball and then the necessary ball security, said coach Julian Nagelsmann, who had recently set up on the right side of the past. The beautiful is that Josh is world-class on both positions. He is also unbelievably good as an exterfidigger. I know he rather plays inside, but he does not have to tell me every week now, I wrote that in my notebook Remember me too.

Gimmick is in the way of his best form, does not have any restrictions on health and now directs the focus to the upcoming weeks: We need a pair of such games, which was partly a bit too constant the games before us. We are on one Get a good way and further show such services, then a good feeling comes, then self-confidence comes. And then we will see even more such games.
