Kathmandu, July 10: The
Bangladesh U23 National Team, currently in Nepal for an international friendly to
prepare for the ‘AFC U-23 Championship 2018’ to be held later this month in
Palestine, had rigorous training sessions on Sunday, July 9 at the All Nepal
Football Association (ANFA) Astroturf in Kathmandu.
Warm up sessions followed by ball to ball attacking play took place in the turf
from 5-6:30pm (Nepal local time), which rejuvenated the players after a tiring
journey.
Coach Andrew Ord, guiding the contingent, was highly satisfied with the
dedication and commitment of the players as they continued training sessions
amid intermittent rain. All the journeys seemed nothing to the pumped up
players, which made the coach even happier.
Following fast paced and dynamic practice, the team headed back to the hotel at
8:30pm for dinner.
The second day in Nepal, Monday, July 10, started with a balanced breakfast at
9:30am. At 10am, the coach called on the players to hold on to their mental
strength, and asked them to take their experiences back to their individual
clubs so the country can have a more professional football environment.
Practice sessions on Monday are scheduled to begin at 2:45pm and team captain
Sohel Rana along with coach Ord will speak in a press conference at 2pm.
