The 2024 season of the Chinese Super League has been fought in the 11th round, the schedule has passed one-third, the championship and relegation seem to go to two extremes, and Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua are neck and neck with the championship situation, this season's relegation competition is more complicated, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce, Changchun Yatai, Qingdao Manatee, Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen Xinpeng City, Nantong Zhiyun, Henan team, Qingdao West Coast, Wuhan Three Towns, the eight teams ranked in the bottom half of the standings, may be fighting for relegation this season.
Qingdao West Coast, which defeated Shenzhen Xinpeng City 2:1 away, after winning this key battle of relegation, the ranking of Qingdao West Coast has risen to 10th, for this season's promoted horse, it has taken the lead on the road to relegation, and the naturalized player Alan who contributed a pass and a shot is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the victory of Qingdao West Coast in this round, the former top scorer of the Europa League, although he has passed his peak with age and injury, but because of Alain's persistence and hard work, After integrating into the team's tactical system, the state has been well recovered, and the increase in playing time has also made Alan have more room to play, scoring goals is naturally a matter of course, and Alan has responded to the doubts of the outside world with an excellent performance.
Alan continues to improve his state, in addition to being an important weight for Qingdao West Coast relegation, it is also a big positive for the Chinese men's football team, Alan does not seem to have much suspense when he returns to the national football team, after all, on June 6, he faced the Thai team at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center in the round of 36 of the World Preliminary Asian Region, and the Chinese men's football team must go all out to win the opponent, and the suspension of the national football team's leading scorer Wu Lei and Fernando's strain in the league once cast a shadow on the prospects of the Chinese team. Alain's outstanding performance can undoubtedly solve the urgent needs of the national football team.
Ackerson is difficult to find a chance to play in Chengdu Rongcheng, Fernando, who plays for Shandong Taishan, was also injured and suspended not long ago, Alan is firmly in the main position on the west coast of Qingdao, Li Ke's performance in Beijing Guoan is also getting better and better, Jiang Guangtai is the mainstay of the Shanghai Port backline, and the situation of naturalized and non-naturalized blood in this season's Chinese Super League is different, except for Ackerson, who has little playing time due to injuries, the remaining four have a relatively good performance, although naturalized players have always been accompanied by more controversy, It is also an indisputable fact that the state has declined, but in the current objective environment where Chinese football is not young and difficult to have excellent players emerging, these naturalized players who have passed their peak are still an important force for Ivankovic to lead the team to break through from the top 36 of the Asian region of the World Preliminaries.
The upcoming World Preliminary Asian Round of 36 against Thailand and South Korea is a key battle to determine the direction of the Chinese men's football team in the next few years, and it is also an important game related to Ivankovic's position, the Chinese men's football team can only win the Thai team to enter the next stage of the round of 18, after all, it is almost impossible to win the South Korean team away, and it is not realistic to expect the Singapore team to stop the Thai team, and it is not realistic to hold the right to qualify firmly in their own hands. The Chinese men's football team and Ivankovic must win the Thai team at home, in this life-and-death battle, Fernando, who is currently actively recovering, is still very hopeful to catch up with this game, and whether he and Alan and Zhang Yuning can make up for the shortcomings caused by Wu Lei's absence may determine the prospects of the Chinese men's football team.
