On June 27, as if a huge wave had been created in the Chinese soccer world, an explosive news about naturalized player Alan was first revealed by Beijing Youth Daily. According to the newspaper, Alan has nodded his head to the invitation of the Manatees and is eager to join the Chinese national team. This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the national soccer team.
Qingdao Hainiu, a team that has just been promoted to the Chinese Super League, is suffering from a tough relegation challenge this season. They are hovering on the edge of the relegation zone in the table and have become the center of attention. In order to escape the fate of relegation, the Manatees plan to continue strengthening their squad in the summer. At a time when the foreign aid quota is saturated, they are targeting Alan, who does not need to occupy the foreign aid quota. After all, Allan has made a big splash in the Barclays Premier League, and his experience in the Chinese Super League has given him a good understanding of Chinese soccer, and he is fully capable of integrating into the game quickly.
Beijing Youth Daily reports that Alan is open to joining the Sea Bulls, as he knows that only by returning to the Chinese Super League will he have a chance to return to the national team. Alan is eager to wear the uniform again in the next Asian Cup and World Cup preliminaries. It is reported that the Manatees and Allan are negotiating contract details in earnest and are progressing well.
It's easy to see from the Beijing Youth Daily report that Alan has made a wise choice. Although he is eager to show his talent in the Chinese Super League, playing for his country is equally important. Alan's decision has not only excited the Manatees and the national team, but has also given head coach Propaganda Kovic and international players such as Wu Lei and Ekson a sense of relief, and the fans have been praising him as well.
Some fans said: "Alan's strength is extraordinary, with Ixon, Wu Lei partner, forming the national team's golden trident; Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao composed of the replacement trident, as long as Yankovic flexible scheduling, the Asian Cup and the World Qualifying Championships will be able to shine! There are also fans who think: "Alan's return to the Sea Bulls will undoubtedly add great impetus to the relegation. As long as he maintains his form, he will be able to make a difference in the Asian Cup at the end of the year."
Of course, some fans expressed a different view: "The Manatees brought in Zhang Xiuwei, Alan, and Duan Liuyu in the summer transfer window, and are confidently approaching the relegation battle. With the strength of Ackerson and Alan, they are expected to play a key role in the front field. Under the guidance of Jankovic, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning will play as strikers, and the national soccer team is expected to have another good performance in the Asian Cup!"
