  • Former England assistant manager Steve Holland will lead his Yokohama F Marinos side into the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League Elite next month increasingly confident the Japanese club can compete with Saudi Arabia's cash-rich elite.

The article from Reuters discusses how Yokohama F. Marinos coach Harry Kewell is optimistic about his team's prospects in the upcoming Asian Champions League quarter-final against Shandong Taishan, attributing this confidence to recent improvements in the team's defensive performance. Despite a 2-2 draw in their last J.League match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Kewell highlighted the team's ability to keep clean sheets in previous games, which has bolstered their defensive solidity. He emphasized the importance of maintaining this defensive form as they prepare to face Shandong, who are coming off a strong performance in the AFC Champions League. Kewell also mentioned the need for his team to be more clinical in front of goal to secure a favorable result in the first leg of the tie.
