Boys from Brazil lift Guangzhou's hopes
Hong Kong (AFP) - Luiz Felipe Scolari's Guangzhou Evergrande expect to sweep into the AFC Champions League semi-finals when they host Kashiwa Reysol on Tuesday with their free-scoring Brazilian contingent in top form.
Guangzhou's boys from Brazil scored all three goals in Saturday's 3-0 romp against Shanghai SIPG which saw the southern side replace Sven Goran-Eriksson's men at the top of the Chinese Super League.
Robinho, Ricardo Goulart and Elkeson were all on target, while ex-Tottenham Hotspur acquisition Paulinho scored a 40-yard screamer in last month's 3-1 quarter-final first leg win at Kashiwa.
But the former Brazil World Cup-winning manager Scolari is taking nothing for granted despite the luxury of a two-goal cushion against the Japanese side.
"The atmosphere in Tianhe Sports Centre is wonderful, we have excellent supporters who always give us great support in every game," Scolari said.
"The first leg of the quarter-final was fascinating and both sides showed their own merits, although we did a better job in terms of scoring," he added. "But that has already become history, right now we have to focus on the upcoming match.
"In my opinion, Kashiwa are the strongest opponents we?ve encountered so far in my tenure as Guangzhou coach, and they will certainly make the second leg a tough game for us."
Kashiwa are not the only team with a mountain to climb on Tuesday, when Lekhwiya of Qatar will try to overturn a 4-1 deficit against Saudi side Al Hilal.
On Wednesday, Gamba Osaka will have to cope without suspended leading scorer Takashi Usami when they host Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors with the tie deadlocked at 0-0 draw after the first leg.
Later on Wednesday, UAE's Al Ahli will defend a narrow 1-0 advantage when they entertain Iran's Naft Tehran in Dubai.
Zheng confident Guangzhou will advance
Guangzhou Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi is backing his side to get past Japan's Kashiwa Reysol on Tuesday and secure their place in the AFC Champions League semi-finals.
Guangzhou Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi is backing his side to get past Japan’s Kashiwa Reysol on Tuesday and secure their place in the AFC Champions League semi-finals.
The 2013 champions are defending a 3-1 lead after their superb victory in the first leg, and will have the benefit of playing at the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side are also coming off a 3-0 win over rivals Shanghai SIPG at the weekend, which saw them move top of the Chinese Super League table, so confidence is riding high.
“We just finished the match against Shanghai and we only arrived in Guangzhou on Sunday afternoon, but after the win against Shanghai, we have a lot of confidence for the second leg although we know we will face a strong team,” said Zheng, who was named AFC Player of the Year in 2013.
“I believe a lot is in our favour including the ability of the head coach, the players, and the staff. We have a good head coach and new foreign players, all the team is fighting as one. We can unite and fight as one and our momentum is favorable, and if we can win, we will keep our momentum high.
“We hope to show that Guangzhou can win in difficult times and easy times, and no matter that we won the previous game 3-1, we will handle the next game seriously and prove we are a mature team.”
Scolari focusing on what lies ahead
Guangzhou Evergrande head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has insisted that his side will be fully focused in their AFC Champions League quarter-final second leg fixture against Kashiwa Reysol.

The Chinese Super League champions head into Tuesday's clash with Kashiwa holding a handy 3-1 advantage from the first leg, which was played in Japan.
Guangzhou have twice previously beaten their J-League opponents at the Tianhe Sport Centre Stadium, and they will feel confident of making it three from three. However, there will certainly be no complacency from Scolari's men.
“The first leg of the quarter-final was fascinating and both sides showed their own merits, although we did a better job in terms of scoring,” the Brazilian told the official AFC website. “But that has already become history, right now we have to focus on the upcoming match.”
The Southern China Tigers head into the match on a terrific run of form that has seen them go unbeaten in all competitions since May.
