It's very obvious that Kimmich is the main point of buildup whenever he plays, but it also opens up such easy counterplay that simply wasn't there in the Dortmund game

All you have to do is press Kimmich, he will find a solution 98/100 times, but the 2 times he doesn't you get a big chance (or a red like vs Darmstadt)

Idk how to fix it, not even a real #6 would help here, maybe he has to drop even further (Alonso style) to sit between the 2 CBs and have the coverage there

Its why so many teams run double pivots. Even Rodri runs in a double pivot. Modern DM is just too complicated and important to be done by a single player now.

Rodeo is big, strong and skillful. Even if you can match him physically, it is hard to take the ball away from him.

The only player I've seen him really struggle with is Kane, mostly because Kane is as big and stronger and pretty clever
