The crisis continues for the Chinese national team. Now, there is even a possibility that Coach Branko Ivankovic will leave.

China's Sohu Dotcom reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that 'even the Chinese national team's hope of taking fourth place is now shaking like a candle in front of the wind'.

Sohu said, "Coach Ivankovic is under tremendous pressure. He openly expressed his frustration. He also pointed out that the players are not in good condition at the stadium. Under the current circumstances, China is on the verge of being eliminated from the World Cup. Ivankovic's position has also begun to become unstable. Currently, his position is relatively stable, and the Chinese Football Association has no plans to replace him right away. However, this is not the fact that he can rest."

"Iraq has recently decided to replace Jesus Casas. According to Iraqi media, the Football Association of Iraq currently has three coaches, including Ivankovic, as candidates. Since Iraq can afford to pay the penalty for his replacement, it will now depend on whether Ivankovic is willing to leave China and join Iraq. It is dangerous to change the coach of the Chinese national team at such an important time,' he said, explaining that the Chinese national team is on the verge of leaving the coach ahead of its last challenge.

China, which sought to advance to the World Cup finals for the first time in 14 years since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is likely to be eliminated from the World Cup finals in the third qualifying round in Asia. It lost both the 7th and 8th games in March, staying at the bottom of Group C with two wins and six losses. It is difficult to guarantee victory in the remaining schedule with Indonesia and Bahrain in the 4th place, although it is necessary to raise the ranking to the 4th place.

If Ivankovic leaves the team under this circumstance, even the leader who will lead the team until the June A match will disappear. This is news that will completely dampen hope.

Iraq is reportedly looking for a new coach candidate after replacing Casas, who was previously mentioned as a candidate for the Korean national team, and Ivankovic is also believed to have been nominated. Iraq is currently third in Group B, and it is highly likely that it will continue its hope until the fourth qualifying round. If Ivankovic cannot expect much from China, going to Iraq could be more attractive. 안전놀이터

Sohu said, "China has only two months left to play its birthplace in June. If a new coach has to come and adapt to the team and develop a strategy during such a short period of time, such a challenge is undoubtedly very dangerous," adding, "If the coach leaves, he will be in a big crisis."
