The Spanish coach of the Bangladesh football team, Javier Cabrera, has been working for more than three years. Even then, questions are widespread in the football community about his team selection and playing style. Tomorrow’s match between Bangladesh and Singapore is also a test for coach Javier Cabrera.
Coach Javier Cabrera was asked about job concerns at the pre-match press conference today. The Spanish coach gave a rather humorous answer, ‘As far as I know, my contract is until April 30, 2026. I’m not thinking about it. Focus on tomorrow’s match.’
Although the coach described the matter this way, the BFF or the coach can terminate the contract earlier based on discussions. Tomorrow is the Bangladesh-Singapore match in Dhaka. Football frenzy is everywhere in the country. Coach Javier is not taking this as additional pressure, ‘We are fully prepared for tomorrow’s match. We will play to win the match.’
If the Asian Cup qualifiers are drawn at the scheduled time, the game remains undecided. It does not go to extra time or tiebreaker. There are many in the Bangladesh team who are quite skilled at penalties. When asked who will take the shot if Bangladesh gets a penalty during the match, the coach gave surprising information at the press conference, “I have coached 32 matches for Bangladesh. I have not received any penalty so far. But of course, we have players in our team who can take good penalty shots.”
