It is not said that in football you have to keep playing with strong opponents. By taking the opportunity of the Four Nations Cup, Nepal has been able to face Myanmar, which is much stronger than itself and much higher in the ranking in women's football.

Not once but twice. The first match has ended in a draw. It became clear from that game that there are many weaknesses in Nepal's defense. 

Nepali defender Geeta Rana looks very strong when playing against weaker than her. After the match against Myanmar, this fact has been confirmed, they also need to improve. In the first match, Savitra Bhandari initially created a goal opportunity. Then she scored a goal herself.

means, Savitra is able to break the defense line of a strong opponent with ease. To understand the same fact, friendly international games are needed. This is another elaborate form of friendly football, a tournament like the Four Nations Cup. 

These two teams are fighting for the title on Wednesday at Dasharath Stadium. At the end of the league stage of the four-team competition, Myanmar and Nepal have reached the final after being in the top two positions. Both are on the same 7 points and both are undefeated. Myanmar was ahead by only a goal difference. Despite traveling the same route, Myanmar and Nepal have different paths to the finals. If Nepal is playing under the pressure of having to win, Myanmar will play well.  The prematch conference on the day before the

final saw a clear glimpse of this. Coach Rajendra Tamang has been saying since the beginning of the tournament that what Nepali football needs is victory. Nepali women's football has played the finals of different competitions 12 times so far. However, there is one result in all, the runner-up. The Nepali women's team has not won a single title in the history of international football for nearly four decades. 

has established a standard of 'zinc'. It says, Nepal reaches the final of women's football, but fails to achieve the decisive goal. Therefore, there is pressure on the Nepali women's national team, they have to win the title at some point. Under this pressure, Nepal has not been able to see anything other than the goal of winning the title. 

Captain Angela Tumbapo Subba says, "We will try everything to win the title." She adds, "We have come close to the title many times and missed. We don't want to repeat this in the next final. We will all give 100 percent to win the first international title. All players have the feeling that they must win. We are ready to face Myanmar.' 

Coach Tamang says, 'We have got another chance at home. Don't miss it this year. Myanmar is a strong team. We believe that we can beat that team.'

It is clear in this, in a way, the Nepali team has put itself under pressure. What Nepali football needs to understand is that the Four Nations Cup itself is not an official tournament. From the point of view of Nepali women's football, this tournament has already proved to be very successful. It has proven that international women's football has huge potential. You just have to invest in it, big achievements are not far away. 

Is it less than a title? Coach Tamang spoke about another strategic fact. The nature of the game he emphasized is such that the player does not have a single moment of silence and rest. Play consistently at a fast pace. For those who cannot play in 'Hyperpress', the opportunities for them will decrease. 

Now about the Myanmar team. Regarding the Four Nations Cup, Myanmar and its head coach Tatsuro Uki have adopted a completely different strategy compared to Nepal. Uki is a Japanese trainer. He has the experience of managing big clubs in J-League. Like most Japanese, he is extremely humble. They talk so rudely.

He never gets tired of thanking Nepal and All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) for organizing the Four Nations Cup. The only strategy he has prepared for this tournament is to give opportunities to all the players he brought to Kathmandu and check their performance. This is a very professional strategy. 

Myanmar has fielded 22 players in three matches. That means all the 'out field' players got a chance. Only the third-choice goalkeeper is not on the field. Coaches want to test all their players. In that sense, he has taken full advantage of the Four Nations Cup. Coach Uki has had the opportunity to speak in front of the Nepali media, the essence of it is almost the same. 

He says, 'Nepali team is good. The performance of Nepalese players is high. It is also great for us to play this tournament, because it is through such tournaments that our players learn. We have fielded our best players in every game. The same sequence repeats itself in the final. We believe the finals will be highly contested. You will be able to watch high-level matches. His special vision is towards the June-July World Cup, Asia Cup and Olympic qualifiers.
