Recently, the defeat in the group stage of the Asian Cup has made Chinese fans disappointed with Chinese football again.
Unlike the fans, who criticized the Chinese football players, the media invariably pointed the finger at the external coach of the football team, Jankovic, believing that the main reason for the defeat of this game was the coach.
The voices of these media people have sparked ridicule from the South Korean media: "This is the reason why China does not play football well, and their media always like to make excuses for them." The ridicule of the Korean media also made many Chinese fans think deeply.
Is the main reason for China's heavy defeat in the group stage of the Asian Cup really lies with head coach Jankovic? Why has the Chinese football team risen so hard in recent years?
Frequent changes of coaches, difficult to run in
Over the years, the Chinese men's football team's record has hardly improved, and fans are very worried about this, and everyone has been looking forward to Chinese football standing up as soon as possible.
But again and again, in exchange for deeper disappointment, again and again. Fans' dissatisfaction with the Chinese men's football team is accumulating, and many fans say that the Chinese football team is the most frequent coach change they have ever seen.
The dissatisfaction of the fans is indeed well-founded, you must know that in recent years, the head coach of the Chinese football coaching team has changed frequently, just like an army frequently changes their coach.
This phenomenon has led to the lack of cooperation and tacit understanding between the head coach and other coaches, and also led to the head coach's lack of thorough understanding of the entire team.
In order to develop a training method and game strategy that is suitable for the team, the head coach must be very aware of the characteristics of each player in the team and the style of the whole team.
The frequent changes in the head coach have led to these coaches being replaced from the position of head coach before they have a deep understanding of the Chinese football team.
And every coach will have their own training style, and the players of the team have just adapted to the training style of the previous coach, and the next coach has already taken over, which makes the coaches and players feel miserable.
The reason for this is that in addition to the head coach of the team, the football association that manages the team also changes its top management frequently.
Because of the poor record of the Chinese men's football team, every defeat will always lead to the layoff of some management personnel and replacement, although it can calm the anger of the fans a little, but it is very detrimental to the development of Chinese football.
Just like Jankovic, who is now the head coach of the team, the reason why he was bombarded by the media because of the loss of this game is because the run-in between this head coach and the team is not perfect.
Foreign thinking, integration difficulties
The reason why the national football team invited Jankovic to be the head coach is because he has a very brilliant resume, and he is also from a football family, and he has been exposed to football since he was a child.
Jankovic has had a very good career, and after becoming a coach, he has also shone in major European clubs, helping his team win many honors.
Most of the players on the team where Jankovic has worked have a high opinion of him, and they believe that the head coach is very approachable, will carefully understand the characteristics and strengths of each player, and patiently arrange the lineup to make everyone play to their strengths.
And because he once galloped on the football field, Jankovic can judge the various situations on the field more quickly, so as to give the players enough professional command, which also makes Jankovic famous in the industry.
Therefore, when Chinese fans learned that Jankovic was coming to China as a coach, they were still looking forward to it, hoping that this external coach could bring a different miracle to Chinese football.
However, the reality is a big surprise, after Jankovic came to the Chinese team as the head coach, the team's performance not only did not improve significantly, but also ended in a miserable defeat in this Asian Cup.
This makes fans wonder why this well-known and excellent coach can no longer play to his strengths after coming to the Chinese team.
Therefore, after this game, the media began to question Jankovic frantically, hoping to change the head coach, and bluntly said that Jankovic is not suitable to coach in the Chinese team.
However, Jankovic's defeat should be due to various factors, not just his own lack of strength. You must know that as an external coach, he has never understood the training model of Chinese football before.
Jankovic, who took office after accepting an external offer, does not have a deep understanding of Chinese football, which should be the reason why he cannot achieve the desired effect when training the team.
Jankovic's training style may be suitable for those European teams, but Chinese football has its own style, and if Jankovic copied the previous training model, our footballers would undoubtedly be very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Jankovic should not be able to copy his training model in Europe, after all, he is not the only coach in Chinese football, and some coaches do not agree with Jankovic's training method, which leads to the failure of the head coach's orders to be implemented smoothly in the team.
Chinese football has always accumulated a lot of shortcomings, and the Football Association's intervention in the team is also a big problem, even if Jankovic is the head coach, he can't change this status quo.
So now the media who are crazy about asking to replace Jankovic might as well wait a little longer and give Jankovic a little time, so that he can better integrate into the Chinese football team, so that he can give full play to his advantages and bring miracles to Chinese football.
Within the team, there are many contradictions
In addition to the discussion of whether Jankovic is suitable to continue as the head coach, fans are more concerned about why there are so many outstanding talents in the Chinese football academy, but after entering the national football team, they are always unknown to everyone.
There are also some outstanding players who have performed very dazzling in the youth academy, but they have never been able to qualify for the national football team, and there is no way to contribute to Chinese football.
In fact, this phenomenon also points to one of the deepest shortcomings of the Chinese football team, that is, the serious corruption that may exist in the team, which has a very serious impact on the team.
After entering the national football team, many good seedlings in the youth academy found that the atmosphere in the team was not as good as they were in the academy.
You must know that the decision of who to play in the game is in the hands of the coach, if you do not listen to the coach's orders, it will damage the interests of the coach, and it is likely that you will always sit on the bench in the team.
On the contrary, some players with average strength, but long sleeves and good dancing, can always gallop on the field, even if they can't get excellent results, they can be evergreen under the protection of coaches and administrators.
What's more, the contradictions within the team do not only exist between the players and the coaches, but also between the coaches.
How to arrange the training and games of the players needs to be discussed by the head coach and other coaches, but the coaches in the team are not all very good, and some coaches with a low level of professionalism are very keen to put forward their own opinions.
In the face of other people's disagreements with him, he even resorted to various means to stumble others, and did not focus on how to teach his own team members.
For a team to be successful, it needs to work together from the coach to the players so that they can get better results in training and get the most out of the game.
The Korean media ridiculed the national football team this time, although the rhetoric was infuriating, but it also pointed out the problems existing in the national football team. When we lose a game, we can't blame all the problems on the head coach, but we have to learn to examine ourselves.
Only by making up our minds to eradicate the ills can Chinese football achieve more long-term development and shine on the field. The expectations of the fans can not be disappointed.
I hope that this painful lesson can make the national football team wake up, start to eradicate the ills, let Chinese football really develop, and let those who ridicule Chinese football see the indomitable spirit of Chinese football!
