Kalou denies Dhorasoo rift

Monday 5 December, 2005

Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Bonaventure Kalou has poured scorn on rumours that he and teammate Vikash Dhorasoo are at loggerheads.

The two players were recruited in the summer but the idea has gained ground in recent weeks that they are incapable of playing together.

"I have no problem with Vikash," protested the Ivory Coast international. "These are just false problems created by the press.

"The club recruited both of us and we're employees of PSG. We're at the Coach's disposition and he chooses who he wants. I'm not here to create trouble or start a conflict, I'm here to play and that's all!"

Kalou nonetheless complained about being benched for the matches against Bordeaux and Lens, and PSG suffered a 2-0 loss to Lyon on Saturday when Coach Laurent Fournier fielded both him and the former AC Milan midfielder.
