Fanfare greets Deniz Undav's return, as he carries a mysterious bag according to reports.
The German national squad is all pumped up for the Nations League semi-final against Portugal in good ol' Munich this Wednesday (9 pm/CET). It's like a high school reunion, according to striker Niclas Füllkrug. The camaraderie among Julian Nagelsmann's squad, including a few VfB lads, is off the charts, especially after their cup win. Newbie Nick Woltemade might even get his national team debut, adding to the jovial vibes.
Juicy goss
Deniz Undav has been making headlines again, causing a surge of discussions during the team's arrival. This time, he showed up with a bag from a drugstore chain. The striker recently made waves with a blue bag from a popular furniture store during their last meeting with the national team.
While Undav could afford anything with his million-dollar salary, the bag incident might have been strategically calculated. His adoring fans approve of his laid-back image, praising his authenticity and down-to-earth demeanor. "What an authentic cool guy," reads one Instagram comment, while another gushes, "Not arrogant... down-to-earth and super likable."
