On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Song Dandan has talked about what is the element that makes people palpitate with humor? Undoubtedly soccer. And among them, nothing is more palpitating than Chinese soccer. She once teased that there are two kinds of soccer in the world, one is ordinary soccer and the other is Chinese soccer. Even putting aside the technical differences, the coaching lineup of the national team alone is enough to highlight our uniqueness. However, this fact is not what it seems. When Ivankovic took over the reins of the national soccer team, not only was the entire Chinese coaching staff retained, but a new technical director was also on the way. In this regard, I speculate that Ivankovic may be under close scrutiny by the FA.
So where does the new national soccer technical director come from? Why does the author describe him as a "failed prophet"? It's not just a play on words, but there's a lack of hard evidence to back it up. Going back to the time of Cai Zhenhua, Fu Bo had shown his coaching talent. Cai Zhenhua had appointed Fu Bo as the head coach of the national Olympic team and led the team to the Olympics. At that time, the national team brought together Zhang Yuning, Xie Pengfei, Liu Binbin and a number of other outstanding players. However, Fu Bo led the team to the worst results in the history of the National Olympics, losing in the Asian Youth Championships, even 0-2 against Thailand, and the Olympic tournament also ended with a loss. Since then, Zheng Zhi has taken over the national team.
As early as during the Asian Cup, it was revealed that Jankovic's control over the team was extremely limited, and that he had even banned the relevant departments from developing young players. There had been an outbreak of internal conflict in the locker room regarding Jankovic. Was Lee really fired for being late? These questions have not yet been brought to the light of day, however, the cycle seems to be playing out again, everything seems to be back to square one, and the familiar flavor remains. What does it mean to have a technical director for Ivankovic, who has a history of coaching failures, when it is said that the likes of Zheng Zhi are responsible for defining the scope of the national team's players? In fact, the so-called "technical director" should probably be called "national soccer director" without the word "technical".
