A biography for Joshua Kimmichhasn’t been written yet.
“All that matters to me is playing.”
“For me, it's all the time a big challenge to play against the best player of the opponent. I think only with this I can develop and grow for myself.”
“At FC Bayern, you know that, every year, you have to compete for titles - but, on the other hand, there is a possibility of stagnating at Bayern if you do not get the chances to play.”
“I only know Bayern with Thomas Muller. Without him the club would not be where it is now. It's the case that when he comes on he always plays well.”
“It's a fact I don't want to leave Bayern Munich.”
“It's always nice to play in new and big stadiums.”
“My favourite position is in the midfield. I think I can play to my strengths there. I can communicate with every player. I'm more in the game, because as a right-back you have to stay on one side and you're not always in the game for 90 minutes. So I prefer the centre midfield position.”
“This is the most special thing at Bayern Munich. They won everything, but the players still want to win more.”
“It's not that it doesn't matter to me where I play, but it's secondary.”
“I took a risk by joining Bayern.”
“If I had a choice between playing and watching, then I would always decide to play each and every time.”
“When you're fit but you can't play, it's very hard, especially for the head, especially for a young player. But all you can do is train hard and give your best. Afterwards, it's the decision of the coach.”
“You've got to have self-confidence that you're going to make it at Bayern and I have that self-confidence.”
“You can see that mistakes in the Bundesliga are punished harshly and that we can have problems against every opponent if we don't play at the limit - even if it is the bottom of the table.”
“I just started playing football because it's fun for me, it's the best thing for me.”
“I know my weaknesses and work on them - especially when I'm not playing, I try to do more.”
“I'm not scared of any other player, but I normally know the quality of the others and try to be ready before the game. But I don't forget my own style to play soccer.”
“It's not easy to speak about your own performances.”
“I responded and anticipated faster than other players. I was not the fastest, but my passing, speed of thought and the ability to anticipate were my strengths.”
“It's my goal to establish myself at Bayern Munich.”
