Kimmich raves about the Bayern package and Díaz: „Very, very sexy“ | OneFootball

FC Bayern have reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup – and the mood at Säbener Straße is correspondingly confident. In the Mixed Zone, Joshua Kimmich spoke not only about the sporting side of things, but also about the future of Dayot Upamecano and the qualities of new signing Luis Díaz. The midfield boss had some clear words to say

When asked about the future of Dayot Upamecano, Kimmich made no secret of his opinion of the situation. He had spoken to his team-mate „once or twice“, explained the 30-year-old – and made it clear: „He knows my opinion.“

For Kimmich, the matter is clear. From his perspective, staying in Munich is „of course the right decision“. At the same time, he showed understanding for the fact that not all factors can be judged from the outside. „But I can’t judge all the factors that play a role from his perspective,“ said the DFB captain

This was followed by a clear declaration of love for the club: „I think the Bayern Munich package is very, very sexy at the moment.“ Kimmich not only mentioned the club itself, but also the city, the fans, the team and the coach. „It’s a great pleasure to be part of this group,“ he emphasized

At a time when things are going well in sporting terms and the team is in a promising position in all competitions, Kimmich is sending out a clear signal. FC Bayern presents itself as an attractive overall package – both in sporting and structural terms

In addition to Upamecano, Kimmich also raved about Luis Díaz. From the Bayern star’s point of view, the Colombian attacking player has exactly the mentality that is needed in crucial phases of the season

„An extremely energetic player,“ is how Kimmich described the new signing. Particularly impressive: Díaz is completely independent of the score. „Whether we’re leading 3-0 or 2-0 down – he always gives everything.“ This consistency in commitment and intensity is what makes him so valuable

Kimmich particularly emphasized the attacker’s attitude, saying that Díaz „wants to get stuck into every tackle“, is „never too good for a run“ and has an infectious joy for soccer. „This joy for soccer is infectious with him,“ explained Kimmich

In the end, he summed up his impressions with a sentence that reveals a lot about the current mood in the team: „With him, I really have the feeling that he’s happy to play soccer every three days. That’s really cool.“

With guys like this and a cohesive team, FC Bayern want to take the next step in the coming weeks – and perhaps actually write another season that will be talked about in Munich for a long time to come.
