In the first half of 20 19, Alan submitted an application to the Brazilian government to give up his Brazilian citizenship, and soon after that, he became a citizen of China. At that time, after completing the formalities, Alan told his teammates that he was from China, but he had not got his passport and ID card. In fact, it is normal for foreign athletes to become China citizens after helping the team as foreign aid. They worked hard in China and were recognized by the organization. At the same time, foreign athletes have learned more about China and its organizations, and hope to become citizens of China and gain more competitive opportunities.
Alan has been working hard in his business since he joined Guangzhou Evergrande on 20 15, and has helped Evergrande achieve many achievements. However, he was banned for eight games when he elbowed Liu against Tianjin on 20 18, so Evergrande introduced foreign aid paulinho and Taliska, and Alan lost his main position in Evergrande, and was later loaned to Zhonghai and Guoan by Evergrande.
Like Alan, Elkson also came to China from Brazil to join Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club. He is the same age as Allen, but he came to China before Allen. He also became a citizen of China and entered the national team, because Elkson has been in China for five years. FIFA stipulates that as long as you have lived in that country for five years, you can be recognized, meet the conditions of naturalization and represent that country. Alan has never represented any country before, so after five years in China, he fully meets the naturalization requirements, and then he can join the national team. I believe that with the participation of Allen, it will not be too difficult for China to advance to the top 40.
