The Tajikistan men's football team was the dark horse of the tournament in the Asian Cup, and they advanced to the quarterfinals with a victory over the mighty UAE men's football team. The national football team drew with Tajikistan in the group stage, so it can be said that the national football team also benefited from this, as they can use it to regain some of the lost reputation. Although the national football team is out, they have the opportunity to observe and learn Tajikistan's style of play and tactics, which will serve as a reference for the future development of the national football team.
The future of the national football coach Jankovic may continue, but his results do not meet the expectations of the Football Association and the fans, so he will likely leave the position of head coach of the national football team. According to **, the Football Association has entered the preparatory stage for a change of coach, and they plan to find a coach who understands Chinese football and Asian football in the Chinese Super League to make a temporary transition, and then consider stronger foreign coaches after the World Preliminary Tournament.
In the consideration of the Football Association, Zheng Zhi and Gao Hongbo became possible candidates for the national football coach. As Jankovic's assistant coach, Zheng Zhi is familiar with the characteristics of the national team players and Jankovic's tactical system, if he can temporarily take over and lead the team, the overall style of play of the national football team will not be unable to keep up, and it can also inject Zheng Zhi's characteristics. However, Zheng Zhi's performance in leading the team at the club is average, so his ability to lead the team is still in doubt.
On the other hand, Gao Hongbo has coached the national team twice and was appointed in the second crisis, but the results were not ideal. After leaving the national team, he said that the reforms he proposed moved the interests of some people, which was one of the reasons for his resignation. Gao Hongbo has rich experience in the field of youth training, and he believes that the achievements of Chinese football in youth training are not satisfactory, and only by establishing a good youth training system can Chinese football develop on the international stage. Although Gao Hongbo may be reluctant to take over the national football team again, he is still regarded as a possibility for the national football team to change coaches.
The national football team's plan to change coaches currently tends to transition with local coaches, and then consider foreign coaches after the World Preliminary Tournament. This is because the new coach needs to have enough time to prepare, and it takes even more time to find a European manager. At the same time, the Football Association does not want to poach the head coaches of clubs such as Choi Kang-hee, Seo Jung-won and Jodi. Zheng Zhi and Gao Hongbo, as local coach candidates, have their own advantages and limitations, and their choices will affect the future development of the national football team.
Faced with the issue of changing the coach of the national football team, every fan and observer has their own opinion. Some people believe that the national football team needs a foreign coach with international experience to lead, because such a coach can improve the competitiveness and level of the team. Others believe that local coaches have a better understanding of Chinese football and the characteristics of players, and can better mobilize the enthusiasm and potential of players. Either way, it needs the support and understanding of the Football Association and fans, in the hope that the national football team can achieve better results in future competitions.
The national football team's plan to change the coach has aroused the attention and discussion of the majority of fans. According to the current news, the Football Association prefers to transition with local coaches and then consider foreign coaches. Zheng Zhi and Gao Hongbo, as one of the candidates, have their own strengths and limitations. The future development of the national football team not only needs a suitable coach, but also the support and understanding of the Football Association and fans. It is hoped that the national football team can achieve better results in future competitions and make greater contributions to the development of Chinese football.
