When the score was fixed at 0-1, there were not many expressions on the faces of the Chinese team players. After the national football team lost to Iran in the last Asian Cup, Zheng Zhi cried bitterly. But this time, everyone seemed to be able to accept this bad result calmly.
This "calm" atmosphere continued into the post-match press conference. Chinese men's football coach Jankovic did not have too many emotional ups and downs. He still insisted that the national football team was eliminated because of lack of luck. He also still insists that he is working hard to lead the national football team on the right path.
This is a very peaceful press conference, which can be seen from Jankovic's opening remarks. He first congratulated the other three teams in a "graceful" manner: "Congratulations to the Qatar team for winning without conceding a goal and advancing, congratulations to the Tajikistan team for advancing, and at the same time, the Lebanese team worked hard in every game." Then, he talked calmly. Let’s look at how Qatar hosted a very good Asian Cup after successfully hosting a World Cup.
Then, he got into the topic and talked about luck. "In this game, we missed 4 must-goal opportunities in the first half, and we also missed good opportunities in the other two games. It should be said that our players are capable, and they created in this game We have opportunities to score, including positional battles, mobile battles, and set pieces. Unfortunately, we may not be lucky enough to score, but we will always score in the future." Jankovic said, "Of course, the disappointment now is Definitely, because the fate has been pinned on other teams.
can’t get results as a team leader. Does he have the consciousness to dismiss get out of class? Even faced with such a sharp question, Jankovic still talked eloquently: “There are only two teams in the world. There are three kinds of coaches, coaches who are finishing get out of class and coaches who are waiting for get out of class to finish. Since you have chosen to be a coach, you must accept all this. You can't coach if you're afraid of losing your job. All I can do is try my best to push the players to do better. "
Regarding what he has brought to Chinese football in recent years, Jankovic said: "I will not focus on myself. I have been in China for 6 years. I used to train young players for Chinese football, and later led the Chinese team to participate in the East Asian Cup and World Cup preliminaries. For me personally, these are valuable experiences. I have always focused on what I can contribute rather than what I can gain. I tried my best every time and had no regrets. "
Jankovic may not have any regrets, but it's hard to say about Chinese football.
