Ivan does not keep! The 35-year-old naturalized goalscorer or faded out of the national football team, and only played 115 minutes of 0 goals in 4 games after his return

On November 22, Beijing time, a report from the "Oriental Sports Daily" said that because Ivankovic did not retain him, the 35-year-old naturalized goalscorer Alan may fade out of the national team next year.

Although the national football coach Ivankovic does not exclude naturalized players and veteran players, after taking office, he did take a "go with the flow" attitude towards older players, and the same is true for the use of naturalized players, such as Alain, who once flew back to Brazil before the end of the Chinese Super League on the grounds of physical problems, for which Ivan did not stay.

This season, Alan returned to the Chinese Super League and joined the promoted club Qingdao West Coast. After returning, as the core of the team's attacking line, Allan not only successfully helped the team relegation, but also handed over 11 goals and 4 assists in 25 games. It is precisely because of the rebound in form that Alain was able to return to the national team after 3 years.

Regrettably, the 35-year-old did not perform well in the national team. Since Ivan took over, Alan has only made four appearances. The 77-minute match against Thailand in the round of 36 was the longest game Alan played under Ivan. In the round of 18, against Japan, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, Alan only played 29 minutes, 1 minute and 8 minutes respectively, and in the total of 115 minutes in the four games, Alan did not score any goals and assists.

Because of his poor performance in the national team, coupled with the fact that he is 35 years old and cannot be selected for the list, Alan is very likely to fade out of the national team like Exxon. And his statistics for the Chinese men's football team may have to stop at 3 goals and 1 assist in 14 games.
