Prior to Bayern Munich’s 4-0 victory over Heidenheim, a report from broke Sport1 journalist Stefan Kumberger which indicated that club higher-ups were unhappy with Joshua Kimmich’s performance vs. Inter Milan: Joshua Kimmich’s performance against Inter was critically discussed within the club after the second leg. It wasn’t because the performance was particularly poor, but because Bayern simply expect more from him.
Internally, Bayern bosses value Kimmich’s attitude and his willingness to lead the way for his teammates - that’s why his contract was extended in the first place. This reeks of “we paid you to be better than this” and the bosses have a point. Kimmich is no long “the kid.
” He is — for all intents and purposes — the team’s chosen leader and while he was not terrible against Inter Milan, those kind of games do represent chances to “step up.” Kimmich did not exactly do that, but it would be hard to argue anyone did. Live and learn, but — if true — it does appear that Bayern Munich’s bosses are seeking a higher return on their investment.
