Undav, Nagelsmann Continue Verbal Sparring

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann and Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav continued their public spat despite the forward scoring the winning goal against Ghana for the national team. Nagelsmann maintained that Undav, who is in excellent club form, remains a substitute for Germany and praised him only for capitalizing on opportunities when opponents are tired.

Undav acknowledged his current role but suggested it could change with each goal he scores. "I know my role, but my role can change with every goal," the 29-year-old said after coming on as a substitute in Germany's 3-4 win against Switzerland. The verbal exchange follows weeks of public debate between the two since Undav's recent call-up to the national team.
