🚨 BREAKING: Hansi Flick wants to sign a defensive pivot this summer. His no.1 priority is Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich.
💥 Flick always trusted Kimmich playing as a pivot and using him very little as a right-back, a position in which the German has been playing lately. The coach usually plays a double pivot
▶️ Kimmich played 73 games with Flick at Bayern and 65 of them, he started as a pivot, almost always forming a double pivot with Goretzka in Flick’s 4-2-3-1 formation.
▶️ In the German national team, only one appearance as RB. Sometimes, like at Bayern, alongside Goretzka, but most times alongside Ilkay Gündogan in double pivot.
👥 The main priority in the transfer market for the club’s sports management is to reinforce the pivot position.
