It was revealed that Ivan made 2 requests to the Football Association: the Chinese Super League started early to find the state of the international players! Added 1-2 digits of naturalization

The Chinese men's football team has finished its 2024 participation task, with 6 points in 6 rounds and only 1 point behind the second place in the group, which also gives the national football team hope of entering the World Cup. And the national football coach Ivankovic has also begun to plan for the last four decisive games next year in advance.

On November 22, Beijing time, a report from reporter Zhao Rui said that Ivan hopes that the Chinese Super League will start early next year, and the team can have 1-2 excellent naturalized players to help. It is reported that Ivan put forward these two requirements after having in-depth exchanges with the senior management of the Chinese Football Association before the game with Japan and detailing the future preparation plan.

As we all know, the new season of the Chinese Super League generally starts in early March every year, and the next round of the top 18 matches of the national football team will be played on March 20 next year. This also means that the internationals may only play 1-2 league games before they will play in the last 18 crucial matches. And Ivan hopes that next year's Chinese Super League will start early, and when the national team starts training, the status of the selected international players will be guaranteed. Moreover, in the first half of next year, the Chinese Super League, the World Preliminaries, and the AFC Champions League Elite League, when the international players will fight on multiple fronts, they really need to take into account the overall planning and highlight the key points.

In addition, although the national football team did not send naturalized players in the games against Indonesia and Japan, Ivan himself did not reject naturalized players, but hoped that there could be one or two excellent naturalized players in the team, and he made it clear in the first half of this year that he hoped to promote the naturalization of Serginho and Oscar Jr. as soon as possible.

At present, the 29-year-old captain Serginho of Yatai will be eligible for naturalization in January next year. If Serginho is finally naturalized, his physical condition will meet the requirements, and there will be basically no suspense about being selected for the national football team. As the most scarce forward talent in the national football team, Serginho, who is in his playing year, is expected to play an important role in Ivan's "442" diamond formation.
