Episode [278]: The Introduction of DC Emperor Is Full of Problems

The issue of labor certification is very serious.

Diego Costa has never entered the Brazilian national team at all, and has not even been selected for youth teams at any level. He is a person with no national team experience. There was no way to obtain an English labor certificate through formal means. There were only two ways in front of him.

The first step is to obtain Spanish citizenship.

Obviously, this is also very, very difficult!

The conditions for obtaining Spanish nationality are very demanding. Either one of your parents was born in Spain, or you were born in Spain, or you have lived legally in Spain for more than five years, or you have lived legally in Spain for two years, but your origin is from a Latin American country. Descendants of Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal or Spain, or orphans born in Spain with uncertain relationship to their parents, or orphans adopted by Spaniards under the age of 18, or legally residing in Spain for one year, and one A Spaniard gets married...

Anyway, acquiring Spanish citizenship is very complicated!

Diego Costa has only been in Spain for two years, and it is difficult to apply to join the Spanish national team based on his length of residence.

Now there are only two options available to Diego Costa. One is to ask his parents in Brazil to check the genealogy to see if their ancestors are of Portuguese or Spanish descent.

This one can actually be faked, but if discovered, the consequences will be endless!

The second is that Diego Costa quickly finds a Spanish girl to marry, and then he can become a Spanish citizen. The second rule is obviously to be much safer.

However, this second item is related to Diego Costa’s private life, and perhaps Diego Costa will not be willing to do it.

Regarding Diego Costa's naturalization of Spain, there are currently only two best operations.

Jorge Mendes briefly told Zhong Cheng the conditions for applying for Spanish citizenship. In fact, applying for Spanish citizenship is much more complicated than what Jorge Mendes summarized, because some of them have other requirements. Additional conditions.

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said, "In other words, it is almost impossible for Diego Costa to obtain Spanish citizenship now?"

Jorge Mendes immediately nodded and said: "It is indeed more difficult to take the legal route. Of course, there is one method we can operate!"

Of course Zhong Cheng knows which one Jorge Mendes is talking about!

Zhong Cheng immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, that will cause too much trouble. Our Leeds United team will be implicated in the future. Falsehood is not good!"

Hearing what Zhong Cheng said, Jorge Mendez nodded slightly and agreed with Zhong Cheng.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly said: "Boss, in fact, we can go through special channels. Each Premier League team can apply for a quota for special genius clauses every year. Through the application of special geniuses, Diego does not need a labor certificate. You can join us!"

Jorge Mendes also nodded immediately, he thought so too!

Of course, if Diego Costa can get the special genius clause, none of the above problems will be a problem.

However, the premise is that it is difficult for Diego Costa to pass the application for special genius clauses.

Firstly, Diego Costa has reached 20 years old, and secondly, there is a particularly amazing performance that Diego Costa has not been able to produce so far.

Almost all those who have received special genius regulations are younger and have their own representatives.

And Diego Costa doesn’t have it now!

If so, Diego Costa would almost never pass the application for special genius regulations.

Zhong Cheng told Jorge Mendes about the application conditions for the special genius regulations, and then said: "In short, the special genius regulations are very difficult to pass. Luka Modric almost failed to pass before, and Yaya Tu Ray also failed, Diego Costa is almost impossible!”

Jorge Mendez said: "Mr. Loya, you may have underestimated your influence. I think there is still hope for us to apply for the special genius regulations!"

Zhong Cheng stared at Jorge Mendez and said nothing.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: "Who in today's world football does not know your vision of discovering young talented players, Mr. Loya? All the young players you have discovered before have become stars. The people you value are It shows that he is a talented new star. With you as your witness for Diego Costa, I believe the English Football League will consider it!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. Jorge Mendes still underestimated the FA and misunderstood the relationship between himself and the FA!

The relationship between himself and the Football Association is not as good as Jorge Mendes imagined.

Jorge Mendes also said: "And I, Jorge Mendes, also have some status in world football. The young people we both value at the same time can also be called young geniuses."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded in agreement with Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes continued: "At that time, I am looking for well-known figures in football such as Jose Mourinho to vouch for Diego Costa. I believe that the Football Association will pass Diego Costa Apply for Go Costa’s Special Genius Ordinance!”

After speaking, Jorge Mendes stared at Zhong Cheng closely.

Zhong Cheng was thinking about Jorge Mendez's proposal. To be honest, whether it is good or bad to apply for this special genius regulation, it is easy or good to apply, mainly because of the attitude of the Football Association. They decided that If you are a special genius, you are a special genius.

As long as Jorge Mendes can get the people from the Football Association, it is feasible for Diego Costa to get the special talent clause.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said: "Maybe, but there is no guarantee that it will pass. You have to handle this matter!"

Jorge Mendes nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Loya, I will take care of it from the FA!"

Zhong Cheng believes in Jorge Mendez's ability.

Zhong Cheng said: "Now that the labor certificate issue has been solved, how to solve the first question I raised before?"

Jorge Mendez thought for a moment, and then said: "Oh! That's what you're talking about. Compared to the second problem, the first problem is much easier to solve!"

Zhong Cheng and Cristiano Ronaldo both looked at Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: "When the time comes, I will contact Atletico Madrid first. Aren't they going to sell Diego Costa? As Diego Costa's agent, I will sell it to other clubs through my relationships. Recommend Diego Costa. Leeds United will be one of the clubs by then. That means Diego Costa is not the player that Mr. Loya likes, but me, Jorge Mendes, with the help of Cristiano. ·Ronaldo’s connections sent him to your Leeds United team!”

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, this would work.

Jorge Mendes also said: "I will contact Atletico Madrid when the time comes, and I will definitely handle this matter!"

Hearing what Jorge Mendes said, Zhong Cheng felt relieved.

Zhong Cheng still values ​​Diego Costa quite highly. This guy has excellent physical fitness, strong impact, good ability with his feet and head, and he is also a forward with good overall ability. Of course, the current Diego Costa is still a young player, but Zhong Cheng firmly believes that through his own training and the assistance of the [Super Football Training System], Diego Costa will grow up quickly, just like The same people as Gerard Pique and Luka Modric before.

Jorge Mendes is staring at Zhong Cheng. To be honest, he admires Zhong Cheng very much when it comes to cultivating young players. Handing Diego Costa to Zhong Cheng is definitely Diego Costa. Tower and his luck.

Now Jorge Mendes is waiting for Zhong Cheng's reply.

Zhong Cheng glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo and then at Jorge Mendes.

Yes, Zhong Cheng is very optimistic about Diego Costa in his heart, but he doesn't show it on the surface. He wants Jorge Mendes to know that he only took in Diego Costa for the sake of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zhong Cheng said: "Yes! Our Leeds United club can introduce Diego Costa!"

Jorge Mendes had a smile on his face, and today's task was successfully completed.

Zhong Cheng continued: "However, in terms of player treatment and player contracts, we may not pay too high!"

Jorge Mendes frowned slightly, Zhong Cheng said this was a reasonable request, but he still wanted to apply for better treatment for Diego Costa.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: "Mr. Loya, Diego is a player with great potential!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo again, and then said: "In this way, we can give Diego Costa a five-year contract, and at the same time I will also guarantee you that he will have a certain amount of time at Leeds United every year." I will try my best to train him. But in terms of player treatment and transfer fees, I may not pay too much!"

After saying that, Zhong Cheng settled on Jorge Mendes and threw all the questions to Jorge Mendes.

What Zhong Cheng means is that for the sake of Cristiano Ronaldo, I can give Diego Costa a five-year contract, guarantee him some playing time, and try my best to train him. But we won't pay any transfer fees, and the players' annual salary and signing fees will be very low.

Now these questions are handed over to Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes was a little misunderstood by Zhong Cheng. He thought that Zhong Cheng did not like Diego Costa, but decided to take in Diego Costa because of the face of Cristiano Ronaldo. Costa's.

In the view of Jorge Mendes, it is the best choice for Diego Costa to go to Zhong Cheng.

At this time, it would be great for Leeds United to accept Diego Costa.

Zhong Cheng also said: "You also have to run for the labor certificate. At that time, I will at most give you some help. If it's more, I can't guarantee your guarantee!"

After saying that, Zhong Cheng took a sip from his tea cup and asked Jorge Mendes to think about it carefully.

Jorge Mendes was carefully considering Zhong Cheng's proposal, and after a while he said: "What kind of treatment can your club give Diego?"

Zhong Cheng said bluntly: "When Diego Costa comes to our Leeds United, I can only give him our club's basic salary, which is 10,000 pounds a week, and the salary will increase by 10%-15% every year based on his performance. , this is the condition I can offer now.”

Jorge Mendes nodded slightly. To be honest, the salary is really not high. But it is higher than the current salary of Diego Costa.

Jorge Mendes glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo, and then after thinking carefully, he agreed to Zhong Cheng's proposal, but he still fought for Diego Costa, and finally increased the salary increase to 12%-20%.

Zhong Cheng signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Jorge Mendes, and was waiting for Jorge Mendes to figure everything out, and then Diego Costa could join Leeds United.
