Croatia coach Ivankovic has been confirmed as the new coach of the national football team, and all tasks will be prepared for the next training camp of the world qualifiers, such as forming a coaching team and selecting and determining the list of international players to participate in the training camp. The World Championship Qualifiers round of 36 will be held in March. They will first travel to Singapore and then return home to face the Southeast Asian national team.
According to the official announcement of the Football Association, the national football team's home match against Singapore will be held at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center. The start time is 20:00 Beijing time on March 26.
It is worth mentioning that the last time the national football team came to Tianjin to play, the opponent was also Singapore. In 2013, the team was led by Fu Bo. In the end, the national team defeated the Singapore team with a score of 6:1. The players who scored for the national football team are Yu Dabao (2 goals), Zheng Long (2 goals), Zhang Xizhe, Sun Ke, it can be said that Tianjin is a blessed place for the national football team to play against Singapore.
However, the national football team lost both World Cup qualifiers at the Water Drop Stadium, losing 0-1 to Qatar in 2008 and Iraq 1-2 in 2008.
In which city to play, Ivankovic does not care. Participate in the World Cup qualifiers. Now he needs to confirm the starting line-up for the World Cup qualifiers as soon as possible.
During the Super Cup final at the Hongkou Football Stadium last weekend, Ivankovic was on hand and witnessed the poor performances of several Shanghai Port internationals. Yan Junling made a mistake and lost the ball, Wu Lei missed a shot, Hu Xin did not play a big role in offense and defense, and so on. In particular, Wu Lei is no longer able to occupy the main striker of the national football team, so correcting Wei Shihao will be the trend of the times, and it is more suitable for the current tactical game of Wei Shihao's national football team. Wu Lei's state has declined significantly, and he can't count on it.
In addition to changing the starting line-up, South Korea will face Thailand home and away next month, and Ivankovic will have to turn to fellow seeded South Korea's men's football team for help. The latter is the main opponent of the national football team to qualify. A double win away to Thailand would prevent the Southeast Asian national team from picking up points. Only in this way will the national football team have a greater hope of winning the top 18 seats. Ivankovic can also automatically renew his contract with the Football Association, otherwise he will be terminated by the Football Association and will not receive any compensation. Penalty.
After the dismissal of Vladimir Xuanklinsmann of the Korean Football Association, Italy said that the Korean Football Association began to target Cannavaro in the selection of coaches and invited him to coach the South Korean national team.
If Cannavaro does coach the South Korean national team, it will be good news for Thailand. Due to Cannavaro's limited coaching ability, South Korea may lose points against Thailand, which will be very detrimental to the national football team's qualifying position.
