Recently, the topic of the change of coach of the national football team has once again aroused widespread attention. In the latest report of "Red Star News", Ivankovic appears frequently, and as a possible new manager, his arrival is pinned on high hopes. As an ordinary football fan, I was both expecting and apprehensive about this change.
As we all know, the performance of the national football team in the recent Asian Cup was not ideal, which makes us worry about the future of the national football team. Against this backdrop, the Football Association has launched a process to change the manager, and the list includes heavyweights like Queiroz, Ivankovic, Petkovic and Klinsmann. Each of the candidates had a wealth of coaching experience and a stellar track record, but in the end Ivankovic came into focus, and his resume is truly impressive.
Ivankovic has led Oman to great results, including defeating Japan, which is undoubtedly something to brag about in Asian football. What's more, he has also beaten the national football team, which may be one of the important reasons why the Football Association considers him. His coaching style, deep understanding of Asian football, and initial familiarity with the Chinese football environment all seem to indicate that he can bring some positive changes to the national football team.
However, a change of manager is not a panacea. While Ivankovic's coaching ability is unquestionable, the outcome of a football match is influenced by a variety of factors, including the form of the players, the cohesion of the team, and more. If the national football team wants to achieve good results in the next World Preliminaries, it still needs to make efforts in many aspects. For example, the players need to adapt to the tactical system of the new manager, and the whole team needs to establish good communication and cooperation in a short period of time.
In addition, Ivankovic's annual salary requirement is clearly higher than that of his predecessor Jankovic, but the Football Association seems to say that it is affordable. This reflects the importance that the Football Association attaches to the future performance of the national football team, and also shows that they are willing to invest in order to change the status quo. But it also puts more pressure on Ivankovic, after all, high salaries often come with high expectations.
As fans, we naturally hope that the national football team can be reborn under the leadership of the new coach, not only to perform in the upcoming World Preliminaries, but also to become the starting point for the long-term development of the national football team. But we also have to be sensible and give the new manager and the team enough time and space, change will not happen overnight, but every step is worth looking forward to.
The joining of Ivankovic has undoubtedly injected fresh blood into the national football team and also given fans a glimmer of hope. We hope that under his leadership, the national football team can show a new style, and we also hope that this change of coach can become a positive chapter in the history of Chinese football. Let's wait and see and cheer for the national football team!
