National football coach Ivan was interviewed about why he came to China to coach and confirmed that there was a "termination clause" in the contract

After leading the team to win Singapore, the national football team still maintained the hope of advancing to the round of 18, and the surge of possibilities brought confidence, adding a lot of performance points to the new coach Ivankovic. In this regard, in an interview with Croatian media, the old coach also revealed a lot of his "heartfelt words" to share with you.

Talking about the process of becoming the coach of the national football team

When talking about the question of "how to become the coach of the national football team", Ivankovic said that his good resume is the basis for being recognized. He has worked in Asia for many years and has a very good understanding of Asian football and culture, which is the point that the Chinese team looks very to when selecting the coach, and it is also his advantage.

Ivan also talked about how he has led the team to win championships (three international trophies), and has also led the team to play in two World Cups and Asian Cup, so he has rich experience, which is what the Chinese Football Association wants.

Talk about life in China

When talking about the issue of "living in China to coach", Ivankovic told everyone that his contract is signed for three years, and he will focus on studying the leagues and cups in China, and going back and forth between various cities to get information on the performance of the players. Ivan "complained" that China is too big, and the distance between cities is far farther than he imagined! Therefore, being forced to take planes and high-speed trains is a very tiring thing.

However, 10,000 said he was confident that he would complete the goal. He told reporters that he had enjoyed several Chinese Super League games and had so many fans supporting him, so his confidence in the national football team had increased a few points.

Talking about the regression of Chinese football

When talking about the problem that "the Chinese team has not improved for several years", Ivankovic said that many things in the world work like this, and sometimes it is really impossible to talk about what the problem is. However, he agreed with the reporter's question, Ivan personally explained that "Chinese football is regressing, and the magnitude is still very large", and he said that many foreign coaches he knows have left after coaching here, "This is not the right model".

Ivan said that he will work hard to train 2-4 reliable successors in China to complete the renewal of the national brand team. It can be seen that although he did not answer the question positively, he should be a little dissatisfied with the lack of success of the national football team, which is also an important reason why he believes that the national football team cannot maintain its level.

Talk about constraints

When talking about the "binding items of the contract", Ivan said that there is indeed a clause similar to "if you don't make it to the top 18, you will be dismissed", but he is very accepting of this and is used to it. It can be seen that he is still very confident that he can "keep the lower limit".

Talk about Zhang Linpeng

When talking about the issue of "Zhang Linpeng quitting the national team", Ivan said that he is a good player and a good person, and it is enough to be able to play for the national team and achieve an excellent 100+. He also had a very in-depth communication with his disciples, and after clearing up misunderstandings with each other, Zhang Linpeng will continue to contribute to the national team. Even if it's to encourage everyone from the bench.
