Abahani to face Muktijoddha Friday
Dhaka, June 13: Dhaka Abahani limited will face Muktijoddha SKC in the
2nd match of the day of Grameenphone Super Cup at 7:00 pm at the
Bangabandhu National Stadium on Friday.
Reigning champions Dhaka Abahani Ltd expressed firm confidence to win
the Super Cup and to finish its title drought of the season.
Abahani manager Satyajit Das Rupu pledged to bounce back. “We didn’t
have good time this season and when we thought we ended the season empty
handed, Super Cup comes in. Now we have the opportunity to gain something from
this season.
“We had six players injured in the last part of the premier league
which cost us the title” said Rupu
Coach Amalesh Sen said.
“The formation will be different and would not be the same as when we
played foreign players. We have been working for last one week to settle our
formation and whichever suits us, we will field that,”
Muktijoddha coach Shafiqul
Islam Manik was ready to fight it out. “Super Cup is a blessing for us, clubs
get financially benefitted from it. My team is not in a good position in pen
and papers. As there is no foreign player in the Super Cup, teams with most
number of national players are being considered as the favourites but football
is a game how a team performs in particular day so anything can happen, we will
fight for the championship.
