Persepolis Striker Taremi Hopeful of Winning ACL Title
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Persepolis striker says they are not going to quit easily the AFC Champions League and want to win it.
The Iranian football team came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli in the first leg of the quarter-final just under three weeks ago, and goes into the second leg at Abu Dhabi’s Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium on Tuesday looking to continue its fine run on the continent.
“From the very first game I have said that we are here to win the competition and that we will fight to the very end,” said Persepolis’ six-goal top scorer Taremi.
“It’s going to be difficult but I can guarantee that we are not going to quit easily and we’re not going to get beaten easily. We will fight until the very end and I’m very hopeful that we can achieve our goal,” he added.
“In the first leg the conditions in Oman were very hot so it felt like we were the visitors as we were not used to playing in that temperature. But I’m now going to do my absolute best to make sure I can score in the second leg against Al Ahli,” said Taremi.
