With the national soccer team set to face Japan this coming November, the FA's rehashing of the 0:7 defeat of that year is meant to serve as a wake-up call for the upcoming challenge. Head coach Ivankovic undoubtedly needs this reminder to prevent history from repeating itself. As analyzed by the reporter "who is good at cute", such a reminder also maps out the delicate situation of Ivankovic in the national football team. According to him, the minimum goal of the first four rounds of the national football team is to get three points, and Ivankovic almost at the last minute to complete this task. To stay competitive in the upcoming matches, the national soccer team will have to fight for at least two points in the November matches. Looking back to the period when Gao Hongbo and Li Tie were in charge, the team had scored 5 points in 6 rounds of matches, which is what the FA expects now. If this goal is not reached, the FA may consider changing coaches and restarting the local coach development program. After all, if we still can't get 5 points after 6 rounds, it will be extremely difficult to compete for the 8.5 spots in the Asian zone through the play-offs. At that time, it might be better to let Ivankovic continue to coach than to let the local coaches to work out. Therefore, I'm afraid that Ivankovic's retention will not be revealed at this stage, but after the matches with Bahrain and Japan.
