From factory floor to World Cup star - Germany's super-sub Undav

Deniz Undav scored Germany's third goal in their 5-1 victory against Scotland on June 14, 2024, marking a significant moment in his international career. This goal came after manager Julian Nagelsmann had publicly criticized Undav's performance in March 2024, stating he needed to "show more" during his club appearances. Undav, who plays for VfB Stuttgart, has since become a vital "super-sub" for the German national team, demonstrating his impact in crucial matches. His goal against Scotland was his first for Germany, coming in his fourth appearance. The striker's resurgence highlights his ability to perform under pressure and overcome previous doubts, contributing to Germany's strong start in the tournament.
