Didn't Jankovic know the former manager of the national football team in advance? At the media meeting after taking office, some words were too similar to the former Li Tie!
At the press conference, a national football training uniform faced the magnesium light, although it was not like the former national football coach Li Tie, he was in a suit and was full of spirit, but some words were so familiar.
Perhaps he also paid attention to the voice of the domestic media in advance, and his biggest doubt about himself is that he does not have a prominent coaching resume, or even much coaching experience in international competitions.
Once a person lacks something, he shows something! Jankovic clearly possesses this human weakness as well.
Talking about his resume, he first highlighted his 22-year coaching career, but he moved out such an embarrassing experience after lackluster international experience!
He said he played in the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 as part of Antic's coaching staff and at the age of 39 he has already managed four international matches thanks to a red card in his final match as Serbia manager.
This far-fetched coaching experience is obviously not too convincing, and will only amplify his shortcomings again. Apparently he realized this again and went on to say what he thought about the Chinese players.
Similarity 1: They all know the Chinese players
"For the past four and a half years, I have been the head coach of the 99-year-old national team, and my past work has not only examined players in this age group, but also the Chinese Super League A and some of the second division competitions, so I basically have the information of the Chinese national team players."
I don't have enough coaching experience, but I know Chinese football and Chinese players well enough to hear that this place is not familiar.
At the inaugural meeting, Li Tie said more confidently: I know the best players in China very well, and I think no one in China knows this batch of Chinese players better than me, which is one of my advantages.
The meaning of the two is basically the same, but Yankovic, who is slightly stronger than Li Tie in his heart, is a little more conservative.
Similarity 2: Regardless of whether indigenous or naturalized, it is treated equally
Naturalized players have always been a topic that Chinese football cannot avoid recently. The use of naturalized players has also sparked discussions and heated discussions at the social level. For this issue, Yankovic also basically formed a tacit understanding with Li Tie.
"First of all, I don't distinguish between any players, in terms of naturalized players, I would like to thank Chengdu Rongcheng for contributing to Chinese football, bringing Axon back to China, and giving us more choices."
Li Tie was more direct at the beginning, and the new and old naturalized players who were willing to dedicate everything to the country were treated equally, whether naturalized players, old players or young players, they had to compete for positions.
Obviously, Li Tie did not do what he said, and the use of the selection of international footballers to use power for personal gain has been responded to and punished. We hope that Jankovic will learn from this.
Similarity 3: The goal is the World Cup
Under constant pressure from the media, Jankovic said that since there are 8.5 places in the World Cup, we must go all out to enter the World Cup.
Although Li Tie did not have the media to set a trap for him, he explained his national team goals with his dreams with impassioned and fierce enthusiasm.
The best time of my life was playing in the World Cup in my hometown of Shenyang, and I was lucky enough to play all 3 World Cup matches. Hope to enter the World Cup again with Chinese football.
Jankovic apparently did not know much about his resume and deeds as the previous manager, and was promoted to the position of national football manager, and it is clear that he is not prepared for this.
And the well-known football player Xu Jiang watched Jankovic's debut speech and issued two doubts of his own:
How to explain Li Shuai's selection?
For Jankovic, he said that he has information on all players in China. So shouldn't Li Shuai, who only played twice this season, be selected for the national team?
Due to a contract dispute with Dalian Renren, Li Shuai transferred to Shanghai Port very tortuously, but due to various injuries, he only played 2 times for Dalian Port. But Tong Lei, Ji Xiang and others who were very vocal were selected for the national team.
The goal of the national football team is selected
Regarding Jankovic's goal of impacting the 2026 World Cup, Xu Jiang frankly said that many coaches of the Chinese men's football team did not wait for the Asian Cup to leave class because of their poor results in the Asian Cup, and his primary goal is to consider how to qualify for the Asian Cup group.
In the past 20 years, first of all, Zhu Guanghu did not qualify from the 2007 Asian Cup team and left class early; This was followed by Gao Hongbo, who failed to lead the national football group to the 2011 Asian Cup, and was replaced by Camacho on the eve of the World Qualifiers, and the reason given by the Chinese Football Association was that the results of the Asian Cup were too poor.
In the current environment of Chinese football, it is not only the little-known Jankovic, that is, Lippi is coming again, no matter what he says, he will be singled out for problems, but as long as the national team led by him has improved its mental outlook, there will always be Chinese fans to give their support and love!
