Set to captain Germany
Kimmich is set to captain and be a major part of the German midfield and defense at the World Cup.
Analysis: Kimmich is heading to yet another international competition with Germany and will be set to captain the side as they go for glory, likely to slide into the right-back role he typically holds with his national team. This is a bit of a contrast from his midfield roles during the league season, although it allows the team another playmaking option from the defense, while also allowing him to move up the field if another defender is brought onto the pitch. He will additionally be a primary taker of corner kicks and free kicks, giving him yet another raise in value as primarily a defender. He is coming off a season with two goals and 10 assists in 42 appearances between UCL and league play, so he is holding decent form. Expect the German to play a major factor in the team, potentially even getting on a few penalty kicks if the option arises.
Sets up Harry Kane twice
Kimmich had two assists while taking an off target shot, crossing four times inaccurately, creating four chances and making two interceptions during Saturday's 5-1 win over Koln.
Analysis: Kimmich set up Harry Kane in the 10th and 13th minutes while leading Bayern in crosses, chances created and interceptions. The midfielder wraps up another title winning season with 10 goal invovlements, 121 crosses and 56 chances created across 29 league appearances.
