We will take the two local and Asian confrontations seriously and responsibly
During the introductory press conference for his team’s match against Shabab Al Ahli, Al Ain Argentine coach, Hernan Crespo, said: “Actually we started the preparations well and we’re fully aware of how important this week is for our team. We also realize Al Ain strategy of focusing on the team, and this is the most important thing for us now. The players also only think about the team, while certainly respecting the ambitions of the opponent.”

Regarding the “international players” joining the team squad only three days before the intense confrontations, he said: “We did not choose the schedule and rules are rules and the regulations must be respected.
