On July 19, sports blogger "China Super Observer" talked about the recent conflict between Ivan and Wei Shihao rumored on social media. The blogger bluntly said that Ivan really doesn't like Wei Shihao, because the latter does not actively defend in the national team, not only Ivan, but even the former national football coach Li Tie can't accept his problem.

In the final game of the round of 36 against Korea, Wei Shihao surprisingly not only did not start, but also did not even get one minute of substitute play. This also triggered rumors of a "discord" between Wei Shihao and national football coach Ivankovic. And the blogger bluntly said that it is difficult to say whether the two are at odds with each other and whether there are any contradictions, but Ivan does not like Wei Shihao's type of player, which should be certain.

And the important reason why Ivan doesn't like Wei Shihao is that he doesn't defend in the national team. I believe that not only Ivan, but even any other manager can't accept it. Previously, Wei Shihao had a conflict with the former coach of the national football team, Li Tie, to a large extent, because of this. In a national team, no one can be privileged, and anyone has to be involved in defense, unless you are Messi.

The blogger also bluntly said that Wei Shihao is indeed one of the more talented and skilled local players. But if he doesn't defend and doesn't change, he will never have a bright day in the national team, and no matter whether it's Ivan or any head coach, he won't be reused.

Indeed, in the upcoming round of 18, the national football team will be divided into the "group of death", and almost every game will face opponents who are stronger than themselves, and the future tactics of the national team will also be based on defense first, so an attacker with a positive attitude like Baihram may be more appreciated by Ivan. And if Wei Shihao is still like this and does not give effective support to the whole team in the defensive link, I am afraid that he will continue to serve as a substitute in the round of 18.
