The relegation team of the Chinese Super League (CSL) last season has introduced another top scorer from a Champions League team, which is a sign that Chinese football is truly bouncing back. This is Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's acquisition of Sackaria from the top-ranked Austrian Bundesliga club, who is the top scorer of the Austrian Cup and his team, Graz Storm, also participates in the Champions League. He is undoubtedly a player of the same level as Alan, the next big name in the CSL. Alan once won the silver boot in the Austrian Bundesliga and was also the top scorer in European leagues. After coming to the CSL, he achieved great success and even became an important naturalized national player in Chinese football. In addition, another Austrian Bundesliga top scorer, Soriano, also achieved success with Beijing Guoan, becoming a high-value-for-money shooter in the CSL. Now, Sackaria's abilities are even more comprehensive, making him very promising. You can tell from these three details that this foreign aid will not disappoint. First, in the 21-22 season, he scored 13 goals in a single season in the Austrian Bundesliga, finishing in the top four of the league's scoring list. Before and after that season, he scored 42 goals in three years, and later he even won the golden boot in the Austrian Cup, ensuring his goal-scoring ability.

Upon the release of this news, fans were in an uproar; some felt sorry, others were angry, and there were those who questioned whether the investment in naturalized players was worth it. Behind this incident, is it a special personal choice by Alan, or does it reflect issues with our naturalization policy itself? To understand Alan's "departure" journey, we must start with his early performance. This Brazilian-born player was introduced by the Chinese Football Association as a naturalized player in 2019 and was one of the top stars at the time. With superior physical conditions and delicate footwork, he was expected to help the national team address its weak frontline. Indeed, he had shown certain capabilities and contributed many crucial goals for the national team. However, in recent years, Alan's attitude has taken a sharp turn for the worse. From previously responding positively, to later citing physical fitness issues to reject call-ups, and even not returning to China after the end of the CSL season, it seems that his dedication is not very "deep."
