Ivankovic is officially in charge of the national team and has been tasked with selecting the new national soccer team with a view to emerging in two consecutive rounds of qualifiers against Singapore in March.
Officials revealed that the national football team will be away from Singapore on March 21st, followed by a home match on March 26th. In order to help the national football team to beat their opponents, the Football Association specially arranged the March 26 event in Tianjin Olympic Sports Center, which is exactly the national football team in 2013 to beat Singapore 6-1 "blessed place".
Recall in 2013, the national football team in Tianjin against Singapore, Camacho suddenly dismissed, Fu Bo was appointed, and finally 6-1 victory over the opponent. The FA is hoping that the national football team will be able to replicate its glory in this "blessed place" and successfully enter the World Cup 18.
But the "blessing" alone is not enough to help the national football team. If Ivankovic wants to make the team successfully among the World Cup 18, revitalization, you must make drastic changes to the lineup, adjust the staffing. After all, the national team's lineup is in need of modernization, the Asian Cup during the national football team exposed the lack of offensive problems need to be solved.
In the group stage of the Asian Cup, the national football team was grainless and failed to win a single game, and the performance of several midfielders and front players no longer meet the requirements of the national team. It is worth noting that Ivankovic on the second day of his appointment to the scene to watch the Super Cup match between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port, however, as the top scorer Wu Lei performance is flat.
In view of this, Ivankovic should promote Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming, two young players, to replace Wu Lei, whose performance has declined, and partner with Zhang Yuning, as well as adjusting the team's back position to adapt to the transition between offense and defense. Li Yuanyi and Li Tixiang have a high reputation and are expected to replace Wu Xi and Wang Qiuming in the national team, and are even expected to make their debut.
It is worth mentioning that although Wu Lei won the Golden Ball Award again, he confessed in his acceptance speech that he felt ashamed for the award because of the poor performance of the national team in recent years, failing to reach the second-class level in Asia. However, he still expressed confidence in helping the national football team to advance to the 2026 World Cup qualifying round of 18, after all, this is a task that must be accomplished. However, if he continues to use the existing players, Ivankovic is afraid that it will be difficult to lead the team to achieve the goal.
