Ivan's dismissal is a problem before the football Association leaders demanded that he must play in spirit[suchunfei]

 

After losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia, the Chinese players, led by captain Wu Lei, walked slowly to a phalanx of home fans at Barracuda Bay Stadium. Although the encouragement of "continue to fight, raise your head" echoed throughout the stadium, there were still fans Shouting "class" at the national football coach Ivankovic. Two consecutive defeats made the Chinese team Mired in the unfavorable situation of the bottom of the 18-strong group, although in this game, the Chinese team was out of blood, but the question of "improper use of troops" still let Ivankovic into a crisis of confidence. In the post-match press conference, Ivan did not give a positive answer to the question of "whether the class is over". In other words, the decision of whether to change the coach is in the hands of the Chinese Football Association.

  Had it not been for Saudi Arabia's Kadesh's final goal, the Chinese team could have accepted the result of 1 point at home. But precisely because the team made the same defensive misplacement mistake as the goal conceded in the first round, Kadesh headed home twice. The manner in which the goal was conceded, along with the team's failure to make timely changes to strengthen the attack in the final stages of the game, also intensified the outside world to question Ivan's use of troops. "If Alan and Lin Liangming had been replaced early, the Saudi team with declining physical strength would not have had so much space to fight back", similar comments were repeated after the game.

   Is Ivan out of class? This almost became the most wanted answer of the media reporters at the press conference, so that when a media reporter directly threw the question to Ivan himself, there were peers who applauded.

   But Ivankovic was undeterred by the spectacle, saying: "That's not a question for me to answer." He then added: "China's performance was better than in the first match."

    Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that on the morning of the match between China and Saudi Arabia, the main leaders of the Chinese Football Association made a special trip to the residence of the national football team, and at the same time, they also put forward the more specific requirements of "playing spirit". From the feedback of the team, this is both encouragement and a serious warning - if the Chinese team can not play the home momentum in this game and improve the mental outlook, then Ivan, as the head coach, may have to take responsibility in the way of "class".

    After the game between China and Saudi Arabia, the main leaders of the Chinese Football Association went to the lounge to visit the whole team and asked the coaching team and players to seriously summarize the gains and losses of the game. It should be noted that although the Chinese team with two consecutive defeats is at the bottom of the group, the Australian team and the Indonesian team in the same round drew 0-0, respectively, with 1 point and 2 points, which proves that the competitive situation in Group C is complicated from the beginning, and if the Chinese team continues to develop well, it is still possible to win points in the match with the lower team in the same group.

   The Chinese Football Association is also cautious about whether to change the coach. In addition to paying attention to the voice of public opinion, the Football Association also needs to consider many factors such as whether the candidates can be in place in time, the price of cooperation and the timing of the change of coach. Since there is a full month between the end of the game and the third round of the national Football team's visit to Australia, the international players will return to the professional league next, so the Chinese Football Association can settle down after the game to consider whether it is necessary to change the coach as soon as possible.
