Johannesburg, June 23 (DPA) Brazil captain Lucio is refusing to disclose how much money players have been promised in case they win the World Cup.
'Our dream is priceless,' he said Wednesday.
'The prize is not the main goal for us. Our main goal is to fulfil our dream, which is priceless. No money can reward being world champions, that's something we'll have all our lives,' the veteran defender said in Johannesburg.
As captain, Lucio - a veteran of the victorious 2002 World Cup and the failed 2006 campaign with Brazil - represented players in negotiations with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) on the prize money that the squad would get for winning the tournament a sixth time.
Both the players and the CBF have kept the amounts secret after reaching a deal in late May.
According to Brazilian daily O Estado de Sao Paulo, however, the trophy would bring the 23 players and coach Carlos Dunga around 550,000 dollars each.
The daily Folha de Sao Paulo, however, reported a far more modest figure of around 195,000 dollars each.
