Ivan raised his eyebrows! 2 consecutive wins to fulfill the national football team to fight for 4 proud, substitutions are also godly: 2 odd soldiers succeeded

In a key match in the 5th round of the round of 18 that ended in the early morning of November 15, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team defeated Bahrain 1-0 away. After winning 2 consecutive victories, the controversial national football coach Ivankovic finally raised his eyebrows.

Previously, the national football team lost 0-7 to Japan at the beginning of the round of 18, and was reversed by Saudi Arabia and Australia 1-2 and 1-3. But Ivan, the "old Jianghu", refused to resign, and said at the press conference that the start of the 4th round with Indonesia is the beginning and decisive battle of the national football team in the real sense of the top 18.

As it turned out, Ivan was not lying. In the last round, the national football team played the best first half at home since the start of the game, and finally defeated Indonesia 2-1 to win the first victory. In the face of Bahrain in this game, despite the ugly scene and the terrifying moment when the penalty was awarded and the stunner was awarded, the national football team finally relied on Zhang Yuning's stoppage time to get 3 points again, and rose to 4th in the standings after winning 2 consecutive victories, and even tied Saudi Arabia and Australia. Not only is there hope for the play-offs, but there is even a chance to finish second in the group. Looking back at Ivan's original goal of striving for the top 4 at the press conference, it seems that he is not arrogant.

And the good news is that Ivan's last two much-maligned substitutions have also improved significantly. Ivan's substitutions basically had an effect, and the substitute players of the national football team performed well in this game, among which Wang Haijian sent an assist to Zhang Yuning, and Wang Ziming made a red card at the last moment, completely extinguishing Bahrain's hope of equalizing. In addition, Hu Hetao's defense is steady, and Xu Haoyang is also a good substitute for Li Yuanyi's work.

After the situation of the national football team has improved significantly, Ivankovic may be able to temporarily keep the position he once lost.
