Deniz Undav: From Rejection to Redemption as Stuttgart Defeats Werder 2-0

It would be better if they hadn’t chased him out of the yard…

Deniz Undav (27) shoots Stuttgart to victory in a 2-0 win against Werder. The currently best German striker with eight goals had to leave the Green-Whites because, according to Werder’s assessment, he was too short and fat in his youth.

Undav, born southeast of Bremen, in BILD: “It was very bad at the time because I went to Werder with the goal of becoming a professional there. My whole family expected this from me. I was devastated.” He even wanted to stop playing football.

Undav after the end of the game on Sky: “I was a little boy back then. You should never have a grudge against your former club. It was just a decision from the U15 coach.”

Goal revenge after twelve years.

17th minute: Goalkeeper Zetterer high-fives Anton’s shot from 18 meters. Undav is faster than Veljkovic and slides the ball into the net to make it 1-0.

Werder’s professional boss Clemens Fritz recently said about Undav: “When you get a message like that that you have to leave the performance center and then go down this path, push through and don’t lose faith in yourself – I really respect that. “

Super-Deniz was in the starting line-up for the first time together with goal machine Serhou Guirassy (17 goals). The storm duo and the strong Silas take Werder apart almost alone. Guirassy scores with a penalty to make it 2-0 (74th).

Coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “We lacked the killer mentality in the first half.”

With ten wins after 13 Bundesliga matchdays, Hoeneß equals Felix Magath’s club record from the 2003/04 season. The next three games are against Dortmund (cup round of 16), Leverkusen and Bayern.

And Werder?

Gets one point from six away games and only one win in the last eight league games. The new number one Michael Zetterer makes a mistake before 0:1. We now have to win against Augsburg.
