Bayern Munich soccer player Joshua Kimich said today that his children saved him from depression after the World Cup in Qatar, where Germany was eliminated after the group stage. Immediately after that failure, which Germany experienced as a sporting humiliation, and the second in four years - since it finished the competition in the first stage in Russia in 2018, Kimich admitted his pain due to "falling into a hole".
"But in the end I didn't fall into a hole, and my three children are responsible for that. It's hard to fall into a hole with them, you have other things to do," Kimich told reporters who are following Bayern this Sunday in winter training in Doha.
The defensive midfielder, who has not played since December 1, like most of the German national team that plays in the Bundesliga, said that he is very motivated to continue the season after this "very long rest". Bayern is the leader of the German championship with four points ahead of Freiburg and six ahead of Leipzig, who will be their first opponent when the season resumes on January 20.
