Recently, the news that Blanco Ivankovic became the coach of the national football team spread to other teams in Asia. A number of ** have commented on it. A large number of ** and fans value the old Ivan very much, especially Vietnam and Japan. In the last World Preliminary Tournament, Ivan coached the Oman team, not only defeated the national football team, Vietnam, but also won the Japanese team away.
Vietnam** commented that Ivan has rich coaching experience, having coached Hannover 96 and Dinamo Zagreb, and has also been the coach of Iran and Oman. At the same time, Ivan also coached in the Chinese Super League and led Shandong Taishan team to win the league championship. And in Asia, there are not many coaches with such ** and experience.
Japanese fans recalled that Ivan had a strong ability to gather information. In 2006, he led the team to strengthen the Iranian team (Iran beat Japan at home and qualified for the World Cup with 13 points in the Asian quarterfinals). In addition,Ivankovic provided his native Croatia with a lot of intelligence on the Japanese team, resulting in Miyamoto Tsuneyasu (now the head of the Japanese Football Association, former captain of the Japanese team, and a key player in the backline) and Sandu (a naturalized black Brazilian player) were repeatedly targeted.
In addition, Ivankovic's fickle tactics have also been mentioned by many **. In the last World Preliminary Tournament, he let the Oman team surround the opposing goalkeeper when he sent a corner. This scene has been used in both the Vietnam and national football matches, and has broken through the door of the Vietnamese team many times. Oman's height is not as good as the national football team, but he has a huge header advantage against Vietnam. In addition, the away win over Japan was also a set-piece achievement.
It has been revealed that Ivankovic's salary is only a little more than one million dollars. At the same time, he brought a number of assistants. And Troussier's salary in the Vietnamese team, close to $2 million, is almost double that of Ivankovic. This salary, which was also reported by the Vietnamese media, caused dissatisfaction with the former head coach of the Vietnamese team, Park Hengxu (Park Hengxu's income was very low in the early stage). Trussier, on the other hand, is only 1 year (13 months) younger than Ivan
The national football team lost the World Cup last time. This tournament started well and won away from home against the main rival Thailand. Due to the expansion of the World Preliminaries, many people believe that the national football team has a chance to advance directly. In fact, the changed World Preliminaries are more fortuitous. A number of mid-stream teams in Asia are likely to fight each other and compete for places.
Ivan's primary goal should be to retain his position in the top 10 in Asia, so that the national football team can achieve a relatively good group in the 2030 World Preliminary Tournament (starting in 2027). The World Preliminary Tournament is a long-term process, and each competition affects the subsequent groupings. In recent years, the most regrettable of the national football team was in 2006, because the grouping was the best at that time. But I didn't grasp it.
