Playing for the underage NTs and playing for BM are 2 different things. There is a reason why Thiago is our No6 when Alonso is not on the pitch, and not Kimmich.Maybe we have a different understanding about the term DLP. I should have said “DM” to avoid any confusion. He doesn’t play in this role for us, but he has the skill-set. He was always great in the U-national teams next to Can in precisely this role. He also switched between DM and CM for RB. Quite weird to say that he can’t play in this role to say the least. Thiago on the other side will never be good enough to make this position his own. He is lost, if he can’t make the CM or AM his own.
He simply lacks the passing range to act as such for an elite team. Kimmich's abilities are much better utilized in a B2B role or as a RB, and that is exactly where he gets to play.
