Recently, the head coach of the Chinese soccer national team about
Ivan (name)
Kovic and the players
Wei Shihao (1988-), Chinese footballer
The news that there is a conflict between the two has attracted a lot of attention on the internet. According to the analysis of the blogger Chinese Super League Observer, Ivan does not seem to like the type of player Wei Shihao, especially the latter's performance in defense.
Wei Shihao, as one of the young players, is highly regarded for his outstanding offensive ability. However, at the national team level, defense is equally important and any player must be involved in the team's defensive system. Ivan, as a coach, naturally has higher requirements for the all-roundness of his players. Therefore, Wei Shihao's deficiencies in defense may be one of the reasons leading to his conflict with Ivan.
There are no privileges for anyone in the national team. Every player needs to do their best on the field, especially on the defensive end. Even a world-class player like Lionel Messi needs to put in the right amount of effort on defense. Therefore, if Wei Shihao wants to get more chances and trust in the national team, he has to overcome his deficiencies in defense.
Despite Wei Shihao's talent and traits, if he can't improve defensively, he will struggle to make a breakthrough under either Ivan or any other manager. Only when he is able to excel in both offense and defense can he truly realize his potential and take his place in the national team.
To sum up, the conflict between Ivan and Wei Shihao is not empty, but stems from the defense problem. Only if Wei Shihao can face up to his deficiencies and continue to improve his defensive abilities in training and games, he will be able to achieve more with the national team.
