Gazi eyes glory days

Sports Reporter
After a miserable performance in the last season, Arambagh Krira Sangha set their sights on the recuperation as they signed up 13 players yesterday to give a final shape to its squad.
Arambagh KS had earlier roped in six players including veteran striker Alfaz Ahmed and of the 19 players? they retained the services of eleven players and brought the rest from Chittagong Mohammedan, Muktijoddha Sangsad, Farashganj SC and Sheikh Russel KC.
"Arambagh were among the top five sides for long in (he league table, but last season they performed miserably to finish ninth in the 11-team B. League and now I am thinking of taking them back to their previous position in the league," said coach Wazed Gazi.
The season's curtain-raising tournament, Federation Cup, is scheduled to start from September 10 and Gazi wants the tournament to be a preparation for the professional league, the B. League.
"Practically we are not going to battle for the championship, but what I want is that the opponents must take Arambagh seriously before facing them," said (jazi adding that they were going to launch the training from September I.
The focus of the training would mainly be on the players' fitness during the nine-day camp, said Gazi, who last season coached Sheikh Russel who finished third.
Though the coach has no clear concept about his players, he hoped to make his charges fighters with his coaching experience.
"I have never been on the backfoot after coming to the coaching profession and this time also I do not want to go backward and 1 think the players will work hard with me and give the opponents a tough time on the field."
Once giant-killers Arambagh with four wins failed to qualify for the one-crore taka Super Cup last season after finishing ninth in the B. League and managed to score only 14 goals in 20 outings, but the inclusion of Alfaz Ahmed would certainly be an added motivation for others this time.
