  • Jeonbuk Motors coach Gus Poyet slammed the organisation of the Asian Champions League Two on Wednesday ahead of his team's quarter-final, second leg against Sydney FC, saying the second-tier continental club tournament was not worth the bother.

The article from Reuters discusses comments made by Gustavo Poyet, the coach of the Greek national soccer team, ahead of a crucial playoff match against Kazakhstan in Sydney for a spot in the 2025 Asian Cup. Poyet criticized the scheduling and logistics of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), particularly highlighting the inconvenience of playing a playoff in Australia, which he described as a "nightmare" due to travel and time zone differences. He expressed frustration over the lack of consideration for the teams' welfare, pointing out the physical and mental toll on players from such arrangements. Despite his complaints, Poyet remains focused on the game, acknowledging the challenge posed by Kazakhstan and the importance of the match for qualifying for the Asian Cup.
