Dido picks unknowns

Sports Reporter
Edson Silva Dido took one step forward towards his vision to build a team for the future when the Brazilian coach announced a 30-membcr preliminary national squad yesterday bringing ten young and fresh players to the fold
The only surprise was the omission of promising striker Robin who was excluded from the list along with big names like central defender Sujan and former captain Matiur Munna apart from young midfielder Sharif and Pranotosh.
SQUAD
GOALKEEPERS: Amlnul Haque, Mazharul Islam Himel (Mohammedan), Biplob Bhattacharya (Abahani) and Mustaqur Rahman (Muktijoddha).
DEFENDERS: Rajani Kanta Barman. Nasirul Islam Nasir, Kazi Mofazzel Hossain Saikat (Mohammedan), Wali Faisal (Abahani), Atiqul Islam Mishu, Ariful Islam (Brothers), Rashedul Islam Rashed (Badda), Mamun Miah, Russell Ansan (Farashganj), Rezaul Kanm Reza (Youngmen's) and Al Amin (Under-16).
MIDFIELDERS: Zahed Parvez, Mamunul Islam Mamun (Abahani), Arman Aziz, (Mohammedan), Zahid Hossa n (Brothers), Imtiaz Sultan Z/tu (Chittagong Mohammedan), Mobarak Hossain Bhuiyan (Russell), Mezbahul Haque Babul. Aamgr Kabir Rana (BKSP), Imon Mahmud (Under-20) and Nayeem Hossain (Under-16).
STRIKERS: Zahid Hasan Emily (Abahani). Enamul Haque (Farashganj), Abdul Baten Majumder (Mohammedan), Mithun Chowdhury (Chittagong Abahani) and Sabbir Mahmud Pritom (Youngmen's).
All the five players except Pranotosh were part of Dido's squad for the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers.
Three of them have slowed down with age and young ones are not able to follow the instructions in the field. 1 am looking forward to the future of Bangladesh and I believe at least six out of the ten rookies will represent Bangladesh national team by the end of this year,” the Brazilian explained citing the reasons about why he called ten new faces and dropped big names.
Dido was courageous enough to bring up players like Al-Amin and Nayeem Hossain from the Under-16 level apart from Under-20 player Imon Mahmud to the preliminary squad that will become the core of the Bangladesh team for this year's SAFF Championship and the SA Games in 2010.
“For the Challenge Cup qualifiers, I included only five young players because I had very little time for preparation. This time I have more time to prepare them," said the Brazilian who takes the team into a three-week conditioning camp in Cox's Bazar this week.
The lanky national coach was also very much confident about the young players he picked up for the first time in the squad.
"I had spent some time with most of these players at a camp in BKSP and I believe they will boost our national team in the future."
“If we can train this squad for three months, we would be able to prepare them for higher level competitions. And it would be great if we can play in an international tournament or some practice matches like I have been promised by the federation,” he hoped.He however said that the squad has blended experience and youth perfectly and urged everybody to be patient with the team.
‘T also have some experienced players who have proven themselves in the past and 1 think the right balance between experience and youth is very important for the success of a team. I believe I have that balance in the team. The experienced ones have also showed their worth and positive leadership by helping out the newcomers on and off the field.
“All I hope is that we can work properly and 1 would ask everyone to be patient about the national team. If anyone works with the right tools, he can develop the team and also get results. There is no alternative for hard work in football," he said.
Dido, who helped Bangladesh qualify for the final round of the AFC Challenge Cup as the best runners-up of four groups, will go into a three-month training programme with the big contingent before the domestic season kicks off.
