Young Fan’s Encounter with VfB Stuttgart Player Brightened by a Surprise Phone Call

A Memorable Moment at the Stadium

Every young soccer enthusiast is familiar with this thrilling scenario: after the final whistle, they navigate through the exiting crowd, hoping to get as close as possible to the pitch—preferably with a sign in hand and their team’s victory to celebrate. The goal is to capture the attention of their favorite player, ideally securing a jersey or a selfie.

A Fan’s Aspirations Almost Derailed

A young supporter of VfB Stuttgart came close to achieving this dream when a phone call from their parents nearly disrupted their plans.

Post-Game Interaction with Deniz Undav

In a video shared on the official VfB Stuttgart X account, striker Deniz Undav took a moment after the match to interact with fans who were waiting eagerly. Having scored a goal that contributed to a 3-0 victory during the 74th minute, he seemed keen to accommodate several fan requests.

An Unexpected Twist

The 29-year-old player decided to take the young fan’s phone for a selfie. Just as they posed, he glanced at the phone with a furrowed brow, noticing an incoming call at that moment.

Instead of returning the phone immediately, Deniz swiped the screen, held the device to his ear, and addressed the caller—who turned out to be a parent curious about how their child’s trip to watch the match was going: “I just need to take a quick photo with your son.”

A Lighthearted Goodbye

Amid the laughter from the gathered fans, Deniz cheerfully concluded the call with a friendly, “See you soon, bye!”

A Happy Ending

Ultimately, both the fan and the VfB Stuttgart player remained unfazed by the phone call, and the encounter concluded on a positive note. Yet, this incident highlights how parents often seem to have a knack for interrupting at the most inconvenient times.
