Focus on sports information and pay attention to Chinese football.
After the match with the Saudi team, the "only" job of the national football team is the issue of changing the coach.
led the team to suffer two humiliating defeats in a row, and Ivan's dismissal was almost a foregone conclusion.
The reason why it has not yet been announced is that it is likely that the specific cooperation with the new coach is being discussed.
As things stand, a new manager has emerged.
Regarding the selection of the new coach, the previous media analysis and speculation mainly include Zheng Zhi of the current Chinese coaching staff, Sun Jihai, a former celebrity, and Gao Hongbo, who has coached the national team twice.
In particular, Gao Hongbo is the best candidate to replace Ivan in the hearts of fans, but judging from the revelations of the relevant media, the new coach is still a foreign coach, and the current national football U21 head coach Antonio has been listed as a candidate for the new coach.
According to the media, Antonio has negotiated with the senior management at the headquarters of the Football Association to take over the position of head coach, and the main content of the discussion includes whether long-term training is needed.
As a Spain coach, Antonio believes that it takes a long training camp (at least 2-3 weeks) to familiarize the players with their technical and tactical play and reach the initial run-in state, otherwise it is difficult for miracles to happen.
In fact, Antonio's idea is not wrong, but if you want to train for a long time, all aspects need to be balanced, especially the Chinese Super League, which is fundamentally different from the U21 series of players.
However, since there is a change of coach and the time is very short, the Football Association should focus on the overall situation and try to meet Antonio's plan.
In this way, Ivan's dismissal from class has almost ended the suspense. This is a happy event for both the national football team and the fans, after all, the national football team is now at a low point, and if you insist on letting Ivan take it down, it is very likely to continue to lose.
Another happy event is the situation in the standings.
At present, the more realistic goal of the national football team is to hit the top four play-off opportunities, from the latest standings can be seen, although we lost two games in a row without a point, but in the whole group is not without opportunities, we are only 2 points away from the fourth place Indonesian team, that is, a goal away.
In addition, we have already played the two strongest teams in the group, Japan and Saudi Arabia, in the first two games, so we are very hopeful of picking points against Australia and Indonesia.
Of course, the "good news" on the points is still based on the hope brought by the change of coach, the change of coach is like a change of knife, and only by decisively letting the new coach coach can we help the current national football team get out of the predicament as soon as possible.
In any case, as long as Antonio takes over, it will be good news for the national football team, and Song Kai, as the head of the Football Association, can also breathe a sigh of relief and avoid continuing to be troubled by public opinion.
Will the replacement of the new coach help the national football team achieve a miracle, what do you think?
