Ex-Red Star Player Douglas Awousu Shines for Hapoel Tel Aviv

Douglas Awousu, a recent acquisition by Hapoel Tel Aviv, made a significant impact in their recent 3-0 victory over Beitar Jerusalem at Bloomfield Stadium. Awousu, described as an intriguing signing by manager Eliniv Barda, scored a notable goal and energized the team's supporters.

His performance has garnered attention internationally, with Serbian media highlighting his success. Meridian Sport reported that Awousu "did it with style," noting his brilliant play and contrasting it with his limited opportunities at Red Star Belgrade. The publication recalled that coach Dejan Stankovic decided to let Awousu go after only a few appearances, making his debut goal in Israel particularly noteworthy.

The Serbian report further analyzed the player exchange between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Red Star Belgrade, stating that Awousu arrived as a replacement for Luizinho, who moved to Red Star. Luizinho has reportedly not impressed thus far, and his time is running out, mirroring Awousu's situation at his former club.

Sportklub also commented on Awousu's departure from Red Star, mentioning he was expected to be a key player but was quickly released by Stankovic. However, the club managed to recoup their initial investment, selling Awousu for the same €2.2 million they paid for him.
