Guirassy struggling? Former Dortmund chief sets the record straight | OneFootball

Serhou Guirassy is currently without a goal in the Bundesliga. However, a former BVB boss does not see this as a crisis and hopes for a strong performance in the top match against FC Bayern.

Borussia Dortmund's striker Serhou Guirassy has not been able to maintain his strong scoring rate in recent Bundesliga games. In the first four competitive matches of the season, the 29-year-old scored at least one goal per game, but then went goalless in the matches against Juventus, Wolfsburg, and Leipzig. Guirassy also had to pause due to an injury against Mainz.

Despite this goal drought, Sven Mislintat, who was the Technical Director at BVB until February, does not speak of a form crisis. In an interview with Sky, he emphasized: “Because he is the player who has often made the difference in very important games and always puts himself at the service of the team.” Mislintat also praises Guirassy's contribution to the build-up play, such as his assist for Yan Couto against Leipzig.

The experienced scout further explains that Dortmund's offensive approach is not as dominant as it used to be, which limits the opportunities for Guirassy: “There are more situations where Serhou cannot be brought into position when the opponents stand very deep.” Nevertheless, this is no cause for concern: “This has nothing to do with a dip. Borussia Dortmund will solve this collectively.”

Mislintat sees BVB with chances against Bayern

Next Wednesday, BVB faces a decisive match against league leaders FC Bayern. Despite being clear underdogs, Mislintat believes in Dortmund's chances: “If there is a team that has a chance, it is Dortmund at the moment.”

Since his departure from BVB in February, the 52-year-old has been looking for new opportunities in the football business. The native of Kamen wants to continue contributing his experience and network, but currently has no concrete offers. “Of course, you keep track of things, but to be honest: There is no contact with anyone at this point,” said Mislintat.

He is currently enjoying his free time, reflecting, and planning his next steps: “I enjoy developing something over a longer period,” he recalls his time at VfB Stuttgart, where he worked as a sporting director for over three years.
