Li Xuan wasted no time in teasing Ivan, flirting, "Arnold turned his back on the business world after being held to a draw in Indonesia. This week he was in talks with the general manager of Football Australia about resigning. In the end, the GM failed to hold on to his post and had to comply with Arnold's decision. Why are people so full of themselves?!"
Reporter Pei Li observed that those teams with a little pursuit have changed their coaches, only our national soccer team is stable as a fishing platform. Such a change reflects at least one position. "The first two rounds of matches are not ideal. Australia and Oman are those slightly more ambitious teams. They both changed their coaches. But our national football team is as steady as a mountain, letting the wind and waves attack, I walk freely. Replacement of the coach may not be able to improve performance, and may not be able to compare the United States, Canada and Mexico, but at least it is an attitude that shows courage and determination. We have abandoned slogans and showmanship, which is really saddening."
Reporter Zhao Yu commented that both Oman and Australia changed their coaches due to poor performance in the first two rounds of the preliminaries. In professional soccer, it is the norm to change coaches immediately when results are poor. People did not raise their voices about the tight schedule of the tournament, the new coaches' lack of familiarity with the players, and the lack of adaptation to Asian soccer. As for us, the end result was that we were unable to change coaches. I wonder if what we are discussing is still the language of world soccer.
No official statement has been released regarding whether or not the national soccer team's head coach, Ivan, will remain in his position. As a result, media personality Chen Ning called on the Football Association to issue a stance. Combined with the replacement of coaches in Oman and Australia, Chen Ning wrote on social media that two coaches were dismissed just after the start of the 18-team tournament. First, Oman's Hirshawi, who was decisively dismissed by the Oman Football Association after two consecutive losses; followed by Australia's Arnold, who has just tendered his resignation. The Kangaroos have only scored one point in two rounds. It seems that Arnold has felt hopeless, so he might as well take the initiative to resign, which is better than being relieved of his contract by the federation to have a face. As for the head coach of our national soccer team, Ivankovic, it has not been officially announced whether he will stay or not. If he chooses to stay, the CFA should make a public statement to express its support for Ivankovic.
