AFC Champions League 2015

[PSGman#19]

If AFC didn't allow foreign players we would win the champions league every year... The problem is these arab teams/east asian teams have higher budgets than us, they can get top players from abroad which make a huge difference. our best foreign players were juanuario, edinho etc. players that are not known anywhere in the world, these arab teams get players like xavi, raul, ronaldinho etc... for god sakes our teams can't even afford to pay our own players, che berese be bazikonaye mesle xavi

I think IPL clubs should be smart and try to attract some of the quality players that are playing to Qatar/UAE and know asia. That's sure every superstars players won't accept to come here, but quality players such as Asamoah Gyan, Niang or Lima could be targettable in near future. The same with the coaches. Ibrahim touré was one of them and went to Monaco after Iran/Qatar and was pretty successful.
A famous coach like CQ is happy in Iran since 4 years (and he came during a 100% sanction and AN circus period), loves persian foods (dixit Ando).
With the more positive image of Iran after the nuclear deal and I hope the economical revival, it could be doable to attract some quality coaches (Magath, Paul Leguen, Hervé Renard, Scolari, etc..)or players.
Some superstars came in Iran for a charity some weeks ago, I think they saw Iran isn't that bad.

Teraktor could have eliminated Al ahli and advanced instead of them if Toni just didn't rest ando and edinho in the game vs the Uzbek team. Even with a B team Teraktor had the lead twice in Dubai. Then they just signed the Brazilian striker Lima who pretty much single handedly took them to the final

Scolari, the coach of Guangzhou has done a good job winning against Al-Ahli.

Guangzhou winning the 2nd leg 1-0 atm

Min. 54: Elkeson of Brazil scores for Guangzhou.

I will not be happy if Guanghou wins. But I will be happy if Al-Ahli losses. LOL.

Just watched the highlights of the 1st leg.

Both goalkeepers should have been MVP'ers of the game. There were some nice saves from
both sides.

I believe playing in China and in front of a big crowd may be a little intimidating for al ahli's arab players. The Brazilians will cope but they may make silly mistakes.

I'm hoping Evergrande win.

Ticket price reached as high as $6,000 apiece as Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande host the UAE's Al Ahli in the Asian Champions League final next week.

Evergrande and Al Ahli are scheduled to play in the second leg of the final on November 21 in Guangzhou's Tianhe stadium. The two sides drew 0-0 last Saturday in the first leg, reports Xinhua.

The most expensive tickets priced at 39,000 yuan (about $6,100) have been sold out. The second level of tickets are sold at 18,000 yuan (about $2,826) and even the cheapest tickets will cost 600 yuan (about $94).

It is estimated that the box office for this match will exceed 100 million yuan while the number for 2013 second leg of the final was about 50 million.

I hope Evergrande wins.

That's like saying UEFA shouldn't allow Barcelona to buy brazilian, argentinian etc.. That's club system.
In a recent past, we won very frequently against all these arab teams. Even with one or two old stars the rest of the team are composed on weak arab players.

ACL format isn't good at all, because it make play us during two seasons with a transfer window in the middle than destroy teams cohesion. What a crazy idea to qualify for this competition in may 2015 and begin the ACL in march 2016!!! For a same club, it is potentially 3 different teams that qualify, play ACL groups and play ACL final stages until the final


I know Asia is big but making a east and west competition until the final is utter sh1t.

If Iran does not win the Asian champions league next edition, we should just come to terms that Iran produces low quality
