Joshua Kimmich has outgrown the Status of Talent for a long time. The 23-Year-old also displays in the Champions League game at Ajax Amsterdam in a strong performance and is on the verge of the record-breaking champion for the Leader to ascend.

For a brief moment, the always cool-headed in force Joshua Kimmich at 3:3 (1:0) rode away game in Amsterdam, but then out of his skin: It was the 27. Minute, as Kimmich Bayern with 2:0 would have had to go in the lead. But first, Lewandowski failed after a fine pass free-standing from about six meters, then Kimmich was blocked from full run pre-haste at the last Moment, and the right male.

The 23-Year-old writhed in pain and let go of the referee and then his displeasure about the, in his view, is not punishable act Foul in the penalty area clearly feel, in the he blared to him a few indignant words. Instead of the 2:0 or a penalty there was for Kimmich then only the Yellow card. It was one of the rare moments of Unkontrolliertheit, the anger and the Emotion in the career Kimmichs – actually, not at all the kind of midfield man who is seen in Munich already for longer as a potential leader, and is currently on the threshold right there.

A Foul, a pain, a Cry: Kimmich

There are different types of management players. The German record champion FC Bayern München for a long time the type was estimated to be “Aggressive Leader” – in the Person of Stefan Effenberg or Mark van Bommel. Both were, of course, also the captain of the club, anything other than, of course, but it is now that a captain of FC Bayern must be carved from this wood. This circumstance is, without doubt, a legacy of the last great Bayern captain Philipp Lahm is.

Parallel to Lame

Both in Munich, as well as the DFB his leadership perfected Lame style with less volume and more of a strategic, gentle exercise of power behind the Scenes, rather than demonstrations of Power compared to other players on the lawn. Many predict Kimmich, a similar career, and this is due to the fact that he sees the Triple-captain of 2013.

Rather, the Kimmich to legitimate it’s the combination of athletic and personal profile, Lame-successor: As a Lame running strong defender Kimmich actually. Flagging career, with the advancing more and more into the midfield at the six-Position, a post he held under Guardiola then also on a regular basis. At this point Kimmich is now even much earlier in the process. In five of the last eight games in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, Bayern coach Niko Kovac offered the national players in the midfield – with success: With Kimmich it was since then, three wins and two draws, has lost to FC Bayern, with Kimmich as a sixer this season.

For coach Niko Kovac has won something, and the realization that the long-missing stability, especially as regards the counter vulnerability of Bavaria – is back, and Joshua Kimmich, the design of the game in the midfield even more, him still more of his stamp on in large part. But not only is he alone: the other part of The successful Bavarian solution to the problem of the return to the double-Six, the Triple when a record master is a coach, Jupp Heynckes, for reasons of stability preferred.

Promise for the future

And also this part of the double-Six has a name: Leon Goretzka, before the season, free transfer from Schalke brought in as a more body-hugging Part of the perfect match in the defensive midfield of Munich and is currently set alongside Kimmich on the double-six. And also Goretzka is still very young, the Bavaria-new arrival (23) is only two days older than Kimmich and still has many years in front of you – in the best case, as the head of the Bayern game in the future, together with Joshua Kimmich.

While in and about the FC Bayern Munich, meanwhile, is debating whether it might be a mistake might have been, with unwavering loyalty to Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery as a winger, embody the two young players currently in the much-needed generation change. And not just on the court, Kimmich play, as we know since years in Munich, but also in the power structure, in the ranks of the leadership of the German record football champion.

And there is still quite a Kimmich certainly closer to that than his only pre-season the Team pushed forward to Partner Leon Goretzka. And Kimmich makes it Lame: the influence of and in addition to the lawn to increase, coupled with personal qualities such as diligence, ambition, humility, and a respectful Encounter with this mixture, Philipp has brought Lame, it is the undisputed captain of Germany’s football-reminiscent of the sea, to the Triple-winner and the champion of the world. Although, it is Joshua Kimmich that he is going to continue the way, the once Lame walked, and the led always to the top, and more.

One who knows what it means to go a long, successful path in the business of football, Inter Milan, club legend Javier Zanetti. He also Lahm looks in Kimmich the legitimate successor. “I can imagine very well that he can follow a path such as Philipp Lahm, who had an outstanding career. But not only that, Philip was a model footballer, not only in Germany but worldwide. His example goes beyond football.“ A significant piece of this way Kimmich, at the age of 23 years is gone already. Of the next steps in the ambitious professional seems to be able to nothing other than serious violations or Similar hold. With regard to, had Lame luck, remained of serious injury, apart from a torn cruciate ligament at the beginning of the career, largely spared. Assuming that it is the luck of the Brave, then it will Kimmich sure to part.
