Sept 11th News: In the second round of the top 18 matches, the Chinese national team lost 1-2 to 10-man Saudi Arabia at home, raising doubts about the tactics of coach Ivankovic. During the post-match press conference, journalist Sun Lei directly asked Ivankovic, "Will you choose to resign after this game?" As soon as this question was asked, applause broke out in the room.

Journalist Feng Zhen commented on this incident on social media today: "Sun Lei asked Ivankovic yesterday if he would resign, and I think there's nothing wrong with that. But after asking this question, there were some colleagues in the press conference room who seemed to applaud. I think those people are very amateurish. Are they really journalists?" ?
