Monday … the attention of “Asia Elite” is a look at Kuala Lumpur’s draw
The Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, will assist the Quarto delle ceremony on Monday morning?
The attention is directed towards the city of Jeddah, which hosts the final rounds of the AFC Champions League for the grouping system from 25 April to third May, in which the matches will be played with the exclusion system from once.
8 teams were seized in the final rounds, since Western Asia qualified for al -hhilal, al -ahly and al -nasr (Saudi Arabia), in addition to the Qatar dam, while the Eastern Asia qualified for Kawasaki and Yokohama FC Marinus, the Japanese, the Gangjo, the South Korean and the Thai United Edurim Add.
For the first time from the 2013 version, the championship will attend direct clashes between the East and West clubs in the quarter, since there will be no regional division, which is promised with strong and exciting clashes among the strongest clubs on the continent.
Although the AFC Champions League is a new form of the mechanism of continental competition, it is an extension of the AFC Champions League as in the case of European champions, which this year has entered a new phase with which the intensity of the competition increases and in a completely different way from what is happening in the Asian championship in terms of player’s mechanism of the first phase and qualifies for the advanced roles of the tour.
Nidal Bahran, spokesman for the Confederation of Asian football, confirmed in a special declaration to ASHARQ al -awsat, that “all the instructions of the AFC Champions League for the elite for the elite and organizational structures and mechanisms of the work phase of the League of competitions and competitions the end of the football association at the end of a year 2022”.
Bahran said: “So all the rules of the AFC Champions League for the elite are accredited and established before the start of the tournament, and according to the executive procedures followed by the Department of competitions, the mechanism of the final round of the final rounds was released to confirm the clubs that qualify for the quarterfinals after the end of the round of 16 games of the competition.
And recently there was a debate on media and public on the heroes of the two Saudi groups Crescent and Vikohama to meet up to the final round, since it was reported that some clubs were not aware of this point in particular, which hit the team of the teams in the group stage.
A source of the Qatar Club al -add to Al -Sharq al -Awsat that she is surprised by the decision to grant Saudi to the Hilal Club and the Japanese team Yokohama Marinus on an additional day compared to the rest of the participating clubs, through the media.
The “Asian elite” is an opportunity for the best clubs on the continent to compete for the title, whose financial premium is 12 million dollars, knowing that the AFC Champions League title this season will receive $ 4 million.
Among these eight qualified teams, there are only two teams that previously embraced the title of the continental championship, namely Cescent Saudi and the Qatar dam; The capital of Al -Samimi leads the list of the historical register with four titles, previously for the Qatar dam to reach the title twice.
6 clubs are faced with a historical opportunity to reach the continental title for the first time in its history and the Saudi teams, including Al -hilal, will work hard to reach the title, above all because the exclusive games of the final roles will be held in the collection system in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which improves its possibilities to be a Saudi title.
The last Asian title was reached by Al -hilal in the 2021 edition when he defeated the South Korean bohang in the final that joined them in the Saudi capital, Riyadh and the Saudi team was close to the title of the title in the following year when he reached the final game, but lost Japan Irawa.
Al -hhilal qualified for the western Asia teams with 22 points without being subjected to any loss after 7 wins and a single draw, but lost in the 16 against 16 against Uzbek Bakhtakor in the first stage, before punishing his guest when they met Riyadh, earning the match of four and crossing the quarter -final.
Al -ahly’s team, who qualified for the first phase, runs on the same balance owned by Al Hilal, continues to lead the German Matthias Yisle, its ideal results, without any loss, since it has been successful in the victory over Qatari Rayan back and forth to confirm its suitability to qualify.
Al -ahly was faced with the opportunity to reach the Asian title twice; The first was in 1986 when he qualified for the final game and lost it in favor of the South Korean busan with a score of 3-1 in the meeting that joined them in the city of Jeddah, while the second opportunity was in the 2012 edition, when the continental final reached and lost three against the South Hyundai Hyundai in the meeting that was held on the ground of the last.
The Saudi victory was the third in the first phase with 17 points, as it won 5 games and drawn twice, and lost once in front of Qatari at the -Sadd, while in the 16 round he held up in front of the Iranian independence of Tehran negatively without goals, before raining his goal in the second leg and reserves his place between adults.
Al -Nasr was close to embracing the continental title in the 1996 edition when he qualified for the final game of the tournament, but he lost it against the South Korean seongnam with a golden goal.
