Madsen mentioned in the article, in view of the Chinese men's soccer team and Singapore's world preliminaries schedule is compact, have no choice but to be recommended by the Chinese coaching team. Ivankovic slightly adjusted, Shandong Taishan team is particularly concerned about, given more opportunities to investigate, so we note that the selection list, Hong Kong team to seven people in the lineup topped the list, and Shandong Taishan team and Hong Kong team to become the favorite. This may be the subtle strategic adjustment of Ivanovic. !

As a matter of fact, I questioned whether the list was entirely in Ivankovic's hands. The reason for this is that the list was announced on March 8, while most of the league matches kicked off on March 9th. Obviously, Ivankovic and his assistants did not research the league sufficiently. Against this background, they relied heavily on the Chinese coaching staff for their intelligence gathering. After all, Chinese coaches are more familiar with their teams. !

At that time, the list will be selected by Ivankovic himself, rather than relying on recommendations from the Chinese coaching staff. By that time, the Chinese Super League will be almost halfway through and will have accumulated a wealth of tournament experience. Ivankovic will also have a more solid basis of investigation when selecting players. Zheng Zhi also emphasized previously that the role of the Chinese coaching team is not to participate in the tactical development, but to assist the coach in training, to help foreign players adapt to the rhythm of the league to the rhythm of the national team games as soon as possible. Therefore, although the Chinese coaching team assisted Ivankovic in selecting personnel this time, it was only because they were familiar with the players. What they do is more of a basic, supportive job, while the core tasks should be done by the foreign coaches. Therefore, I think this list of names recommended by the Chinese coaching team is temporary and unavoidable. Our new foreign coaches should have more autonomy.
