Standing at 5ft 4in, Alan might have been one of the smallest players in the tournament but don’t let his height fool you as his sublime skills can embarrass even the best of players. Arriving in India as the next best thing from South America since Neymar, Alan single-handedly sparked a comeback against tournament favourites Germany in the quarterfinal to win the game 2-1.

Alan is a typical Brazilian playmaker who is fast on the ball and gifted with two quick feet. Alan’s agent has already been spotted with the Florentino Perez in Spain, sparking rumours that the player might join his compatriot Vinicius Junior at the Bernabeu.
