In the 7th round of the Chinese Super League last night, Qingdao West Coast suffered a hard-fought battle at the home of Beijing Guoan, and finally lost 1-4. Although Qingdao's performance failed to help them take away the points, the individual performance of naturalized player Alan was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the game. In particular, his direct free-kick that hit the crossbar underlined his ability to threaten up front. The coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, watched the game on the spot, and it was clear that he was impressed by Alain's performance.
Ivan's site investigation and discovery
The main purpose of Ivankovic's trip was to see first-hand how Alan performed in the competition, and Alan did not let this observation go to waste. Despite the eventual defeat on the west coast of Qingdao, Alain's lively performances, especially his free-kick skills, have once again proved that he is a threat to any opponent. This ability to create danger at critical moments is what the national football team urgently needs when pursuing a breakthrough in the international arena.
Ivan will obviously have high praise for Alain's technical ability and ability to read the game. In Qingdao's frequent attacks, Alain's shots and passes showed his potential to play a key role at national team level.
Alain's standout shot stats
In last night's game, Alain's direct free-kick hit the crossbar took his tally of shots hitting the frame of the Chinese Super League this season to three, which ranks first in the Chinese Super League, tied with Shanghai Shenhua's Malele. This kind of shooting accuracy and danger not only showcases Alain's individual skills, but also underlines his immediate threat as a goalscorer.
This statistic not only reflects the accuracy of Allan's shots, but also highlights the efficiency of his attacks up front. Such ability is especially valuable in international competitions, and can provide more scoring opportunities for the national football team against strong opponents.
The collective outburst of naturalized players
In this round of the Chinese Super League, it was not only Alan who showed excellent performances, but other naturalized players such as Fernando and Li Ke also performed significantly, and they also scored wonderful goals in this game. The collective outbreak of these naturalized players is great news for the national football team. Their skills and experience are crucial to improving the overall strength of the national team, especially in the attacking line.
As these players continue to adapt and improve their performance, the attacking power of the national football team is expected to be significantly improved in future international competitions. Their successful integration can also bring more tactical options and on-field changes to the national football team.
Alain's future
Judging from Ivankovic's watch last night, Alan is undoubtedly his biggest gain. A well-rounded striker who can pose a threat at crucial moments is invaluable to any national team. In the next national team training camp and competitions, Alan is likely to get more opportunities due to his performance in the Chinese Super League.
Through such a performance, Alan not only paved the way for his position in the national team, but also brought more hope for the future of Chinese football. Under Ivankovic's tactical system, with an attacker like Alain, the future of the national football team is undoubtedly brighter. As time goes on, we look forward to seeing a stronger and more competitive Chinese national team shine on the international stage. (Lao Qiu Super League Ball Review)
