Erik Jorgens de Menezes, Al Ain player, said that the AFC Champions League for the elite clubs does not know the language of speculation. So, as a team that is composed of coaching and administrative staff, players, and fans, we are required to perform our best while facing all challenges, which is something that represents the reality of the powerful competition between the champion clubs. We came to Qatar intending to return with the match’s three points with all due respect for the Qatari Al Gharafa.”

Over the pressures that his team is facing in the current season of AFC Champions League, he said: “It is natural to be facing bigger challenges as the champion team that has been crowned with the title of the past edition of the tournament. Of course, we are facing the challenge in the most powerful tournament for the champion clubs on the level of the continent, but we came here to emphasize that we are the best team on the level of the Asian continent and we are representing the United Arab Emirates with the most honorable manner and we are here to satisfy our fans.”
