Roberto Firmino, Ivan Toney and Riyad Mahrez were all top English Premier League strikers. Local British media, including Golcom, reported that Al-Ahli was paying Firmino £16 million, Mahrez £43.76 million, and Tony £21.38 million annually. The combined annual salaries of these three people amount to 154.6 billion won. In other words, he invested more than 10 times the total annual salary (9.7 billion won) of the Gwangju FC squad, which reached the quarterfinals of ACLE, in three strikers.
Kawasaki, who will face such Al-Ahli, is also no match for the scale. When it comes to the value of the team, it is 15.28 million euros. However, Kawasaki already proved that money is not everything, as he defeated Alnasr, who is 10 times larger than Cristiano Ronaldo, in the semifinal.
Kawasaki coach Shigetoshi Hasebe, asked about the size difference with Al-Ahli at the final press conference, "Money is an important part of the world of soccer, but you don't play with money when you play. Players don't run with wallets or play with credit cards. That's the player"What's most important to a player is what he does on the field. Don replied, "The story after that..." "You can't win a final with 90 percent and 95 percent. It is only when the players perform 100 percent that the result can be contested"I'll turn everything into power and challenge myself to the championship."
