After 5 goals in 3 RL games
Only bottom FC Ingolstadt (23 goals) and second-bottom Erzgebirge Aue (24 goals) have scored fewer goals than Hannover 96 (25 goals) in the current Bundesliga 2 season. The longing for an offensive force with goalscoring qualities is correspondingly high in Lower Saxony and has been one of the dominant themes since the start of the season. After the commitment of center forward Cedric Teuchert (since 2 goals) and another offensive transfer in winter reportedly failed, an internal solution could now open up with Moussa Doumbouya in the final sprint to stay up in the league.

At least the goal quota of the 24-year-old, who has scored five goals in the last three games of the Regionalliga-Nord final round and who also has nine other goals in the course of the season for the second representation, is currently raising hopes around the club. “He deserves to take part in professional training again,” summed up coach Christoph Dabrowski and, for the first time in a long time, called the Guinean to the training sessions of the first team due to his “stable performance and above all his good goal quota” during the week. The attacker, who was put on a leash from MTVE Celle in 2019, was last able to prove himself there last year when he made seven short second-division appearances under Kenan Kocak in the 2020/21 season, in which he even scored one against Greuther Fürth, who was later promoted hit succeeded. However, after Kocak switched to Jan Zimmermann, Doumbouya was no longer given a chance to play and get a professional contract.

His advisor Altin Lala also wishes that this could open up again around three months before the contract expires for the player who is free in the summer: “I hope that Moussa will still have the chance at 96 to show what he’s got.” the 96 icon on Friday in the newspaper “New pressquoted. The 46-year-old described Dabrowski’s predecessors Kocak and Zimmermann in the newspaper as “two Easter bunnies” who did not recognize Doumbouya’s talent.
Hannover’s U23 coach Fuchs on Doumbouya: “Instinct and fun footballer”
In training during the week, the right footer “made a good impression, was fully integrated,” said Dabrowski on Thursday. The coach initially left open whether Doumbouya will be part of the 96 squad in the first of three consecutive relegation duels (Regensburg, Aue, Düsseldorf) on Saturday and possibly collect his first minutes of action since May 2021: “It was motivation enough for him to be in to take part in training with the pros this week. (…) Let’s see how things look towards the weekend. I haven’t decided on the squad yet.”
Doumbouya contributed three goals in the 4-4 draw against Teutonia Ottensen last Sunday. “Moussa is an instinctive and fun footballer. He doesn’t dribble ten players out of you – but he scores goals,” says Dabrowski’s successor at the U23s, Lars Fuchs, classifying the qualities of the 1.88 meter tall striker in the “NP”. After the disappointment of missing the leap to the pros last summer, the player is now “clear in his head again”. If he keeps his latest quota, the attacker, who can be had for free in the summer, should not only arouse desires at 96.
