A hat-trick from Serhou Guirassy in Ligue 1, when he was still playing for Rennes, would have already been a small event. Now in the Bundesliga, under the colors of Stuttgart, which occupies the leading roles in the standings at the start of the season, he is already two hat-tricks away. The latest was this Saturday, October 7, against Wolfsburg (3-1), to give his team victory and the provisional lead in the championship. And this, in a quarter of an hour top time, while his team was trailing at the hour mark.
A sixth success in seven games for Stuttgart, the best start to the season in the club’s history with 18 points on the clock, to which the Guinean is far from being a stranger. “ It’s incredible. I really enjoy playing here, with these supporters. I love Stuttgart. We must remain humble as we are at the moment. You can’t imagine how much I loved the second half », Commented the attacker on Sky’s microphone, after the meeting.
It’s simple, he defies all statistics: 13 goals in seven matches played. He occupies the throne of top European scorer, by far, ahead of Lautaro Martinez (10 goals in the championships with Inter Milan). All after scoring only 25 goals in 81 matches under the colors of his former Breton club.
“ There is always room for improvement, but I feel good. Not 100%, but it’s difficult to be 100% when you’re a player », Commented Guirassy, with a touch of mischief. By way of comparison with last season, the two top scorers in the Bundesliga, the German Niclas Füllkrug (Werder Bremen) and the French Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig) stopped at 16 goals over the entire season.
