Ivan's debut performance was smashed! Outrageous substitutions self-destruct the Great Wall, Zhan Jun publicly questioned it, and he will be out of class in June at the earliest
A key match in the World Preliminary Tournament ended not long ago, and the performance of the Chinese men's football team against Singapore, which is considered the weakest team in the group, once again surprised fans. They were beaten by two goals and scored twice in a row to end up with a 2-2 draw. And this game is also the debut of Croatian veteran coach Ivankovic's national football team, I didn't expect his debut to give everyone a "surprise"!
Before the start of this round of matches, the situation of the Chinese team is still very clear, we only need to beat the Singapore team twice, and draw with the Thai team at home, to lock a ticket to the round of 18. But no one expected that in the first game with the Singapore team, the Chinese men's football team dropped the chain, although in the first half of the game, the Chinese team relied on Wu Lei's two goals to successfully take a 2-0 lead, but after the rematch of Yibian, the Chinese men's football team suffered a collapse!
In the 53rd and 81st minutes, Singapore scored two goals in a row to rewrite the score to 2-2. If it weren't for the help of the referee at the last moment and let go of a foul in the penalty area of the Chinese team, then the national football team's away trip might have to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat! As for the reason for the collapse of the national football team, many fans and media people have pointed the finger at the head coach Ivankovic, many people believe that it was his outrageous substitution in the second half that led to the comprehensive loss of control of the Chinese team, and he should be fully responsible for this!
In the 74th minute of the game, Ivankovic made substitution adjustments, he replaced two attackers, Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming, and replaced Xie Pengfei and Li Yuanyi. And Li Yuanyi, is one of the few defensive players in the midfield of the national football team, after he left the field, the Chinese team's midfield was also out of control, and the opponent's attack began to become more and more threatening, and finally relied on a counterattack, successfully equalized the score!
In this regard, the famous football commentator Zhan Jun was also very dissatisfied, and he directly bombarded Ivankovic on his social media: "Is Ivankovic really better than Jankovic? At least this game is not reflected." Is the diamond-shaped position of the single midfielder reasonable? The substitutions in the second half were not good. The new coach has been in office for a short time, and he is not familiar with the players enough, and it is difficult for the players to understand and digest his tactics so quickly. ”
According to previous revelations from a number of media outlets, there is an early termination clause in Ivankovic's contract. If he fails to lead the Chinese men's football team to the round of 18, then Chinese football has the right to terminate the contract with him in advance, so as soon as June this year, Ivankovic will hand over the coaching whip and become a new victim of the "coach graveyard" of the national football team!
