Gwangju concentrated

Jeddah-die foreign players from Al-Hilal made the Saudi team one of the favorites to raise the elite title of the Asian Champions League, but Gwangju coach Lee Jung-Hyo has its sights on the club’s domestic contingent on Friday.

The outfit based in Riyadh strives for a record title that strives for the fifth continental title when the final phase of this year’s competition in Jeddah begins with attention to the TaDell talent within the side of Jorge Jesus.

While the Serbian duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic played in a team of top-class obligations such as Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo, Lee believes that the key that has resident against Al-Hilal lie.

“We have to take care of the Saudi Arabian players, their domestic players,” said Lee, who led the South Korean association to the continental championship for the first time.

“We know the big players, we know how to play. We have to keep an eye on Salem Al-Dawsari, Mohamed Kanno or Ali al-Bulayhi. They are the players who are the core of Al-Hilal. We have to take care of them.”

Gwangju goes into the collision in the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium when outsiders have already been presented with the expectations of the last eight.

After a series of impressive displays in the league phase, the Koreans fought back from a two-goal deficit in the first leg to remove J-League champions Vissel Kobe in the previous round.

The Albanian winger of Gwangju, Jasir Asani, is the leading goal scorer of the tournament with nine goals and Lee knows that his players have to be switched on for the duration of the quarter -finals if they are supposed to prevail.

“Every minute, every second will be very valuable for us,” he said. “The game may take 100 minutes and this is a shop window for us to show the world how we play.

“Tomorrow’s game or dies. You will win and one will die.”

Al-Hilal goes into the collision in the middle of a stuttering form and causes Jesus to alleviate the expectations of the demanding supporters of his club.

“We know that this team (Gwangju) is very strong that they had good performance and good strikers with good potential,” said the experienced Portuguese coach. “We will face a team that plays well in a collective way.

“We saw the games they played before. We are aware of all the details of our opponent and can say that they are a strong team and that the match will make more difficult.” Reuters
