Undav has no issues with Nagelsmann after Germany role debate
Germany's Deniz Undav celebrates alongside the DFB mascot Paule after the International Friendly soccer match between Germany and Ghana at MHP Arena. Tom Weller/dpa VfB Stuttgart forward Deniz Undav said he has no issues with Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann following the debate over his role in the national team. "I talked to the national team coach the day after.
We've cleared up everything," Undav told broadcaster ZDF in the Sportstudio TV show. "I'm relaxed. I know how to handle this, so everything is fine between Mr Nagelsmann and me.
" "I'm going to give it my all so I can be there (at the World Cup). We're a team, we're a nation - whether I play for one minute or 90 minutes, I'll always give it my all and try to help the team. " Undav scored the winner in the 2-1 victory against Ghana last Monday in a World Cup tune-up match.
He has scored four goals in seven games for Germany, but Nagelsmann is not planning to grant him a position in the starting line-up for the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer. Nagelsmann stressed that players have already been clearly communicated about which role they will each play at the tournament and said that it's "rather unlikely" for Undav to go from a substitute to a starter.
