📱 Parents call at the worst moment: Bundesliga star answers fan’s phone | OneFootball

Every young soccer fan knows this moment: After the final whistle in the stadium, pushing against the flow of the crowd to get as close as possible to the edge of the field – ideally with a sign in hand and a victory for their own team behind them. Somehow grabbing attention and, in the best case, snagging a jersey or a selfie with their favorite player.

A young fan of VfB Stuttgart almost achieved this – until a call from his parents threatened to ruin his plans.

As seen in a video on the official VfB Stuttgart X account, striker Deniz Undav took a little time after the final whistle to take photos with the waiting fans. With his goal to make it 3-0 (74th minute), he had contributed to the victory and now apparently wanted to fulfill a few fan requests.

The 29-year-old took the fan's phone, struck a selfie pose, and then furrowed his brow – obviously due to a call coming in at that exact moment.

But instead of handing the phone back, Deniz Undav quickly swiped across the screen himself, held the phone to his ear, and briefly informed the caller – apparently a parent wanting to know how the away trip to the Lower Rhine was going: “I need to take a quick photo with your son.”

And then, amid the loud laughter of the young fans: “See you soon, bye!”

So the fan and the VfB star weren't fazed by the call, and in the end, everything worked out wonderfully – still, parents often seem to have a knack for the most inconvenient moments.
