FC Bayern Munich

Cool chart. It would be nice to see even more breakdown like the length of the pass, where the player was when the pass was made etc.

Yeah yeah I get the point of the chart is to shit on the Kimmich doubters but frankly just like every stat, it does not tell the whole story. I think Kimmich has elite passing and vision but his overall game has weaknesses (beat a defender, positioning, defense etc) that prevents him from being influential the way our past great midfielders have been. He is at the prime age of his career and does he look like a prime Schweinsteiger or Thiago in terms of influence consistently? It is hard to say yes to that at this point. We absolutely need to keep him since there is no better alternatives out there but thinking that this stat somehow negates all the fair questions about his abilities is also comical.
