1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th According to Beijing Youth Sports, the Chinese Football Association will “do its business according to the contract” whether the national football coach Ivankovic will stay or not.
On the evening of June 10, the Chinese men’s football team will face their opponent Bahrain in the last round of the 18th match at Chongqing. The Chinese team, who had a dream of breaking the 2026 World Cup one round ahead of schedule, had the attention of more than 50,000 fans on the spot, and only by winning the opponent can they leave the stage of this World Cup with dignity. As for whether Ivan goes or stays? The Chinese Football Association will “do things according to the contract”, and even if Ivan cannot get rid of the fate of “spending off get out of class”, he should definitely lead the team to fight this final battle with a strong “farewell” meaning in a professional way.
On the evening of the 8th, the Chinese men’s football team went to the No. 4 game of Chongqing Longxing Football Training Base for the second joint training after returning to China, which was also the first training class to be publicly disclosed to the media. Although the team defeated Jakarta two days ago and was blocked from the 2026 World Cup goal one round ahead of schedule, the team still needs to face its World Cup final match against Bahrain at home in Chongqing.
How to fight a final battle with honorary nature? This is something that the Chinese general needs to figure out at this moment. At present, the Chinese team’s injuries are quite prominent. Hu Hetao and Wei Shihao, who have suspended the game for the cumulative two yellow teams, have left the team early. Central defender Zhu Chenjie and front defender Cao Yongjing are also injured, so they missed the training on the night of the 8th and have also left the national football team. Goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, who also missed the training on the day, was also troubled by back discomfort, but the situation was not serious, so he remained in the team.
It is worth noting that when the training was 15 minutes on the 8th, the press officer of the Chinese national football team politely “invite” nearly 100 reporters on the scene out of the training ground. At that time, the team was divided into two groups and prepared to conduct group confrontation training. From this we can see that the Chinese team still cares very much about the results of the game on the 10th. In a group interview with the media, the two main players who returned from the ban, Xie Wenneng and Lin Liangming, both said that they would strive for the final battle for fans.
After recruiting Hou Yongyong and Liu Zhurun, the 23-member registration lineup of the Chinese team in this game has been generated. Judging from the direction of personnel adjustment, the Chinese team will focus on offense in the game on the 10th, and there is almost no suspense in the appearance of Xie Wenneng and Lin Liangming.
The defense line will be affected by personnel injuries, and the adjustment will be greater. Hu Hetao and Zhu Chenjie may be replaced by Li Lei and Wu Shaocong respectively, while Jiang Guangtai will be replaced byIt may be the first time that he is partnering with Wu Shaocong to a central defender. The back midfielder Wang Shangyuan recovered well and still had the conditions to start. The performance of the forward line, paired by Zhang Yuning and Wang Yudong, was generally satisfactory in the last round. It would be natural if it continued to start together in this round.
According to the plan, the Chinese team will be head coach Ivankovic and goalkeeper Wang Dalei attend the pre-match press conference on the evening of the 9th, which means that Wang Dalei will continue to appear as the captain on the field in the starting lineup of the team on the 10th. The game on the 10th will undoubtedly become a “farewell battle” for this national football team. After that, a considerable number of players over 30 years old, especially those around 35, will fade out of the national football team. Emotionally, they also long to end their national team career with victory.
Data shows that since defeating Bahrain in the group stage of the 10th Asian Games Football Championship in Busan, South Korea on September 20, 1986, the Chinese national football team has officially faced this opponent 8 times, with a record of 4 wins and 4 draws, and remained unbeaten. If the Chinese team can win the opponent, they will get considerable international ranking points, thus winning favorable conditions for the competition in the next competition.
There is another highlight in this game, that is, the two teams that both China and Pakistan were eliminated early. Their head coaches Ivankovic and Tarajic both come from Croatia, and the two coaches are also old friends who have known each other for many years. However, compared with Tarajichi, who has been supported by the Bahrain Football Association, Ivan is now “betrodden” and therefore, no matter “subsidized”, he needs to bring a victory to the Chinese team.
