Deniz Undav broke the World Championship record

 Deniz Undav, who would probably prefer not to set records in this category if it meant playing more often, broke a World Cup record with his second goal as a substitute in Germany's second group game. Both goals mean that the VfB Stuttgart player has already been involved in five goals in two World Cup matches. And this despite the fact that in both matches he played only in the second half, and not from the first minute. Only one player in the history of the World Cup has managed to score that many points as a substitute - and that was a player who played a very long time ago. Roger Milla of Cameroon at the 1990 World Cup was involved in five goals, but also as a substitute. These statistics are incredible, but at the same time you can think about them for a moment. They lead to the question of validity: shouldn't a player like Undav be able to show his skills from the very beginning of the match, and not only at its end? Or maybe coach Julian Nagelsmann has the right idea to use Undav's full potential, but only at the end of matches, and not in the first part? --- ## Related Articles 1.
