The new coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, faces a series of phased tasks in the contract signed with the Chinese Football Association, and the completion criteria of these tasks are directly related to his contract renewal and salary package. His priority is to get a win over Singapore in an away game on 21 March, which will be crucial for the national team. Currently, the national football team is third in Group C, but they still have a chance to overtake Thailand, who are currently in second place, by beating Singapore. According to statistics, the all-time duel record between the national football team and the Singapore team is very dominant, which brings them a lot of confidence to win three points away from home.
It is worth noting that Thailand will play the next two games against South Korea, and the national football team only needs to win two games against Singapore to stay active in the race for qualification. Therefore, for the national football team, the match on March 21 is of decisive significance.
In order to ensure victory, Ivankovic has already begun to prepare in earnest. Three of his assistant coaches have already travelled to China and are working closely with the Chinese coaching staff. This arrangement shows the support and recognition of the new coach by the Chinese Football Association, and hopes to improve the strength of the entire team by strengthening the unity and cooperation of the coaching staff.
Ivankovic said in an interview that he is optimistic about the potential and strength of the Chinese team. He admitted that Chinese football is facing some challenges, but he believes that as long as the whole team works together and carries forward the spirit of hard work, the national football team will be able to achieve outstanding results.
In addition, Ivankovic also said that he will focus on improving the team's overall coordination and tactical execution. He believes that by establishing a stable tactical system and cultivating tacit understanding and trust among players, he will be able to perform at his best in the game.
For national football fans, the arrival of the new coach brings new hopes and expectations.
They hope that the national football team can make a breakthrough in the new journey, so as to inspire the development of domestic football.
Under the leadership of the new coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, all parties in Chinese football will work together to achieve good results in the next games. Whether it is the fans, the coaching staff or the players, they will give their best and work hard for the success of the national football team. Because they know that only through unity and hard work can the national football team get out of the predicament and return to the pinnacle of Asian football.
The match against Singapore is a milestone for the national football team, as it is not only the first official match after the new coach Ivankovic took office, but also a key game to complete the stage task. The national team is currently third in Group C, one point ahead of Thailand and three points behind leaders South Korea. And this victory against Singapore is crucial for the national football team's qualifying situation.
Historically, the record of the national football team and Singapore has been quite different.
In the last 10 matches, the national football team has won 8 times and drawn 2 times, and has never lost to an opponent. Such a record gives people full confidence that the national football team will win away from home. The new coach Ivankovic also took a fancy to this, and through targeted tactics and training, he hoped to break the slump of the national football team's record when playing away from home and score three valuable points.
Before taking over the national team, Ivankovic was the head coach of the Serbian Under-21 national team and has a wealth of experience in developing young players. Because of this, he decided to continue to retain the Chinese coaching staff, and through their help and cooperation, the team can better manage and develop young players.
At the same time, the three assistant coaches of the national football team have also officially arrived, they are former South Korea international Park Ji-sung, former China international Zhao Xuri and former Dutch international Edgar Davies. The three assistant coaches are all professionals with a wealth of experience and knowledge of football, and they will work together with Ivankovic to improve the team's quality and tactical level.
In addition to technical and tactical preparation, Ivankovic also pays attention to the team's psychological quality training. He stressed the importance of teamwork and a sense of collective pride, and hoped that the players would fight for the honor of their country. He encouraged the players to stay positive, to go forward in the game, not to be afraid of difficulties and not to pass up any chances.
The national football team also went through a series of adjustments and training during the preparation period. In order to better adapt to the new coach's tactical system, the players have carried out a lot of tactical run-in and tacit cooperation training in daily training. In addition, the national football team also participated in a series of warm-up matches to improve the players' game status and confidence.
All in all, the national team faces an important battle as they look to maintain their competitive edge by beating Singapore. New coach Ivankovic and his team of assistants will do their best to inject new strength and vitality into the team. Only if the players can give their all and play their best can the national football team achieve victory and lay a solid foundation for the future Asian World Cup qualifiers.
