sadness, for chinese football after the ban was issued yesterday morning; sadness, for ivankovic who won and then lost last night.

please stop wasting your time on ivankovic, who is incompetent, pretentious, and has no tactical skills. he seems to understand nothing about chinese football.

01

the slow and conservative substitutions were the main culprit for the reversal.

compared with the 0-7 defeat, the process of being reversed despite being in a favorable situation at home with a goal ahead and one more player is obviously more difficult to accept.

while the players had already shown enough fighting spirit and tactical execution, ivankovic, who was directing the game, was obviously responsible for his slow and conservative on-the-spot adjustments.

before the score was reversed, the chinese national football coach only used three substitutions, two of which were passive adjustments due to injuries. the second substitution was made by someone else rather than wu lei.

why did fernando, who could hardly play for more than 65 minutes in the chinese super league, play the entire game when his physical fitness was obviously insufficient? is the golden signboard of naturalized players so unbreakable? similarly, why didn't baiheram, who was physically unable to support normal technical movements and had a yellow card, make adjustments quickly?

after zhang yuning was substituted in the 70th minute, the chinese national football team formed a siege situation and made 5 consecutive shots in 5 minutes. at this time, the head coach had a better response strategy:

either keep baihelamu and move him to the front line, send xie pengfei to replace fernando to increase the cross strength; or replace wu lei and baihelamu with alan and lin liangming to strengthen the technical content of the front court. however, as time went by, all ivankovic did was to wait in vain.

the third substitution, huang zhengyu, who replaced xie wenneng, ended up being the background of the final goal due to his height disadvantage. after coming on the field, the taishan midfielder did not appear in the central defensive position he was good at, but appeared on the wing. knowing that the opponent's corner kick tactics were powerful, they still replaced a short board with insufficient height.

even if they wanted to keep the game in a draw, they should have changed their formation or position and piled up defenders in their own penalty area. han pengfei was clearly standing on the sidelines, so why wasn't he substituted? besides, even if the winger was replaced by lin liangming, who ranks high in the number of successful headers in the league this season, would it have prevented the final loss of the ball?

why didn't the principle of putting the right people in the right positions, which applies to all walks of life, exist in ivankovic's 70-year-old mind?

02

you love watching football games live, but you only watch them briefly?

since taking office, even though there have been mixed reviews, when talking about ivankovic's image in the eyes of the domestic media, "doing it personally" is always the key word that cannot be avoided.

according to incomplete statistics, starting from watching the super cup live in shanghai on february 25, the head coach of the chinese national football team has visited at least 10 chinese super league games and one asian champions league game in more than half a year. in addition, when the 2001 national olympic team played in the olympic men's football qualifiers, ivankovic also went to the scene to watch the game twice.

however, such rich on-site inspection experience has not become the basis for the national football coach to use personnel scientifically.

since taking office, ivan has called in new players including cheng jin, li yuanyi, xie wenneng, bao yaxiong, baihelam, han pengfei, xu haoyang, wang zhenao, yang zexiang, wang haijian and wei zhen.

among this long list of names, only a few such as li yuanyi, xie wenneng and baihelamu can truly continue to make positive contributions to the national football team. in other words, ivan's inspections all over the country, although seemingly without merit, have been hard work, but have not fundamentally changed the lineup structure of the national football team.

what is even more fatal is that ivankovic's so-called inspection was more like a cursory tour of the country.

the local players who can truly support their tactical blueprint, such as zhejiang midfielder cheng jin who is adaptable to switching between the wing and the center, tianjin tigers attacker patton who is capable of playing as no. 10 and on the front line, guoan midfielder zhang yuan with outstanding running ability, and the genuine right back mingtian, deng hanwen and li hailong with good overall performance, either did not have the chance to be selected or were not reused after being selected.

on the contrary, ivan did not know how to adapt and force the existing national football players into the established tactical framework, which led to jokes such as wei shihao and lin liangming playing in the midfield, jiang shenglong playing as the main defensive midfielder, and baihe lamu playing as a guest midfielder. with such frequent "inspections", he seemed to be working hard for the national football team, but he could not see the characteristics of fernando's poor physical fitness, jiang shenglong's slow footwork, and baihe lamu's rough skills. what did he see?

03

without good tactics, the country will no longer be a country

what kind of formation and style of play are suitable for chinese players? this question is difficult for lippi to answer, and jankovic is also unsure of the answer. as for ivankovic, has he really thought about it seriously?

the diamond midfield 442, which is at least ten years behind the world football trend, seems to be a label that ivankovic cannot tear off. we complain that the ideas of domestic coaches such as li tie and li xiaopeng are outdated, but why did these two local coaches not lose to japan with a humiliating score of 7 goals in a far less unfavorable environment than now, nor did they almost capsize against opponents like singapore?

in the past two years, the relatively successful experiences of jankovic and antonio have shown that the ability and level of chinese players are no longer able to carry the fantasy of beautiful football. although it is ugly to be rooted in defense and pragmatic counterattack, it is also the only way to meet the current situation of the national football team. however, with this precedent, what has ivankovic brought to the national football team?

the lack of offensive and defensive skills can basically be regarded as the conclusion of the ivankovic era.

on the defensive end, the team lost three corner kicks in two games, and the front of the penalty area and the weak side back point were repeatedly hit hard, which reflected the head coach's inability to train the defense. the "positional defense" that was emphasized many times collapsed in actual combat.

in contrast, li tie, li xiaopeng and even cheng yaodong all understand that they need to set up an iron bucket formation when facing strong opponents, and make up for the lack of individual ability through collective cooperation. sometimes, it is not really a deliberate call for the souls of former coaches, but ivankovic really caused public anger.

after the disastrous defeat in saitama, some people pointed out that under ivankovic, the chinese team was not like a whole team at all, but 11 individuals fighting on their own. when a team that is already weak loses its integrity, how can it deal with strong enemies?

on the offensive end, even with the return of several naturalized players, what did ivankovic do? some fans who witnessed the china-thailand match in june even revealed that the adjustment of replacing zhang yuning and jiang shenglong in the final stages of the game to switch to high-altitude bombing was not arranged by ivan, but the quick thinking of domestic assistant coaches such as zheng zhi and chen tao.

after several games, the only thing that ivankovic deserves praise for is his practice of attacking tactics on corner kicks. however, compared with the points and opportunities lost due to the overall stupidity, what can the tricks on corner kicks change? is this a major crime that deserves ivankovic's dismissal?

with the team already inferior to its rivals in terms of skills, chinese football needs a chef who can really cook the dishes, not a charlatan who can only paint cakes. after two defeats that were unacceptable both in process and results, someone must take responsibility. this time, ivankovic cannot let the players take the blame for him.
