Real heroes seem to never be moved by money, or material goods. Crisis-hit Greece World Cup Players that qualified for the second stage of the World Cup just said they do not want their hard-earned bonuses and instead asked for their money to be spent for a new training center the Greek National Team needs.
The Greek players that are not among the most well-paid in professional soccer lead by example in a country that was crippled by many years of political corruption and money-hungry politicians.
The 2004 European Champions that do not train in fancy sports centers and have seen the Greek National Team’s budget being cut surprised World Cup fans at a last minute win against Ivory Coast to qualify for the knockout stage and now prove that all they want is to make Greeks and Greece proud denying even their very-much deserved bonuses.
What better team can we ask for?! Let’s all do what they do in our daily lives and Greece will definitely have a brighter future!
