On the warm spring day of March 15, a warm news spread quietly in the soccer circle - the naturalized player Alan, who had been a unique player in Europe, was finally reunited with his family in the beautiful seaside city of Qingdao. Alan's wife and their two children finally arrived in this vibrant city after a long 36-hour journey.
Alan's wife took to social media last night to share the emotional moment, posting a photo of the family and emotionally documenting the journey. And it wasn't that long ago that the 34-year-old Alan just joined Qingdao West Coast in February to get back on the road to the Chinese Super League.
In the first two rounds of matches after joining Qingdao West Coast, Alan has been a star performer, showing a high level of athleticism in both of his substitute appearances. Especially in the last round of games against Shenhua, he nearly penetrated the opponent's goal in two shots, making fans expect the veteran to return.
