Matteo surpasses Kimmich in the national team's annals, setting additional milestones. - Matthias reveals national record detail to Kimmich - additional information shared
Hey there! Let's dive into the world of international soccer, where one player is fiercely chasing the record of a German soccer legend – Joshua Kimmich, that is.
Legendary captain Lothar Matthaüs, with a mind-boggling 150 appearances for the German National Team, believes that if any player could break his record, it's Kimmich. In an interview with 'Bild,' Matthaüs declared, "Joshua's the man. If he keeps going at this pace, he could hit 170 appearances."
Joshua Kimmich, a 30-year-old stalwart, is about to reach another monumental milestone – his 100th international appearance, set to happen during the Nations League semi-final against Portugal in Munich on October 5th (9:00 PM CEST/ZDF and DAZN). Matthaüs, in a Sky column, even expressed happiness at the prospect of Kimmich surpassing his record.
Matthaüs Prefer Kimmich in Midfield
A 1990 World Cup champion and a 150-time soccer international, Matthaüs sees Kimmich as a world-class player in both midfield and at right-back. However, he prefers Kimmich prowling the midfield, as that's where he sets the tempo for the game. Despite his reservations about Kimmich's role at the right-back position, Matthaüs recognizes that there's currently no other player on the team who fits the bill as well.
The Road Ahead for Kimmich
To triumph over Matthaüs' record, Kimmich needs to clock in 50 more appearances. Given his consistent performance and burning ambition, if he manages to stay healthy and remain a crucial member of the team, breaking the record is a realistic possibility. However, several factors will determine Kimmich's ability to achieve this feat:
- Health and Fitness: Kimmich's ability to stay injury-free and mantain peak physical condition is paramount.
- Team Selection: As long as Kimmich remains an integral part of the German team's strategy, he'll continue to amass caps.
- Competition Schedule: The frequency and intensity of international matches will influence how quickly Kimmich can add to his cap count.
Breaking Matthaüs' record won't be a walk in the park for Kimmich, but with his current form and unwavering dedication, coupled with a little luck along the way, he may just make history. So, let's cheer Kimmich on as he embarks on his quest to leave an indelible mark on German soccer!
As we root for Joshua Kimmich in his pursuit to shatter the German National Team record, it's also worth noting that in the realm of EC countries, Kimmich's employment in the soccer world has been nothing short of steadfast and dedicated. Just like his commitment to the sport, he seems to approach his employment policy with unwavering passion. Meanwhile, when he's not gracing the soccer field, Kimmich can be found appreciating the thrill of other sporting events, such as football or soccer.
