Borussia Dortmund signed an incredibly talented player this summer. Serhu Girassi is one of the most effective forwards in the world right now. The Guinean has scored in four of his six matches, as well as two doubles. He has not slacked off in the national team either. In the African Cup of Nations, the striker scored a hat-trick and then a double against Ethiopia.
St. Pauli are in a difficult situation. Alexander Blessin came to the club and immediately started pushing his philosophy. He forced the players to abandon attempts to play as cautiously as possible, keeping possession. The sudden switch to active pressing and long throws forward made the results much worse.
Borussia Dortmund is particularly strong on their field. All four matches have been won by at least two goals. And St. Pauli didn’t even have a chance to fully prepare for this match.
