Zlatko Kranjcar remains optimistic ahead of Al Hilal clash

TEHRAN (Tasnim)- Iran's Sepahan football team coach Zlatko Kranjcar believes his team is well-prepared to defeat Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia.



Sepahan is to host Al Hilal on Wednesday in Isfahans Foolad Shahr Stadium in Group D of the AFC Champions League.

Al Hilal is one of the best Asian teams and I know the team is under pressure after they were held a 2-2 draw against Al Ahli in their home game, Kranjcar said in the pre-match news conference.

Sepahan lost its first match against Al Sadd but at the moment we are ready to defeat Al Hilal. However we know Al Hilal is a strong team, the Croat added.

Al Hilal looks vulnerable at the back but the team is strong in the counter attack, Kranjcar added.
