In a much-anticipated showdown on January 2, the Chinese national soccer team unfortunately lost 1-2 to Hong Kong, China. The loss sparked widespread concern, with renowned media personality Li Xuan immediately speaking out on social media, proposing that the team suspend training for a day in order to buy time to adjust to the situation.
It is worth mentioning that Jankovic took drastic measures against Li Ke, who was late for training, by expelling him from the team as soon as the national football team was assembling, a move that underscores his strict demand for team discipline.
Li Xuan took to social media to comment on the national soccer team's defeats against Oman and Hong Kong, China in consecutive warm-up matches:
"Jankovic had let it be known before the match that the team would take a day off if they performed well in the warm-up match with Hong Kong, China.
However, the loss is equally seen as a vacation and the national soccer team is already in trouble even before the Asian Cup has started. Despite the amount of training that has taken place, blindly imposing harsh punishments is likely to backfire."
