A good and fitting comparison. The summer Kimmich arrived he voiced his admiration for Bastian Schweinsteiger's style of play. Some of Kimmich's movements also remind me of the times when Schweini still had the engine to make penetrating runs into the penalty box. Kimmich looks even more dangerous on the ground than Schweinsteiger did, while Bastian was better in the air. Talentwise I have no doubt that Kimmich has what it takes to surpass the footballer Schweinsteiger. He is a much more complete package.
I agree whole heartedly, and its great to see how often Carlo is playing him in midfield. We finally have our Schweini replacement. My favorite thing about him is his attitude. You can tell this kid is born with the fire of a true competitor in his heart.
Honestly, I don't even think Vidal knows what his role is. He took a while to adjust to pep's system, and is struggling again with Carlo's changes. Kimmich, to my eyes, plays just like Bastian when he's in midfield.
Uggghh. The Pep fanboys bringing the knives out already. Fortunately Pep's team dropped an epic fail the next day
