Celebrated Japanese plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu has announced his
desire to reward the Dream Team, $30,000 to each Nigerian player should
they win gold at the Rio 2016 men’s Olympic football tournament along
with $20,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze after hearing about their
financial woes.
“I read about the financial problems affecting the team and I felt the need to make a big contribution,” Takasu told BBC Sport.
“I am not doing this for media attention but to motivate a team with an
indomitable spirit. I fell in love with the Nigerian team because
despite all these problems they are in the quarter-finals of the
Olympics.
“Whether they win or not, I will still donate something to help
alleviate the challenges in paying their bonuses and allowances.”
