Bangladesh midfielder Hamza Choudhury has declared that all preparations are complete as the national team gears up for a crucial Asian Cup qualifier against India. Despite the disappointment of drawing 2-2 with Nepal in a friendly match last Thursday, Hamza is filled with hope and determination ahead of the upcoming battle at Dhaka’s National Stadium.
In the match against Nepal, Bangladesh had led but were forced to settle for a draw after a last-minute goal from their opponents. Hamza, however, stole the spotlight with two stunning goals—one a breathtaking overhead kick and the other a cool Panenka penalty. Although his performance was outstanding, the draw left the team and fans disappointed, with many feeling they had deserved a victory. Hamza himself admitted to feeling down after the match, but as a seasoned professional, he quickly turned his focus to the bigger picture.
The Leicester City star, who has extensive experience in the English Premier League and now plays in the English Championship, knows better than most that one result does not define a tournament. For Hamza, the Nepal match is already behind him, and he is eager to motivate his teammates and the nation for the next challenge. On his verified Facebook account, Hamza wrote, “All preparations for the big match are complete. I can’t wait to see the same level of support from the fans in the stands tomorrow.”
