Milo on national football: regret no World Cup, look forward to 2026 to advance
Beijing time on November 21, former Chinese men's football coach Milutinovic accepted an exclusive interview with a CGTN reporter, discussing topics related to Chinese soccer in depth.
In the interview, Milu confessed, "To be honest, I feel very sorry that the Chinese team is not in the 2022 World Cup. I like the Chinese team very much and Chinese people are full of passion, so I feel very uncomfortable to see that the Chinese team cannot return to the World Cup."
"It's important to have a dream, and only by having a dream is it possible to turn it into reality. China has a huge population and people with dreams, so they need to find the right group of people to realize the dream of reaching the World Cup. I hope China will continue to increase its soccer youth training and set a new goal - to reach the 2026 World Cup final round."
