The People's Daily published a comment on the game of the national football team: one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. The Chinese team basically walked out of the shadow of the first round of defeat in this game, and also showed a good mental outlook on the field, but failed to get a point in a good situation due to the coach's improper command.
The Chinese Football Association and Ivankovic signed a phased contract. After reaching the round of 18, Ivan's contract has been automatically extended until the end of the group stage (June next year), and if the Chinese Football Association fires Ivan now, he will pay him about 9 months' salary.
Wang Dalei said after the game: "There was a good start, there was a good scene, but the result was not very good. "I feel like every player here today didn't just want a draw and could have had a win.
On October 10, the national football team played away against Australia and on October 15 at home against Indonesia.
