Al Duhail head coach Hernan Crespo stressed his side readiness for taking on Al Hilal SFC of Saudi Arabia in the AFC Champions League 2022 (West) semi-final at Al Thumama Stadium.
In the pre-match press conference, Al Duhail head coach Hernan Crespo said the semi-final was a great chance for his side to create more history, the AFC website reported.
"It will be a very tough game against a great team. But we are also a great team and step by step, we have been rewriting history for our club and we want to keep going.
"Al Hilal are the defending champions and are greatly experienced but I have been telling my players that if you want to become champions, you must beat the champions.
"Yes, they have a lot of experience. Less than a month ago, they beat Flamengo (in the FIFA Club World Cup Morocco 2022). They then played a great match against Real Madrid (in the final). We have great respect for them but our motivation is to reach the final and we have a great opportunity tomorrow."
