Chinese soccer received a breaking news on June 27, with the latest report about naturalized player Alan sent by Beijing media Beijing Youth Daily. According to the report, Alan has agreed to an invitation from the Sea Cowboys and hopes to represent the Chinese national team. This is certainly a positive sign for the national soccer team.
Qingdao Hainiu, as a promoted team in the Chinese Super League, is facing huge relegation pressure this season. Currently they are in the bottom two of the table and have become the favorite to be relegated. In order to succeed in relegation, they plan to continue to strengthen their lineup this summer. When the foreign aid quota runs out, their eyes turn to the naturalized player Alan who will not occupy the foreign aid quota. After all, Allan is currently performing well in the Barclays Premier League, and with his years of playing in the Chinese Super League, he is very familiar with Chinese soccer and is fully capable of adapting to the game immediately.
In response, Beijing Youth Daily wrote: "Alan is open to joining the Qingdao Hainiu team because Alan knows that the only way to be selected for the national soccer team again is to return to the Chinese Super League, and Alan has always hoped to represent the national soccer team again in the next Asian Cup and World Cup preliminaries. The media also said that Qingdao Hainiu and Alan are finalizing the details of the contract and substantial progress has been made.
As you can see from the Beijing Youth Daily report, Alan made the right decision. Although he wants to return to play in the Chinese Super League, he must continue to play for the national soccer team. Although the media did not disclose specific information, Alan's decision is not only exciting news for Qingdao Sea Cowboys and the national soccer team, but also a relief for the head coach of the national soccer team, Propaganda Kovic, as well as Wu Lei, Ekson and other national soccer team players, and praised by the fans.
Some fans said, "Alan's strength is absolutely OK. He forms the national soccer team's trident with Ackerson and Wu Lei, while Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao form the substitute trident. With such a frontline combination, as long as Jankovic is flexible, the results of the Asian Cup and World Qualifiers will not be bad! Some other fans said, "Alan will definitely play a key role in the relegation of the Sea Cowboys as long as he returns to the Chinese Super League, and as long as he stays in good shape, he will be just in time for the Asian Cup at the end of the year.""
Of course, there are some fans who express their views like this: "Qingdao Hainiu is really good! With Zhang Xiuwei, Alan and Duan Liuyu brought in during the summer transfer window, Dalian are very confident of relegation success, and it looks like they may avoid the relegation dilemma! With the strength of Ackerson and Allan, who are fully capable of playing up front, and with Jankovic coaching Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning as strikers, the national soccer team is still expected to contend for an Asian Cup victory!"
