Analyzing the plight of the national soccer team, from preparation to actual combat, each link exposes the urgency of the coaching layer in need of reform. Looking back at the recent 18 matchups, in the showdown with Palestine, the national football team, although the away draw, but facing the strength of the South Korean team, but only 0:0 end, Asia's third-ranked Son led the team is impressive.
Meanwhile, the sixth-ranked national soccer team has suffered back-to-back losses, failing to remain undefeated even against the likes of Indonesia and Kuwait. North Korea has rarely participated in international tournaments, but their recent performance was a draw and a loss. Especially in the second round, they played with one less player and drew 2:2 with Asian Cup champion Qatar thanks to goals from Lee Il Sung and Kang Kok Chol, showing amazing toughness.
However, teams such as Palestine, Bahrain, Indonesia, Kuwait and North Korea were able to achieve the desired results against strong opponents thanks to excellent counterattacks and tenacious fighting spirit. On the contrary, why is it always difficult for the national soccer team to break through?
Ivan's coaching career in the national football team's six games, the results of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, South Korea is the third consecutive round of defeating the national football team, forming an unstoppable momentum. Faced with equal strength opponents, the national football team is often caught in passive, and Saudi Arabia's game is even more ugly defeat, as if the will of God is difficult to disobey.
Not only is Ivan's coaching ability and level average, but the quality and effectiveness of his training is also worrying, and he lacks a sense of honor and mission for the national soccer team. Despite his repeated claims that the national soccer team is expected to finish in the top four of the group, it seems more like a joke. What exactly is being done?
In terms of team cohesion and fighting spirit, the national soccer team is in dire need of a coaching change. The players' confidence in Ivan has been shaken, and the team's atmosphere began to "deteriorate" after Japan lost the game. Some players even called Ivan a "liar" in private, and captain Wang Dalei openly questioned him on Weibo. These signs indicate that the team has lost its unity.
If the manager fails to gain the trust of the players, the dressing room will be thrown into chaos and the players' mentality will be affected. The effectiveness of technical and tactical implementation will be greatly reduced and the hope of winning the game will become even more remote. A team that lacks cohesion is doomed to failure. Why can't the national soccer team get out of the dilemma?
All the questions against Ivan point to one conclusion: if he is not dismissed, the national soccer team will certainly suffer a disaster. However, the FA has not responded so far. Regardless of the FA's considerations, it should clearly realize that we cannot give up any hope at this critical moment of the Asian qualifiers. The leaders of the FA should act decisively, otherwise they may become the sinners of Chinese soccer!
