A goal contribution every 11 minutes - Should Deniz Undav start for Germany at the upcoming international tournaments?
TORONTO -- Germany came from behind to defeat Ivory Coast 2-1, thanks to a late winner from substitute Deniz Undav. The Stuttgart striker equalized in the 68th minute, eight minutes after replacing Jamal Musiala, and then scored the decisive goal in the fourth minute of injury time.
Undav's impressive performance has sparked debate about his role in the team, with many fans calling for him to start. His record speaks for itself, having scored every 56 minutes at the tournament and contributed a goal every 11 minutes.
Midfielder Nadiem Amiri praised Undav, saying, "He is incredible. A killer in front of goal." Coach Julian Nagelsmann faces a dilemma, weighing the benefits of starting Undav against the success he has had as a substitute. Undav himself appears comfortable with his current role, saying, "It is important that everyone in the team can see that the players from the bench can decide games."
With five goal contributions from the bench, Undav is closing in on Roger Milla's record of six, set at the 1990 World Cup. However, Nagelsmann's decision on whether to start him in the next game against Ecuador could determine whether he breaks the record.
