Dhangadhi FC is a team that has suddenly lost its rhythm. Dhangadhi had never lost two games in a row before, this time the team is in the same position. Also, the team has won only 2 games in the last 6 matches. The defeat against Lalitpur City FC in Qualifier-1 is still fresh.

Pokhara Thunders is a team that suddenly caught the rhythm. In the last 5 matches, unbeaten Pokhara has conceded only one goal. Everything else is a 'clean seat'. Dhangadhi and Pokhara, who have decided on two different paths, are clashing in Qualifier-Two on Wednesday. This win means entry to the finals of Nepal Super League (NSL).

Waiting for that team there will be defending champions Lalitpur City. Dhangadhi is still going strong, at least on paper. But the worst aspect of the team is that it has really lost its 'momentum' at the crucial stage. The coach of Dhangadhi is Hua Manuel Martinez. The

is probably one of his tactics that has proven to be bad. That is, fielding a second-choice player against FC Chitwan in their final match of the league stage. Dhangadhi's goal should have been to remain unbeaten in the league stage. But Martinez gambled on resting some of his key players. Dhangadhi, which could not escape from the defeat against Chitwan, was finally defeated by Lalitpur. The coach himself must agree to this fact.

That's why he said, "We have chosen a difficult path to reach the final." A third consecutive defeat will not be acceptable for Dhangadhi. So the challenge will be on this coach, to keep all the players of Dhangadhi united and inspire them to enter the final for the third time in a row. Otherwise, what is wrong with the Dhangadhi team itself? The team is good, the main player Levnani Ahmed Hijazi's performance makes all the opponents be careful. And, this same Hijaji could once again be both the spoils and the spoils player for Dhangadhi.

Captain Devendra Tamang looked a bit sad when he appeared before the media last time. The face was dull. However, he did not fail to claim, 'Our goal is still the title.' Pokhara's coach Suman Shrestha has made a bold claim without a plan, 'now our goal is to win the title.' Rhythm, happiness, excitement, revenge are the words, all of them are with the Pokhara team now.

Pokhara, who has won three of the last 5 games, has won against Chitwan in the eliminator, which in itself inspires to play better. Perhaps to some extent, Pokhara does not have star players like Dhangadhi. However, it is a little less. However, Tim looks like a lump. The way Pokhara has bounced back after losing the first two games in the league stage is commendable. The team itself is somewhat of a rebellious streak, with a managerial aspect attached to it.

Those who are watching this team from behind and in front of the screen, are not that popular in Nepali football. He has brought Pokhara to this point by working hard. It should also be appreciated. You can see a clear 'passion' in them. This is one element, which cannot be underestimated by Dhangadhi. Coach Shrestha is so engrossed in his work that the smile has disappeared from his face, he always looks serious.

He's probably a little overtired. However, there is no room to question his passion and dedication. Their 'eliminator' win against Chitwan was truly remarkable in itself. Ghana's Joey Aidoo scored two goals in the team's 3-0 victory. He scored his third goal in the match, making it 50 goals this season. At that time, he was standing bald with his hands outstretched and showing a strange expression. Perhaps his intention was, 'I am there for Pokhara.'

This is an emotional thing. Based on the statistics, Dhangadhi has played three times in the playoffs in NSL, two wins and one loss. The result of defeat is the latter. Chitwan also played three times in the playoffs, one win and two losses. In this, the result of victory is the latter. This is the biggest feature of 'Qualifier-Two'. Dhangadhi and Pokhara have not yet faced each other in the playoffs. They have met three times in three seasons at the

league stage. In the beginning, Dhangadhi won once. After that, two games ended in a draw. In that sense, there is not much difference between the two teams. Let's believe, the third season qualifiers will produce a top-notch game. Again, this is an opportunity for the players of both the teams, in which a good performance can win the heart of the legendary Brazilian player Roberto Carlos.

Hard work is the formula to reach the top level: Carlos

Nepal Super League (NSL) Qualifier-Two will be a big feature. The chief guest of this game will be Brazilian Roberto Carlos. Carlos, the all-time "legend" player in the history of world football, will reach Dasharath Stadium to watch that match on Wednesday. These players arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday morning. 

Carlos, who spent one season as the coach of Delhi Dynamos, has heard something about Nepal and its football during his stay in India. And 52-year-old Carlos, who was happy to hear that there are also Brazilian football supporters in Nepal, said, "I am proud of them, I want to say thank you." 

Wishing the success of NSL, he wanted to convey a message to all football players, "The only formula to reach the top level is hard work, there is no other way."
