The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus of Al Hilal stated that he has a passion for achieving the AFC Champions League title this season, especially since it brings together the best teams in the continent.
Jesus said during his press conference on Thursday: "When we face teams at the Asian championship level, we must play at our best because the levels of the teams are close."
He added: "All teams have equal chances, and there is no team more favored to win the title; Al Hilal has previously won the title in multiple editions."
He continued: "It is a great honor for us to have the team among the top 8 teams in Asia; last season we won everything except this championship. The match is difficult, but step by step we will strive to win the title."
He concluded: "The tournament's top scorer belongs to the Guangzhou team, and their team has good Brazilian players I know, so the match will be tough. Our goal tomorrow is to win and reach the furthest point in the tournament."
