Ivankovic spoke out, sitting on the scandal of infighting in the Asian Cup of the national football team, and Jankovic was really unjust!
Soon after, the Chinese men's football team will once again start its journey of the World Preliminary Tournament and attack towards the goal of returning to the World Cup. Prior to this, the well-known domestic media "Xinhua News Agency" specially conducted an exclusive interview with the new coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, in which the Croatian coach inadvertently broke the news, confirming the previous scandal of the national football team's infighting!
Fans who follow Chinese football may know that in the Asian Cup held at the beginning of the year, the Chinese team was eliminated early in three group stage games, creating the worst record in the history of the Asian Cup. In this regard, many fans pointed the finger at the then national football coach Jankovic, because his on-the-spot employment was not only quite controversial, but also deliberately excluded naturalized players, which ultimately led to the fiasco of the national football team.
The international player who clashed with Jankovic is Li Ke, a naturalized player who plays for Beijing Guoan. According to a number of domestic media earlier revelations, due to being late for the training session, Jankovic directly punished Li Ke and expelled him from the national team, as long as he reigned for one day, it seems impossible for Li Ke to be selected for the national football team again! But no one expected that only a month later, Jankovic was forced to leave class due to poor performance, and the contradiction between him and Li Ke came to an end.
After the veteran coach Ivankovic took over, he recruited Li Ke as soon as possible. However, considering that Li Ke has just recovered from injury and has not yet adjusted to his best physical condition, Ivankovic did not include Li in the final squad. Regarding this decision, Ivankovic said in an interview: "Li Ke was injured at the beginning of the season, and he is not at his best. But what can be said now is that he has completely gotten rid of the unpleasant events that happened before in the national team!"
And Ivankovic's statement also directly confirmed the scandal of infighting between Li Ke and Jankovic. led the team to a poor record, coupled with a break with the players, Jankovic's dismissal is also logical. Different from Jankovic's abandonment and naturalization, in the new national team, Ivankovic has recruited a total of 4 naturalized players, except for Li Ke, who missed the final squad, the remaining Jiang Guangtai, Exxon and Fernando, all of whom were selected into the 23-man squad. They are also expected to use goals or assists in the game against Singapore to help the Chinese men's football team continue to move forward!
I hope that this brand-new national team can sweep away the slump of the Asian Cup and return to the track of victory! Come on, Chinese team!
