Ma Dexing revealed that the head coach will be expected to lead the selection process as the national football team reorganizes in June. The FA and Ivankovic seem to share the same view, that is, whether they adopt the recommendation of the Chinese coaching staff or personal selection, they are confident that they can easily beat the Singaporean team, so both sides have reached an agreement.
However, if the team's selections fail to follow the head coach's will, the head coach may feel that he or she is nothing more than a poser. Although Ivankovic has only observed two CSL matches, his team of assistant coaches has already arrived in China. By extension, independent decision-making is not difficult.
In the next preparation, how the coaching team balances individual will and overall tactics will be a major point of interest. The player selection process will undoubtedly also become the focus of media and fans. This process, whether to choose experienced veterans, or trust young players, each decision may affect the future direction of the national football team.
