Chen Xuyuan was arrested for the seventh day, but the Football Association is still functioning normally. According to the latest news on the CFA's official website, Du Zhaocai presided over a meeting of the middle-level cadres of the Association and gave important instructions at the meeting.
As we all know, with the successive arrests of Liu Yi, Chen Yongliang and Chen Xuyuan, the credibility of the FA has been declining. After Chen Xuyuan's arrest, Du Zhaocai, who temporarily presided over the work of the Association, first adjusted the publicity department of the Association, and Yan Zhanhe presided over the publicity, in an effort to change the trend of public opinion and remedy the image of the Association.
In this important meeting just held by the CFA, Du Zhaocai once again said that we should insist on taking the case as a lesson, using the case as a catalyst for reform, using the case as a catalyst for governance, strengthening discipline, and strengthening the style of construction. Du Zhaocai also gave important instructions on the preparation of men's and women's soccer, league access, youth training and other work.
It is worth mentioning that after Chen Xuyuan's arrest, Du Zhaocai has finalized a new coach for the national football team, which is to let Jankovic replace Li Xiaopeng. According to Li Xuan, editor-in-chief of Soccer Daily, Du Zhaocai decided to make a decision in the relevant assessment and negotiation due to the arrest of Chen Xuyuan when the FA held a working meeting on the selection of coaches for national soccer.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan also said that although the Football Association has recognized Yankovic as the head coach of the national soccer team, but still need to report to the higher unit for approval, but according to the actual situation, Yankovic as the head coach of the national soccer team has been finalized. After all, the national soccer team is about to assemble and go to New Zealand to practice, there is no time to consider new candidates.
With Jankovic as the head coach of the national soccer team, the Football Association will re-select coaches for the Asian Games team. However, the outside world is not optimistic about the FA's decision. First of all, Hangzhou Asian Games is getting closer and closer, it is a taboo to quit coaching at the last minute. Moreover, Yankovic has led the team for so many years, it is hard to find a more suitable candidate than him.
Furthermore, Jankovic's role as head coach of the national soccer team was controversial. One could say it was a desperate move by the FA. After all, Jankovic has no outstanding resume and no highlights in leading the team. His only advantage is that he is familiar with Chinese soccer and the asking price is not high.
Of course, the main problem with the national soccer team is not the coach, but the ability of the national soccer players. What do you think of Yankovic as the coach of the national soccer team? Welcome to leave a message in the comment section to discuss!
