Is Hamza Chowdhury the new savior, or an opportunity for a change of direction?
Is Hamza Chowdhury the new savior, or an opportunity for a change of direction?

On March 17, around noon, a tall body landed at Sylhet International Airport. A head full of shaggy hair. A crowd immediately formed around him. After a long wait, the one who came from England, drenched in the love of the people of Bangladesh, is Hamza Choudhury. His full name is Hamza Dewan Choudhury. A footballer who grew up in the light, air and system of England. The Bangladesh national team has never had such a high-profile footballer in history. To tell the truth, he never dreamed of having one before.
There is a cacophony of 120 decibels all around. Fatigue is evident on the body. He is sweating. Meanwhile, in response to the journalists' demands, Hamza Sileti said in colloquial language, '...we win Kharmu'.
On Tuesday, March 25, it will be known at around 10 pm whether Bangladesh will win the match against India in Shillong, a northeastern hill town near Sylhet. Before that, even beyond the borders of Bangladesh, millions of eyes will be glued to that shaggy-haired, long-haired body and the number eight jersey. Will Bangladesh win? The entire country is filled with anticipation. Hamzai has tied the thread of expectation very high, saying, '...We win, Khormu' before putting on the jersey of the country!
If we win, the mercury will rise unusually in Hamza fever. Even if we draw, it is unlikely that Hamza will see the tide of madness. We may not have been able to win this match, but Hamza will still have the tonic to win the return match. If we lose, it will be a disaster. Our natural emotions will be hurt. We can even say, "We can't do it with Hamza anymore."
The ambition of success without investment disappoints us a little. I don't know how much we are willing to accept that in an 11-man football team, a single player cannot perform miracles with a magic wand. We have not forgotten the example of Zesh Rehman, who played for the Pakistan team in SAFF Football in 2005.
The defender, who played for English Premier League team Fulham, came to Pakistan with high expectations. He couldn't do much. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 1-0 in the semi-finals and reached the final. Jesher was not seen playing for Pakistan again.
