SKOR.id - Pelatih Timnas Cina, Branko Ivankovic, membidik laga kandang versus Indonesia, pekan depan, sebagai momentum kebangkitan pasukannya.

Seperti diketahui, perjalanan Timnas Cina di putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia sejauh in sangat suram. Tiga kali bertanding, tiga kali pula mereka kalah.

Terkini, The Dragon Team menyerah 1-3 dari tuan rumah Australia dalam duel di Stadion Adelaide Oval, Kamis (10/10/2024) lalu.

Sempat memimpin lewat gol Xie Wenneng di menit ke-20, gawang Cina lantas dijebol bergantian oleh Lewis Miller (45+2'), Craig Goodwin (53'), dan Nishan Velupillay (90+2').

Dengan demikian, wakil Asia Timur itu terpuruk di dasar klasemen Grup C putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia, dengan 0 poin. Parahnya lagi, Zhang Yuning dan kawan-kawan baru mencetak dua gol dan kebobolan 12 kali!

Meski begitu, Branko Ivankovic belum mau melempar handuk. Sang pelatih yakin timnya masih bisa mencapai target finis di zona empat besar dan menjaga peluang lolos ke Piala Dunia 2026.

Juru taktik asal Krosia itu beralasan, Timnas Cina sejauh ini selalu mendapatkan lawan berat. Jepang, Arab Saudi, dan Australia, yang mengalahkan mereka, merupakan tim-tim favorit.

Oleh karena itu, Ivankovic yakin pasukannya akan mulai bangkit dan meraih hasil positif ketika menghadapi Indonesia, Selasa (15/10/2024) mendatang. Apalagi laga dihelat di kandang, Stadion Qindao.

"Masih ada tujuh laga tersisa, dan target kami tetap finis empat besar demi menjaga peluang lolos ke Piala Dunia," kata Branko Ivankovic usai laga lawan Australia, dikutip dari Global Times.

"Pertandingan berikutnya melawan Indonesia akan menjadi awal perjuangan yang sesungguhnya, dan pasti akan butuh usaha lebih (besar) untuk meraih hasil positif," dia menambahkan.

Kepercayaan diri Ivankovic ini wajar. Indonesia memang memiliki ranking FIFA terendah di Grup C dan dianggap sebagai kuda hitam.

Namun, setelah melihat performa skuad Shin Tae-yong dalam tiga laga pembuka, di mana mereka mampu mengimbangi para raksasa macam Arab Saudi, Australia, dan Bahrain, Ivankovic juga tak mau menganggap remeh.

"Saya tahu mereka punya banyak pemain naturalisasi yang main di Eropa, jadi tidak bisa dipandang enteng. Kami harus bersiap sepenuhnya, menunjukkan ketangguhan dan agresivitas untuk menyelesaikan tugas," ujar mantan pelatih Timnas Iran dan Oman tersebut.

Duel Cina versus Indonesia akan dihelat di Qingdao Youth Football Stadium pada Selasa (15/10/2024) pukul 19.00 WIB.
