DHAKA, Nov 11, 2020 (BSS) – It has been nearly three weeks since the Bangladesh national football team started their training session from October 24 last for the two-match test series against visiting Nepal.
During the near about three weeks camp, emphasis has been given on players’ fitness because the team is out of the field for a long time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The players are much better position now than they were in the beginning … We are practicing in the way the coaching staff are directing us keeping ahead of the two matches,” said national defender Rahmat Mia during the team’s practice session at the Bangabandhu National Stadium here today.
Though the players stayed at home during the lockdown situation due to COVID-19 pandemic, they continued their individual training which has been proved effective in the training session.
“We properly maintain the schedules which were given to us during the lockdown and it has proved much effective because we have been able to pass all the tests in the training session. It was not possible if we were not in practice at that time,” said the Saif Sporting Club defender.
