Undoubtedly, whenever the fans questioned, those recommended by the Chinese coaching team of international players, its selection may not fully meet the strategic vision of Ivanovic, perhaps also mixed with some personal emotional entanglements. We'll have to wait and see. In fact, given the time constraints, Ivankovic had a hard time selecting the national team for the two matches against Singapore in March. Perhaps the national team's initial roster was based more on recommendations than hand-picking.
Ivankovic, who has been working in the Asian soccer sector for a long time, knows the standard of Asian soccer like the back of his hand. He firmly believes that if Chinese players are able to make their mark in the AFC Champions League, they will be able to meet the challenge of the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, if you choose to use the AFC Champions League as a stage to examine several foreign players in the Shandong Taishan team, then these players are expected to become the mainstay of the national team.
As to whether those players recommended by the Chinese coaching staff will be vetoed? Personally, I have reservations. This is because the national team's victory against Singapore in March came relatively easy. Moreover, the new coach will need to make some connections with the FA at the beginning of his tenure. Furthermore, the announcement made by the FA clearly states that there will be an overhaul of the national team's coaching team after the March matches.
