After a challenging start, Euloge Placca, the Togolese striker who joined Servette Geneva in August, has finally found the net for his new club. It took him nine matches to break through and score. Placca initially secured a spot in the starting lineup during the first three matches but lost his position due to a perceived lack of effectiveness.
The team, too, experienced a period of inefficiency, coinciding with Placca’s struggles. However, Servette Geneva has since regained their form, implementing tactical changes that led to improved performances. Despite these positive changes, Placca found himself on the bench.
In a match against Bienne this Sunday, Placca seized the opportunity to make an impact. Coming off the bench in the 84th minute, the Togolese striker, who was the top scorer of the 2011-2012 Togo championship with 19 goals, scored Servette Geneva’s third goal in a 3-1 victory. This breakthrough is likely to boost Placca’s confidence and provide a positive turn in his adaptation to his new environment.
