Addressing the media regarding comparisons made between Farhan's goal and global icons like Lionel Messi, Neymar, or Lamine Yamal, Jamal firmly dismissed the labels, stating: "Farhan needs to build his own profile. There's no need to compare him with anyone else... This is Farhan Ali's goal, not anyone else's." He ranked Farhan's strike and Hamza's spectacular bicycle-kick effort among the top goals seen at the National Stadium. Looking ahead to the semi-final clash against Pakistan, Jamal acknowledged that Pakistan will prove a tougher test than Sri Lanka. He also addressed defensive concerns, noting that the squad will severely miss the injured Saad Uddin—who faces a lengthy layoff due to an ankle tendon tear—necessitating full squad depth and tactical adjustments with players like Hridoy stepping into central defense.
