A few days ago, according to the Beijing Youth Daily, it was confirmed that Alan returned to the national football team to play the Thai team, which is already a sure thing. Alain, the naturalized striker, was officially in place, which surprised many fans. If nothing else, Alan will be the starting starter of the national football team's home game against Thailand, and will play alongside Zhang Yuning. Alan used to play for the Guoan team and played many league games with Zhang Yuning. From this point of view, Alan and Zhang Yuning can reach a tacit understanding with a little run-in.
Alan is also a new naturalization recruited by Ivankovic for the national team, and he has not been in the national team for a long time. When Jankovic was coaching the national football team, he did not recruit Alan into the national team. In order to return to the national football team, Alan chose to return to the Chinese Super League to join the promoted horse Qingdao West Coast. Alan performed well on the west coast of Qingdao and left a very deep impression on both the national football team and Qingdao fans.
Therefore, Alan deserves to be entrusted by the national football coach Ivankovic. It is worth mentioning that as soon as Ivankovic took over the national football team, Alan has hopes of entering the national team. At that time, Ivankovic sent an invitation to Allan to come to the national team to help him. Alain considered that he had just returned to the Chinese Super League and had not yet gained consistent playing time, so he could not adjust to his best condition.
After thorough consideration, Alain politely declined Ivankovic's invitation. Fortunately, Alan had a good performance when he represented Qingdao West Coast during this time. Whenever the team is at a stalemate in a game, Alain is always the first to step up. Therefore, there is no problem with Alain's form, he is officially playing as a starter in the national football team, and there should be no major problems.
Alain cherishes playing for the national football team in the 2026 World Preliminary Tournament, because this may be the last World Preliminary Tournament of his career. If Alan can help the national football team reach the World Cup in the 2026 World Preliminary Tournament. Then, Alain will hope to represent the national football team in the World Cup and make up for the biggest regret of his career. I believe that the former Europa League Golden Boot will not disappoint everyone in the future performance of the national football competition.
