Antonio's point is actually true, but if there is to be a long training period, there has to be a balance in all areas, especially in the Premier League, which is inherently different from the situation with the U21 series.
However, since there is a time crunch to change the manager, the FA should put the bigger picture first and try to accommodate Antonio's plans.
This pretty much ends the suspense of Ivan's dismissal. This is a happy thing for the NFC and its fans, after all, the NFC is at a low point right now, and if one keeps Ivan going, it will likely continue to lose consecutively.
Another happy event is the standings situation.
At the moment, the more realistic goal for the national soccer team is to influence the chances of the top four in the play-offs. As you can see from the latest standings, although we have lost two consecutive games without a point, we are not without a chance in the whole group. We are only two points away from fourth-placed Indonesia, that is, one game away.
In addition, we have finished our first two matches against the two strongest teams in the group, Japan and Saudi Arabia, so we are very hopeful of scoring in our next matches against Australia and Indonesia.
Of course, the "good news" in terms of points is still based on the hope that a coaching change brings. Changing coaches is like changing knives. Only by decisively putting a new coach in charge can we help the national soccer team to get out of this predicament as soon as possible. If we put this in Ivan's time, it's basically hard to improve.
Either way, Antonio's taking over is good news for the national soccer team. Song Kai, who is the leader of the FA, can also breathe a sigh of relief and avoid continued pressure from public opinion.
Can a new coaching change help the National Football League achieve a miracle?
