after the chinese national football team was carried by the singaporean goalkeeper to advance to the top 18, the first two rounds of the top 18 exposed ivankovic's serious shortcomings of being slow on the spot. in the first round, they lost 0-7 to japan away from home. they were not as skilled as their opponents, which was nothing to say; in the second round, they were reversed and killed by 10 saudi arabia at home 1-2, which was a bit unreasonable. the chinese national football team took the lead in the 14th minute (saudi arabia own goal), and played with one more player in the 19th minute (saudi arabia red card). what was the result? ivankovic was unable to make the right choice on the spot when facing the advantage of playing with one more player and leading by one goal. it was not until the 90th minute that he remembered to replace alan and lin liangming. many national players on the field had already been exhausted. this may be the routine operation of the 70-year-old coach to muddle through! fans and the media were furious. the post-match press conference directly pointed out the issue of ivankovic's dismissal, but ivankovic continued to blame the players and refused to resign.

according to the latest report from tianjin media "today evening news", the football association is having difficulty finding a suitable new coach for the chinese national football team due to time constraints. therefore, ivankovic will most likely continue to coach the national football team and play the remaining eight games in the round of 18.

jinwanbao analyzed that there are roughly three reasons why the national football team let ivankovic stay:

first:the schedule is tight and there is no time to select a new coachthe next round of the top 18 of the chinese national football team will be next month, and the football association has no time to select a new coach. the u19 and u21 national football team coaches, djurjevic and antonio, can only play the role of firefighters and cannot coach the national football team for a long time.

second:no chance of a world cupin fact, fans, media and the football association all know that it is a pipe dream to talk about the 2026 world cup in the united states, canada and mexico with the current strength of the chinese national football team. with such competitive ability, they simply do not have the ability to qualify for the world cup. therefore, changing the coach in the middle of the top 18 is not very meaningful.

third:high termination fee costivankovic still has 9 months left on his contract with the chinese national team, until the end of the top 18 matches, with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, which means that the football association needs to pay 9 months' salary, about 8.8 million yuan, to fire ivankovic.

zhidao's view is that ivankovic is a 70-year-old man selected by the football association. he has to coach the team to the end even if he cries. his 442 formation is always a way of living off his past achievements. perhaps coaching the chinese national football team is ivankovic's last job. he earns as much as he can. why should he resign? it is understandable that he is doing things according to the contract. the fault lies with the football association's selection of players and the clause in the contract that does not automatically terminate the contract if the performance is not good. the football association allowed ivankovic to continue coaching, and the chinese men's football team lost a real opportunity to improve. with ivankovic's tactics and on-the-spot ability, it really wasted the best training opportunity for the players to play in the top 18 international matches of high intensity.
