Reverse Engineering Illegal Airbnb Properties - Kimmich discusses the significance of the test matches for a strong commencement to the European Championship.

For Josh Kimmich, the next two games against Ukraine and Greece for the German national team have major importance since he wants to enter the essential kick-off match of the European Championship with a great mindset. "It's all about winning. We really desire to win these two exams to remain in the zone," said the Bayern star on Saturday in Herzogenaurach, anticipating their double victories in March against France (2:0) and the Netherlands (2:1).

Recently, in the past three major tournaments - the 2018 World Cup, the 2021 European Championship, and the 2022 World Cup, the German squad had lost their opening matches. "Our initial game is extremely significant for the mood," mentioned Kimmich about the first group match on June 14 in Munich against Scotland. A negative mindset would return if they don't win the opening match. The German team will face the European Championship participant, Ukraine, on Monday (8:45 p.m./ARD) in Nuremberg. The EM friendly game against the Greek national team is planned for the subsequent Friday in Cologne.
