No salary for football play & only 80 euros per week subsidy! Auckland City striker: Kane s weekly salary is more than my annual salary

June 15th News New Zealand team Auckland City will play against Bayern in the Club World Cup. According to French media RMC, the team's 29-year-old striker Kilkoli is very much looking forward to this game and talks about his daily life.

The amateur player admitted: "It is a dream for us to be able to compete with these clubs. It is somewhat incredible to compete with them." He added: "Our team is like a family, everyone knows each other, and everyone will have a drink after the game." According to him, the audience at each game is generally between 200 and 2,000.

As the sales director of an electric tool company, he describes his daily routine: he goes to work at 7:30 in the morning, works all day, trains three to four times a week, and goes home around 9:00 in the evening. Kilcoli did not receive a salary from Auckland City, only a subsidy of no more than NZ$150 (about €80) per week to cover expenses such as gym membership fees.

Like his teammates, he has not really taken a vacation for three or four years, but has dedicated his vacation to football. Going to the United States for one month even means economic losses. "I don't have four weeks of paid annual leave, so I have to take unpaid leave, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Participating in the Club World Cup allows us to play football on the world stage and experience the feeling of professional players, even though we are not professional players."

Gilkley also plans to exchange jerseys with Kane. The Bayern striker is also wearing the No. 9 jersey, with a transfer market estimated at 75 million euros. "I think he earns more per week than I do in a year," he quipped.
