Chapter 368 The Selection of the National Team
After breakfast, Fan Bizhuang sat in the courtyard enjoying the morning sunshine, Molina sat on the side comfortably, and ran out of the small courtyard during the Spring Festival, having fun with the little old man Juan next door.
"What do you think, Fan?"
Molina picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, held the cup in his hand, and suddenly made a sound.
"What do you think?" Fan Bizhuang looked over suspiciously.
"The season is over, Villarreal's season goals have been achieved, what are your plans next?" Molina organized his words to express his true intentions, "The European Cup is about to start, I heard that coach Aragones is very likely to recruit you into the national team, will you go?"
Molina stared fixedly at his employer, his eyes full of inquiries and...expectation.The latter fell silent.
In fact, Aragones' interest in Fan Bizhuang is almost well known throughout the Iberian Peninsula. Aragones has expressed his appreciation for Fan Bizhuang more than once in public, and in the love song Come to the stadium to watch their games.And Fan Bizhuang did not let him down. In the game against Barcelona, he proved his ability with a hat-trick.
A league leader in assists and good scoring ability, he can be regarded as one of the biggest highlights of La Liga this season. How could Aragones not be interested in bringing him into the national team for such a person? into the European Cup.
Recently, as the league is coming to an end, the media and fans are discussing the final ownership of the league champion and which teams are relegated. At the same time, what they pay most attention to is the news from the national team. After the league, the European Cup The start of the game is just around the corner, and everyone is discussing how far Aragones will take the Spanish national team, which has been placed with high expectations.
There are also high calls for Fan Bizhuang to be recruited by the national team. Fan Bizhuang, who has performed extremely well throughout the season, has the strength and ability to get a position in the national team. Can surprise the national team.
Everyone thinks that at the last moment, Aragones will definitely send an invitation to Fan Bizhuang, and all signs have shown this. Of course, everyone is more aware of the fact that the staffing and tactics of this Spanish national team The style of play has long been mature and finalized. Even if Fan Bizhuang entered it, after all, he joined the team for too short a time, so don't even think about the main position.
This is actually enough. The national team also needs fresh blood. It doesn't matter if they can't be the main players in this competition. Outstanding talents are fully prepared for the future. Accumulating more competition experience is also very beneficial.
Fan Bizhuang also knows this. He doesn't care about being the main player or a substitute for the time being. What he really cares about is that he is not ready to join the Spanish national team at all.
Although he has lived in Europe since he was a child, he always remembers that he is a Chinese because of the education of his aunt Azucena. Most importantly, as his fame and influence continue to spread, more and more people Chinese compatriots began to pay attention to and support him, and he felt the expectation and enthusiasm from domestic fans, which was the biggest factor for him to waver.
If it is possible and there is an opportunity, he does not resist the idea of changing his nationality and joining the Chinese team.
But this is really difficult. He has learned through the Internet that China has very strict control over household registration. Although it is a bit troublesome to immigrate from China, as long as the procedures are complete, there is no big problem. It is very difficult to become a Chinese citizen. First, you have to settle in China for a long time. Secondly, it is best to have close relatives in China, or there are legitimate reasons, such as working in China, or making major contributions to the country. contributions, etc.
A long list of requirements can be described as difficult.
Fan Bizhuang could not meet many conditions. If there were no special circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Fan Bizhuang to change from Spanish nationality to Chinese nationality.
Another point is that the Chinese national team doesn't seem to have much interest in him.It stands to reason that he has flourished in La Liga in the past two years, and his fame and influence have grown day by day. He has also expressed his willingness to be a Chinese in public more than once, which is actually a very obscure point. He understood his intentions, but the domestic football association didn't respond at all.
This is the cultural difference between China and Europe and the United States.
In Europe and the United States, many people not only have a passport. For example, it is very likely that I am of Polish nationality, but because my father is of German nationality, this person can also apply for dual citizenship at the same time.
If such a situation occurs on the football field, it is likely that the national teams of Poland and Germany will compete for this player. As for which side to join, it depends on the player's personal wishes.No matter which side it is, at least the issue of nationality is not an obstacle.
But in China, this rule does not apply at all.China only allows single nationality, that is to say, if you want to be a real Chinese, you can only take a passport belonging to China.
Fan Bizhuang has nothing against "recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan", but the problem is that even if he is willing to change his nationality, it seems that he can't do it for the time being.
Regarding this, Fan Bizhuang could only shake his head and sigh, feeling very helpless.
As a Chinese, it is a very sacred and glorious thing to be able to serve his motherland and put on his mother's shirt, but when such a thing is out of reach, he should think about it for himself .
After all, he is a professional player. If a professional player wants to truly reach the pinnacle of football, he not only needs the results of the club, but the results of the national team are also an extremely important measure.If he wants to achieve greater achievements, he must join the national team.
It just so happened that Aragones, the coach of the Spanish national team, was very interested in him and full of affection, so knowing that he had no hope of joining the Chinese team, his choice seemed to be to join the Matador Legion. Road.
After being silent for a while, Fan Bizhuang raised his hand to pick up the cup on the table, took a sip, and then said, "What's the situation over there? Is there still no news?"
Although there is a big age gap, the relationship between Fan Bizhuang and Molina is not only a customer relationship, but also a pair of friends who have forgotten the years. When Molina decided to become Fan Bizhuang's agent, the two had already discussed it. Fan Bizhuang puts all his focus and energy on the green field, and everything else is left to Molina to take care of.
Over the past year, the two of them have done just that. Fan Bizhuang is in charge of calling the shots on the football field, while Molina is helping him with publicity outside the field, soliciting endorsements and expanding his influence.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad.
Therefore, many things are handled by Molina himself.
Molina nodded, he knew what Fan Bizhuang was asking.He has also been negotiating and trying to find ways to deal with China's domestic affairs, but he has not made much progress.
After hesitating for a moment, Molina shook his head and said, "Difficult, really difficult. It may take a long time to obtain Chinese citizenship, and it will take a lot of effort..."
His hesitation made Fan Bizhuang frowned, "Is there any difficulty, Mr. Contrales?"
"Fan, as your agent, I think I have to tell you something frankly." Molina pondered for a while, and then said, "In my opinion, there is absolutely no need for you to do such a thankless thing. Even if So what if you took a lot of effort to acquire Chinese nationality? Whether the Chinese national team will recruit you is also an ambiguous matter. And... the Chinese team is not a strong team, let alone in world football, even in In Asia, they are just a second- or third-tier team, and the chance to enter the World Cup is far away... With all due respect, since Aragones is very optimistic about you, then the Spanish national team is your best choice. The Matador Legion is a veteran team in European football, and the influence of La Liga is also increasing day by day. Only in such a team can you go higher and further, and the Chinese team..."
Molina's meaning is obvious. Even if he has become a Chinese citizen, what is the use of joining the Chinese team? The Spanish national team is different. A team with the strength to compete for the championship, even if it is soy sauce in it, the honor and value that can be reaped are enough to make Fan Bizhuang's worth and influence skyrocket again.
"I didn't say that I must become a Chinese citizen. You know, Mr. Contrales, I'm just hesitant." Fan Bizhuang shook his head. How could he not understand this truth? It's just that there are some things that make him It's just a tangled heart.
"Now you are really just hesitant, but I believe that if possible, you will make such a choice. Fan, I know you, I know what kind of person you are. Sorry, I just don't want to see you make such a choice. A choice that is completely unhelpful for my football path."
Molina continued, but Fan Bizhuang couldn't find any words to refute.
This is indeed the case. He asked himself, if China and the Chinese National Football Team accepted him, would he firmly reject it?
The answer...he himself was vague.
But... this is just a thought. In fact, it is really difficult to become a Chinese citizen.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. If the Spanish national team calls me up, I will think about it carefully." Fan Bizhuang shook his head and said, "It is also a great temptation for me to be able to go to the European Cup. Ah... But you can't be too optimistic, after all, Coach Aragones hasn't really invited me yet..."
Molina didn't continue talking, but nodded with a light smile. Although Fan Bizhuang's attitude was not very clear, it was enough. He did not resist playing for Matador.
"So, you have to work harder, Fan!" Molina drank the green tea in his hand in one breath, and laughed, "There are still two rounds in the league, show your true strength, and use your best performance as the national team." The stepping stone of the team, the last train to the European Cup, you will definitely catch it!"
"Ha, I won't leave! For the past two weeks, I'll be here, waiting for... good news from the national team!"
