On February 16, Beijing time, the naturalized player of the national football team, Alain, came out with new news, he has basically confirmed his return to the Chinese Super League and joined the promoted horse Qingdao West Coast. Last year, Alan was very close to joining Qingdao Manatee, but in the end due to some contract issues did not reach an agreement, he did not return to the Chinese Super League ahead of schedule.
On February 16, Zhang Xinkai, the former translator of Guangzhou Evergrande, updated his personal social media and posted a photo with Alain, whose IP territory is Zhejiang. Soon after the news was released, media person Li Pingkang revealed that if nothing else, Alan is about to join the new Chinese Super League team Qingdao West Coast.
Alain, 34, was the top scorer in the UEFA Cup and has played for Guangzhou Evergrande, Tianjin Tianhai and Beijing Guoan in the Chinese Super League. In 2022, Alain became a free agent and joined Brazilian side Fluminense, but he was not happy in Brazil. In the entire 2023 season, he made just nine appearances, becoming a fringe player for the team.
Allan is a naturalised player who has proven himself in the Chinese Super League, and according to his ability to leave the Chinese Super League, he can become the attacking core of a new Chinese Super League team. However, as he gets older and has not been systematically raced and trained for a long time, his form is the biggest concern for Qingdao West Coast.
After being promoted to the Chinese Super League, Qingdao West Coast has carried out a wide range of personnel reinforcements, absorbing Eduardo Enrique, Nelson Dalus, Varazdat Haroyan, Liu Ziming, He Longhai, Pei Shuai, Duan Liuyu, Park Shihao and many other players. It can be seen that they have a good vision for the new season.
If Alan can maintain a good competitive form at the moment, I believe it is a very good choice for Qingdao West Coast, and I believe that they can quickly reach the strength of the Chinese Super League through an off-season adjustment.
