Under Vincent Kompany's expansive possession-based style of football Kimmich will play to his strengths as a deep-lying orchestrator or an advanced playmaker higher up the pitch depending on the flow of the game. The fact that the Bavarian side loaned out it's only true midfield defensive specialist- João Palhinha to Tottenham, with an option to buy, is a clear reminder that Kompany's system is based on the high-line defense with pressing and counter-pressing to maximise possession and chance creation.
