After the national soccer team was promoted to the top 18 by the Singaporean goalkeeper, the first 2 rounds of 18 exposed the serious shortcomings of Ivanovic's clinical sluggishness. The first round of 0-7 away defeat to Japan, technology is not as good as people, nothing to say; the second round of 1-2 at home by the 10 people Saudi Arabia reversal, a little over the top. The national soccer team took the lead in the 14th minute (Saudi oolong) and played an extra man in the 19th minute (Saudi red card). The result? Faced with the advantage of playing an extra man, Ivankovic couldn't make the right clinical choice. It wasn't until he was killed off in the 90th minute that he remembered to replace Alan and Lin Liangming. On the pitch, many international players had lost their stamina or he had failed. Anniversary.
According to the latest report from Tianjin media outlet Tonight, due to the time constraints, it is difficult for the Football Association to find a new coach suitable for the national soccer team, so it is very likely that Ivankovic will continue to coach the national soccer team to play the remaining eight matches of the Top 18.
According to Tonight's analysis of Ivankovic's retention in the National Football League, there are three general reasons:
First of all: the schedule is intense and there is no time to screen new coaches! The next 18 is next month and the FA has no time to screen new coaches. And the U19 and U21 national soccer head coaches Djurdjevic and Antonio can only play the role of fire-fighting and can't coach the national soccer team for a long time. Secondly, there is no chance for the World Cup! In fact, fans, media and the FA are well aware that talking about the 2026 World Cup in the USA and Canada with the current strength of the national soccer team is a foolish dream. With that kind of athleticism, they simply can't advance to the World Cup, so it makes little sense to change coaches midway through the Top 18. Third, the cost of terminating the contract is high! Before the end of the Top 18, Ivankovic still has a 9-month contract with the national soccer team, with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, which means that the FA would need to pay 9 months' salary, about 8.8 million yuan, to fire Ivankovic. From a Jidao perspective, Ivankovic is a 70 year old man chosen by the FA itself who must finish coaching in tears. He always has 442 formations, that's eating the same old food and not thinking ahead. Maybe coaching the national soccer team is Ivankovic's last job and he can earn a little. Why should he resign? There's no excuse for following the contract. Pot there is no clause in the FA's selection and contract setup for automatic termination of contract for poor performance. The Chinese men's soccer team lost a real upside by the FA keeping Ivankovic in charge. With Ivankovic's tactics and fielding ability, it really wasted the best training opportunity for the players to play good intensity international matches in the Top 18.
