LIVE: Ittihad of Alexandria v Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia) | Arab Club Cup quarter-final
Ittihad of Alexandria in a do or die mission against Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia tonight in Borg Al Arab Stadium.
Ittihad Alexandrias manager, Helmy Toulan, attacked the critics after his humiliating defeat against Saudi Al Hilal 0-3 in the first leg of Zayeds Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Im realistic; I am not good at making up my words. Al Hilal can win AFC Champions League, CAF Champions league and even the Egyptian League! Toulan said to ON Sport.
I wont accept any criticisms that would harm my players as I have high hopes on the second leg, Toulan said.
I trust my players and I am confident that they will do their best, Toulan added.
Ittihad Alexandrias mission became harder after the 0-3 loss in Saudi Arabia. The second leg will take place at Alexandria stadium on Monday.
Dont forget that the team included new 11 players to the squad; its very difficult to find the harmony in a short period, Toulan added.
Ittihad Alexandria reached this stage after defeating Esperance Tunis and Zamalek in the past rounds.
