The day after the 2024 Ballon d’Or was awarded, Serhou Guirassy reacted following his defeat, but also to the provocation of an Internet user.
Unhappy finalist for the 2024 African Ballon d’Or against overall winner Ademola Lookman (Nigeria, Atalanta), l’international Guinean Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund) expressed his reaction this Tuesday via his official X account.
“Dear brothers and sisters, even if the African Ballon d’Or was not awarded to me this year, that in no way takes away the pride I feel in having worn the colors of our dear Guinea high. Above all, I would like to thank you, family, teammates, coaches, friends, you, my people, for your unfailing support and trust. Your love, your strength and your solidarity carry me every day. I am convinced that this unity and this fraternity must be preserved and maintained, in all circumstances. Together we can accomplish great things. This is just the beginning. I will continue to give the best of myself, for you, for our country, and to inspire all young Guineans who dream big. Thanks again for everything. »
“We need to review education”, Guirassy reframes an Internet user
An outing marked by fair play, resilience and surpassing oneself. But which did not find a favorable response from an Internet user, who judged the moment to be a good time to throw a chill with a comment intended to rub salt in the wound:
“But you don’t deserve it wesh c koi ça (understand “what is that?”)”
A provocation immediately calling for the response of the shepherd to the shepherdess:
“Lol (understand laughing) and where is the connection? We would love to interact with you but you make no effort. So we’re just blocking you. Since you’re not winning, can’t you be grateful? (It) Education must be reviewed. »
Overtaken at the Ballon d’Or, Guirassy was also not acclaimed in the African eleven of the year. And this, despite his remarkable statistics both for club and with the selection. Which makes him one of the big losers of the evening of CAF Awards 2024.
