The German national team is supposed to be good…and yet, it has been quite a while since the squad has really struck fear into anyone.
When asked about how this current iteration of Germany compares to others in the recent past, Kimmich said that such things do not matter — only how the teams plays and what kind of results it can get.
“It doesn’t matter. In the end what matters is what you show on the pitch. There’s no guarantee to win titles with the best squad in the world. I remember in 2018 we
had one of the best squads in the world, and we all know where that led us. What’s important is not to have the best squad in the world, but the best team in the world. We’re working on that. Everyone should give their all for the team. If that’s the case, we don’t need the best squad to win games,” Kimmich said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kimmich seems to understand the importance of Germany’s requirement for full buy-in from its roster. The
“team first” mentality and how prevalent it is what will make or break this unit.
