Yoane Wissa continues to dazzle football fans with his exceptional performances on the Premier League pitch. The talented Brentford striker shone once again on Saturday 9th November by scoring a magnificent double against Bournemouth. This remarkable performance is a testament to his class and his ability to make a difference at the highest level.
Since January, Wissa has scored no fewer than 15 Premier League goals, a performance that places him among the top scorers in the championship. His impact on Brentford’s game is undeniable, with 7 goals scored in the last 5 home games, not to mention 1 assist. His speed, his eye for goal and his ability to find space make him a formidable player for opposing defenses.
As supporters of the Democratic Republic of Congo eagerly await the return of Yoane Wissa to the national team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, expectations are immense. Yamoussoukro and Kinshasa are ready to welcome him warmly, in the hope of seeing him repeat his exploits with Brentford.
However, despite his immense talent with his English club, Wissa faces a major challenge with the Leopards. The style of play in the national team differs from that of Brentford, which requires him to adapt quickly. Positioned on the left side in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, his role is more defensive and less focused on finishing.
Sébastien Desabre, the Leopards coach, has highlighted this difference in roles between Wissa at club and national team. While the player shines in the Premier League as a center forward, his role in the national team is more versatile, requiring both offensive and defensive tasks.
In a context where expectations around him are becoming increasingly high, Yoane Wissa finds himself facing a major challenge. With only 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 games this year for the national team, he must prove his worth and confirm his status as a key player for the Leopards in the upcoming matches.
The long-awaited duel against Guinea and Ethiopia represents an opportunity for Wissa to show the full extent of his talent. Against quality opponents, he will have to find the right balance between his role at club and national team to be decisive on the pitch.
In conclusion, Yoane Wissa embodies the success and determination of a player on the rise. His exceptional career with Brentford and the challenges that await him in the national team make him a talent to follow closely. Congolese supporters are already dreaming of seeing him shine on the international stage and take him to new heights.
