EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) Nothing less than winning will do.
Germany's quest for a record fourth European title, only two years after winning a fourth World Cup, begins Saturday against Ukraine in Lille.
''We should write a new story and bring the fourth European Championship star to Germany,'' said team manager Oliver Bierhoff, whose golden goal in the 1996 final against the Czech Republic secured a 2-1 win and Germany's last title.
Germany coach Joachim Loew has at his disposal most of the players that won the 2014 World Cup final in Rio de Janeiro. Jonas Hector, a 26-year-old left back, is the only addition to the squad.
