As his team prepares to play their last group stage encounter against Bhutan, Bangladesh head coach Javier Cabrera made two lineup adjustments.
His team has a very straightforward path to advancing to the semifinals from here.
Sheikh Morsalin, who scored the third goal in their 3-1 victory over Maldives despite replacing Faisal Ahmed Fahim up front, was brought in to replace Faisal Ahmed Fahim. Rahmat Mia took over for the injured Tariq Kazi.
The head coach of the Maldives is expected to persist with his game plan, which involves the team not playing with a true striker and instead positioning skipper Jamal Bhuiyan as a false nine.
They will hit the field at 8:00 p.m. with the knowledge that even a loss by the score of 1-0 will be enough to advance them to the competition’s last four for the first time in 14 years.
In today’s opening encounter of Group B, Lebanon secured their status as the group’s victors and will advance to the semifinals as a result of their 1-0 victory against Maldives. The team from the Middle East now leads Maldives and Bangladesh by six points going into their last match of the group stage against Bhutan. The Middle Eastern side currently has nine points after playing three matches.
Due to the fact that the letter ‘h’ is the eighth letter in the alphabet, the number 88 is a reference to the phrase “Heil Hitler” that was used by Nazi Germany.
During the local derby that took place in March between Roma and Lazio, a supporter of Lazio was seen wearing a replica shirt with the name “Hitlerson” and the number 88 printed on the back.
He was a German fan and was one of three individuals who were permanently barred from attending matches by Lazio.
This match, which was also overshadowed by widespread anti-Semitic chanting by Lazio supporters, an offense which resulted to a suspended one-match stand closure, took place on April 14.
A week and a half earlier, a group of about one hundred Lazio fans were caught on camera taking great pride in the fact that they were racist during a song that insulted Roma supporters by claiming that their fathers were deported to Nazi concentration camps.
The event was only one of a litany of incidents involving diehard Lazio supporters, some of whom are among the most conservative in a nation in where fascist fan clubs are a common phenomena.
After being suspended by the club for giving a fascist salute at the conclusion of a match, the handler of Lazio’s eagle mascot lauded dictators Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco during the previous season.
A midfielder for Atalanta named Mario Pasalic and a defender for Lazio named Toma Basic, both of whom have represented Croatia at the international level, wore the number 88 on their Serie A jerseys during the most recent competition.
