A few days ago, he played for the country for the first time in a friendly match against Nepal. This time he made his competitive football debut against Qatar. Despite the team’s great defeat, goalkeeper Zico, 23, has drawn attention.
Bangladesh lost 5-0 in the second round match of the preliminary round of Group E of the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup on Friday at Abdullah Al Khalifa Stadium in Dohar. In the first leg, the team lost 2-0 to the World Cup organizers at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Zico spent a lazy time under the post in the first friendly match against Nepal in the country. In Qatar, a storm has hit him from start to finish. The Bashundhara Kings goalkeeper has been defeated five times. But he also made good stops.
Just before the second goal was digested in the 31st minute, Akram Hasan Afif’s shot was blocked in the final minute. In the 55th minute, Riyadul Hasan Rafi’s forgotten ball, Aladdin’s attempt was returned in exchange for a corner.
In the 64th minute, a long-range shot went high and saved the goal. Al Moez Ali was also on the ball line during the penalty. But the jumper touched Zico’s hand and caught the ball in the net.
The Bangladesh coach is very happy with Zico’s game. The English coach is also satisfied with the team’s game against Qatar with a short preparation.
“Qatar is the best team in Asia. They have been practicing for four months. We practiced for five weeks. They have played against Korea strong in previous matches. I think the boys played well against them.”
“I think I made the right decision to play Zico. Made some good stops. (In competitive soccer) This is his first international match. He has saved something amazing and world class. But it would have been better if the score was 4-0. “
The Bangladesh coach also raised the issue of their differences with the Asian champions.
“We don’t have ball control and technical ability like Qatar. But the guys gave 100 percent. They have worked hard to prepare for the game against Qatar in this short time.”
