The new coach of the national football team is underestimated: 70 years old is too old! It is destined to be used to take the blame, and it is only a matter of time before he gets out of class
On February 24, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the appointment of Croatian coach Ivankovic to replace Jankovic as the new coach of the Chinese men's football team. However, many media people do not seem to be optimistic about the prospects of Ivankovic coaching the national football team.
Media person Xu Zexin bluntly said that the position of national football coach is destined to be mostly used to take the blame, and everyone lowered their expectations. He wrote: "The current situation of the Chinese men's football team, the coach of the national football team is for the high-level, for some players, for the league, for the youth training, and so on. Ivan's class is destined to be just a countdown to the next class, and the only uncertainty is the length of time. Good results continue to live a little longer, otherwise you can only roll away. So, let's lower our expectations. If you focus on youth training and the league, the level of the players will go up, and it will be good to achieve naturally. ”
The well-known reporter Cheng Wenli also bluntly said: "Ivankovic takes over the national football team at this time, it really takes courage, and I can only hope that he will create a miracle!" The level of the national football team and the Chinese Super League 12-13 years ago is not the same as it is now! And with less than one month to go before the two matches of the national football team round of 36 and Singapore, can Ivan have time to get to know the players and prepare for the game? Good luck to the national football team!
Of course, there are also media people who support the Football Association's selection of Ivankovic. Reporter Pei Li posted: Ivan's level is definitely higher than Jankovic, and the key question now is. Can he get to know the players as soon as possible, form a team, gather confidence, and improve the team's combat effectiveness. Media person Li Xuan posted an article arguing that the Chinese Football Association chose Ivankovic to take over the national football team, the first, which is more reasonable. Second, the past is also explained to the public.
Ivankovic, who is about to turn 70, has coached Hannover 96, Iran national team, Dinamo Zagreb, Shandong Taishan, Dammam Cooperation, Abu Dhabi United, Persepolis, Jeddah National, Oman national team. Ivan coached Shandong Taishan from December 2009 to May 2011 and led the team to the 2010 Chinese Super League title, where he was also named Coach of the Year.
