Astound! The coach of the national football team "digs treasures" on the spot, and two fierce generals surfaced!
Who would have thought that a seemingly mediocre Chinese Super League would become the "gold rush" journey of national football coach Ivankovic? On the evening of July 27, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers defeated Qingdao West Coast 2:1 at home, which not only made fans addicted, but also made Ivan shout "I really didn't expect it"!
Let's work backwards from the results to see what the mystery of this game really is.
The whistle blew at the end of the match, and Ivan had a rare smile on his face. He secretly thought in his heart: This is really "killing two birds with one stone"! In just 90 minutes, he suddenly discovered two fierce generals who could become the saviors of the national football team.
Who are these two players who have made Ivan so valuable? One is the 35-year-old "veteran" Alain, and the other is the 29-year-old "winger" tomorrow.
Although Alain is 35 years old, this game is like a chicken blood. He not only started the game but also played the whole game, and even pulled one back for Qingdao West Coast in the 57th minute. That goal is textbook: stop, dial, turn, shoot, all in one go! Seeing Ivan, he couldn't help but applaud in the stands.
You must know that in this football circle where "he is regarded as a veteran at the age of 30", the 35-year-old Alan can perform like this, which is simply a living "treasure knife is not old"! Think about it, if you bring him to the national team, then you can't make the opponent unguardable?
Let's talk about tomorrow. This former Li Tie's "favorite general" has been "snubbed" by the national team in recent years because of the former coach's "East Window Incident". But in this game, his performance on the right side can be described as "bright and blind"! The defense is strong, the offense is sharp, and it is simply one person for two people.
Seeing tomorrow's performance, Ivan couldn't help but sigh: How could such a good player be buried? If he had been spotted earlier, maybe the right side of the national football team would not have been so "stretched".
However, having said that, Ivan's trip to "dig for treasure" is not accidental. For the upcoming World Preliminary Round of 18, he has put a lot of effort into it. In the last few rounds of the Chinese Super League, almost every game must be there, just to find available talent.
Think about it, isn't the current situation of the national football team like a "bankrupt" company? And Ivan is the CEO who was invited to "put out the fire". He had to do everything he could to "tap" talent from all corners in order to get the "company" back on its feet.
Speaking of which, I have to mention an interesting phenomenon. I remember that a few years ago, the national football team was still arguing about the issue of naturalized players. Some say good, some say bad. But now? A naturalized player like Alan has become the "sweet and sweet" of the national football team. This can't help but make people sigh: the wind direction of the football circle has become really fast!
Of course, judging whether a player is suitable for the national team based on just one game is a bit hasty. However, at a time when the national football team is in urgent need of talents, Ivan's approach of "casting a wide net" is understandable. After all, who knows if the next "savior of the national football team" will be in these neglected corners?
Finally, I have to say that this game gave us a vivid football lesson. It tells us that in football, players should never be labelled as "veteran" or "outdated". Because, you never know, who will be "reborn" next on the field.
So, fans and friends, let's wait and see! Let's see if these two "unexpected joys" can really become the saviors of the national football team and bring new hope to Chinese football. After all, on the football field, miracles can happen at any time, can't they?
