Chapter 136: Second Nationality
"According to Spain's "Foreigner" law, citizens of other nationalities must live in Spain for ten consecutive years before they can apply for their own nationality, but for South American citizens or South American players, as long as they have played in La Liga for two consecutive years, they can apply for Spanish nationality. In other words, even if you add a series of necessary processes such as identity verification, quality considerations, income level, and contribution to society, South American players can basically get a second citizenship in Spain in about 3 to 4 years. ”
"Your Olympic team-mates Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero!"
"Santi, do you really want to go to Spain?"
The next morning, when Isabella, who had hurried to his home after receiving a call from St. Tiago, took out the prepared materials and read them to St. Tiago, she still asked in disbelief. She didn't know why Santiago's perception had suddenly changed so much, and she thought about going to La Liga again, but then again, the Spanish government's second citizenship policy for professional players playing in La Liga is really good.
Second citizenship is a very good thing for both players and clubs.
First of all, from the perspective of Santhiago, if he really plays for enough time in La Liga, then after getting a second citizenship in Spain, Santi will be equivalent to getting an EU passport. This also means that since then, Santi's football career has not only traveled to the top five European leagues and is no longer restricted by foreign aid, but also brought great convenience to his future life.
This is actually something that many fans don't know.
Before you have a local nationality, no matter how much you are loved by the local fans, your family and children can still only be regarded as outsiders, and it is very troublesome for children to go to nursery, school, medical care, and retirement security, and even the players themselves may be regarded as outsiders after retirement, and there are very few who can stay and continue to live.
Therefore, being able to have local nationality and enjoy the same benefits and social status as local residents is obviously helpful for the quality of life and family planning of the players. Although Santhiago is still single, it is a matter of time before he gets married and has children, considering the time when professional players generally have children, Santi should still be in the rising period of his career, or the peak period, and it is impossible for his children to receive education in Argentina at that time, and he will live in Europe for a long time!
In contrast, in the United Kingdom, Germany and other major European football internationals are basically hellish in naturalization, while South American players playing in La Liga want to naturalize in Spain very easily. In this way, the small invitation sent from Villarreal is like a Fortune 500 company with a high salary, a contract with a fixed holiday, and the place of work is in a similar language, similar culture, pleasant climate, and can also get an EU passport!
The most important factor is because if an American player has European nationality, then he does not have to occupy the precious non-European and American player spots in European clubs, which is a win-win situation for players and clubs, and it is also the fundamental reason why there will be South American gangs and Brazilian gangs in Yellow Submarine, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Milan.
"Well, yes, I think what Mr. Mascalti said is indeed very reasonable, so it seems that Spain, Villarreal is indeed a very good choice."
"Mascarti? That broker predator? ”
"That's right, it's Mr. Mascalti, who came to the door yesterday after you left and told me about Villarreal and Mr. Pellegrini. I think that if this is true, then, as Mr. Mascalti said, I should seriously consider it, and besides, there is no need for Mr. Mascalti to lie to me. ”
Saint Tiago nodded and said seriously.
There is no doubt that after a night of deliberation, he agreed with Mascalti's statement that La Liga is very good in terms of exposure and competitiveness, and Villarreal is also the top club that has thrown an olive branch to him. Thinking about it this way, all that remains for Santhiago is how to deal with the brilliant achievements of his predecessors in the field of love songs.
"Listen to me, Saint-Tien, what I want to know is that all this was told to you by Mr. Mascalti himself? Can he replace Villarreal FC? As you said, he told you that he and the current Villarreal boss Manuel Pellegrini are old friends, but the question is can he really replace Pellegrini himself? What kind of identity does he stand on, these are the conditions in his mouth, these are the conditions he stands on, these are all "
Before Santi could continue, Isabella exclaimed in disbelief, not understanding what Mascalti's magic could make Santiago, who had not considered Villarreal at all, change his mind in a short period of time. Seeing that her client made a new choice and the predicament was opened, Isabella did not suddenly open up at all, and there was a bright feeling in front of her, but she was even more afraid of this thunderous Mascalti.
It is not in her own interest, but unlike Santi, who is purely thinking about her own career, Isabella has to think more about what Mascalti's purpose is to intervene in this matter.
To put it simply, I have no stake in Santi, and it obviously doesn't convince Isabella.
Santiago was also helpless about this, he knew Isabella's thoughts, and he agreed a little from the bottom of his heart, but more helplessly, seeing Isabella pick up the small business card, obviously had an idea, but Santi didn't say anything, just let her go.
Santy also wanted to know what kind of idea Mascalti had in mind to intervene in this matter, and it was obviously much better to let the more proficient Isabella talk, but in the process, Santi seriously instructed Isabella, he hoped that Isabella would start negotiations with the senior management of the Villarreal club as soon as possible to confirm Pellegrini's tactical thinking and position himself, after all, time was running out.
And Santi himself set off for Hawaii to find Riquelme, who was on a leisurely vacation with his family.
If he really wants to join Villarreal and work with Pellegrini, then his best friend and big brother Riquelme will be indispensable, and Santi needs the senior figure who has helped him a lot to give him advice on this matter.
