Bangladesh is more confident than before. Being 160 steps ahead at home did not allow Australia to win easily, it suffered a lot. Taking inspiration from that match, Bangladesh face Lebanon on Tuesday in the final group match of the World Cup qualifiers. Jamal Bhuiyara wants to compete hard in the match at Khalifa International Stadium in Al Rayyan at 10 pm Bangladesh time. TSports is giving you the opportunity to watch the match live.
Everyone is aiming for a positive result against Lebanon. Spanish coach Javier Cabrera said directly in the video message given by Bafuf today, ‘This is the time to take steps to implement our process or plan, which we started two and a half years ago. We have to send the message to the rest of the teams that we are tough opponents in Asia. We know that if we get the points tomorrow, we can improve the ranking and that will have a positive impact on the upcoming competitions.’
Bangladesh is going to face the Lebanese team for the third time in the recent past. So the Middle East team has a pretty good idea. For this reason, Kabarra warned in advance, ‘This is the third time we are facing Lebanon. We know them, a bit tough team. Several times they changed coaches, played us under different coaches. He is a different team now than before; More aggressive, more physical than Saf. Then there are their individual craft players. But I think the game plan we have is to adapt to Lebanon’s strategy.
Bangladesh team wants to return home with a positive experience after playing the last match of the group. Kabarra made it clear, ‘The team is inspired by everything in Qatar. The boys enjoyed every day here. There are more reasons to be motivated about the Lebanon match. We want to end the qualifiers with a positive result, which will have an impact on the rankings as well as the next Asia Cup qualifiers and the 2025 qualifiers.’
Bangladesh is aiming for three points against Lebanon, which is 64 steps ahead in the FIFA ranking. And if that doesn’t happen, then Khushi Kabarera at least gets a point, ‘the goal of a competitive game. We came here with a very good performance against Australia. We want to finish the group stage with a good result. I will fight for three points. Hopefully, we will finish the qualifiers by getting at least 1 point.
