Joshua Kimmich sets the tempo, covering every blade of grass and pressing relentlessly for ninety minutes. He's a central figure in the build-up, dictating play with his range of passing and accurate crosses. He’s incredibly well-rounded for a DM, taking on responsibility, handling the ball, and winning it back effectively, though he can sometimes try to do too much. His leadership has been questioned in the national team. Not the most physical in aerial duels, and clearances aren't his strong suit, but undeniably one of the best sixes in Germany.
