Al Hilal Coach Donis Believes in His Experienced Team against Persepolis


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Saudi Al Hilal football team coach Donis said that they can defeat Persepolis in their second leg in the AFC Champions League Round of 16.

The Saudi Arabian team will host Persepolis in Riyadh’s King Fahad International Stadium next week.

"We gave a good performance and created a few opportunities but unfortunately the result didn’t go in our way. This was the first leg and I believe in my players for the return leg at home," he said in the post match news conference. 

“We tried our best to get a positive result but we were a little bit unlucky. We can make things up in the return leg and I believe my team has the ability to qualify for the quarterfinals,” he said.

“The fans can help a team,” he said, adding, “but I believe in tactics as we can achieve our goal with hard training.”
