“Dinamo” Tbilisi made comment about Soso Grishakashvili, it caused his indignation- there is written lie. As far as you know Grishakishvili was goalkeeper of national team of Georgia and the topic what he is talking about started last year.

Grishakashvili injured last year in August. Only three month later he was operated on. Soso told us that president of “Dinamo” Roman Pipia did not finance his operation- whilst the plays and Giorgi Nemsadze sport director of “Dinamo” at that time asked him for financing.
The goalkeeper was operated in spite of this, but it cost very expensive.
“I was operated on in Latvia and I do not want anything else from “Dinamo”, just financing my operation. I do not ask for money for transportation, rehabilitation. I am exhausted and that’s why I do not ask for the money. It is miser money for “Dinamo”, but they feel sorry for money, whilst “Dinamo” is and it will be role-model football club for me”- Soso Grishikashvili told “World Sport”.  

“Dinamo” made a such comment about Grishikashvili:
Not include reps of football society and fans in the error, we will present the position of the club, based on the current documentation of the player.
According to the contract Soso Grishikashvili was member of football club “Dinamo” on June 1, 2011. The deadline of the validity of the employment contract was till June1, 2012.
After expiring contract, football club “Dinamo” Tbilisi paid more money for him than it was contractual obligation. It goes without saying that the club can submit the relevant documents and it is ready to present them in any instance.
As for the fees paid for his operation:
Soso Grishikashvili was operated abroad and it was not agreed with the authority of the club, the doctor of the club also did not made any official application form about him. Accordingly the club did not authorize the operation.
In accordance with Article 13, paragraph 2 of employment contract between Soso Grishikashvili and football club “Dinamo” Tbilisi” (June 1, 2011), football player has to have treatment with the doctor of the club and with the specialist who will be chosen by the club’s doctor. If the player wishes to treat as he want, the employer is free from cost..”

According to all this what is given above, complains of the player Soso Grishikashvili are groundless and unacceptable”.

Now, Grishikashvili’s long conversation with “World Sport”.
- After reading the statement of “Dinamo” I am in shock. It is lie. First of all it must be mentioned that according to the contract they have to pay me salary for one month and half and why do they state that more money than it is contractual obligation was paid, I do not know. It is terrible when you are told that white is black.  
 As for operation, I was promised to be operated on in “Dinamo” but later I was said that the president did not accept it. Everyone in the club knew that I needed operation. Giorgi Nemsadze and Zurab Pololikashvili told Pipia about I, but he refused from paying money. The club gathered, Davit Odikadze told Alex Garcia head coach of the club in front of the all players, that they were not going to operate me. Everyone felt sorry. Garcia told the following: “Soso, cannot you get that money and when everything calms down I will take it from Pipia”. I was injured but in spite of this was having trainings.

  This issue could not be solved without Pipia. He had to pay. But he did not listen to anyone. My joint was in terrible condition, gangrene was to start. Garcia even told me that he would pay money for me. Can you imagine what a shame it was?
  Levan Nachkebia a sport traumatologist told me that such type of operation had never been made before in Georgia and told me that I had to leave for abroad. He advised me Germany, but it was expensive and that’s why I left for Latvia. There Aleko Rekhviashvili has links and he managed and I was operated in sale. It was very difficult operation. In a word, I was respected. My operation cost 6000 EUR and how I could pay? These following football players helped me: Ucha Lobzhanidze, Aleko Amisulashvili and others.  It was not only operation, I needed rehabilitation, which cost quite much. I could not stay in Riga for rehabilitation, because I did not have money. Surgical procedures were necessary for me the second time and football players of “Dinamo” helped me. Everyone helped me and I would like to thank them. Everyone helped me besides the president of “Dinamo”.
  I can present all the documentations. “Dinamo” gave me appeal for visa, when I was leaving for Latvia for operating. “Dinamo” as an employer gave me a document. Just as I said, football players helped me financially and I was operated on with their money.

I came back and had rehabilitation here. And once when I got to the base, I was not allowed to enter. Security told me that what shall we do, we were told that Grishikashvili is prohibited to enter Digomi base. I had never seen such thing before. I did not deserve. He who knows me and knows my career, helped me but I have self-esteem. In a word, since April I have been prohibited to enter Digomi base and I was not paid salary for one month and half.
 I was trying and have been trying to meet Pipia before April and since April. But he did not want. I cannot express what I am feeling. Operations, rehabilitations and plus getting on my nerves.
 I noticed all these following facts in Football Federation. During my career, I was member of “Dinamo” four times. I was a little when I was taken to “Dinamo” and I was the happiest person. I would not talk about it in a public way but endurance is not limitless. When I was not allowed to enter the base it was the last drop.
   I have all the necessary documents and there is written my treatment cost. I do not want anything else from “Dinamo”, just want to pay for my operation. I ask for money neither transportation nor rehabilitation. I am exhausted and that’s why I do not ask for. It is miser money for “Dinamo”, but they are sorry for this money. And one more thing: all what is written in “Dinamo” statement, it is just position of Pipia and it would be better if he did not write it on behalf of the club”.
