While he is currently playing the Euro with Germany, Joshua Kimmich was the subject of a documentary on his life and his journey just before the first match against Scotland. The Bayern Munich player was particularly very critical in the interview for his documentary “Joshua Kimmich – Leader and Driver”, criticizing the Bavarian club for not having supported him during the difficult moments of his career during the Covid pandemic. 19. This documentary fueled rumors of transfers, notably to Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona, which is not to the taste of Lothar Matthäus who made this clear in an interview.
“There’s something that strikes me about Joshua Kimmich: I think the documentary about him that’s airing right now doesn’t come at the right time. It’s a distraction, we keep asking him questions about it. Social media talks about it a lot. I don’t know why we let this kind of thing happen during a European Championship, when the focus should be on football. We have had negative experiences during the last two World Cups. I don’t understand what’s going on at all, especially with someone as experienced and intelligent as Kimmich.”he told German media.
