In the long history of Chinese football, the most recent match against Hong Kong seemed to be a mirror, reflecting the deep-seated problems and challenges of the national football team. In this game, the performance of the national football team can be described as "miserable", whether it is the offensive and defensive organization or the mental outlook, it is a big disappointment. The continuous goals of the Hong Kong team are not only a breakthrough in the national football defense, but also a heavy blow to the entire Chinese football system.
However, for national football coach Jankovic, this does not seem to be the trigger for his precarious position. Unlike some moments in the history of Chinese football in the past, this national football defeat did not cause much public criticism of Jankovic. Behind this phenomenon is the profound changes in the background of Chinese football and society.
Looking back on history, Zeng Xuelin, the silver medalist in the 1984 Asian Cup and the meritorious coach of the national football team, also suffered a similar setback. But the difference is that Zeng Xuelin was criticized for the national football team's two defeats to the Hong Kong team, China, and was even threatened by extreme fans. It was the beginning of Chinese football, and the society and the media had extremely high expectations for the national football team, but the actual defeat made these expectations come to naught.
Now, Chinese football seems to have entered a new era. The development of the domestic league, the expansion of the football market, and the attention and expectations of the media and the public for the national football team have all undergone earth-shaking changes. Against this backdrop, Jankovic's situation does not seem to be as precarious as Zeng's.
It is undeniable that the national football team, under the leadership of Jankovic, is facing unprecedented challenges. From the technical and tactical level to the psychological state, from team management to player training, all problems are revealed. But the root cause of these problems is not just the coach. For a long time, the development of Chinese football has been constrained by the limitations of the system and model, from youth training to the league level, to the construction of the coaching team, there are deep-seated challenges.
Jankovic's "gold medal for exoneration" reflects to some extent the current reality of Chinese football: a sport that is trying to break free from the burden of history and find a new way out. In this process, Jankovic may only be a transitional role, and his existence and role need to be examined in the larger historical and social context.
The defeat of the national football team in this game is not only a defeat of one game, but also an exposure of the deep problems of China's football system. The weakness at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends reflects a comprehensive lack of technology, tactics and psychology. The match against Hong Kong, China, was undoubtedly a painful lesson, but it was also an opportunity for deep reflection.
The trough of Chinese football was not formed overnight. Over the years, from youth training to the construction of professional leagues, from the formation of coaching teams to the planning of overall strategies, problems have emerged one after another. The plight of the national football team is actually a concentrated embodiment of the deep-seated problems of the entire Chinese football system.
Faced with such a situation, simply putting the blame on the coach or the players will not solve the problem. In order to truly realize the rise of Chinese football, it is necessary to carry out profound reforms in the system and mechanism. This includes attaching importance to the construction of the youth training system, improving the level of professional leagues, introducing international advanced coaching concepts, and improving the quality of domestic coaching teams. Although these reform measures are not easy, they are the only way out of the trough.
In Jankovic's case, his role may be more of that of a transitional and experimenter. During the critical period of the transformation of Chinese football, Jankovic took on the task of exploring new tactics and new management methods. Although the results are not good, his experience and attempts may provide some valuable experience and inspiration for the future development of Chinese football.
In general, the current challenges and future development of the national football team is a complex and long-term process. This is not just a matter of one team or one coach, but a major event of the entire Chinese football system and even the entire sports culture. In this process, every setback is an opportunity to re-examine and adjust, and every attempt is a step forward. Let us hope that through unremitting efforts and intelligent reform, Chinese football can gradually get rid of the current trough and usher in a new future.
