AFC Champions League Final Second Leg. 14th Nov Wed 19:20



Holger Osieck's comment for the final - from the official press conference

Q: What is the meaning of winning the championship tomorrow for Urawa?

Osieck: You come to Japan and see Urawa town in Saitama city, what do you think about Urawa town? Now whole city are prepared for the match and all people in Saitama are supporting us hardly really wanting Urawa's victory. The match tomorrow is very important not only for giving them a victory experience, but also for rewarding them for what they have done for us. Saitama is the district where the soccer is more than an entertainment, but has a social significance. So, we will win tomorrow, develop this wonderful thing, and spread to other Asian countries.



Comments from Luka Bonacic (Sepahan)

Q: Can you sleep tonight?

Bonacic: Coach is such a business that we can be nervous before the match. But, I promise you! We will play excellent soccer. I don't know it is difficult or not, we will play the match that tomorrow's soccer can help making more friends in the world, like FIFA says. Win or lose, it is not important. A loss is only a result.



All the Strength, All the Passion
All the Pride

Win the Asia.
