SpoRTS REpoRTER
Muktijoddha Sang-sad Krira Chakra captain Matiur Mu-nna said that their ploy to first absorb the pressure and then try to hit on the break won them the Tibet 19th Federation Cup yesterday.
The Reds dethroned the black and whites with an exciting 2-1 win with Rokonuzzaman Kanchan scoring the golden goal 22 minutes into the sudden death extra time.
"We had to resort to a defensive tactic because both of our attackers Kanchan and Moni were carrying slight injuries. But Kanchan showed his class with that beautiful header," said an elated Munna after avenging their 1-0 in last year's final.
But the national midfielder admitted that his team had a slice of luck on their side against a stronger opponent.
"The luck was smiling on us because we really perform to our high standards. May be we were awful, but it's the result that counts in the end," said the country's number one midfielder and hero of Bangladesh SAFF Championship triumph in January this year.
But the Muktijoddha captain was not happy with the refereeing, as the official was unable at times to control the clash of the titans.
"Refereeing was very poor today. Had he been tough on rough play it could have been an entertaining affair, he said adding that he was very pleased seeing a handful of red supporters cheering them from start to
finish.
Muktijoddha coach Shafiqul Islam Manik thought that the negative attitude of Mohammedan helped his players on the day.
"They were not in a positive frame of mind today and that did allow them to play their normal game. That's why they lost even though were laden with foreign talent," said one of the highly regarded coaches for the last half a decade.
Although Muktijoddha are known as a team that loves to attack, Manik admitted that he was forced to adopt a defensive game because Kanchan and Moni were not hundred per cent fit.
Man of the moment Kanchan, who joined the reds from Moha-mmedan this season, was understandable over the moon for enhan-cing his growing reputation as a player for the big stage.
"I was confident of scoring today but I thought it would never come until Lajuk floated that brilliant cross," said Kanchan adding that he was prepared to forget the pain barrier after he was named in the starting eleven.
While Muktijoddha were basking in the glory, the mood in the defeated camp was utter dejection.
"It was a gift to Muktijoddha from us because we did not have any quality goalkeeper, " said a frustrated Mohammedan captain Jewel Rana while blaming his goalkeeper Milan for failing to stop Kanchan score the golden goal.
"But overall I'm happy with the way we played today. A defeat is always a bitter pill to swallow," said Jewel, who is arguably one of the country's finest defenders.
