Against Japan, Ivan's fanatical self-confidence, fainting strokes and overestimation of the strength of the players in the team directly led to the friction of being pressed to the ground by the opponent.
After the match, the media broke the news that there has been a national football team in the group "scolding", bluntly Ivan tactical old-fashioned, simply a charlatan.
With generals at odds and a dismal record, Ivan's dismissal seemed inevitable.
And the main reason why it hasn't been decisive yet is because of the rushed timing.
In four days, the national soccer team will face Saudi Arabia at home, and there is no time to adjust the head coach. Simply because no one expected Japan to lose so badly in their first match, and even if the coach was changed, no replacement could be found in three or two days.
However, as stated in the media, the coaching change process should have already been initiated and is likely to enter the coaching re-selection phase. It's only a matter of time before Ivan is dropped or most likely within a week. Unless the home side can beat or equalize with the mighty Saudis, the chances of a miracle are almost nil.
There's even the possibility of another fiasco with a Japan-esque team.
Now that Ivan's dismissal is imminent, who will be the most suitable replacement?
Answer: before maybe head coach Gao Hongbo.
At the moment, there are two main reasons why Gohonbo is the most suitable replacement:
First, Gao Hongbo, as a domestic coach, is very familiar with the characteristics of domestic players, so he can quickly find the strongest starting lineup. If you look for a high-level foreign coach, it simply does not allow time, because the third game against Australia is only one month, life is not familiar with the foreign coach is afraid that even the environment is not familiar with, let alone the players.
Secondly, the current national football team lacks Gao Hongbo's purity of soccer the most.
Why? As we all know, this two-year sports counterfeiting almost emptied the former top management of the Football Association, and Gao Hongbo, as the former deputy leader of the Football Association, in the first and second hand and all the bigwigs fell out of the quagmire, which shows that he is "loyal" to Chinese soccer.
However, in front of the FA is how to persuade the local famous coach "regardless of the past" to come back to the mountain. After all, once Gao Hongbo was also misunderstood and "hurt" very deeply.
