Mohibullah and Waqar have voiced strong confidence as Pakistan prepares to face Myanmar, saying the squad is better prepared, more cohesive and ready to deliver a positive result. The pair point to an intensive training camp and clearer game plans as key reasons for a renewed belief in the team’s prospects.
Waqar stressed the team’s conviction, saying their preparation is stronger this time and expressing hope for victory. Mohibullah echoed that optimism and said the side will aim to perform even better than in previous outings, highlighting steady gains across all departments.
Players have responded well to the coaching staff’s approach, according to Mohibullah, who noted that training has created a focused and motivated environment. Head coach Shahzad Anwar Solano has been central to this shift, fostering a relaxed yet professional atmosphere and placing trust in domestic talent to inject fresh energy into the squad.
Training standards have been high, with sessions designed to reinforce tactical discipline and build confidence. Fitness work led by trainer Raiyan Abbasi has been a priority, and Waqar described the squad’s conditioning as tremendous after overcoming the initial disruption of Ramadan. The team has now regained sharpness following concentrated sessions together.
Despite the absence of several senior and overseas players, Mohibullah pointed out that continuity remains because many squad members have trained together before. Younger players have adapted quickly to the system and contributed positively, helping maintain cohesion and communication across the group.
Recent matches against strong opponents such as Syria and Afghanistan have also helped Pakistan football sharpen its competitive edge, Waqar said, and a positive previous meeting with Myanmar adds to the squad’s confidence. Mohibullah acknowledged the unusual challenge of playing in quieter venues, noting that football thrives on atmosphere, but he assured supporters the team is fully committed to giving its best on the pitch.
