The Lantern Festival brings a major news in Chinese football: the national football team has changed its coach! Jankovic's departure is embarrassing, and Ivankovic's arrival is full of new hope. The new manager's priority will be to lead the national team to Singapore's two World Cup qualifiers in March, which will undoubtedly be a direct test of his ability.
At the same time, Asian football is also surging. Singapore, Thailand and South Korea changed their coaching teams almost simultaneously. South Korea, in particular, are in contact with Cannavaro, a coach with a wealth of experience in the Chinese Super League, who could be their new manager. Cannavaro's name is no stranger to the Chinese football community, and he has a deep relationship with Chinese football, and if he really coaches South Korea this time, it will undoubtedly add a lot of highlights in future games.
Many people worry that Cannavaro's familiarity with the players will be a disadvantage for the national team, but I don't think it's necessarily an opportunity. While Cannavaro has an in-depth knowledge of the Chinese players, his tactical set-up and on-the-spot command are not top-notch. In contrast, the arrival of Ivankovic has injected new tactical thinking and discipline into the national football team, which is a huge positive impact on the national football team.
On the other hand, the most important thing for the national football team to pay attention to now is the two matches against Singapore. Only by winning these two victories can the national football team face the subsequent challenges more calmly in terms of mentality, including the match against the South Korean team. Looking back on the performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup, although the final result was not satisfactory, the highlights of the team in the qualifiers showed that as long as the strategy is right and the team works together, victory is not an unattainable dream.
For Ivankovic, every next step counts. He needs to quickly adjust the team, establish a tactical system, and stimulate the team's fighting power in a short period of time. For us fans, every game is worth looking forward to, and every point counts. Let's look forward to the national football team under the leadership of the new coach, to create more exciting moments!
