Undav, Nagelsmann Clash Continues After International Break

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann and Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav continue their public disagreement despite Undav's goal against Ghana, with Nagelsmann insisting Undav's role remains that of a substitute.

Despite scoring the winning goal for Germany against Ghana, Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav continues to face criticism from national team coach Julian Nagelsmann. The German coach maintains that Undav's role is limited to substitute, despite the 29-year-old's impressive form with his club.

'He's welcome to put me under pressure with regard to his selection,' Nagelsmann remarked after the match. 'Up until the goal, I didn't consider his performance to be very good.' Undav responded by acknowledging his current role while expressing his desire to improve. 'I know my role, but my role can change with every goal,' the forward stated.
