The Energie Cottbus striker has hit out at former club AS Saint-Etienne for making him go through a lot of humiliating episodes during his time at the Forez and has asked for compensation
With five goals to his name in eight 2.Bundesliga appearances, Cote d’Ivoire striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boubacar-Sanogo-c7921 has become a rejuvenated man and is out for redemption. A few months back, things were not looking good for the 29-year-old who had become a forgotten man
at Ligue 1 outfit, AS Saint-Etienne where his status was that of an undesirable.
And, the striker chose to drop a bombshell on his previous employers while talking to the media. The striker has claimed 7.7 million euros in damages from Les Verts before a tribunal at the city of Saint-Etienne.
Sanogo says that he wants damages to be paid for everything he suffered from last season because the club’s management treated him in an unacceptable manner, something the player still finds hard to digest./
“They made me look like a profiteer, an undesirable, as someone who stole from the club. At some point, enough is enough! This is unacceptable for my family. I am a human being who lives in a state of law.”
The former Werder Bremen striker also went back to his nightmare at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard by saying that he was deprived of the basic rights of being a footballer of a Ligue 1 outfit. The striker was forced to train with the reserves and was not even allowed
to have breakfast with his teammates.
The club even forbade the player to appear in the official photograph which is something that one cannot fathom these days.
“I had the feeling of being a machine that no longer produced and was scrapped. But it was even worse. As a machine, it does not hurt to go through such words or actions. Yes, as a man, I was called everything. I was humiliated.”
Hurt and dejected due to such deplorable actions by a professional club, Sanogo wants to be compensated properly but the club’s president, Roland Romeyer says that that the player can say whatever he wants to say but he was the highest paid player at the
club.
However, regardless of his salary, the club should not have pushed Sanogo to the ropes with such underhanded tactics and the hearing, which takes place next year, will conclude this saga which ASSE could have done without.
