1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11th In the last round of the 18th match, the national football team defeated Bahrain 1-0 and still missed the 2026 World Cup. Former international Li Yi recorded a video and said that the top priority of the Football Association is to choose a new coach, and he personally prefers young European coaches.
Talking about the match between the national football team and Bahrain, Li Yi praised Wang Yudong’s performance. He said: “I think I should first praise Wang Yudong in this game. Although I am only 18 years old, the mental state and confidence reflected on the court are much higher than other players, and the future is still promising. I hope he has a better development.”
Talking about the new coach, Li Yi said: “The game is over, I want to talk about the head coach, because Ivankovic’s contract may also expire. No matter whether he is leading the East Asian Cup or not, I think the top priority of the Football Association is how to choose the next head coach, because the head coach is particularly important to the team. I hope we can be more cautious when choosing a head coach next time, and have a certain assessment. Don’t be just famous, but more suitable for comprehensive strength. I still tend to be young coaches in Europe, capable young coaches, which requires some homework to be examined. Here I also wish the national team better and better.”
