Vikash Dhorasoo Shown the Door at PSG

By: Bob | October 11th, 2006

It is not very often the case that you see a player who played in the World Cup sacked by a club in the same year, but that has, indeed, happened to France midfielder-cum-film director Vikash Dhorasoo.

Dhorasoo, who turned 33 yesterday, received a belated birthday present when he learned that his contract with Paris St Germain has been terminated after he publicly questioned the brain capacity of coach Guy Lacombe and called him a liar. It is never really the smartest of moves to call your boss a liar in the newspapers but Dhorasoo has never been known as the sharpest tool in the shed.

This is the first time since a charter regulating French professional soccer was introduced in 1973 that a French player has been fired by a French club.

I can’t imagine too many teams knocking on Dhorasoo’s door now that he has alienated both his club and national team coaches. This should give him plenty of time to work on his documentary about Les Bleus so that he can officially become persona non grata in France.

That's a real shame, it is. I sparsley saw him play, but the highlights I've seen of him were awesome: a small midfielder who played like a lion. He even scored the game winner for PSG in the Coupe de France Final against arch-rivals Marseille last season. He was definitely a good role model for the Indian community (I'm half-Indian) because there are very little amount of Indian footballers in the world today, and he sets the highest standard for promising Asian youngsters who want to make it big in the big leagues. What he did was unprofessional and uncalled for. It sucks to not have playing time, and I can empathize, even I also criticized my high school coach to my friends, but I never got that upset that I started to whine and complain everyday. I just waited my turn. If I were him in a situation where I couldn't play because of the coach's decision, I would ask the club to buy out my contract during the winter term and find a club that really wants me in their starting XI.
