Mamunul has taken part in five Saff tournaments but is yet to clinch the title. "Whether I'm in the side or not, we should target the title at our backyard. We have the ability. There are many new players in the side. We can taste success if we are able to form a good squad," Mamunul explained. Bangladesh will take on Bhutan in the second match of the opening day, with one eye on revenge. The men in red and green conceded a listless 3-1 defeat against Bhutan two years ago in the Asian Cup Qualifiers but Mamunul believes they have what it takes to get the better of the opposition in their opening game. "Accidents don't happen every time. Brazil suffered a 7-1 loss against Germany. That only happened once. It won't happen everytime. I believe we have the ability to beat Bhutan. But we have to start our preparation straightaway," Mamunul concluded.
