In the 3rd round of the East Asian Cup held today, the
national soccer team
With a key goal from Tan Long, a close 1-0 win over Hong Kong, China, showed an indomitable fighting spirit.
After the match, former national soccer star Li Yi expressed his support for Jankovic through a social media post. He wrote: "The East Asian Cup has come to an end, and the result, one loss, one draw and one win, is still acceptable. During the process, Jankovic's strict demands on the team and players were evident. I've been following him since he coached the U21s. From the way he organizes the attack at the back of the field to the high press in front of the field to the corner kicks and set-pieces, it is obvious that he comes prepared with clear requirements. Given the current state of the national soccer team, perhaps we need more of a doer than a name. Therefore, on the ballot for national team manager, I have no hesitation in voting for Jankovic."
In this East Asian Cup, Jankovic, as the head coach of the U23 national football team, was appointed as the head coach of the national football selection team, while the national football team's regular head coach Li Xiaopeng did not travel with the team. Previously, about Li Xiaopeng dismissal rumors are endless.
After three rounds of competition, the performance of the national football selection team is "score a goal, get a point, win a game", to complete the set goal, respectively, 0-3 loss to South Korea, 0-0 draw Japan, 1-0 beat Hong Kong, China.
