Kimmich: “Have to get the ball over the line”
Bayern Munich’s sports director Max Eberl had previously said when asked about the status of the contract extensions: “We will take the thing volley. A ball has not been in the air for that long.” Kimmich emphasized this statement: “I want to join the words.”
The 30-year-old, who has been playing for Bavaria since 2015, explained: “It was of course difficult for the last few days because we also had a lot of games. The Max said it very nicely: Now we have to see that we are still getting the ball volley over the goal line together,” said the captain of the Defince national team.
