Player of Bangladesh National Football team Mahbubur Rahman Sufil said, “Jamie Day’s lessons about practice are always helpful for us. He can understand us. He knows what will work for us. I would like to thank him for his experience and fruitful coaching for us. We also can understand him. Jamie has given us everything we need.”
Sufil said, “Jamie always stays in touch with us. We have a WhatsApp group including him and he gives directions there. We know he does these for our improvement; we also want to get back on the pitch. The combination of foreign and local coaches of Bangladesh is really good. Our Assistant Coach Masud Parvej Kaisar, who is a Bangladeshi, has been doing well with Jamie Day and other coaching staff. Kaisar Bhai explains Jamie’s plans and directions to us; he mainly works on our fitness. Kaisar Bhai also stays in touch with us, I think Jamie-Kaisar Bhai combination is really good for us.”
