In the 6th round of the new season of the Chinese Super League, the promoted horse Qingdao West Coast challenged the Cangzhou Lions. In the end, after a fierce battle of more than 90 minutes, the away Qingdao West Coast lost 2:3 to the Cangzhou Lions, which were in full form, and suffered the third defeat of the new season.
Although Qingdao West Coast lost the game, it also gained a gratifying discovery, that is, the form of the naturalized player Alan who has just joined the new season has recovered visibly, and one game is better than another. It is believed that it will not be long before the former Europa League Golden Boot will be completely restored to his former best form in the Chinese Super League.
In the last round against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Alan scored his first goal since returning to the Chinese Super League. And against the Cangzhou Lions, Alan continued the good form of the last game, although he did not score, but sent an assist that highlighted his football skills. Just six minutes into the opening period, Alain dribbled the ball up front, and he saw that Biuquier, who was in a better position, decisively sent the assist, who lived up to Alain's wonderful goal, and scored the opening goal for Qingdao West Coast with a low shot.
This assist, from the football awareness of the ability to read the game to the lethal passing action at key moments, highlights Allan's good creativity in the front, and it can be seen that the naturalized ace has completely come out of the previous slump in the Brazilian league. And as his form gradually improved, Qingdao West Coast can be regarded as gaining his own frontcourt offensive core.
Alain's gradual improvement in the Chinese Super League is not only good news for the west coast of Qingdao, but also a great good news for the Chinese men's football team, which is currently weak in the forward.
As we all know, the round of 36 of the World Preliminary Championship will continue to be played in June, and at that time, the Chinese men's football team will encounter a very difficult opponent, that is, the Thai men's football team, which has made great progress. The Chinese men's football team has finished the first 4 group stage games, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points, temporarily ranking second in Group C, and the Thai team chasing behind is only 3 points behind the Chinese men's football team. In order to get out of the group and advance to the top 18 of the world preliminary round, the Chinese men's football team must defeat the Thai team in this game, otherwise, it will lose the initiative to qualify.
The bad news is that the national football team's leading striker Wu Lei has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended, and he will definitely not be able to play, in this case, the national football coach Ivankovic must find a replacement for Wu Lei. Alain's state continues to recover, undoubtedly making Ivankovic smile, whether it is the dominance in front of the goal, or the creativity in the front, a state of getting better Alan can be compared with Wu Lei, as long as Alan maintains his current state, he is the best replacement for Wu Lei in Ivankovic's mind. With Alan here, Ivankovic will play against the Thai men's football team in June, and he will have no worries.
