I'm even surprised by the question. From the outside, people think I'm shy, that I don't talk much. It's probably because I've spoken publicly about my stutter. But people who know me will tell you. I can talk, of course. It's impossible to play for Bayern without talking. Otherwise, my teammates will say to me, 'You're a center-back and you can't even say, 'Is the ball coming?' - Kimmich would tell me straight away.
Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs monitoring RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo with interest from top clubs is becoming more concrete, Sky Sports Deutschland reports. The 19-year-old, who has registered three goals and three assists for his club so far this season, made waves last week when he scored less than two minutes into his senior international debut for Germany.
Congatulations to Dayot Upamecano and Michael Olise! FC Bayern's two French internationals booked their ticket for the World Cup finals on Thursday night thanks to France's 4-0 win over Ukraine. The draw for the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico will take place on 5 December. England and Harry Kane, who ended Serbia's hopes with a 2-0 win at Wembley on Thursday, will also be in the draw. Here's our round-up of the international action.
"He really helped me with my positioning, body positioning, how to approach the long balls, and when. We got straight to work from day one. There are very precise body positions to respect. I think I did that well against Paris. We do a lot of video analysis; some sessions last 30-40 minutes. We've become a team, a force," Upamecano told L'Equipe (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Doekhi's brace was extraordinary and particularly, I would like to draw attention to his second goal. The Dutchman was truly at the right place at the right time but most importantly, gave the right reaction. Turning a poorly cleared ball from Harry Kane into a goal, he made it 2-2 for die Eisernen. Five goals so far this season already, that as a defender? This guy is genuinely going places.
