Dortmund: Serhou Guirassy’s sparkling debut is good news for Guinea
Serhou Guirassy has shone in his first matches with Borussia Dortmund, a performance that reassures not only the supporters of the German team, but also those of the Syli National of Guinea, in search of a revival in the CAN 2025 qualifiers.
Guirassy impresses from his first steps in Dortmund
At 28, Serhou Guirassy has quickly adapted to the demands of Borussia Dortmund. Recruited this summer from VfB Stuttgart, he already has impressive statistics: 6 goals in 5 games with the Yellow and Black. After an injury upon his arrival, the Guinean international quickly returned to the field and distinguished himself by becoming a major offensive asset.
A striker in top form
With his remarkable performances, including a double in the Champions League against Celtic Glasgow (7-1 victory), Guirassy shows that he is a real asset to his team. Since his arrival, he has scored goals, including 5 in his last 4 appearances , proving that he is in great shape. His coach, Nuri Sahin, does not hide his admiration: “It is for evenings like these that we recruited him,” he declared after the match against Bochum where Guirassy also shone.
A boon for Guinea in the CAN 2025 qualifiers
As Guinea struggles to qualify for the 2025 CAN, Serhou Guirassy’s return to form comes at just the right time. The Syli National, beaten by the DRC and Tanzania in the first two days, has not yet scored a point in Group H. To boost his chances, Michel Dussuyer, recalled to head the selection, is counting on the return of Guirassy, absent during the last gathering due to injury.
A crucial calendar for Guinea
Guinea will face Ethiopia in a decisive double confrontation on October 12 and 15 at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Ebimpé. With Guirassy in great form, Guinea hopes to turn the situation around and secure a place for the next Africa Cup of Nations.
Conclusion
Serhou Guirassy’s flamboyant debut with Borussia Dortmund is great news for Guinea as they look to revive their fortunes in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. His efficiency in front of goal and his rise in the Bundesliga could be key factors in giving hope to a struggling Guinean side.
