Gilberto Silva and Marcos Senna were both surprised. They did not expect that Riester would say these words to them. Although they had not received a call from the Brazilian national team at all, they still did not want to give up.
Of course, the two of them knew that there was little chance of joining the Brazilian national team.
Looking at Gilberto Silva and Marcos Senna, Riester sighed slightly. There are many Brazilian players who change their nationality, and there is only one reason. That is that there are too many good players in Brazil, and many of them can play in other national teams.
No established player can enter the Brazilian national team. Of course, apart from this reason, it is a matter of style. Brazilian football has its own football style. Many very strong players cannot enter the national team because of style issues.
Although Riester had a good relationship with the two of them, he couldn't force the change of nationality. This kind of thing was completely different from other things. Riester couldn't force them through friendship. However, Riester thought for a while and said
: "It's not that I want to force you. I don't have any ideas in this regard. Of course, I don't have the qualifications. Because this matter is your own choice. I came to you today because the deputy director of our Czech Football Association a few days ago
The president found me and he hopes you can join the Czech national team."
"I thought about it later, and I think this suggestion is not bad. You are all 23 years old this year, and you will be 24 years old at the end of this season. You are not young anymore, really not young. I am the same as you.
Emerson is already well-known in European football and is the absolute main midfielder of the Brazilian national team. And Edu, who plays for Corinthians, is also a midfielder who has attracted much attention in Brazil.
, he is still two years younger than the two of you. I know that many players in Brazil can enter the national team when they are eighteen or nineteen years old, and they can still attract attention even if they cannot enter the national team. But you two are now...
.”
What Riester said is correct. Fortunately, several people have known each other for many years and have a good relationship with them. So they are not angry yet, but Gilberto Silva and Senna are still sad. Unlike some other countries, the Brazilian national team
The most indispensable thing is talented players, so it is difficult to enter their national team. All Brazilian players know this. Like Gilberto Silva and Senna are already 23 years old, but they are still in the Czech Republic
Players playing in the First Division basically have no hope.
A 23-year-old Brazilian player may not be able to join the Brazilian national team even if he plays in the Eredivisie, French Ligue 1, or Portuguese Super League. This is because there are not many Brazilian players playing in high-level leagues such as Serie A and La Liga.
You know how many Brazilian players are there, so many of the Brazilian players who dominate the Bundesliga cannot make it to the national team, let alone those who play in the Czech Republic.
Riester himself knows the potential of Gilberto Silva and Marcos Senna, and knows the heights they can reach in the future. But the two of them themselves do not know. From their current understanding, they and the Brazilian nation
The distance is the distance between the earth and the moon.
"Lister, the matter is too big, can you let us think about it?"
Gilberto answered the question because changing nationality was too big a deal for them. Although they also knew that they would probably never have the chance to enter the Brazilian national team in their lifetime, it was still very difficult to decide.
Lister didn’t want to force them. And Lister knew one thing very clearly. Even if Sparta Prague performed well in the Champions League, given their status of playing in the Czech Republic, it would be difficult for them to be favored by the Brazilian national team. In the next one or two years
It is impossible for the two of them to enter the national team within this year.
So Lister thought for a while and then said: "Gilberto, Marcos, this is your business, you can judge for yourself. But I have to say one last thing. If you still want to play in the World Series, then the best way is
Enter the Czech national team. Because you don’t know when you want to enter the Brazilian national team? I think you can continue to wait for the call of the Brazilian national team in one or two years, but by then you will be in your mid-twenties. By then.
It was really too late.”
"Think about it carefully. Of course, there is no need to rush to conclusions. You must choose the one that suits you best. Because this is related to your career."
Persuasion, persuasion. Persuasion must not be forced, it must be fair. Only then can they listen. So after simply speaking, Lister left.
"Marcos, what do you think?"
Gilberto Silva asked Senna after Lister left. Lister's proposal was something he had never thought of, or they had never dared to think of it. Therefore, Lister's words had a great impact on them.
, they all want to know what the other person means.
Both of them were brought over by Riester in Brazil and came to the Czech Republic at the same time. After arriving in the Czech Republic, they both played football in Sparta Prague. In addition, because both of them are Brazilians, they have always been
They are inseparable. The two of them are still partners in the midfield, Gilberto is the defensive midfielder, and Senna is an all-around midfielder who can attack and defend well. Their partners have a tacit understanding. In the same way, the two of them have become the best after more than two years of getting along.
friend.
Now both of them are the main players of Sparta Prague. Although the salary is not high, the annual salary is 130,000 euros. This salary is already much better than their life in Brazil. Even under Riester's arrangement
, both of their families arranged to live in Prague. Moreover, the distance between the two families was very close, which made their friendship extremely good.
Senna did not answer immediately, but frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying: "What Riester said did not lie to us. It is difficult for a playing style like yours and mine to be favored by the national team."
"You want to agree?"
Gilberto Silva understands what Senna means. It is very difficult for the two of them to win the favor of the national team. But he still has a little thought about it.
"Let's wait and see. If we don't have a chance in a while... Gilberto, I really want to play in the World Series, I want to play in the World Cup. If as a player you haven't even played in the World Cup, what a shame.
It's a big regret, I didn't want to be like this. If I really can't enter the Brazilian national team, then I won't give up such an opportunity."
Senna seemed to have made a decision. Gilberto Silva sighed, as a player, who doesn’t want to play in the World Series, especially the World Cup. They are already 23 years old, and they will be 24 next year.
.This is the time when a player begins to enter his prime. There are not many years to squander. The decision made at this time will affect the player's voice.
"Well, let's get through this season first. If we are still unable to be called up by the Brazilian national team after the end of this season, then the two of us will seriously consider accepting Riester's suggestion."
Gilberto Silva also went all out. Rather than never being able to play in the World Series, choosing to join a second-tier European team like the Czech Republic is a good choice. Moreover, they have been in the Czech Republic for more than two years and have begun to get familiar with it.
Czech Republic.
…………
"how?"
Merkley asked List a few days later.
"I think it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, it is basically impossible for them to enter the Brazilian national team in a short time. In other words, unless they join a strong European team in one or two years, it is unlikely that they will be admitted to the Brazilian national team.
Pay attention. In order to participate in the World Series, they should choose to join the Czech national team."
Merkley nodded. As the vice chairman of the Football Association, Merkley actually didn't pay that much attention to the two of them. After all, he focused more on the inside of the Czech Football Association. But someone made such a suggestion to him, and he thought it was very good. And
He knew that their joining would make the national team perform well. In the future, when he becomes the chairman of the Football Association, the most important thing if he wants to secure his position is the performance of the national team. Obst has accumulated strength and prestige over the years, and now the national team's performance is not good.
The situation was in jeopardy. You can know that the results of the national team are helpful to the chairman of the Football Association. That's why I discussed this matter with Riester.
"That's good. You also said that the two of them are very strong."
"Of course. If they were not strong, how could I lure them from Brazil to the Czech Republic? But this kind of thing is best done quietly and absolutely not with a big fanfare. Because it can easily attract the attention of UEFA and World Football Federation.
, it will not be very beneficial to us at that time. This kind of nationality change will definitely cause a lot of trouble. If something goes wrong, UEFA and World Football Association may interfere with us."
Riester is not sure that Gilberto Silva and Senna will stay in the Czech Republic for five years. Only after working in the Czech Republic for five years can you be eligible to apply for nationality, and it is quite troublesome to apply. If time is running out, give it to them.
There are definitely a lot of inconveniences in changing your nationality. This requires the people above to keep an open mind. That is to say, countries with political problems like the Czech Republic are the easiest to do it. Complete everything quietly, and then change
It's a fait accompli. But if something happens before the change is made, UEFA and World Football Federation will definitely interfere.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry about this. As long as they agree, I will complete it as quickly as possible. I won't give any chance for outside reaction. No one will even tell the newspaper."
Merkley is very confident in this aspect. With his status in Czech football and his family's status in Czech politics, applying for citizenship is a simple matter. Don't talk about Gilberto Silva and Senna.
He has been in the Czech Republic for more than two years, and even if he has just arrived in the Czech Republic, he is confident that he can help them solve the nationality issue. He can also make people unable to find problems, and he can handle it quietly.
