Undav Eyes Fresh Start Under New Coach Klopp

Germany striker Deniz Undav expressed optimism about the arrival of new national team coach Jürgen Klopp, anticipating a significant 'boost' for the squad. Undav noted the fresh energy Klopp's appointment brings, emphasizing that every player must re-establish their position.

Undav, currently with VfB Stuttgart, shared his perspective from the team's training camp in Bavaria. He compared the managerial change at the national level to similar transitions within clubs, highlighting his desire to remain a part of the national team under Klopp's guidance.

The upcoming schedule includes four Nations League matches from September 24 to October 4 against the Netherlands, Serbia, and Greece (twice). These games will be Klopp's first as head coach, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann.

Undav, who made a notable impact as a substitute in the World Cup with three goals and two assists, acknowledged that the team's lineup might differ from the previous coaching era. He is focused on performing to earn his place in the squad.

Reflecting on the World Cup, Undav mentioned it took him about a week to overcome the disappointment of the team's exit on penalties against Paraguay in the first knockout match. He detailed going through various scenarios mentally before being able to shift focus to his holiday.
