Last week, Julian Nagelsmann officially announced that Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich would be the new captain, cementing his legacy as one of Germany’s greatest players of all-time. Kimmich immediately rewarded Naglesmann’s decision with two spectacular performances.
In Tuesday’s clash with the Netherlands, Kimmich even scored in stoppage time to give Germany a 2-1 lead headed into halftime. This is his seventh international goal in 93 appearances.
In his postgame interview (via @iMiaSanMia), Kimmich said, “it’s always special to score, especially in the national team. A great feeling.”
In regards to the game as a whole, he added, “I thought the first half was good apart from the first couple of minutes. We managed to come back and take the lead. We didn’t get to a good start in the second half. Overall it was a high level game. Despite going behind early in the game, we stayed calm and tried to play our game.”
Logic follows that Kimmich will soon be the captain of Bayern as well. Servus, Joshua!
