This national football team, it really makes people not know what to say, play poorly, lose, and the fans scold, this is the norm, but this time, there was a big drama of "Ivan to stay", which pushed Chinese football to the forefront
To say that these two world preliminary matches, the performance of the national football team is indeed disappointing, first by the Japan team 7-0 away from home, setting the worst defeat record in team history, and then back at home, facing the slightly inferior Saudi team, and was scored twice in a row in the lead, and finally lost the game 1-2, two consecutive defeats, zero points, bottom of the group, this result, to put it mildly, is simply "embarrassing"
The fans were angry, the sound of shouting "class" on the field came and went, and there was even more scolding on the Internet, everyone could see that this national football team, from the technical and tactical level to the mental outlook, there are serious problems, as the head coach, Ivan is naturally to blame
The picture comes from the Internet
In the face of the anger of the fans, the 70-year-old Ivan seemed unusually calm, not only did he not show any willingness to resign, but talked and laughed at the post-match press conference, talking about his "hope" for the team and "confidence" in the future
At the press conference, a reporter asked Ivan directly: "Will you consider resigning?" This question can be said to have asked everyone's voice, and for a while, the press conference was silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the Croatia old coach
Ivan smiled and replied unhurriedly: "This question, you should ask the Football Association, not me, I have confidence in my team, we still have a chance," these words, dripping water, but it seems a little "evasive", anyone with a discerning eye can hear that Ivan is using the "official answer" to prevaricate fans and the media
Ivan's response undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, many fans left messages on the Internet, angrily accusing Ivan of being "thick-skinned", not even wanting dignity for money, and even more so, turned out Ivan's "black history", calling him "old fritters in football", and he "made a fortune and left" wherever he went
The picture comes from the Internet
There are also some fans who understand Ivan, they believe that the problems of the national football team are not formed overnight, nor can they be solved by changing coaches, although Ivan has limited ability, but at least he is trying to lead the team, and all the responsibility should not be put on him alone
What's more, they began to "shout grievances" for Ivan, they believe that the reason why Ivan refused to resign was not entirely for money, but because he signed a contract with the Football Association, and if he resigned voluntarily now, he would face huge liquidated damages
For a while, the topic of "whether Ivan should leave class" became the focus of heated discussions among fans, some supported and some opposed, and the two sides insisted on their own words and argued endlessly
The real question is not who the coach is, but whether the foundation of Chinese football is solid and whether the development direction is correct
The picture comes from the Internet
And for us ordinary fans, instead of arguing on the Internet, it is better to focus more on supporting Chinese football, after all, only when we truly love this sport and work hard for it, Chinese football can usher in a real spring
