Kimmich: Now the initiative to qualify is in our own hands. It is very important to keep two clean sheets in a row.

October 14th After Germany defeated Northern Ireland 1-0, Kimmich accepted a post-match interview.

He said: "We originally hoped to control the game, but the whole game was actually a 'melee.' In the first half, you came and went, and the rhythm was very fast; in the second half, we controlled the rhythm a little bit, but only for a short time. This was a real tough battle."

"Today is the most important day for our entire team. The important thing is these 3 points. We have completely turned the situation around, and now everything is in our own hands. "

"We didn't concede a goal in the two games, which is also very important. Although the game process was not pretty, if someone told me before the game that we could win two games in a row and keep clean sheets, I would definitely accept it."
