Ivan's inspection of the National Olympic team was not for nothing, and he continued to "pick people" in the workers' stadium on the 21st, focusing on Alain

As the current coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivankovic arrived in Doha, Qatar on the evening of April 15, local time, and then went to watch the match between the Chinese Olympic team and the Japanese Olympic team and the South Korean Olympic team in the final stage of the Paris Olympic preliminary round. Although the Chinese Olympic team did not create a miracle, in both games, the team's performance was remarkable. Players such as Bai Helamu, Tao Qianglong, Xie Wenneng and Liu Zhurun showed a certain amount of creativity in the game, and they may become a useful addition to the national team squad in Ivan's eyes.

According to Beijing Youth Daily, Ivankovic left Doha in the early morning of the 20th local time and flew to Beijing after watching the matches between China and South Korea. If there is no accident, he will go to Beijing Gongti on the evening of the 21st to watch the Chinese Super League Beijing Guoan's home match against Qingdao West Coast, and the preparations for the new training camp of the national football team and the two world preliminaries in June will also enter the substantive stage.

After leading the national football team to participate in the home match against Singapore in the round of 36, Ivankovic and three compatriot assistants returned to Zagreb, Croatia on March 29, Beijing time, to apply for a work visa to China. Due to the complexity of the specific work procedures and the fact that it will take a considerable period of time to implement, Ivankovic went to Doha on the 15th to prepare to select young players for the national football team by watching the two important matches of the Chinese Olympic team in the Olympic preliminaries.

Objectively speaking, despite the defeat of the national Olympic team in both games, Ivankovic's trip to Doha was not for nothing. For example, Xie Wenneng, the striker of the National Olympic team, who has been recruited by him to the national team, as well as players such as Bai Helamu, Tao Qianglong, Liu Zhurun, and Jia Feifei have all performed relatively well in the preliminaries of this Olympic Games. Faced with the reality of the overall lack of high-quality talents in Chinese football, Ivankovic also had to "pull out the general" in the "man" and supplement the new force to enter the national team.

After Ivankovic returns to China, the first Chinese Super League match he will watch will be the seventh round of Guoan's home match against Qingdao West Coast. In addition to key players such as Li Ke, Li Lei, Lin Liangming, and Zhang Yuning, Alan is also the focus of Ivan's naturalized striker who plays for the West Coast team.

According to the plan, the national football team will regroup as soon as the end of May. If nothing else, there will be some "new faces" in the national football team coached by Ivan, including Allan.
