National player Deniz Undav, in his opinion, reported incorrect criticism of his person and the consequences. He bothered him “that things were suddenly made the problem that were not a problem before,” said the 28-year-old of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung“With a view to a season phase in which it wasn’t going well for him.
Undav, who won the DFB Cup with VfB Stuttgart and plays with Germany with Germany in the Nations League against Portugal (9 p.m./ZDF and DAZN), also gave examples: “The Undav is not running, the Undav is not fast enough, all of this was no other player during this time, I was just as quick or not quick than usual, I was no more than usual.”
The allegations were made on the Internet. “It was said that my body language was not true that I let myself be hanged. Honestly: this is just a gap. The accusation is really nonsense. And it has become more and more, and suddenly Doner Essen was a problem.” Undav explained: “I didn’t eat a kebab at all in the weeks in which I did not meet. I did without chocolate. And instead of four energy drinks a week, I only drank one, the one before the game. But that people think so much.”
The criticism was also a reason for his spring crisis – in the Bundesliga, he had not hit between mid -January and mid -April, and its market value fell from 28 million to 22 million euros. “It is important to me what people think of me, the fans, the teammates, and if everything is good and I am happy, I can be the best possible Deniz. But if you hear such allegations, you can doubt yourself,” said Undav, who came to 19 after 29 goal participations in the pre -season.
