Guinea U23 lost 0-3 to the United States U23 in the recent Olympic men’s football group stage, finishing bottom of the group and eliminated.
The most eye-catching player for Guinea in this Olympics is undoubtedly Naby Keita, who served as the flag-bearer. Due to injuries last season, he missed most of the games, and in April of this year, he completely fell out with the club over playing time issues, resulting in the Bremen team suspending and fining him. As a result, he only played 5 games for Bremen last season, totaling only 107 minutes.
However, as an overage player in this Olympic men’s football tournament, he seems to have been rejuvenated. He played 87 minutes in the opening match against New Zealand, 77 minutes against France, and played the full 90 minutes in the final group stage game, totaling 164 minutes of playing time – already exceeding his total playing time for Bremen last season.
The relationship between Keita and Bremen seems irreparable, and his future remains uncertain.
