Deniz Undav is 29 years old. He plays as a forward for Germany. He scored 3 goals at the 2026 World Cup. He did that in only 56 minutes.
Many people thought: He starts against Ecuador. But coach Julian Nagelsmann says no. Undav stays in a 'joker' role. A 'joker' is a substitute player. He comes into the game later.
The team must play better together. Nagelsmann changes only a few things. Only 2 players take a break. They have an injury. These players are Nathaniel Brown and Nico Schlotterbeck.
David Raum and Antonio Rüdiger play for them. Deniz Undav accepts his role. He says: The team win is important. He agrees with the coach.
Jürgen Klopp likes Undav. He searched for him on the internet. He did not know: Is Undav German? Now Klopp is a big fan.
Germany won the last game against the Ivory Coast. The team is now in the 'K.O-Phase'. If you lose there, you leave the tournament.
