There is a breaking news coming from Chinese soccer, on October 9 at 8:00 am Beijing time. The news concerns whether the Chinese national soccer team will make it to the World Cup. In an interview with the media, Jankovic made an important statement. He said that he is confident that the Chinese national soccer team will be able to enter the World Cup in 2026. He also mentioned that there is an equally confident group of people in the team he leads. Such a situation is obviously a positive sign for the Chinese national soccer team.
As we all know, due to the poor performance after the dismissal of Li Xiaopeng, Jankovic became the national soccer coach, initially thought that Jankovic will make the national soccer team change, but Jankovic's choices and tactical layout has been questioned, in the previous warm-up matches, Malaysia, it can be said that, in the 8.5 World Cup quota in Asia, the national soccer team would like to enter the World Cup again, obviously is not easy, but Jankovic is still on the national soccer team full of confidence.
In response, Jankovic said, "I'm confident going into the World Cup. I have a confident group of people under me, not just players. We will do our best in order to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. "Jankovic also said that Wang Dalei will have a chance to play in the next two warm-up matches against Vietnam and Uzbekistan, and it is up to Wang Dalei whether he can play or not.
From Yankovic's words, it can be seen that Yankovic believes that the national soccer team can enter the 2026 World Cup because the coaching staff of the national soccer team and the players of the national soccer team are confident. Although Yankovic did not disclose any specific information, this situation not only made the Chinese national soccer team feel excited, but also made the national soccer team members such as Wu Lei, Wang Dalei and Eckerson feel relieved, and the fans also expressed their opinions.
Some fans said: "Having confidence and strength are two different things, but with 8.5 places, the chances are still there, come on! Another fan said: "If we can make it to the top 18, I think the national soccer team will have a 10% chance to enter the World Cup. But now you can't even win against Malaysia or Vietnam, and you want to win against Thailand? Still want to enter the World Cup?"
Of course there are fans who express this: "I understand that Jankovic's words are a bit disingenuous, but the likelihood of the national soccer team making it to the World Cup is slim and very low, but I have a glimmer of hope in every World Cup cycle, and even though every time I go from disappointment to despair, every new cycle is a chance to start over, and I would like to give my faith once again! If Yankovic says he doesn't have the confidence to play in the World Cup, then he should just be sacked. What kind of team is there to lead if you don't have confidence?
