BPFL kicks off on Tuesday
Dhaka, April 6: The Manyavar Bangladesh Premier Football League kicks off on Tuesday with defending champions Sheikh Jamal Dhanmiondi Club Ltd facing Farashganj Sporting Club at 5:00 pm at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Sheikh
Jamal skipper Nasiruddin Chowdhury said it is harder to defend the
title rather than winning it. "We are ready to defend the title but when
you are not the champions its different, playing as the champions adds
some pressure on you, its difficult to keep the momentum" said Nasir.
His
counterpart Shujon Chowdhury said they have nothing to lose. "We are
not afraid of Sheikh Jamal, we have returned to the top flight after a
season and we are ready to face the challenge" said the goalkeeper
