Just in case you have not heard, PSG billionaire owners are not leaving a stone unturned in Qualifying for the champions league quarter finals.
The gist is: there is an extra €250,000 bonus per player for PSG players if they go through to the quarter finals of the Champions league tonight. The money excludes normal match wages and bonuses. This one is an extra pay just to motivate the players to eliminate Chelsea.
Mourinho as usual has not failed to react to that in his pre-match briefing yesterday:
"You know, for a long, long, long time, I don't have bonuses. I just have bonuses to win competitions. So I forgot that feeling. I had that feeling, but the last time was at Porto. I never had a bonus [like that] again and I don't think we should."
"The club pay us a very good salary to do our job the best we can. We do that job as best we can. If we take the club into quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, but we don't win the competition, we are doing a very good job for the club financially but I don't think we should get extra money, on top of our salaries, if we don't win the last prize."
"It's nice I think if somebody puts on the table 250,000 euros or pounds to win a certain match, it's nice. But I think professionalism goes above and beyond that.''
He continued:
"Football is about our passion for the game, the happiness and the pride of victories. They have no price."
