Diciamo che bisogna un po' entrare nello specifico. Alcuni calciatori hanno la doppia cittadinanza perché hanno genitori provenienti da due paesi diversi quindi possono effettivamente scegliere per quale nazionale giocare, Sebastén Haller ad esempio è uno di questi. Altri nonostante siano nati in un determinato paese hanno genitori provenienti da un altro in questa categoria ci sono la maggior parte dei calciatori del video. Questi possono effettivamente scegliere se giocare per la nazione nella quale sono nati e cresciuti oppure giocare per la nazionale originaria dei suoi genitori. Altri ottengono la cittadinanza di una determinata nazione tramite matrimonio o tramite una lunga permanenza in un determinato paese. Diciamo che a mio modo di vedere le cose, i calciatori che fanno parte delle prime due categorie ci possono stare. Quelli facenti parte della terza ne farei volentieri a meno perché effettivamente sembra il calcio mercato e per quanto riguarda una nazionale non ci dovrebbe essere. Scusa se ti ho scritto un tema, ma non sapevo come altro spiegartelo

Thiago de Alcântara was born in Italy when his father, Mazinho (Brazilian football player, 1994 World Cup champion) played for the Italian club, Lecce at 1991. Then Mazinho moved to Spain at 1995 and played for Spanish clubs until 2001, before the retirement. Thiago even played for the Brazilian club, Flamengo, from his 10 years old (2001) to his 14 years old (2005). Thiago moved back to Spain and played for Barcelona and the Spanish national minor league teams. He had the chance to choosing for which of three great national teams he would play: Brazil, Italy or Spain. He chose Spain, more likely, because he was influenced by the fact that Spain won the 2010 World Cup, a year before his debut in the profissional footballing. Thiago's younger brother, Rafinha de Alcântara, was born in São Paulo, Brazil at 1995 and he have chosen to play for the Brazilian national team. Even though, Rafinha actually played the minor leagues for Barcelona and Spain.

[@rsnankivell1962]
