“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,” Takasu said.
The Nigeria Football Federation vice-presiden Seyi Akinwunmi said that the footballing body was impressed with Takasu’s kind gesture but stated that the team will not get carried away.
“I have been in direct contact with Mr Takasu and impressed by his gesture, but we need not get carried away because the integrity of the country is at stake.
