I clearly said that I\u2019m happy to play where the coach sees me. At Bayern I\u2019m very clearly a No. 6. In the national team the coach decides,\u201d said Kimmich (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1976764722746679474\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kimmich had two goals (one penalty kick), so it was no surprise that his return to right-back was well-received by fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Will he stay there for the long run of this World Cup cycle?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Germany was in need of a good performance and Luxembourg was the right squad for the moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The team spirit appeared to be much higher than the last international where the German were flat and the renewed energy helped power the team to a 4-0 victory. An early red card played a massive role in the outcome, but Germany likely would have rolled easily even without being a man-up for three quarters of the match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let\u2019s dive into all of the details from the match on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works \u2014 Postgame Show!
