Ivankovic also gave one of the most candid answers in history to the question of why he used Eckerson. He said that Ickerson is basically recovered now. Maybe he's not yet at 100% capacity for 90 minutes, but we believe that if he plays just 5 or 10 minutes, he can have a positive impact on the team. Because we don't have a lot of options in the striker position, his arrival means a lot to us.
It should be said that this is the most convincing answer. What Ivankovic is saying is:Maybe Ickxon doesn't look as strong as he used to be and is not as fit as he used to be, but his ability to change the trend of the game should not be underestimated. Even if he plays only 5 to 10 minutes, he may change the situation on the field. Iversen is certainly more trustworthy than the local internationals. So, to put it bluntly, Ivankovic is refusing to give up on Ickerson because he's betting on his individual talent to change the trend of the game.
I'd like to ask who surpasses local striker Iverson just in terms of his ability to change the trend of the game. If not, then Ivankovic made a very wise choice. Therefore, we can't refute his answer, so we have to accept it with confidence. Ivankovic's courage and Jankovic's stupidity stand out even more than former national soccer coach Jankovic's abandonment of Ickerson.
