🤑 Al-Hilal hand out generous bonus after Saudi side make history in the US

There were several questions about the value that Al-Hilal would pay as a "bicho" to the athletes after the historic classification to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup over Manchester City.

It was up to journalist Ahmed Al-Qarni, who works for the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper and is a member of the Saudi Arabian Media Sports Federation, to reveal the value in question.

According to him, each athlete earned 2 million Saudi riyals, which is equivalent to R$ 2.9 million.

The club itself released a video with the presence of president Fahad bin Nafel in the locker room of the Camping World Stadium.

The material preserved the "mystery" about the value, as there is a cut before Fahad bin Nafel talks about the money in question.

The sequence shows the arrival of coach Simone Inzaghi and several athletes going to hug the president after the "revelation" that was of great interest.

The "bicho" in the context of football refers to the value paid to athletes and members of the technical committee after relevant victories or other important results.

Al-Hilal, with Brazilians Marcos Leonardo, Malcom, Renan Lodi, and Kaio César, will face Fluminense next Friday (4), starting at 4 pm (Brasília time) for a place in the semifinals.

Whoever advances will guarantee a prize of $21 million from FIFA.

Which is equivalent to 78.7 million Saudi riyals and R$ 114.4 million.
