In addition to Qatar, which is considered an Asian powerhouse, teams like Tajikistan and Lebanon are third-rate in Asia, even so, the national football team still failed to seize the opportunity. In the first two games, the national football team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan and Lebanon, and in the crucial third game, the national football team lost 0-1 to the host Qatar, scored 2 points in 3 games, and did not score a goal, which can be called the worst national football team in history.
After the game, domestic media and reporters condemned head coach Jankovic, and the famous Huang Jianxiang said that it is necessary to change the coach as soon as possible, and if the national football team cannot enter the top 18 of the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, this is really a circuit breaker disaster. And the commentator Su Dong changed his calm personality in the past, scolded on social media, and was really angry, "Why can't you blame Jankovic, our players are not good, we really don't have people, but Zhang Linpeng doesn't fight, Xu Xin doesn't fight, Jiang Guangtai doesn't fight, Zhang Yuning doesn't fight, Wei Shihao doesn't fight."
It is reported that Jankovic has a high probability of leaving class, he has returned to Serbia after saying goodbye to the national football players, and the national football team is also ready to change the coach, and Cui Kangxi is one of the main candidates. Just recently, former women's football coach Jia Xiuquan also let go, he was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, during which Jia Xiuquan criticized and questioned Jankovic's coaching, which was very sharp.
Regarding the performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup, Jia Xiuquan talked about three aspects. First, the players have not adjusted their physical and psychological condition, and no matter how bad the national football team is, it will not be the level reflected in these three games, and it is impossible to see what tactical play the team has, and the preparation is very inadequate. Second, the national football team actually had a chance to break the goal, but it did not have a clear attack or defense, and did not grasp the opponent's defensive weakness in the first two games. Third, the players are also a little nervous, as for Wu Lei's ball, if he is allowed to play 10 times now, he should be able to score, but for some reasons, the level has not been played.
There is no doubt that Jia Xiuquan pointed the finger at Jankovic, believing that the latter was not well prepared and did not meet the requirements for coaching. Jia Xiuquan is a famous Chinese football legend, he also coached the Chinese women's football team in 2021, but in the Tokyo Olympics, the women's football team suffered a rout, scoring 6 goals and conceding 17 goals in 3 games in the group stage, although it drew 4-4 with Zambia, but whether it was a 0-5 defeat to the Brazilian women's football team or 2-8 by the Dutch women's football team, it is unacceptable.
After Jia Xiuquan was in the Tokyo Olympics, his contract with the Chinese Football Association expired, and then he stopped coaching, and then Shui Qingxia took over. Jia Xiuquan is now at home, he knows Chinese football very well, and has coached the Chinese women's football team twice.
