Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann maintains that Deniz Undav is a substitute despite the Stuttgart striker scoring the winner against Ghana. Nagelsmann noted that Undav was largely anonymous before his 88th-minute goal, coming on as a second-half substitute.
Undav responded by accepting his current role but suggested it could change with more goals. 'I know my role, but my role can change with every goal,' the 29-year-old stated. The verbal exchange continued despite Germany's successful international break.
