Greek National Team's letter to A.Samaras: "Instead of bonus, we prefer a training center"

The concession of an area for a training center construction asked the National football team in a letter to the Greek Prime Minister Mr. Antonis Samaras, signed by all 23 players.
In a few words the letter says: "We do not want extra bonus, or money. We only play for Greece and its people. All we want is for you to support our effort to find a land and create a sports center that will house our National team ".

The letter was addressed to Greek Prime Minister today, Sunday 29, that represents a historical turn to National Team's achievements, since for the first time it participates in Mundial's "16".

I thought the players were being paid in Olive Oil & Greek Salad. :-k


what is wrong with olive oil and greek salad :-)
It is the cornerstone of the Mediterranean Diet, which is rather good for you.

Jokes aside, a class act by the Greeks. Well done.
