Ivankovic has shown unprecedented prudence and rationality in his reinforcement strategy, a shift that has opened up a wider world for the cultivation of local young talent. He firmly believes that in order to realize the sustainable development of Chinese soccer, it is necessary to build a national team full of vitality and potential with local players as the cornerstone. As a result, in this year's national team training and competition, Xie Wenneng, Baihe Lamu, Hu Huotao and Tao Qianglong and other "post 00" stars emerged like a spring. Although they are still inexperienced in the field, their fighting spirit and endless potential have injected unprecedented vitality and hope into the national football team. Under his leadership, the national team is quietly building a small circle full of hope.
Although Ivankovic has yet to live up to expectations in terms of tactical use and performance improvement, his bold use of young players surpasses that of previous coaches. He is even more daring than his predecessor, Lippi, in using newcomers. Under his tutelage, a crop of young players have made it to the big stage of the national team. This fact cannot be ignored. From this point of view, he has sown the seeds for the future foundation of the national team, and its value is immeasurable.
