MOSCOW, Jan 24 Krasnodar defender Christian Ramirez told how to get Russian citizenship affected his life.
"Last year I received a Russian passport. Yes, I can’t get into the Russian national team, because I played for Ecuador, in the RPL I’m still considered a legionnaire — it’s not about football. Now it’s much easier for me to get a bank account, travel documents, property – for example, a car", – Sports.ru quotes Ramirez.
The footballer noted that he considers Krasnodar home and is considering staying in the city after the end of his career. Ramirez has been playing for Krasnodar since January 2017. In addition to the Russian one, the footballer also has an Ecuadorian passport.
