Obviously, the fans of the questioning sound, those by the Chinese coaching staff recommended by the international players, perhaps not all suitable for the tactical concept of Ivankovic, which may also be mixed with personal emotional entanglements. But we may as well wait and see. Objectively speaking, Ivankovic in March and Singapore's two matches, indeed due to time constraints, it is difficult to fully select the national team players. Perhaps the first assembly of the national football team is based more on the recommended list.

Ivankovic, who has been working in the Asian soccer world for many years, has a deep understanding of the depth of Asian soccer. He firmly believes that if Chinese players show excellent strength in the AFC Champions League, then they will be able to meet the challenges in the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, if a number of foreign aiders from Shandong Taishan are to be examined in the AFC Champions League, they are likely to be reused.

As for whether those recommended players will be vetoed? Personally, I hold a different view. Given the easy win for the national soccer team against Singapore in March, the new coach will still need to establish good interpersonal relationships within the FA on his debut. Also, the official document released by the FA states that there will be a major reorganization of the national team's coaching staff after the March match.
