As Nepali women's football is approaching 40 years of international participation, 11 players have got the opportunity to lead
Nepali women's football has now reached that stage, where a lot can be said by playing with the statistics. First of all, Captain Angela Tumbapo Subba. Two years ago, an Olympic qualifying match was held in Kathmandu, against Vietnam.
Nepal lost both games and Angela's position in the team was questioned. Angela was very emotional when answering the journalist about this, she couldn't stop herself from crying. Under Angela's leadership, Nepal played its first match of the Four Nations Cup against Kyrgyzstan. It remains special for him as a
personal achievement. As Nepali Women's Football is approaching 40 years of international participation, 11 players have had the opportunity to lead the team so far. Playing for the country is considered big. And the achievement of captaincy is great, it can be easily estimated.
In this background, Angela has become the Nepali player who has captained the most matches. The game against Kyrgyzstan is his 20th game under his leadership. She has surpassed Niru Thapa in this process. Niru captained Nepal in 19 matches. Now the number of games led by Angela has reached 20. At the same time, she has surpassed Niru in another statistic as well. In the 19 games played under Niru's captaincy, 9 wins were achieved.
The victory against Kyrgyzstan was Nepal's tenth victory under the leadership of Angela. He is second in terms of winning the most matches as a captain. More than him, Jamuna Gurung has acquired 13 wins as a captain. Still Angela will not stop playing for Nepal as a captain. In this way, many records will be added to his name. Perhaps criticism against herself should have made Angela stronger.
She has also played in Europe. His confidence in his own language is growing. There are still some weaknesses in Angela's game. They must improve. Who is the player who has no weaknesses? The only question is how accurate the criticisms leveled at him are. The match against Kyrgyzstan was also special for Savitra Bhandari. That match of the Four Nations Cup was the 50th 'cap' for him.
As a female player, there are very few players who have touched this figure for the Nepali national team. She is also involved in it. Savitra plays in Europe and her chances are still alive. Savitra would have played more games if not for injuries and illness. Speaking of more games, who is the player who has played the most games for Nepal in Nepali women's football? The answer was in this match against Kyrgyzstan.
Angela played in that game from the beginning. And Anita Basnet and Amrita came in as substitute players in the second half. Coincidentally, all these three players won their 55th match for Nepal in this match and they are jointly the most capped players for Nepal. Another player has also played as many games for Nepal. She is Hirakumari Bhujel. She played her 55th match against Bhutan in SAFF Championship.
Until then, she was the player who played the most games for Nepal. Unfortunately, she was injured in that match. She is now recovering. In this way, four players have played 55 times for Nepal. When Nepal will play against Lebanon, the record of the player who played the most for Nepal will take a new turn. The thing is, the more games there are, the more the stats become and those stats make the game more exciting.
