reporter chen yong reports the chinese national football team suffered two consecutive defeats at the start of the 18-team finals. regardless of the results or the process, the performance of the national football team was disappointing. the outside world bombarded the head coach ivan, believing that he should be dismissed. however, at present, although the change of coach is a hot topic in the outside world, it is not necessarily an option. the national football team is likely not to change the coach at this point. of course, in order to play well in the two games in october, the chinese football association has also begun corresponding preparations.

in dalian, the chinese national football team won first and then lost. they lost to saudi arabia 1-2 despite having one more player. ivan became the focus after the game. it was generally believed that he had a big problem in on-the-spot command and was obviously slow in making substitutions. he should bear a large responsibility for the loss. in this case, changing the coach became a hot topic outside.

after the two round of 18 matches in september, the football association had a full discussion. according to the news, the relevant executives communicated with ivan. at that time, it was generally believed that a change of coach would be a must, and there would be a transitional head coach, such as antonio, who coached the u21 national team.

but five days have passed and there has been no clear news about the coaching change from the football association. this newspaper has initially learned that coaching change may no longer be an option, especially at this point in time.

in the past 15 years, the chinese national football team has had a total of 10 head coaches or interim head coaches. the official head coaches include gao hongbo, camacho, perrin, lippi, li tie, li xiaopeng, jankovic and ivan, while fu bo and cannavaro have served as interim head coaches. among them, gao hongbo and lippi have coached twice. in other words, in the past 15 years, the chinese national football team has changed coaches 12 times, including 3 times in the last 3 years, namely li xiaopeng, jankovic and ivan.

if the coach is not changed in the end, it is likely because the chinese national football team has changed coaches too frequently before - after all, the team has been changing coaches all the time, but the results have never improved. in addition, the current plan for the chinese national football team to change coaches is to intentionally choose a transitional head coach, so there is still great uncertainty in the future, such as a disastrous defeat in the october game.

after two rounds of the top 18, the japanese team demonstrated its strong strength, scoring 12 goals and conceding no goals while winning two consecutive games. the next four teams scored 4 points to 1 point respectively, while the chinese national team suffered two consecutive losses and had no points.

at present, the situation in this group is in chaos, which actually gives the chinese national team a chance to take advantage of the situation. however, after two games, no one in the outside world is confident that the chinese national team can get the top four in the group. but at least, the chinese national team should not lose confidence now, that is, it is not time to give up. even if some people say that the goal should be changed from entering the play-offs to avoiding more consecutive defeats, including avoiding a disastrous defeat, this "avoidance" is actually a kind of accumulation of momentum.

in october, the chinese national football team will first play away against australia and then at home against indonesia. obviously, the match against australia will be very difficult. with only one point in the first two games, australia will definitely go all out. the chinese national football team is likely to suffer three consecutive defeats. fans can "accept" this. what they are most worried about is actually the match against indonesia at home on october 15.

if the chinese national football team loses to indonesia, the negative emotions it causes will be even more serious. on the one hand, the chinese national football team previously lost to thailand and vietnam, constantly challenging the fans' "bottom line". if they lose to indonesia again, it will be simply unacceptable. on the other hand, in traditional cognition, the chinese national football team has a high probability of defeating its opponents.

but the actual situation is not so. indonesia has absorbed a lot of naturalized players from the netherlands and has become the netherlands second team. judging from the strength on paper, the chinese national football team is inferior to its opponents.

of course, for a team like indonesia with many new naturalized players, tacit understanding is a problem. for the chinese national team, the key to dealing with indonesia is strong confrontation and enough tenacity. the morale of the opponent must be suppressed. if this cannot be done, the result will be unpredictable.

in fact, the issue of changing the coach affects the entire team, and it is not something that the football association can completely decide. but for the football association, the relevant preparations must be carried out in full.

one of the hot topics discussed recently is whether the chinese national football team needs a charter flight. in the two games of the chinese national football team in september, the away game against japan is shorter, so there is no need for a charter flight. however, in the october game against australia, the journey is longer. the outbound journey is relatively leisurely, but the return journey is more troublesome. there are only four days between the two games. if you take civil aviation, the flight alone (including transfer time) will take 17 hours and 20 minutes, plus the time to go to the airport and enter and exit the country, it will take almost a whole day.

of course, if the national football team does not perform well, chartering a plane will certainly be criticized by the outside world, which will have a great impact on the final decision of the football association. however, what the football association needs to consider more is whether it is necessary and whether it has the conditions to do so based on the real needs of the national football team.
