ps2: So, this time, the 90000 recommended update will be sent first, and the next update will be recommended at 91000, but the release date is likely to be a few days later...

"...So, I think that if the second type of satellite club is established in a foreign league, the effect will be better." Just as Zhuang Mingge and others were thinking about the positive significance of the existence of GM to Florence, Antonioni was still in the Continuing his speech, "For example, Ajax's star training system is quite mature, and establishing a relationship with it will help us profit from it. In addition, if we build satellite clubs in overseas leagues, I think we will give priority to those with relatively loose naturalization policies. of those countries."

As he said that, Antonioni set his sights on Zhuang Mingge, hoping to get the approval of his boss.

"Oh? Ah, Giancarlo, you're right..." Under Karin's "friendly reminder", Zhuang Mingge recovered from his thoughts and agreed casually.

"Thank you boss for your appreciation, then I will continue." After getting the result he wanted, Antonioni bowed slightly to Zhuang Mingge, and then began his long speech, "About obtaining EU citizenship In terms of time limit, among the five major leagues, Germany, France, England, Spain and our Italy all have a five-year time limit. As for the leagues in other countries, the Netherlands has five years, Belgium has three years, Portugal has five years, and the three Nordic countries have a five-year time limit. Over seven years..."

It turns out that it has already been said here!Zhuang Mingge is very lucky that Antonioni didn't find out about his sneaking behavior just now. Although he is Antonioni's boss, it's hard to say whether the famous club star will blow his beard and stare at himself when he finds out that he didn't listen to his speech at all. , then lose the old man.

"Then, Giancarlo, in which countries do you think it is most beneficial for Florence to establish satellite clubs?" After Antonioni's statement came to an end, Zhuang Mingge asked a question.

Hearing this question from the boss, Antonioni immediately exchanged opinions with Kenyon, Poirot and others present, and also made several consulting calls to professionals in this field, and finally gave the answer:

"Boss, I think from the current situation, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal are the most suitable choices. Secondly, building satellite clubs in France and Germany is also quite good."

"Huh? Why did you choose this way? Belgium is because the time to obtain citizenship is the shortest. I can understand it, but I remember Giancarlo, didn't you just say that Spain, Portugal, France, and Germany all take five years to obtain citizenship?" ?”

"That's right, boss." Antonioni, who has obtained a lot of information from professionals, began to pass on this knowledge to Zhuang Mingge, "It is true that it takes five years for non-EU players to obtain Spanish citizenship, but there is a The exception is that, with the exception of Brazil, all players from Latin American countries acquire Spanish citizenship for two years."

"Um, is there such a good thing?" Zhuang Mingge was very surprised by this, because in his memory, Redondo, who is an Argentine, played in La Liga for several years without obtaining Spanish nationality.

"I heard that it was because Fernando didn't want to become a Spanish citizen, and Tenerife and Real Madrid didn't want to force him for this kind of thing, so this matter was put on hold... If we didn't talk about Fernando later, I'm afraid Houli O (Cruz) will not be able to come to Fiorentina in January this year."

"So that's how it is." Zhuang Mingge wiped off a cold sweat secretly, thinking that Redondo is really quite individual, and he doesn't even want the EU status he got. "I know the reason for Spain, but what about other countries?"

"The reason for choosing Belgium is that, on the one hand, it has the shortest naturalization time among EU countries, and on the other hand, it is because the Belgian league does not have restrictions on foreign aid! That is to say, we can send non-European players to The Belgian League, after the three-year period expires, you can get Belgian citizenship, and then make a profit from it or selectively recall it to play for Fiorentina."

"Although Portugal has been naturalized for five years, due to its inseparable relationship with Brazil, the football kingdom (Brazil was a colony of Portugal before independence, and its official language is also Portuguese), the Portuguese league has an unusual role for Brazilian players. In addition, the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also encourages excellent Brazilian players to be naturalized in Portugal. Basically, the application can be passed, and in some special cases, Portuguese citizenship can be obtained even if it is less than five years." Speaking of this, Antonioni added One sentence, "Of course, if you are a player from a non-Portuguese colony, the time to obtain citizenship is generally much longer than the five-year period."

"Germany is because of its special restrictions on foreign aid. The German Football Association stipulates that Eastern European players are not counted as foreign aid. This is worth making good use of. Moreover, the Bundesliga is also one of the five major leagues, and its level is also top-notch."

"France's advantage is that it used to have an extremely vast colony in Africa. Countries such as Algeria, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, and Cameroon were all French spheres of influence decades ago, so many players born in these former French colonies Both can easily obtain French citizenship, such as Marcel Desailly who is currently playing for AC Milan and Patrick Vieira for Arsenal. Therefore, I think it is beneficial to establish a second-category satellite team in France We in Fiorentina take players from Africa."

Antonioni is not a racist. He doesn't have much prejudice against players born in Africa or African descent. His attitude towards these players has always been that it doesn't matter which country you are from, as long as it is beneficial to Florence, there is no problem.

What's more, African players are not helpless. Cameroon's amazing performance in the World Cup in Italy seven years ago and Nigeria's wonderful performance in last year's Atlanta Olympics made the world realize that Africa also has hidden potential to become a "Maxima". "The players are waiting for Bole's development.

Okocha, Eto'o, Drogba, Essien, the Toure brothers, Mikel, Adebayor... When thinking of those world-class stars who came out of Africa in later generations, Zhuang Mingge felt that his saliva was drooling. Unable to stop being obscene, especially after listening to Antonioni's introduction, Zhuang Mingge felt that it was really necessary to establish a base in Florence in France.

"Then, Giancarlo, do you have any suitable clubs that you can recommend to us?" Zhuang Mingge asked after wiping away the drool that was about to overflow, adjusted his attitude.

However, in the eyes of the others present, Zhuang Mingge looked like a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing.
