Hansi Flick is planning to give Joshua Kimmich the role of an inverted right-back. Flick got the idea of Kimmich's new role from Pep Guardiola. During the internal meeting at the team hotel, Flick showed his players videos of Manchester City to explain the new tactics and philosophy, mainly videos of John Stones. On the ball, Kimmich is to move inside to central areas to link defense and attack. Without the ball, he acts as a right-back in a back 4.
