Rui Vitoria Confident Al-Nassr Can Beat Persepolis


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Al-Nassr coach Rui Vitoria says that since the beginning of the competition they have been confident and now want to win the match against Iran’s Persepolis.

The Saudi Arabian football team will meet Persepolis on Saturday at the 2020 AFC Champions league (West) semifinal at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha.

“This is a final match in the west. We wanted to arrive at this game, and we are happy to be here but now we have a game that both teams want to win,” said Vitoria.

“Since the beginning we have been confident. We respect the different problems each opponent poses to us. All teams have areas where they are good and others where they are not so good,” added the Portuguese.

“We know Persepolis has some very good players, but confidence is something that comes from inside for us. We have to enjoy our play but also have the responsibility; this balance is my message for the players ahead of this final,” Vitoria stated.
