The Bangladesh under-23 football team are confident they can pull off a
Jakarta victory against Qatar
Palembang in their last match of 2018 Group B as they look
to seal a knockout round berth in the Asian Games for the first time.
While a draw could even be good enough to see them through, the men in red and green are looking to grab all three points against a side, which they think 'lack intensity and hunger'.
The match kicks off at 6:00pm Bangladesh time at the Patriot Chandrabagha Stadium on the outskirts of Jakarta.
The top two teams from each of the six groups and the four best third-place finishers will go through. Uzbekistan have already sealed their qualification with two victories while Thailand are in second position with two points. Bangladesh and Qatar have one point each, but Bangladesh are ahead on goal difference.
Jamal Bhuiyan, the team's captain and one of the three senior players in the side, said they will create enough scoring opportunities and that they
should cash in on those chances. "I don't think we ever qualified for the knock-out phase. This is a great opportunity for us and we should grab it with both hands," the 28-year-old midfielder said while talking to reporters at the team hotel yesterday afternoon.
"They [Qatar] didn't look serious at all. And they are not that good either. They have some good players, but they have weaknesses defensively. We will have chances to score surely and we will have to
take those chances," Jamal added.
The team went through more than an hour long practice session in the morning at a local football field in Bekasi, close to where they are currently staying. The players' body language, both at the training ground and back at the hotel, spoke of a confidence that is seldom seen within them. This is perhaps an outcome of the dominant draw against an expectedly-superior Thailand team, and the expectation of the knockout round beckoning.
Watching Qatar go down 6-0 against Uzbekistan, who had beaten Bangladesh 3-0 in the opening match, is surely another source of that confidence.
The team's assistant coach Mahbub Hossain Roxy said that the players should take advantage of the slow pace of the Qataris.
“Uzbekistan were pretty fast. But Qatar are much slower. So, we should use that to our advantage. We will play the way we did in the other games, and hopefully we can
secure three points, which will take us to the next round," the former coach of the under-19 team, who knows many of these players from close quarters, said.
However, everyone feels that Jamie Day's charges let a great opportunity to secure three points slip in that 1-1 draw against Thailand. They created three scoring opportunities in the first half, and centre-forward Mahbubur Rahman Sufil, who scored the goal, spumed two chances in the first half which should have killed the game as a contest.
Goalkeeper Ashraful Islam Rana, another senior player in the side, admitted he made a mistake in the goal that Bangladesh conceded but also hoped that it will not be repeated next time.
“Had we got those early goals, things would have been different. Maybe on another occasion, I would have handled the ball more adeptly. But these things sometimes happen when the margin is little. Hopefully it will not happen again,” the national team's goalkeepersaid.
The coach did not give any indications about the playing eleven, but he is not expected to tinker with the 4-2-3-1 formation, although they may not defend as deep as they have previously.
