Loew: If anyone can play the role of Germany s midfielder, I would put Kimmich on the right

Lew, the former meritorious coach of the German team, recently talked about the controversy over Kimmich's position in a program and gave his own views on the overall strength of the German team. Loew made it clear that he might put Kimmich on the right.

Loew: "If there are other players who can also perform this position well (referring to the core of the midfield), I might put Kimmich on the right."

Nonetheless, Loew also pointed out that we must always pay attention to the actual situation of the team. Unexpected circumstances such as injuries can change the situation at any time. "So you can never accurately say a year in advance who will end up in which position."

Speaking of Kimmich, Loew emphasized that Nagelsmann is facing a similar situation to when he dealt with Lahm: "The only player I will really decide the position based on the situation is Kimmich. Because as long as necessary, he is fully capable of producing absolutely world-class performance in any position."

Loew said that what is more important than Kimmich's position is " What kind of system the team plays?": "This will bring some subtle differences - how to position, how to organize the attack from the back, how to allocate space in defense and attack, these are very important to the team. Who plays which position is not always the deciding factor. But those players who serve as backups must know their roles clearly. "

Loew added that if, like now, there is a suitable replacement in the midfield: "I might also put him (Kimmich) on the right." This is already a good central axis. "

"I believe that this central axis actually already exists. With Tower, Rudiger, maybe Goretzka, Musiala, Wirtz, and a healthy Havertz, this is already a very good central axis. "

"We've definitely had issues in those positions in recent years. We have very high quality players in some positions, but in other positions at the moment we lack the world-class quality that is necessary to seriously compete for the title. "
