Riyadh: Tariq al-Rasheed

Riyadh's King Saud University Stadium will witness a decisive public showdown between host Al Hilal and Al Ahli in the return leg of the sixteenth round of the AFC Champions League.
While Al Hilal is playing the game with a big advantage, his opponent, with the slogan "No Impossible in Football", must win three net, or win the same result of the first leg and then referee for prolongation or even penalties, which is very difficult for the fans of his local rival. His players have a great spirit, a tactical discipline and technical skill, including the Italian Sebastian Jovenko, Peruvian Andrei Carillo and French striker Pavitembe Gomez, who managed a hat trick in the first leg.
After a bad consecutive performance, the Croatian coach Ahli Branko Ivankovic should make changes in his team, especially in defense.
Al-Ahli supporters were angry with Ivankovic after the big defeat and asked Prince Mansour bin Meshaal, the club's football supervisor, to find quick fixes and deals to strengthen the back line before the start of the match. the league.
For his part, the new Romanian coach Razvan has pbaded the first test and obtained a great result, far from his home and his supporters. He imposed his artistic style inside the green rectangle, which earned him the second part of the match, and repeated the visit of the net Ahli four times.
The Al-Hilal coach will probably bring no change to his main list, which has managed to get a good result against the first leg and will look for a quick goal to disperse the guest cards. The match will engage Abdullah Al-Maayouf in the goalkeeper and will not jeopardize the participation of right-wing player Mohammed Al-Brek. The last match due to an injury, will be pushed by the young player Mohammed Al Dosari. Ybader Al Shahrani, Ali Blaihi and Hyun Sue, respectively on the left, will lead the duo Mohammed Kno and Abdullah Otif halfway through the first defensive curtain in the center axis, and ahead of them the Carlo and Salem Alos trio. offensive, and Jovenko in the video game industry mission and enter as a second striker with Gomez.
In the last match, it was clear that the Romanian had managed to read the game after the first half thanks to the changes he had made, both in terms of the players on the field and the players that he had hired in the last half hour of the meeting, where the goal of Abdullah Al-Maayouf had moved away from the danger of Alahlhoa. Thanks to the technique adopted and the changes brought by the implication of Ali Blaihi on the left, Abdullah Al-Hafiz and the South Korean Hyun Soo are now in the place of Nawaf Al-Abed and Mohammed Al- Shalhoub to replace the second half of life in the middle of the crescent, which allowed the capital's team In the game prevail.
On the contrary, Al Ahli coach Branko failed on his first mission and his experience in the Gulf and Asian stadiums, led by a number of clubs and teams. His team started to be disjointed and unable to follow Al Hilal. Asiri scored a goal for his team, as well as injuries to defenders Saeed Al-Mawlid and Mohammed Al-Fateel, who forced him to make forced changes to clear his technical papers.
The photo is unclear as to the possibility of the participation of Saeed Al-Mawlid and Mohammed Al-Fateel in the face of this evening, and the medical team is preparing for the decisive confrontation of this evening.
Al-Ahlawi relies heavily on foreign quartet Omar Soma, Degani, Serbian Aleksic and Joseph de Sousa, to lead their team to victory and ensure that it would reach the quarter-finals after a long absence. Local names will not stay away from Mohammed Al Owais in the goalkeeper, Saeed, born right, and opposite to Hussein Abdul The rich left, Mohammed Khabrani and Mohammed Al-Fateel, in the middle defense, and in midfield, Abdul Fattah Asiri and Salman Al-Moasher, should push Hussein al-Maqhawi at Daghanini's expense to increase the numerical density to match the crescent in the middle of the field.
The Croatian is known for his willingness to close all the rear ports and to play a balance between offensive and defensive aspects, but his plan in the last match was not implemented by the players as he painted , in addition to the injuries that disrupted his cards, where he stressed at the press conference that he had lost the three changes following the injuries. His players suffered in the second half and still confirm the chances of his team to reach the next round despite the difficult situation.
This evening's showdown will not be easy on both sides as it is crucial for the quarter-finals and it is certain that both coaches did not throw out all their cards and did not reveal their intentions at first match in Jeddah, and will push this evening thoroughly within 90 minutes to ensure access to the quarter-finals. However, tonight, the preference goes to the fans and the crowd, all the tickets being exhausted early, which means huge public support for the blue team and a big win in the first leg.
In another match, Qatari clashes between Al Sadd and Al Duhail will be repeated on Tuesday in the return leg of the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, where priority will be the priority.
Al Sadd, led by former midfielder and new Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez, will start Tuesday's game at Jbadim Bin Hamad stadium with a 1-0 advantage. A draw without a win will be enough to qualify for the quarterfinals. Only win or shoot 2 – up.
Admittedly, the confrontation will be stronger and more fierce than the first leg since the error is now forbidden and that there is no possibility of compensation.
Al Sadd is hoping to defeat his powerful opponent and hit more than one bird with one stone, as it's not just a question of continuing to compete, but it is also crucial to guarantee participation in the UAE World Club Championship. in December.
Al Sadd is looking to confirm his participation in this tournament, which brings together for the second time in his history continental champions clubs after 2011, whether or not he has won the AFC Champions League, at the Qatari league champion and championship organizer, provided that Aldhail is out of the way, while the latter seeks to qualify. Quarter-finals and continue the trip in the end and win the continental title to seize the honor of participating in the World Cup.
The competition rules do not allow the participation of two teams from one country. If Duhail is crowned continental champion, his finalists will replace the FIFA Club World Cup.
The papers of both teams are clear and there will be no radical change in Tuesday's meeting, with the exception of the absence of Moroccan defender Mehdi Ben Attia of Al-Duhail for injury to the first leg and surgery in France and the need for four weeks of rest and treatment.
The Portuguese coach, Roy Faria, will rely on substitute Bbadam al-Rawi to fill the gap, while Tunisia's Youssef Messakni, the equalizer, and the Brazilian Edmilson will be at the center of the attacks.
"The draw in the first leg will not diminish the team's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals, but we have to work hard, regardless of Al Sadd's superiority in scoring at home," he said. Faria said after the return match.
After largely successful his first test as coach of Al Sadd, Xavi hopes to be able to get rid of Duhail in Tuesday's game in which Boukhi Boualem, who missed the first leg match of his return to the ### 39, training, could be pushed.
Xavi has the necessary weapons to overcome the first hurdle of his training career, with the presence of the Algerian striker trio Baghdad Bounjah, Hbadan Al-Haidous and Akram Afif, the goalkeeper, and behind them, the South-facing playmaker. Korean Nam Tae Hee, former star of Duhail.
"We were better than Al Duhail, but that's football, if you do not take chances, you lose the win," Xavi said after the first leg. "I am satisfied with the performance and I was able to win.
"Tomorrow's game will not be easy at all, on the contrary, it will be more difficult than the first leg, it's a decisive match and both teams will do their best to win the qualifying card," he said. said the team's director, Abdullah al-Buraik, on the club's official website.
"Our players are ready to make a good match, win and qualify for the quarter-finals," he said, refusing to talk about a preference for his team because "although the result is in our favor, we must double the return efforts to invest that. "
