Undav, Nagelsmann Trade Swipes After Win

Despite scoring the winning goal for Germany against Ghana, Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav remains a substitute in coach Julian Nagelsmann's eyes, as the two continue their public disagreement.

Julian Nagelsmann acknowledged Deniz Undav's match-winning goal for Germany against Ghana but maintained the Stuttgart striker is only a substitute. "He's welcome to put me under pressure," Nagelsmann stated, noting Undav had limited impact until scoring in the 88th minute as a substitute.

Undav responded by accepting his current role while suggesting it could change with more goals. "I know my role, but my role can change with every goal," the 29-year-old explained, adding he's looking to improve his position with the national team.
