It has been 13 years since Hofnheim completed her wonderful journey from the fourth league to the first appearance in her history in the Bundesliga in the 2007/2008 season. The same team coached by Ralph Rangnick was considered a real sensation when she finished her seventh season, but no less sensational that she survived all those years in the first league, especially the last seasons under Julian Nagelsman, who finished twice with a place in the first quarter.
Wrangnick not long ago at Hoffenheim, Nagelsman left Red Bull Leipzig this season, and on the bench is Dutchman Alfred Schroeder who was a team coach on the days of Nagelsman and Hove Stevens, and in the past season served as assistant to Eric Ten Brother in Ajax. As you can understand from this resume, under Schroeder Hofnheim is playing offensive and open football, absorbing quite a bit, and changing lineups frequently. At the beginning of the season she played with one goal scorer, later moved on to two, and in the last few cycles she kept 4: 3: 3 with two wing players and one central striker.

As it seems, Dabor may enjoy this game method and get a lot of minutes to play. On the team’s pioneers list you will find Croatian Andrei Kramrich who returned from injury in October and has since scored five league goals, with his replacement being Armenian Sergis Adamian who has contributed four so far. Dutch Jurgen Lucadia and Ilas Bo Bo Togo are also in rotation, but are more active in the wings.
Hoffenheim's style of play was intended to benefit the attacking players, but an injury to Ishak Belfodil Algerian disrupted the plans, leaving the team without any real gold. With 25 goals in 17 cycles, Hoffenheim is clearly not exhausting her offensive potential, and this is exactly where Debor is supposed to be in the picture.
This season did not open well in terms of Hoffenheim. She won only once in the first six cycles, but has since stabilized. Between October and November, she ran five consecutive wins, starting with a 1: 2 victory over Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena, and followed with a 1: 2 victory over Borussia Dortmund and seventh and three points from the first quarter. The Cup went through Duisburg and arranged an out-of-state encounter with Bayern Munich in the eighth in February. Her goals this season are to get a ticket to Europe and succeed in the Cup, and Dabour's signature - the most expensive purchase in her history - certainly shows seriousness.

Hoffenheim is a young team at the top of German football and certainly less flashy than Seville, but she can give Dabour what he couldn't find in Ramon Sanchez's Pichuan at Jolene Luftgi. The German Bundesliga is reminiscent of the Australian Bundesliga in terms of game averages and offensive approach, very different from the Spanish league which has become very tactical in recent years.
Also, Davor lands in a group that has proven itself as one that can improve pioneers and sell them for more money. In recent years, players such as Joelinton, Sandro Wagner, Kevin Polland, Dad Ibishevich, Anthony Modest, and of course Roberto Firmino have moved on. If Davor succeeds in joining this list, it will be a huge success for him and the team.
