During the Lunar New Year holiday, a group of photos of Alain spending time with his family in the United States attracted widespread attention. The former naturalized international and now free agent took to social media to share his holiday life with fans, especially during fun times at Universal's Islands of Adventure Orlando. Not only did the photos show his happy moments with his family, but they also unexpectedly revealed the good physical condition he maintained, sparking widespread speculation about the future direction of his career.
Allan's football career has taken many turns, from Brazil to China and now to the United States. Last year, he also played nine games for Fluminense in the Brazilian Liga and contributed two goals. However, with the expiration of his contract, he entered free agency status. There were rumours that he might join Qingdao Manatee in the Chinese Super League, but the talks did not seem to reach an agreement. What makes fans feel even more regretful is that despite his love for football, the national football team did not call him back to the team again.
In the newly leaked photos, Alain shows his muscular figure and good physical condition, and there is no sign of making a fortune, which is obviously the result of his long-term insistence on physical training. Although he hasn't competed in an official competition for a while, that hasn't stopped him from staying competitive. This professional attitude has been widely recognized and praised by Chinese fans, with many expressing their nostalgia for him, hoping that he will one day return to China and continue his football story.
Allan's presence in the United States has sparked speculation among Chinese fans that he may head to the MLS. Fans expect from Allan not only because of his skills and experience, but also because of his love for football and his contribution to Chinese football. They hope that Alain can once again bring vitality and hope to Chinese football like Exxon.
Allan's Chinese New Year holiday photos are not only a light-hearted holiday memory, but also a reflection of the concern and expectations for the career of the forgotten naturalized player. Although his future is still uncertain, his contribution to the history of Chinese football and the deep affection of fans for him will not change, no matter where he ends up.
