Football Association high probability for the national football coach Antonio into the main candidate[suchunfei]

1-2 was reversed by Saudi Arabia, with two consecutive defeats at the bottom of the group, the start of the national football team 18 is very bad. Although there are still eight rounds of this stage of the tournament, the national football team is also psychologically prepared for consecutive defeats, but the coach Ivankovic's military has been questioned by all parties, and the voice of "dismissal" has been repeated. According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the Chinese Football Association has considered changing the coach for the team, but due to the impact of objective factors such as tight time and huge cost of changing the coach, there are not many suitable coaches for the Football Association to choose. Under such circumstances, the Football Association is likely to choose among the existing national echelon coaches and "put out the fire" for the national football team in the capacity of "transitional coach". Antonio Puche, the Spanish coach of the Under-21 national team, will be the leading candidate.

On the morning of the 10th, the relevant leaders of the Chinese Football Association made a special trip to the residence of the national football team to pump up the team at the same time, but also made clear requirements for the general manager. In other words, if the spirit of the team is not good in the China-Saudi Arabia battle, then accountability will follow. For Ivan, if the performance of the team is not satisfactory to the fans and the community, then "dismissal" can only be the only result.

The Chinese Football Association has been cautious about whether to change the coach. On the one hand, even if the national football team suffered two consecutive defeats, there are still eight rounds without a fight, in other words, Ivan does not exist "not according to the contract to complete the stage of the team task" problem. On the other hand, the various problems involved in changing the coach are complicated, and the Football Association needs to deal with the contract issues with the current coaching team, whether it can find a suitable replacement candidate in the short term is also doubtful. After all, in order to change the coach and change the coach, once the effect is not good, the team not only can not get out of the predicament, make the decision maker to change the coach, but also bear the responsibility. With only a month to go between the second and third rounds of the round of 18, the risk of rushing to change the coach is actually great.

However, from the current form, the Chinese Football Association has reached the point of having to change the coach. In addition to the pressure of public opinion and fans, the current low morale of the national football team can not be ignored. According to the data, the national football team participated in 6 games under Ivan, with a record of 1 win, 2 draw and 3 losses, and from the end of the 36 round of visitors to the South Korean team so far, 3 consecutive defeats have made the team have a certain doubt about Ivan's use of troops. If the manager is not widely trusted, then not only the dressing room will be out of control, but also the effect of the team's technical and tactical execution in the game will be greatly reduced, and this is the Chinese Football Association's most worrying.

From the perspective of various factors, the Chinese Football Association is more likely to choose a "fire line" to take over the national football team in the active national men's football team coach. Serbia coach Djurjevic of the 2005 U19 national team and Spain coach Antonio of the 2003 U21 national team are suitable candidates.

However, the U19 national football team will compete in the final stage of the U20 Asian Cup in February next year, and as the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games age-appropriate team, bear the responsibility of impact on the Olympic Games. At this moment, the selection of Djurjevic to "put out the fire" of the national football team will have a negative impact on the preparation work of the U19 national football team.

The U21 national football team will not participate in the 7th Under-23 Asian Cup qualifier until September next year, and it is worth noting that Antonio was able to be hired by the Chinese Football Association again, mainly because of his past record of leading the team is generally satisfactory. During the U20 Asian Cup last year, Antonio led the 2003 original U20 national team to the top 8, and the active international Baihelamu is one of the players Antonio reused. After coaching in the past few years, Antonio also has a considerable understanding of the situation of Chinese football.

It is understood that Ivankovic returned to Beijing on the afternoon of the 11th, and then will communicate with the Chinese Football Association. Whether the Football Association decides to change the coach, or choose what kind of new coach, the answer will soon be revealed.
