On February 1, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) announced through the official social media platform "China Football Team" that the Chinese men's soccer team and the Chinese Asian Games men's soccer team would visit New Zealand in late March, visiting the New Zealand men's soccer team and the New Zealand men's soccer team for two warm-up matches. There is no clear statement in the announcement about who will lead the Chinese team.
According to the official announcement, according to the team's game plan, the Chinese Men's National Football Team will travel to New Zealand in March to play two warm-up matches, the first of which will be held in Auckland at 14:00 on March 23rd. The second match was held in Wellington on March 26 at 11:00 BST. Meanwhile, on March 23 and 26, the Chinese men's Asian Games team will work with New Zealand. u The two warm-up matches will be held at the 23 National Football League.
Since the national soccer team and the Asian Games team have the exact same game day, it was difficult for Jankovic, as the Asian Games captain, to juggle the command of both teams. From this point of view, it is very likely that someone else was in charge of leading the national soccer team at that time. As for whether the national soccer team is coached by local coaches, foreign coaches or Chinese and foreign coaches jointly, the Chinese Football Association will further study, the national soccer team's first training in the New Year is likely to be arranged in March.
