A new season of sports
The Qatar Asian Cup brought the Chinese men's football team to a historical freezing point. Although the anti-corruption and anti-crime campaign has removed a number of football moths, people have seen the determination of Chinese football heroes to break their wrists. However, the national football team returned home in the Asian Cup, and Chinese football did not let people see signs of full recovery.
The embarrassing situation of not winning a single goal in the group stage of the Asian Cup has completely put the Chinese men's football team into the cold in Asian football. Song Kai, the new head of the Chinese Football Association, can't sit still! There is no doubt that every major defeat needs to be blamed, and this time it is unsurprising that it will be down to head coach Jankovic. Under Song Kai's personal deployment, Jankovic unsurprisingly finally rolled away. Soon, the Chinese Football Association after repeated screening and screening, finalized the Croatian veteran coach Ivankovic among many candidates. As a result, Ivankovic became the 11th foreign head coach in the history of Chinese football.
Speaking of Ivankovic, he can be described as an old friend of Chinese football. He coached Shandong Taishan from 2009 to 2011 and led the team to win the Chinese Super League championship in the 2010 season. He has coached all over the Eurasian continent and has been deeply involved in Asian football for a long time, and knows Chinese football and even Asian football well. Rich coaching experience and high cost performance are the main reasons for his final victory.
After completing the signing of the contract with the Chinese Football Association, Ivankovic also couldn't wait to appear at the Hongkou Football Stadium last night as the new coach of the national football team, and played the Super Cup game on the spot. Regarding the current situation of Chinese football, Ivankovic must also have a certain understanding. However, unlike the unanimous pessimism about the prospects of the national football world preliminaries, the old coach is surprisingly optimistic about Chinese football.
As a former Yugoslav coach, Ivankovic hopes to replicate the magical scene of the miraculous coach Mr. Milu 22 years ago who led the Chinese men's football team out of Asia and into the World Cup finals. At the beginning of his tenure, Ivankovic made it clear that he would lead the national football team to the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Although Chinese football is currently at the freezing point in history, Ivankovic's confident statement is undoubtedly a booster, which will help the national football team to have an excellent performance in the next match with Singapore.
