The experts are amazed, the fans are surprised, the football country is looking for explanations. Harry Kane? Serhou Guirassy! The Stuttgart player has already scored 14 goals in the first eight games. Nobody has ever managed that in the Bundesliga before, no Robert Lewandowski, no Gerd Müller, no Niclas Füllkrug. Is this a miracle and how is it possible? Is Guirassy really that good? Why does he, who was already ridiculed in Cologne, only meet at the age of 27? Has this been overlooked so far?
Exactly the right questions for our football podcast He can kick. The two hosts Fabian Scheler and Oliver Fritsch first dissect the strengths of the Guinean-French striker. “He is fast, has a strong shot, has wonderful timing when finishing and can head,” says Fritsch. He also has great self-confidence and “enjoys a run,” says Scheler. “At the moment he could probably shoot from 50 meters and the ball would go in.”
But Guirassy also has weaknesses. Technique and dribbling are not very well developed and cannot be combined well with him. “It has to be served,” says Fritsch. He creates few opportunities for himself alone. “Good, it’s on my note,” Scheler reads out his overall censorship for this player. Therefore, both hosts believe that although Guirassy will continue to score, he will not break any more records.
The main reason why things are going so well lies with his club. “VfB has finally begun to exploit its huge potential again,” says Fritsch. Stuttgart is one of the five major locations in Germany. For some time now, VfB has been relying on the right people again – on and off the pitch. An important personnel decision was the separation of Sven Mislintat, the sports director, who more or less ran VfB alone. “Now there is a team at work in Stuttgart,” says Fritsch, which is good for VfB. And Guirassy is benefiting from the team’s new strength. In football (and in this podcast) it’s all about individual quality, “but you’re nothing alone in this team sport.”
