In the stormy days of March 18, China's national soccer team announced its 26-player roster for the trip to Singapore, while Soccer Daily made a bold prediction about Alan's future in a sidebar: "Although he misses out on the national team, if his rehab is successful, naturalized player Alan is expected to suit up in June and become the national team's 'breakout star '."
Ivankovic led the national team list, including Jiang Guangtai, Li Ke two blood naturalized members, as well as Aixon, Fernando two non-blood naturalized players. In these four naturalized players, Jiang Guangtai's position is unbreakable, can be called the national football team's back of the sea pin; Li Ke failed to be among the trip to Singapore, the Singapore tournament, he is afraid that it is difficult to find a good opportunity; Fernando recent hot form, the 2023 season more as a substitute for the game. Talking about the possibility of his return to the national team, he was titled "breakout", and in the 2024 season, his athleticism obviously rebound; Ickerson in the first two rounds of the game is still summoned, Ivan on his in-depth communication, and pinned high hopes. Ivan said, "No matter how long or short Ickerson plays, even if it's 5 or 10 minutes, he can have a positive impact on the team."
Alan, who failed to make the cut, was a substitute in both rounds of the Chinese Super League. Although his physical condition has yet to recover, his performance was impressive and he poses a threat that cannot be ignored. If his form improves further, he may become a "breakout star" for the national team.
In the second round match against Shenhua, Alan came on as a substitute and hit the goal frame twice.
