Onthe night of thatday when the final match was played, theGeneral Secretary watched a live broadcast of the match from the beginning to the end.

When the whistle of the chief referee sounded todeclare the end of the match, he exclaimed with pleasure “We won!” and said thathe felt like hugging and giving the footballers and head coach a piggyback.
