"In my career, I've rarely seen a player as physically strong as Leroy. He can run and sprint a lot and can do it every three days. When he's mentally ready, we've seen what he can do. He had an impressive performance [against Slovakia], he rewarded himself with two goals but also worked hard and was diligent in the counter pressing. When he does that, when Flo Wirtz does that, when our attacking players press and defend, then the entire team pulls together and we can be successful,"
"With his performances, it would seem like a shoo-in that Sané has firmly thrust himself into the mix for a starting role, not just a roster spot. However, Kimmich makes a great point aside of his support for Sané, with Germany needed everyone to play ends of the pitch in unison. If Germany can do that, maybe - just maybe - it can push itself into being a true contender for the World Cup."
Joshua Kimmich praised Leroy Sané's exceptional physical strength and ability to sprint repeatedly while maintaining intensity every three days. Sané returned to Die Mannschaft with two goals and two assists across wins over Luxembourg and Slovakia, showing both scoring and creative impact. Kimmich highlighted Sané's defensive contribution through diligent counter-pressing when mentally ready, and emphasized collective pressing by attacking players such as Flo Wirtz. Sané's performances have elevated his chances for a starting role. Germany requires coordinated play across both ends of the pitch to become a genuine World Cup contender.
