There is no doubt that the internationals recommended by the Chinese coaching staff may not be fully in line with Ivankovic's intentions once there is opposition from the fans, and there may be some personal grudges mixed in. We can continue to observe. As a matter of fact, as far as time is concerned, Ivankovic really did not have enough time to choose the players for the national soccer team during the two rounds of matches against Singapore in March. Perhaps the first training session of the national soccer team was based mainly on recommendations.
Ivankovic, who has been coaching in Asian soccer for a long time, knows the level of Asian soccer. He believes that if the Chinese players perform well in the AFC Champions League, then they are certainly capable of meeting the challenge of the Chinese men's soccer team in the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, if you choose to scout several international players from Shandong Taishan in the AFC Champions League, you will be reusing Shandong Taishan players.
As for whether the players recommended by the Chinese coaching staff will be rejected? Personally, I don't think so because it wasn't difficult for the national soccer team to win the two matches against Singapore in March. Moreover, when the new coach reports for duty for the first time, he still needs to sell some favors to the FA. Moreover, the notice issued by the FA clearly states that the coaching staff of the national soccer team will be reshuffled after the March matches.
