Joshua Kimmich polarizes audiences through his playing style and strong ambition. His relentless desire to win can be perceived by many as arrogance or excessive ambition. He openly expresses opinions and does not seek to be above reproach. He consistently strives to perform at his best and give maximum effort. He can irritate some observers, yet his contributions to Bayern Munich and the Germany national team are widely regarded as indispensable. He currently serves as Germany's captain and is viewed as the likely future captain of Bayern Munich. He accepts scrutiny to shield teammates from criticism.
He is a player who polarizes, both through his style and his ambition. Ambition is something that not everyone finds particularly sympathetic. If you are someone who always wants to win and embodies that very much, many people interpret that as arrogant or too ambitious. He is someone who has an opinion and makes it known. I don't think you necessarily have to be above reproach. You have to try to always do your best and give it your all,
Kimmich definitely can rub people the wrong way, but his value to both Bayern Munich and Germany is unquestionable at this point. As captain for Germany (and the future captain for Bayern Munich), Kimmich is more than willing to take on the heat, rather than expose his teammates to it.
