At Roazhon Park,

He knew he was expected and he responded perfectly.

Taking advantage of the cascading injuries in the Rennes camp, Serhou Guirassy was lined up from the start by Bruno Genesio this Sunday afternoon against Troyes.

A small event for the Rennes striker who had not been established in Ligue 1 since the trip to Marseille on September 19.

Since then, Sehrou Guirassy, ​​helmed by the Laborde-Terrier duo, has done a lot of benching, being content with crumbs in the league.

Out of confidence, despite three goals anyway in the Europa Conference League, the former Amiénois even seemed to have hit rock bottom in early January by eating the sheet several times during the defeat against Nancy in the Coupe de France.

"I was disgusted after this match but it's football, you can't take all your chances", he said this Sunday afternoon after the great success of the Rennais against Troyes.

Mocked for his lack of efficiency, Sehrou Guirassy could have given up.

“But I am sure of my qualities and so I took refuge in work,” he assured.

Twelve goals each for the Lagborde-Terrier duo

It paid off this Sunday against a double slammed in just twenty minutes for the slender striker.

At the quarter of an hour of play, Guirassy, ​​a real fox of the surfaces, first opened the scoring by taking over a ball repelled by the Trojan goalkeeper Gauthier Gallon.

“I really liked this first goal, a real center-forward goal,” reacted his coach Bruno Genesio in the post-match conference.

Five minutes later, the Rennes striker doubled the lead by taking a header from a superb cross from Meling, scoring his 4th and 5th goals this season in the league.

“It's good for his confidence,” said Bruno Genesio, praising his player's irreproachable state of mind.

"It's normal to be frustrated when you're not playing," he said.

He suffered from it but he never complained in public and he continued to work to be ready”.

In the second half, his attacking comrades Laborde and Terrier also scored, thus continuing their mano to mano with twelve goals each.

After this big victory, a specialty of Rennes at home, the Breton club got back into the race for Europe and recovered its 5th place.

"But when you see the gaps, the positions can change every week," said the Rennes coach.
