Germany lost to Portugal in the European League early yesterday morning, and Biography published an article talking about Kimmich's national team's milestone loss.
Kimmich, who completed the national team's 100-game milestone in the "living room" of Allianz Stadium, encountered a surprise scene before the game. His eldest son suddenly appeared in the player's passage as a handheld caddy.
"Why are you?" Kimich said as he hugged the child tightly into his arms, then took his son's little hand. The picture was so sweet.
However, the beauty failed to continue. Although he took the lead with Werz's goal, the German team never managed to control the rhythm of the game and show dominance. After the game, Kimmich pointed out the problem bluntly.
The captain has always been sharp-talking. He said bluntly after the game: "We are far from reaching the limit. We have not been able to inject the energy we deserve into the field. It is completely impossible to see that we have a winner mentality and desire to win. Even after leading 1-0, I did not feel the team's desire for a place in the finals. There are too many problems with today's performance."
For the objective factors of lineup restructuring and the absence of the main players, Kimmich refused to use this as an excuse: "Although many key players are missing, it has nothing to do with the energy of the field. We need more courage to ask for the ball and the courage to create opportunities with the ball. ”
He continued to analyze: "Today these traits are seriously lacking. We have almost no high-level counterattack. We have poor performance in the confrontation, so it is naturally difficult to create opportunities for offense and defense to change. The team's condition after 1-0 declined and completely fell into a passive chase mode. "
Despite being frustrated, Kimmich was still proud of the milestone at the end of the game: "It is really touching for my son to enter the game. It is extremely special honor to play for Germany for hundreds of games. Especially when I was young, I was never a talented star of tomorrow. Every achievement was achieved through hard work."
