Philipp Lahm, former captain of the German national team that won the World Cup in 2014, has expressed his opinion on Joshua Kimmich's position in the 'Mannschaft'. According to Lahm, Kimmich should play in central midfield for Germany, just as he has done throughout the season at Bayern Munich.

Kimmich's Performance in Central Midfield

The former player highlighted that Kimmich has played the entire season in central midfield, forming a solid axis alongside Aleksandr Pavlovic. Despite Bayern's defeat in the Champions League semi-finals against PSG, Lahm emphasizes Kimmich's consistency in that position over the years.

Balance in the German National Team

Lahm suggests that Germany's midfield would benefit from Kimmich's presence, alongside players like Manuel Neuer and Jonathan Tah, all teammates at Bayern. He also proposes Waldemar Anton to take up the right-back position, providing balance to the team alongside David Raum on the left flank.
