Friday 25-04-2025
Stefano Pioli, the coach of Al-Nassr, confirmed that his team is fully prepared for the upcoming match against Yokohama F. Marinos from Japan.

Al-Nassr will face Yokohama tomorrow, Saturday, in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League.

Pioli said in the pre-match press conference: "We are passionate about winning the cup, and we have worked hard for this moment. We promised the fans that we would give our best, and we will fulfill this promise."

He added: "We respect the opponent; they are an organized team with a high pace of play. But we are ready for that, and we know what we need to do."

In response to a question about the difficulty of facing a team that is in a lower position in the Japanese league, Pioli clarified: "We do not care about the team's position in the local league; what matters to us is the mental and physical preparation of our team. We have watched Yokohama closely and know their strengths. Every ball in the match has value, whether in defense or attack."

Regarding the timing of the match, which will take place at 10:30 PM Saudi time, Pioli said: "In Italy, I would be asleep at this time, but it is a suitable time for the players due to the heat. The most important thing is that we are ready."
