On September 23, Australian officials announced that Popovic would take over as the new head coach of the team. In response, media figure Chen Hua posted his comments.
Chen Hua wrote on Weibo: Australia has changed their coach. Generally speaking, a change of coach brings about a fresh start, especially for away games. It’s highly likely that Ivankovic will not escape a third consecutive loss, and there might even be a significant defeat. The only suspense left is the home game against Indonesia. However, considering the extent of Indonesia’s recent player naturalizations, the outlook does not seem promising. Let’s see if the 70-year-old coach can grasp this final lifeline. I’ll say it again, if the competent authorities have decided to play it safe, then fans and media should also remain calm, watch the unfolding events, and continue observing.
