The new Ange? John Aloisi makes his mark with attacking brand of football in China

Chengdu Rongcheng are riding high in the Chinese Super League under the Australian coach, who is fast becoming a hero in the Sichuan capital

For a long time, people went to Chengdu to see the pandas, eat hot pots or visit the shrine of ancient warlord Liu Bei. Now there is another reason. John Aloisi has been in the capital of Sichuan province for just a few months now but is already being hailed as the next Ange Postecoglou.

After eight games of the Chinese Super League season, huge crowds are flocking to the Phoenix Hill Sports Park Football Stadium to see the Chinese Super League leaders, who have dropped just two points, scored 23 goals and have fans dreaming of a first title just eight years after the club came into existence.
