According to the People's Daily client, on the evening of September 10th, the Chinese men's football team suffered two consecutive defeats with a score of 1-2 against Saudi Arabia in the second round of the round of 18 of the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifiers. In the first 14 minutes, the Chinese team took the lead, and in the 19th minute, the opponent sent off another player. The Chinese team achieved a dream start, but they were still the losing team. In this game that should have earned points, Chinese team head coach Ivankovic's on-the-spot command is undoubtedly to blame
A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. The Chinese team has basically emerged from the shadow of a disastrous first round defeat in this game, and has shown a good mental outlook on the field. However, due to the improper command of the head coach, they were unable to score a point in a good situation. In the group stage of 10 games, the Chinese team, which has suffered two consecutive losses, has already come to the bottom. Whether it is a big defeat or a disastrous comeback, it is not inevitable. At this time, someone should step forward and take responsibility.
