It is reported that Alan has accepted the invitation of Qingdao Hainiu and expects to be among the Chinese national team. This news undoubtedly brings exciting benefits to the national team.
Qingdao Hainiu, as a team just promoted to the Chinese Super League, is under severe relegation pressure this season. Currently, they are hovering on the edge of the relegation zone in the table, and the relegation situation is worrying. In order to get rid of the relegation crisis, the team plans to continue to attract reinforcements in the summer transfer window. With limited foreign aid quota, they have set their sights on Alan, who does not need to occupy the foreign aid quota. Alan has been performing well in the Barclays Premier League and has been honed in the Chinese Super League for many years. He knows the domestic soccer environment well and is fully capable of integrating into the game quickly.
Beijing Youth Daily reports that Alan is positive about joining Qingdao Hainiu as he knows that only by returning to the Chinese Super League will he have a chance to return to the national team. Alan has always harbored the dream of representing the national team in the Asian Cup and World Cup preliminaries. Currently, Qingdao Hainiu and Alan are negotiating the details of the contract and have made substantial progress.
From the Beijing Youth Daily report, it is clear that Allan has made a wise choice. Although he is eager to show himself in the Chinese Super League, playing for his country is what he has in mind. Alan's return not only brings hope to Qingdao Hainiu and the national team, but also gives head coach Propaganda Kovic and players like Wu Lei and Ekson a sense of relief, winning praise from fans.
A fan excitedly said: "Alan's strength should not be underestimated, with Ickerson, Wu Lei partner, enough to form the national team's trident. Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao, the replacement trident can also not be ignored. Under Yankovic's command, the Asian Cup and World Qualifiers are sure to be a success!" Other fans believe that "Alan's return to the Sea Cowboys will help the team's relegation success, and as long as he maintains his form, he is fully capable of participating in the Asian Cup at the end of the year."
Of course, there are also fans who are confident in Qingdao Hainiu's summer reinforcements: "Dalian people brought in Zhang Xiuwei, Alan and Duan Liuyu, the strength is greatly increased, and it is expected to succeed in relegation. With the outstanding performance of Ackerson and Alan, the team is quite competitive in the front position, and Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning under the guidance of Jankovic will be the sharp weapon in the front line, and the national team is expected to have another good performance in the Asian Cup!"
