Ivan responded to being asked to get out of class: disrespectful people! I have led teams to win championships in 3 countries, and the national football team has been sinking for many years

On October 19, Beijing time, the coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivankovic, accepted an interview with CCTV. Talking about the controversial scene when he was publicly asked by a Chinese reporter to leave class at a press conference, Ivan bluntly said that it was really disrespectful. Ivan also bluntly said that Chinese football has been in the trough for many years, and it will take a long time to improve again.

At the post-match press conference where the second round of the round of 18 was reversed by Saudi Arabia 1-2 at home, a reporter directly asked Ivan what the outside world thought of letting him out of class, and the reporter's question was even applauded by his peers on the spot.

Speaking about the controversy, Ivan said bluntly: "It does make me feel disrespected, you know, I won the championship in three countries and played in the Asian Cup for many national teams. I've been through something similar, but this time I can feel the atmosphere very clearly, but I still have to try to focus on the work at hand. There are only two types of coaches, one is the coach who has already left the class, and the other is the coach who is ready to leave the class. Sometimes I have to admit that the fate of the coach is a millimeter (whether to score or not to score) and football is a game played by people. ”

Ivan also bluntly said that it is not easy for Chinese football to improve overnight: "Chinese football has not achieved good results for many years, and China is winning championships in other sports." But when it comes to football, there's still a long way to go. ”

After leading the team to defeat Indonesia 2-1 at home to win the first win in the round of 18, Ivan's dismissal crisis has been temporarily alleviated. Unsurprisingly, Ivan will surely continue to lead the team to key matches against Bahrain and Japan in November's round of 18.
