He had been the hero of the epic in the Coupe de France which had led Chambly to the semi-final on April 17, 2018 against Les Herbiers.
The following season, Chambly's last in the National, Lassana Doucouré had offered his club the rise in Ligue 2 by scoring on the lawn of Concarneau the first of three Camblysian goals of this historic evening of April 19, 2019, his 8th in title staff that year.
The 29-year-old striker has once again brought out his savior costume this November.
If Chambly finally snatched the draw (1-1) against Toulouse, this Saturday in Beauvais during the 11th day of Ligue 2, he owes it to his slender attacker (1.96 m).
It is he, in fact, who equalized (74th) against the relegated from Ligue 1. Fifteen days earlier, before the international break, the same man had already pulled a fine thorn from his foot in Chambly by obtaining the sharing of points (2-2) in Troyes, thus allowing the FCCO to take from the 2 nd in the standings its first point after four consecutive defeats.
Two goals in two very precious days for Chambly, even if the club is still last in the standings with only one victory, and very tasty for Lassana Doucouré.
“In these last two games, we find the face of Chambly, underlines the one who is under contract until 2022. We show that our DNA is still there.

In Troyes, he came into play at the forefront of the attack.
In Caen (0-0), on September 19 during the 4th day, he was left piston in the 3-5-2 adopted that day.
“He's the coach,” smiles Lassana Doucouré, “he knows me by heart.
There might be players who would mind, not me.
I'm used to it.
It can be complicated when you change positions at each match, I have this facility to have these benchmarks.

Benchmarks everywhere on the field, but also a great opportunism which allowed him to take advantage of a scramble in front of Dupé's goals this Saturday to equalize.
