Pascal Groß: BVB-Star takes on leadership role in the DFB team
In football, talent, speed and technology are often talked about, but leadership and responsibility are also decisive factors for the success of a team. An example of this is currently evident at BVB, where a new addition has received remarkable promotion in the shortest possible time.
Pascal Groß, who only switched to Borussia Dortmund almost a month ago, has already established himself as one of the central players in the Nuri Sahin team. At 33, he not only has experience, but also a certain natural authority that is needed in the team.
promotion to the DFB team council
As national coach Julian Nagelsmann announced on September 2, Groß is now moving up to the team council of the German national team. This promotion is a great honor for the footballer, who has recently become part of the national team. In his eight international matches so far, he has already earned a goal.
The advancement of Groß to the team council is part of the restructuring of the national team after the home European Championship. Nagelsmann was forced to establish a new hierarchy because four long-time leaders such as İlkay Gündoğan and Manuel Neuer ended their careers in the DFB team. In addition to Pascal Groß, Joshua Kimmich, Antonio Rüdiger, Kai Havertz and some other players were also included in the new team council.
The new captains
Another important step in this restructuring is the appointment of Joshua Kimmich as the new captain of the national team. Nagelsmann explained that Kimmich was the logical candidate for this important role. His tireless training mentality and role model function make him the ideal leader for the team.
Nagelsmann also emphasizes that the new hierarchy in the DFB team works well. The combination of experienced players and aspiring talents should help the team to be successful in the future. With Kimmich, Rüdiger and Havertz as a deputy, Nagelsmann has formed a strong leadership group to share the responsibility on the square and offside.
The DFB team has thus on an exciting path to a new era. With fresh impulses and a clear management structure, the team could reach new heights in the coming months and years. Pascal Groß 'promotion shows impressively that great successes are also possible late in football.
