Can Pascal Groß bring back "Winning Times" to Germany?

Hansi Flick has finally called up Brighton's Pascal Groß. The 32-year-old is a creative force and could finally unleash Germany's attack.

This weekend, Germany will return to action with a notable debutant in the squad. In a desperate attempt to rescue his Euro 2024 mission, Bundestrainer Hansi Flick has called up 32-year-old Brighton star Pascal Groß. It is a much-deserved callup that could finally unlock a stale Germany attack.

A scene in the first season of the HBO series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty shows LA Lakers head coach Jack McKinney levitating while drawing up moves for his basketball team. Arrows flow over spreadsheets, showing his teams playing quick, fast basketball. The scene comes just moments after McKinney has told former head coach Jerry West that the Lakers had lacked success not because they didn’t have talent but because their game was too stale and predictable.
