The head coach reiterated a comparison he had touched upon recently, highlighting how Gross seems to be getting better as he enters the twilight of his career. &#8220;We spoke about Pascal Gross and I said, I think in my last press conference, that you can compare him a little bit with a good wine. The older he gets, the better he is,&#8221; Hurzeler told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>The manager was keen to stress that the midfielder&#8217;s influence is felt most keenly in the way he conducts himself during the working week, setting an example for the younger members of the squad. &#8220;He\u2019s not only a player who makes his team-mates better, he\u2019s not only a player who really understands the game so well. I think the things you can\u2019t measure are the things we see in the daily business and on the training ground,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking to the media following the demolition of Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side, Hurzeler was effusive in his praise for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4026,57731,172509,85,46,281100,2619,105],"class_list":["post-621992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-arsenal","tag-brighton-hove-albion","tag-f-hurzeler","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-p-gross","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
