Hansi Flick to use Joshua Kimmich as inverted right-back for Germany

Joshua Kimmich naturally operates as double pivot
Joshua Kimmich will be assigned the position of an inverted right-back by Hansi Flick. Pep Guardiola gave Flick the concept for Kimmich's new position. Flick showed his teammates videos of Manchester City during an internal discussion at the team hotel to clarify the fresh strategies and philosophy.
The videos featured John Stones primarily. On the move and in the centre of the field, Kimmich will connect the defence and the offence. He performs as a right-back in a back 4 without the ball.
Joshua Kimmich, a defensive midfielder for Bayern Munich, is regarded as one of the best in the entire world at position No. 6. But do the team captains feel the same way, and is this where his assistance is most necessary?
For a while, this has served as a topic of discussion for both club and nation. Kimmich is now at the camp for the German men's national team. And right-back Kimmich might make a comeback with two crucial friendlies scheduled for Hansi Flick, the struggling Germany coach:
Given that this was merely a test game, it is unclear how Flick would use Kimmich against Japan on September 9 and France on September 12.
Fans of the German national team will have to make do without the squad's dependable conductor, Joshua Kimmich, as well as Leon Goretzka, a colleague from Bayern Munich, who was not included in this round of call-ups.
Another interesting fact from this practise match report: Germany's spearhead may have Kai Havertz, a midfielder for Arsenal FC, as No. 9.
