Shantoo still not impressed

Sports Reporter
The national football team put behind their disappointment of the first practice match when they won the second game against BFF XI 2-0 at the BKSP in Savar yesterday.
Having lost the first match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium, where the national team will launch the 11th SAFF Championship campaign next month, by a solitary goal against top tier side Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra, the boys of interim coach Shahidur Rahman Shantoo fared batter in the second practice game at the country's lone complete sports facilities.
For records' sake, young striker Mithun Chowdhury put the national team ahead in the 70th minute before another young forward Abdul Baten Komol sealed the fate of the game 10 minutes from time.
The national team won the match but hardly impressed Shantoo, who took the hot seat after tht sacking of Brazilian coach Edson Dido Silva following a dispute over the selection of a young side for the biggest football event of this region.
Shantoo said that his side upped their performance compared to the first match against Sheikh Russel. But he was still bothered with the mistakes committed in every department
ahead of the final test against Ulsan Hyundai FC of South Korea tomorrow.
The match against the Korean giants, who however did not send a full-strength side, will take place at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Shantoo said that the match would be very important for the players as the performance in that game would play a part on the declaration of the 20-member final squad after the match.
In yesterday s match, Shantoo tried all his players dividing them into two groups. Seven young players were replaced in the second half with Mithun ahd Komol taking opportunities to score two good goals.
He also observed that his side appeared more organised in the second half compared to the first 45 minutes.
"Compared to the first match, the boys played better today (Tuesday) though there are still some problems in all departments — forward, midfield and defence and we have to overcome those problems quickly despite the fact that we have got little time before the championship,” said Shantoo.
’ I am satisfied with the way the boys have played," Shantoo said. "The positive from this match was that the players found the target that they desperately missed in the first warm-up match."
The coach thinks the players reflected only 5o to 60 percent of his tactics, technique and strategy.
