“I don’t think that Ondua’s problems in Hannover are connected with his attitude towards Russia” – Grishin

Former CSKA midfielder Alexander Grishin shared his opinion on the situation with Hannover defender Gael Ondua.

Earlier in March, information appeared that the German club intends to terminate the contract with the 27-year-old footballer.

– I do not think that this is due to his attitude towards Russia. Most likely, this was influenced by game aspects. If the player is strong, then the coach will not put him on the bench for some reason. He played two games in just a year, where he came on as a substitute. And that was before his interview. It is likely that he simply lost the competition to other players, RT Grishin quotes.

The midfielder was born in Cameroon, but is a graduate of the Lokomotiv Academy. Previously, he played at the 2022 World Cup as part of the Cameroon national team in boots with the Russian flag.

In the current season of the second German Bundesliga, Ondua has played in two matches. The midfielder appeared on the field in 27 games last season.
