Matthaus: Kimmich ‘is the logical and right choice’
However, Matthaus still fully agrees with Nagelsmann’s decision to appoint Kimmich as the captain of the German team. “He was the logical and right choice. His status, his performances and his experience speak for themselves. He also pays lip service to the wounds, which he can do even more now as captain.”
The 63-year-old Kimmich predicted he would also take over the captaincy of the record-winning side “if he plays for Bayern longer than Manuel Neuer”. Prefer to have a midfielder as captain. “I prefer the captain to play in the middle rather than in the back, but Lahm still did a good job and certainly Neuer did too. But if I can hope for that, then the coach’s outstretched arm should be in action .
The German Football Association team will face Hungary at home in Dusseldorf on Saturday (September 7) to welcome the start of the new UEFA Nations League season. The action continues on Tuesday, September 10, in Amsterdam against the Netherlands.
