Joshua Kimmich on Germany’s 3-3 draw against England: “We were too passive.”

Joshua Kimmich was disappointed that Germany conceded three goals in quick succession after taking a 2-0 lead after 67 minutes. The 27-year-old spoke to press after their 3-3 draw against England.

“We were in control and deserved to be ahead,” said Kimmich. “England were simply just waiting for chances on the break. We were too passive after going 2-0 up, defended too deep and didn’t play with enough bravery without the ball. We’ve got six weeks now to get into our groove and then we’ll go for it.”
