“I’ll still catch Kane!” - Undav jokes after 5-2 win over Augsburg | OneFootball

After a mixed week, VfB Stuttgart responded in style away at FC Augsburg - and Deniz Undav summed it up with honesty, humor, and a glance toward the national team.

Undav made it clear Stuttgart had a point to prove: “It wasn’t a perfect week. We wanted to show a reaction today - and we did that.” He praised the attacking display but admitted there was a dip: “It was a good game offensively, but we took our foot off the gas in a typical way, which made it unnecessarily tense for a while.”

On his striker’s instinct, Undav said: “As a striker, I speculate a lot. The important thing is to be there at the right moment and stay calm - that worked well for me today.”

There was even time for a joke about Harry Kane: “I’ll still catch Kane! I managed to make up one goal on him this matchday,” he laughed.

Asked about his approach to the Germany national football team, Undav kept things light: “I want to be Captain! No, just kidding,” he said with a grin, before adding: “Of course I want to play and show myself as much as possible, but overall I want to fit into the team and enjoy the experience.”

Stuttgart’s statement win in Augsburg was clear - but Undav’s mix of confidence and humor may have been just as memorable.
