They started their journey with practically nothing.

 (তারা প্রায় কিছুই না থাকা অবস্থা থেকে তাদের যাত্রা শুরু করেছিল।)


They didn't have any boots or jerseys to wear. (তাদের পরার মতো কোনো বুট বা জার্সিও ছিল না।)


Initially, they played wearing salwar and kamij. (প্রথমদিকে তারা সালোয়ার-কামিজ পরে খেলত।)


They also suffered from malnutrition. (তারা অপুষ্টিতেও ভুগত।)


What made them win against all adversities then? (তবে কী কারণে তারা সব প্রতিকূলতার বিরুদ্ধে জয়ী হতে পেরেছিল?)


What was the magic behind? (এর পেছনে কী ছিল সেই যাদু?)


Mohammad Mafiz Uddin was an assistant teacher at Kalsindur Government Free Primary School where Minati Rani Sheel was the head teacher. 

(মোহাম্মদ মফিজ উদ্দিন ছিলেন কালসিন্দুর সরকারি ফ্রি প্রাথমিক বিদ্যালয়ের সহকারী শিক্ষক, যেখানে মিনতি রাণী শীল ছিলেন প্রধান শিক্ষিকা।)

Girls playing football is still not a common picture in Bangladesh. (বাংলাদেশে মেয়েরা ফুটবল খেলছে—এটা এখনও খুব সাধারণ দৃশ্য নয়।)


Guardians were not convinced as they were used to seeing girls helping mothers with household chores. (অভিভাবকরা রাজি ছিলেন না, কারণ তারা অভ্যস্ত ছিলেন মেয়েদের গৃহকাজে মায়েদের সাহায্য করতে দেখার।)


A farmer, an auto-rickshaw driver, a tea-shop owner or a housemaid mother couldn't be that ambitious either. (একজন কৃষক, অটোরিকশাচালক, চা দোকানদার বা গৃহকর্মীর মা খুব বেশি উচ্চাকাঙ্ক্ষীও হতে পারেননি।)


But Minati Rani Sheel and Mohammad Mafiz Uddin persuaded them to allow their daughters to play. (কিন্তু মিনতি রাণী শীল এবং মোহাম্মদ মফিজ উদ্দিন তাদের রাজি করান যাতে তারা তাদের মেয়েদের খেলতে দেন।)


Being great motivators, the two teachers supported the girls in their effort to overcome the odds. (চমৎকার প্রেরণাদানকারী হিসেবে, ওই দুই শিক্ষক মেয়েদের প্রতিকূলতা কাটিয়ে উঠতে সাহায্য করেন।)


They inspired them, created opportunities for them and took personal care of them. (তারা মেয়েদের অনুপ্রাণিত করেন, তাদের জন্য সুযোগ তৈরি করেন এবং ব্যক্তিগতভাবে খেয়াল রাখেন।)


Soon the girls could prove themselves, shaking off their inhibition. (শীঘ্রই মেয়েরা নিজেদের প্রমাণ করতে সক্ষম হয়, লজ্জা ও সংকোচ কাটিয়ে।)


Their success has also persuaded the villagers to come to their support. (তাদের সাফল্য গ্রামের মানুষকেও তাদের পাশে এসে দাঁড়াতে উদ্বুদ্ধ করে।)


When the girls moved to the nearby secondary school and college, they did not have their Minati Maam and Mafiz Uddin Sir with them, but soon another motherly person offered her helping hand—
(যখন মেয়েরা আশেপাশের মাধ্যমিক স্কুল ও কলেজে চলে যায়, তখন তাদের সঙ্গে আর মিনতি ম্যাম ও মফিজ উদ্দিন স্যার ছিলেন না, তবে অল্প সময়ের মধ্যেই আরেকজন মাতৃতুল্য ব্যক্তি তাদের সাহায্যের হাত বাড়িয়ে দেন—)


Mala Rani Sarkar, an Assistant Professor of History—
(ইতিহাসের সহকারী অধ্যাপক মালা রানী সরকার—)

Bangladesh Football Federation also gave special attention to them (বাংলাদেশ ফুটবল ফেডারেশনও তাদের প্রতি বিশেষ মনোযোগ দেয়)


and finally another football magician, Golam Robbani Choton, the coach of the Bangladesh Women's National Football Team, mentored these girls and helped them become complete professional footballers.
