Head coach of the Chinese men's national football team

After the match against Saudi Arabia, some players suffered some injuries, and the match against Oman would have a corresponding position of personnel adjustment. The biggest difficulty for the players who are replaced is to adapt to the rhythm on the field. The overall strength of the team will not have much impact.

Omani coach Ivankovic, who led Shandong Taishan to the Chinese Super League championship, led the team to a 1-1 draw with the Chinese men's football team in the first leg of the two teams, making the Chinese team gradually distant from the goal of qualifying for the World Cup. Now he leads Oman to fourth in the group, with excellent defensive counter-attacks, they have also beaten Japan and drawn with Australia before. Facing the Chinese team, Ivankovic did not hide the slightest desire to win: "Against China will be the last game of the World Preliminary Round, although we are out, but hope to have a good performance in front of our fans." The players are well aware that this is going to be a difficult game. We now have 11 points and hope to get 14 points and use that to improve our rankings. If we can beat the Chinese team, for us, whether it is FIFA rankings or Asian rankings, we will be improved. ”

As Ivankovic said, while this match will have little impact on the group rankings of the World Cup, it will have a direct impact on the rankings of both teams in FIFA and AFC. Currently, The Chinese men's football team ranks 9th in Asia and Oman 10th; FIFA ranks China 75th and Oman 79th. If the national football team remains unbeaten against Oman, it will maintain the 9th position, but if the Chinese team loses to Oman, the Asian ranking order of the two teams will be transposed. The further decline in the international ranking will also directly affect the division of the Chinese team's position in the next World Preliminary Round, so this game is not as meaningful as it seems, but has a profound impact on the national football team.

The national football team fought with Saudi Arabia, and veteran Arthur Junmin ushered in his 35th birthday. Being able to play as a main player for 45 minutes is already lucky for the last standout of the "85 Golden Generation". In addition to Arthur Junmin, for veterans such as Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi, Yu Dabao, Tan Long, Wang Dalei, etc., it is not realistic to rely on them to impact the 2026 World Cup, especially in the national football team that has begun to update, in addition to many young forces. As a result, many of these veterans have only the opportunity to represent the national football team in the World Preliminary Round, and the only thing left is this match with Oman. Therefore, fighting for an expected victory also has a special meaning for them.

At the pre-match press conference, when someone asked why the national football team did not qualify for the World Cup, the answer given by Li Xiaopeng's guidance was that the strength was not enough.
