Today, Joshua Kimmich is widely regarded as one of Bayern München's most important players.

However, there was a time when the 24-year-old complained about a lack of first-team action at the Bavarian club.

"Quite frankly, there were times when it was very difficult for me. I wasn't happy with my playing time and considered if Bayern were the only club for me in the world," Kimmich told Die Welt.

According to German media, Kimmich referred to the time under Carlo Ancelotti who was the coach of Bayern between July 2016 and September 2017.
